Okay this is the next chapter! I'll keep putting them up randomly until I've got to the part I've written to, then it might slow down a bit! Thanks for the encouragement! Enjoy!

How did they die?

A little later Harmony and Harry were very quietly eating the ice cream Hagrid had bought for them.

"What's up with you two?" Hagrid asked.

"Nothing," they said at the same time. They went and got parchment and quills. They both cheered up when they found a bottle of ink that changed color as you wrote. When they left, Harry asked Hagrid something that Harmony had sort of seen coming.

"Hagrid, what's Quidditch?"

"Blimey, I keep forgettin' how little you two know-----not knowin' about Quidditch!" Hagrid replied.

"Please Hagrid, don't make us feel worse." Said Harmony. They began to tell Hagrid about the boy from Madam Malkin's.

They talked about Muggle families and things for a while and Hagrid told them about Quidditch. Then they got to the really interesting subject, Hogwarts Houses.

"What are Slytherin and Hufflepuff?" Harry asked.

"School Houses. There's four. Everyone says Hufflepuff are a lot o' duffers, but-----" Hagrid began to answer.

"I bet we're in Hufflepuff." Harmony said unhappily and as she looked at her brother he nodded which told her that he felt the same.

"Better Hufflepuff than Slytherin," Hagrid told them darkly. "There's not a single witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin. You-Know-Who was one."

"Who's You-Know-Who?" Harmony asked.

"Oh that's right yeh don't know. I guess Dumbledore didn't tell yeh?" Hagrid asked. Harmony shook her head slowly.

"Well I can't tell yeh everythin', but it begins with-------well--------- it's amazin' you don't know his name---------"

"Who?" Harmony probed.

"Would you like me to say it?" Harry asked Hagrid. Hagrid looked at Harry and nodded.

"Voldemort," Harry told her. "but don't say the name. Most people are still scared of him."

"So he's the one that killed my parents?" Harmony asked.

"Yeah," said Hagrid. "On Halloween ten years ago, he turned up where you were living. You and your brother was just a year old. He came ter yer house an'-----an'------ You-Know-Who killed 'em. An' then -------an' this is the real myst'ry of the thing ------he tried to kill you. That's why you have that scar. That's what yeh get when a powerful, evil curse touches yeh----took care of yer mum an' dad an' yer house, even----but it didn't work on you, an' that's why you and your brother are famous. No one ever lived after he decided ter kill 'em, no one except you.

That's how her parents had died. Dumbledore had told her they were killed, but she had never thought they were murdered. Her brother and her had survived a curse that was meant to kill them and that's why everyone knew her. Somehow this didn't seem so great anymore.

"But what happened to Vol—oh sorry, You-Know-Who?" Harmony asked.

"Good question. Disappeared. Vanished. Same night he tried ter kill you. Makes yeh even more famous. Some say he died, some say he's still out there, but I don't believe it. Some of his lot came back. Some of 'em came outta kinda trances. Don' reckon they could've done if he was comin' back."

"Most of us reckon he's still out there somewhere, but lost his powers. Too weak to carry on. 'Cause somethin' about you finished him. There was somethin' goin' that night he hadn't counted on------I dunno what it was, no one does-----but somethin' about you stumped him, all right." Hagrid finished.

They remained pretty quiet as they went to get some more of their stuff. They went into a bookshop called Flourish and Blotts and bought their books. Then they went to get cauldrons and after that went to get potion supplies. When that was done Hagrid checked their list.

"Just yer wands left----oh yeah, an' I still haven't got yeh a birthday present."

Harmony felt herself go scarlet, when she looked over she realized her brother was almost the same shade as she knew she must be.

"You don't have to------" Harmony said.

"I know I don't have to. Tell yeh what, I'll get yeh an animal and you can share. Not a toad, toads went outta fashion years ago, yeh'd be laughed at-----an' I don't like cats, they make me sneeze. I'll get yer an owl. All the kids want owls, they're dead useful, carry yer mail an' everythin'." Hagrid said.

Twenty minutes later Harmony was the partial owner of an owl. They had picked a beautiful snowy owl. Which Harmony had fallen in love with at first sight. Harry and her were now taking turns stammering their thanks.

"Don' mention it," Said Hagrid. "Don' expect you've had a lotta presents from them Dursleys, Harry. An' Harmony didn't get a cake from me, now did she. Just Ollivanders left now----only place fer wands, Ollivanders, and yeh gotta have the best wands."
