As he usually did Sirius came over that morning to be with his favourite nephews. They had never told him they could do wandless magic as they knew he wouldn't have understood why they had learned it. As he came in Harry looked thoughtful. "What is it pup?" he asked as Harry ran at him enveloping him in a huge hug. "Uncle Sirius I forgot to ask you something I've been meaning to. Do you know where I can find Severus Snape as I need to apologise to him over how my dad bullied him. I was so sad when I saw dad's memories of this. I hate bullies and while I'll always love my dad I am very disappointed in him!" he said wiping a tear away as Sirius looked shocked to the core.

"Harry Severus Snape is a bad man. He is a follower of the man who killed your parents. He is the Potions Professor in Hogwarts" Sirius answered him honestly. "Yes ok. That is good to know. Well maybe if dad had treated him better he wouldn't have gone with Voldermort. He was my mums best friend until she met my dad. Besides which he didn't kill my parents Voldermort did. I won't have him bullied or blamed because of who he hung around with! Being bullied is awful. I was bullied in school before and we had to tell the teacher to stop it. I hated it and so I will never ever bully anyone no matter who they are or what I feel about them" Harry said seriously. Sirius knew it was a lost cause trying to get Harry to dislike Snivellus and he couldn't help but feel that Harry might have had a point in what he had said about Severus becoming dark. "Ok Harry just try to have a good time anyway and remember what I said ok that some pranks can be good. You don't want to be so serious that you forget to ever have fun at school. Come on and let's go to the station. Petunia, Vernon you guys hang on to one of the children and let's all floo there now!" he instructed as they all flooed off to the train station together. Due to his parents dying and all he'd had to learn about wandless magic and magic in general it was no surprise that Harry thought a little more maturely then most.

They arrived both Harry and Dudley gasping in awe at the huge shiny red steaming train before them. The train looked amazing and Harry was so excited about the amount of people running around that made the place buzz. Dudley was fascinated with the people who had more exotic looking pets and stuff from the joke shop. Both he and Harry had some magical wallets with money in them which only they could access. After all it did prevent future stealing. They left their bags and things at the baggage section of the train and both said goodbye to the three crying grown ups who were sad to their boys go. As the train whistled and took off they took out their wizards chess set smiling. They had looked forward to playing it on board the train for ages and had kept it for this occasion. It was as they were heavily involved in playing it that there compartment door was opened. There stood a young quaking boy with brunette hair. "Eh hello excuse me but I was wondering if you've seen a toad at all? He's called Trevor and I've lost him!" he said as tears streamed down his face. "What is your name? I am Harry Potter Dursley and this is my cousin Dudley Dursley!" said Harry to the young boy who gaped. "Ugh I'm Neville, Neville Longbottom" he said in awe. "Well Neville we've not seen your toad but do you have your wand on you as we know a spell which can find him for you!" asked Dudley happily.

"Please could you teach my this spell Dudley?" asked Neville who was now jumping about on his feet with excitement. "Sure ok so hold out your wand and say the spell word which is Accio and then say Trevor's name as it is him your looking for. If you want to find anything put your wand out and say accio followed by the name of whatever it is and it will come to you. This is especially handy for lost shoes and socks! I read about it in our spells book earlier on and it sounds like a wonderful and handy spell to use" he said giggling. Neville took out his wand and said aloud accio Trevor shocked when the toad came flying into his arms. "Thank you so much!" he said shocked at the fact that he had done some magic so well. "Would you like to join us Neville?" asked Harry smiling. "I would love to. Are you really the Harry Potter?" he asked excitedly. "Yes I am Harry Potter and the so called boy who lived. My parents were killed by Voldermort and so I now live with my aunt and cousin Dudley here. This is why I have their surname too. I am just Harry though and I don't like all this boy who lived nonsense. Don't look so scared Neville Voldermort is just a name and a nickname at that. His real name was Tom Marvolo Riddle you know. I mean it's not even that great really. If you are afraid of the name Voldermort you will only be more afraid of him. It's only a name and a silly one at that!" said Harry making him smile slightly.

"You are right Harry and Gran always says that too. I reckon she'd like you, you know!" he said enthusiastically. "Were your parents killed by Voldermort too? I'm sorry Neville I shouldn't have asked that I wasn't thinking! It was just when you mentioned your gran and not them I got carried away" said Harry looking bad for what he had said. "No that's alright. They weren't killed by him but made insane by methods of torture used on them by one of his followers. They are always in hospital now and so I don't much like talking about it. Although they were very brave and wouldn't give up so I admire them so much for that. I only hope I can be as brave myself one day!" he said leaving to use the loo momentarily. "That's really sad about his parents. I hope he can be our friend I really like him Harry. He has no confidence but with friends like us he'll be fine in no time. Maybe we should teach him some wandless magic we'll see. What should we do for our prank? You know uncle Sirius has asked us to do one and then tell him all about it!" said Dudley in excitement. Harry was thoughtful about it. "You know what we should do? I've read in Hogwarts a History that all the staff sit with the headmaster at the top table in the Great Hall where all our meals are eaten. I think as Wizards don't wear much of interest we should remove the cloak of every second person and the hat of every other person sitting there. If nothing else it will look funny!" said Harry smiling brightly.

Dudley agreed just as Neville returned. It was then that their compartment door was once again flung open. "Oh my god I've heard that the actual Harry Potter is in here where is he?" said the ginger boy who was jumping up and down with excitement. Harry waved his hand slightly without anyone seeing and in a moment he felt as though he'd been slapped across the face stopping in shock. "Calm down now! I am Harry Potter Dursley now please explain who you are?" said Harry looking slightly afraid of this boys over excitement. "Oh yeah I forgot sorry mate but you're a celebrity and I've never met a celebrity before. I'm Ron, Ron Weasley!" he said in excitement once again. "Well Ron it is nice to meet you but Voldermort killed my parents so I'm not a celebrity. I am Harry Potter Dursley and I would like to remain so. Thanks anyway!" he said as Ron shuddered.

"Ron don't fear someone called Voldermort as it's not his real name just a stupid nickname. His real name was Tom Marvolo Riddle and being afraid of his name will only make you afraid of him as a person which is silly!" said Dudley shocking him. "Thanks eh...?" "Oh right yeah sorry my name is Dudley Dursley and I'm Harry's cousin. It's nice to meet you Ron!" he said happily as Ron joined them. This is going better then I ever thought it would. I'll be Harry's friend and have access to all his money before long. Mum will be so proud and Ginny can finally have the husband she deserves when she's older. I hope Dumbledore will be proud of me after all we waited at the platform entrance as he told us to. Anyway I better try extra hard he thought a heavy smile on his face. He didn't understand how he'd gotten past them at the entrance but he guessed they'd arrived extra early anyway. Dumbledore had told him to befriend Harry in order to gain access to his funds which he was to then supply to him as and when he needed them.

He could take it easily and as Harry had so much money it wouldn't be noticed if some was taken. Oh how wrong he was. As the train rolled on they played more wizards chess with Ron beating them all and then Harry beating Dudley. The door was opened once again this time by a much more confident Draco Malfoy.

"People are saying Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts which one of you is that?" he asked them all. "I am Harry Potter Dursley who are you?" asked Harry calmly. "I am Draco Malfoy and you'd do better being my friend then friends with a blood traitor like Weasley, a squib like Longbottom and a Mudblood like whoever that is!" he sneered at Dudley who waved his arm tripping up Draco. Again no one noticed. "Why would that matter to someone like me? I like anyone who can do magic. I don't care what blood type they are as I am half blood myself so why should it matter to me what they are. I don't use the disgusting term mudblood and so if you want to be my friend you will not use it ever again. If you are to be my friend you must accept everyone for who they are!" he said passionately thinking of how badly Severus had been treated by his own dad. "Well... We shall see just how clean they are after a duel later on. You had your chance to be friends with the best and you blew it ROYALLY!" he snapped leaving in a huff.

We will be arriving at Hogsmeade station in five minutes. Please put on your cloaks and leave all of your things on the train as they will be delivered to your dorms once you've been sorted into your houses. They all prepared as they landed and saw Hagrid once again. He lead them over to the boats. "Ok now only four to a boat. Are we all in? Right ok FORWARD! Right so we'll be seeing Hogwarts around this bend here. Ok now keep your heads down as we're going under this rock here. Mind yourselves" he said leading them inside the castle. "They are all here Professor McGonagall!" he said as they noticed the stern looking witch up ahead waiting for them. "Thank you Hagrid. Now everyone line up here. We will be going into the Great Hall behind me for your sorting in a few minutes. Firstly we have a point system here. This is to say that if you do good things you will earn house points for your house and then any rules breaking will loose you house points. At the end of the year the house which has the most points will win the house cup. This is an honour and so each house tries to win it. As well as the house cup we have the quidditch cup which is won the quidditch team of the particular house which has won the most matches!" she paused to see they understood before continuing.

"Now here we have four houses all of which have there own meaning. Firstly we have the house Gryffindor of which I Transfigurations Professor McGonagall am the head. Our house stands for Bravery and Loyalty. Next we have Ravenclaw of which our charms professor, Professor Flitwick is the head of. This house stands for knowledge and wisdom. Then we have Slytherin whose head is our potions Professor, Professor Snape. They represent cunning and Ambition. The last house is Hufflepuff of which our Herbology Professor, Professor Sprout is it's head. This house stands for Loyalty and hard work. Now straighten up yourselves and I'll be back to get you for your sorting momentarily" she said leaving them alone once again.

Ron was very nervous about having to face a troll which Harry didn't understand but was preparing to fight one anyway should the need occur. She came and got them again leading them into the great hall. It was covered with floating candles in the ceiling which was bewitched to resemble the nights sky. They were all told to wait and come up to the hat to be sorted into their houses one after the other. Everyone went on down the list and Dudley was called out shocking Dumbledore to the hilt. Having him as a cousin Dumbledore had thought he'd have no magic. A quick peak at the boys mind showed natural occlumency which annoyed him no end as he noticed that the boy probably had no idea he even had it. He was sorted into Gryffindor. Harry was called next further shocking Dumbledore with his name and occlumency ability. "Who in the hell told Ron Weasley we had to battle a troll to get sorted as well as this? This is ridiculous! I'm so sorry ma'am I was just annoyed as I had been worried I'd have to battle a troll which I'm not prepared for!" he said as she looked furious. "I can see why this would annoy you. Don't worry the Weasley twins are always pranking everyone and should not have said it to their brother when they couldn't be sure he'd keep it to himself.

Harry groaned as Dumbledore entered his head shoving him out rather roughly. "Oh wow my head hurts. Excuse me sir but whoever you are please don't look inside my head without asking me if you can. I'd like to get sorted but you are stopping me. Please have more sense and manners next time!" he said angrily but politely as Dumbledore was shocked to the core. "You felt that? I am the headmaster my dear boy and I was just checking something out nothing to worry about. I was merely curious as to what was inside one of our greatest heads but I won't try that again!" he said smiling sheepishly at his staff who were fixing him with glares. Eventually Harry joined Dudley at Gryffindor. As the night went on Dumbledore announced that the third floor corridor was out of bounds to anyone who didn't wish to die the most painful death. Harry was shocked to the core at this news. As the room filled with food he winked at Dudley as they started taking off the cloak of Professor Babbling and the hat of Professor Sinistra and so on. It was as they got to Professor Quirrel that things got weird. They removed Severus Snape's cloak giggling slightly into their hands as everyone in the hall laughed and then screamed their heads off.

"What is it? Why is everyone screaming?" he asked Percy Weasley who was sitting beside him white as a sheet. "Harry it's professor Quirrel. He's got he who must not be named in the back of his head and he's passed out!" he said as Dumbledore muttered a spell so the body was elevated moving it along the hallway and towards the door. Harry panicked becoming extremely nervous and wondering what to do now when suddenly his accidental magic kicked freezing time so Dumbledore stood still with Quirrel out before him. He called out and no one moved or heard anything. He touched Quirrel's neck as he'd seen in casualty on TV and shrieked as the mans neck turned to dust him evaporating and the spirit of Voldermort leaving his body. Harry sat back down in his seat looking scared. What would that spirit do now? Suddenly the room unfroze with Dumbledore shrieking at the now dusty remains of Professor Quirrel. He saw the spirit charging at Harry and needing to look as though he was actually doing something he captured it in a bubble throwing it into the large burning fire in the Great Hall the evil spirit burning away to nothing.

It was highly shocking for everyone. He frowned as he realised everyone had seen him throwing the spirit into the fireplace. He used his wand to make a sonorous charm. "Everyone please do not panic. It would appear Lord Voldermort tried to make another appearance again tonight but he got himself killed for it once again. I am one of the best wizards alive and I would never have let him hurt any one of you. I genuinely I had no idea Professor Quirrel was like that and just thought he was a bit quiet and weird. I am sorry he was not the good man we all thought him to be" he said solemnly. Dumbledore assured everyone that everything was alright and that it would still be unadvised to go to the third floor corridor. Harry was horrified by what this monster had done. As the feast was ending he approached the head table.

"Excuse me please I am looking for Professor Snape!" he said as the man in question looked up in shock whilst putting his cloak back on confused as to how in the hell it had come off in the first instance. "Yes that's me what do you want Potter?" he snapped. "It's very rude to call someone by their surname sir. I just wanted to deeply apologise to you for how my father treated you when he was at school. I saw his memories of it and he was most happy about all he'd done. He was a bully plain and simple and I don't accept bullies. I just thought you should know I am sorry for his actions. I'll always love him but that doesn't mean I'm in any way proud of him at all. Everyone here knew what he was doing and no one once reprimanded him and he was a jerk. I know you hung around with Voldermort oh don't worry about that idiots nickname cause no one anywhere is taking you seriously with a nickname like that. You may have been seriously misguided in your choices but you did not kill my parents, he did, and I'll have a serious go at anyone who says otherwise. I know from my mothers memories you were an amazing guy and I look forward to being taught by the greatest Potions Master in a century. I'm so lucky. Thanks sir." he said as Snape looked gormlessly at him. "Thank you Harry. Now off to your house with you goodnight!" he said in total shock as Harry left with the others to see his brand new house.

"Now follow me that's it. Here is the main staircase area. This is the main thoroughfare and it is through here that all of your classes will be reached. Please pay attention as the stairs sometimes move around on their own and so can change the direction in which you are going in an instant. Come on! Come on! Keep up you lot!" sneered Percy annoyed when they stopped to look at photos and paintings along the way. "Yes that's all lovely but don't dither all day as I'd like to still be young when we get there" he said angrily however soon as he'd started he'd suddenly became unable to continue talking at all thanks to Dudley who looked both a Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. Oh shut up will you? He muttered as Harry laughed at the now flustered prefect who was trying to talk and flailing his arms around wildly. He was left like that for five minutes until he looked calm enough. Dudley released him and he smiled once again. "Welcome to the seventh floor and our entrance to Gryffindor House. Here is the portrait of the fat lady who guards the entrance to Gryffindor. She will ask us for the password and when we give it to her she will open her door to allow us access to our home watch this and please pay close attention to me!" he said happily but impatiently as well.

Password? Cabot Draconis he said as the portrait swung open allowing them access. They entered the common room. It was round and covered with various couches in various locations all over the room. In the corner there were some seats and desks on which you could do your studies. At the other corner were two sets of stairs leading to the girls and boys dorm rooms. By some of the couches was the main fireplace which was very large and had a nice warm blazing fire in it. The walls were adorned with various pictures of old Gryffindor's and animals. There were a few books shelves filled with various books all on Gryffindor of course. It was coloured in deep burgundy and gold shades and was very welcoming indeed. On the coffee table that rested on a rug before the fire there was a bowl which seemed to be never ending filled with various Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans. As Percy finished his speech he told everyone where to go to get to their rooms.

Harry and Dudley went up the stairs following their given directions. They learned they'd be sharing their dorms with Neville Longbottom, Ronald Weasley, Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnegan. Harry had explained to everyone that he was indeed very normal and didn't want to be labeled at the boy who lived or any of that crap as he simply felt it was annoying and to be honest it was getting old fast. Their dorm was round in shape and each person had their own section. In each section was a four poster small double bed with a bedside locker to one side and a wardrobe to the other. Harry and Dudley however were different indeed. They had brought some muggle stuff with them as well as some magical things. They each had a years supply of batteries and a small boombox so they could chill out and listen to music as and when they chose to. A few magical protection spells saw to it that it never broke. As it used batteries and not electricity it worked well in their world and indeed at home.

Harry unpacked his things and put up his Oasis, Coldplay, Supergrass, Eminem and Corner Shop Posters to the shock of Ron and Neville. Dudley had posters of Santana, REM, The Fugees, Daft Punk and Queen up. They were both so happy to be putting their own personal mark on their own spaces. As Harry fell into bed that night so tired he wandlessly silenced everyone's curtains so if someone did snore it wouldn't wake him up. Saying goodnight to Harry Dudley fell asleep straight away.
