Harry Potter and the Truth
Chapter 6
Harry awoke the next morning by Mystic licking his face. "Hey" he groaned tired. He got up and stroked Mystics long black fur. After he put on his glasses he could see the clock more clearly. It was 9:02am. Harry looked around and saw that everyone else was still asleep, so he decided to wake them. "Hey...If you don´t wake up now you will miss breakfast" he yelled. The four boys jumped up.
"What was that for mate?" Pete asked sleepy. All boys looked at Harry.
"Breakfast is only until 10am and it is already 9:10am so you better hurry up if you want some" Harry said as he went to the bathroom. Soon the rest of the boys where in the Bathroom as well. When Harry was done he quickly fed his Familiars and left for breakfast with the other boys. Once they were seated at a Table they discuss what they wanted to do that day. They decided to take a tour around the school grounds. Harry took Mystic with him. The Grounds were beautiful. Everywhere was green grass, beautiful flowers, plants and big trees. Behind the school building were the Greenhouses, a gym and the Quidditch pitch. Next to the School building, on the right side, was the 4th year house. It was right next to the lake and on the side of the waterfall, under which one could go through. Mystic ran right into the water. Harry picked up a branch and threw it after her. They easily got up to a game of fetch. Luckily they brought some Lunch. They played for the rest of the day with Mystic. When the sun was beginning to set the boys realized that the Sky was charmed to look like the sky outside. They decided to walk back to their house to get ready for dinner. The boys agreed to continue their tour tomorrow. When Harry got ready for bed that night an owl flew through the window and landed next to his bed. He knew that owl...it was his Family owl. With shaking hands he took the letter from the owl. He opened it.
Harry James Potter,
You bring that cloak back this instant. It is not yours to have. Also you will come back home from wherever you are. How dare you run away like that...you won´t even survive on your own...your only a squib after all. Professor Dumbledore is very angry and disappointed with you.
Mum & Dad
Harry laughed. Of course they care about that cloak more than about him. But what about Dumbledore? Now he knew that he knew the truth. Dumbledore wanted him back under supervision.
"What is so funny?" Neville asked as he came out of the bathroom. Harry handed him the letter. Neville quickly scanned it and started to laughed as well. „Your Family needs to sort out their priorities" he said. "Are you going to answer?" he added.
"Maybe tomorrow" Harry said, took of his glasses and went to bed. The next day they woke up at 8:38am. After breakfast they continued their tour. They started where they let of...at the lake. They walked along the path by the lake and soon found themselves at the campfire place. The path led into the Forest. There were two ways to go from there. They decided to walk left. The Forest was beautiful and they could see many owls. Unicorns and Fairies. Soon the path came into an end right at the 5th year house so they turned around again and then took the right way. That way they reached the 6th year house. They walked past by it and soon they found two houses right outside the Forest. It was the 7th and 8th year houses. They realized that they were near the parking lot. From there they walked down the path that Mr. Thomas showed them. Now they also saw the 3th year house. As it was already past Lunch time they made their way back to their house to have Tibby bring them some lunch. After some Sandwiches they played some pool billiard. After he lost his first round Harry decided to write a response to his Parents.
Mum & Dad,
Sorry that I have taken the cloak but as it is a Family heirloom, given to the first born son, I thought that it is mine. I won´t come back until you see the fault in your way of living and believes. By the way I got an apprenticeship together with Neville Longbottom and we're out of the country. I transferred my Vault as well. Maybe you should talk to the Goblins about this...because there is a lot more going on than you think.
Harry
He sealed the letter with the Potters crest (a Griffin on a blue and red background) and went to dinner with the other boys. When they sat down at a Table they saw Cole walking towards them. "And how were your first days?" he asked.
"Great...Pete, Thomas this is my older brother Cole" Finn said. They shook hands.
"Hey Cole...can you tell me how Owl post works here?" Harry asked.
"Sure...The Owls live in the Forest and on the Rock wall behind the Forest is a spell so that only Owls can go through them" Cole said smiling.
"Thank you" Harry said and Cole left to sit with his mates.
"Got that letter for your Parents ready?" Neville asked.
"Yes...I hope I can make them see their mistakes at some point" Harry said sad.
"Hey...if not you can always come to my place for the Holidays" Finn said smiling.
"Thank you" Harry said. After dinner Harry saw Hedwig sitting on the windowsill by his bed. "Okay Hedwig...I´ve got a letter for my Parents...it will be a long flight so please take enough breaks and be careful" Harry said and Hedwig bobbed her head and flew away. Harry sat down on his bed and looked over his Homework once more and as it was a school the next day he got to bed early. They all woke around 7am the next morning.
"What do we have first?" Thomas asked while packing his back.
"Potions" Harry said happily.
"Do you have experience at Potions Harry?" Pete asked.
"Yes...it is very interesting and dangerous you should pay close attention in class" Harry warned them. After Breakfast they quickly made their way to room 55 on the left corridor on the second level. The Door was still closed so they sat down on the floor and waited.
"Harry?" asked Neville quietly.
"Yes?" answered Harry.
"I am not sure about Potions...you said it is dangerous and I tend to be clumsy...could you please help me out?" Neville asked shyly.
"Of Course Neville" Harry Said smiling.
Soon the Teacher came and opened the Door. "Welcome class...please sit down" she said nicely. Two people could sit at each table. Harry and Neville sat at the front with Finn and Pete on the table on the left and Thomas with Hannah on the right table. "My name is Amber Thornton. In this class it would do you good to pay close attention. Potion and Herbology are very close together so I advise you to pay close attention in that class as well. Today you will read the first three chapters of you textbook. In these chapters you will learn everything about safety measures and how to prepare your ingredients. You will first learn how to prepare for a Potion before you start brewing. You may start now" she said in a very strict tone. Potion was done soon after that. As Homework they had to finish reading the chapters and write summary's about each chapter. Next they had Charms class. Charms were on the same level but in the right corridor. The door was open and Mr. Thomas was already sitting at his desk. They sat down at the front again. In Charms they had to read again. Harry found Charms interesting. Mr. Thomas promised them that they would start the levitation charm next week. Lunch was a very loud affair. The first years all got tables close together to discuss their Classes. Next they had History of Magic in room 20 on the first level on the right corridor. The Teacher was Julie Dawson. It was more boring than the other classes they had so far but interesting none the less. It was soon over and they all made their way back to their House as they didn´t had any more classes that day. They sat down to do their Homework. Harry was the first one done so he grabbed his Charms Textbook and went to the training room. He wanted to learn the spell ahead. Neville soon followed and they both practiced very hard. The other boys and some girls showed up later as well. Shortly before Dinner some of them were close to performing the spell. Pete however had problems.
"You have to imagine how the feather floats and then concentrate on it. Your incantation and wand movement are correct" Finn said smiling at him.
"Yeah but not tonight...it is dinner time" Thomas said. They all left for the dining hall.
