A/N: I wrote half of this chapter in a tent by the light of a lantern, be happy. And no I'm not lying I went camping and it was raining. I think I'm getting carpel tunnel from typing so much, my hands are killing me. And I will be gone for the next 3 weeks so sorry no chapter till I get back. Well read on for the tale of Harry James Potter is far from complete.
Disclaimer: I did own Harry Potter but I woke up and found out it was a dream.
Chapter 10: Catching up
As the holidays came closer the teachers gave up on controlling the students and let them chat with friends while they did their work. But the teachers like Snape and McGonagall kept them working until they were on the train home.
"Does anyone know a spell to forget everything you've learned this term?" Meg asked, closing her eyes on the seat.
"No, but why would you want to forget everything?" Harry replied
"My head's too full," she said. "I really need break; I'm going to catch up on all of my sleeping. How about you guys?"
"I'm going to be completely board as my grandmother has tea with old people." Neville said. "How about you Harry?"
"I don't know, hang out with my mum, and my grandparents, I'm just glad I don't have to go to my Aunt Petunia's house her son Dudley's just awful."
"Sounds like fun, are your grandparents boring?" Neville asked.
"No, they're really fun." Harry replied. "Well my mom's parents are anyway."
The train started to slow down when London came into view, it was utter chaos in the halls of the train were packed. The steam filled the platform was full with kids running to meet their parents. Lily was standing over in a less crowded corner looking over the tops of heads for Harry.
"MUM!" Harry exclaimed, grabbing Lily's attention. A smile spread across her face as they embraced. "I missed you so much!"
"I missed you too, Harry, come on I'll help you with your trunk." She said after hugging him. They both lifted Harry's trunk onto a trolley and off of the platform. They strategically maneuvered through the crowds of muggles to their car and onto the road. "So how's school been?"
"Well . . . ah . . . school,"
"Very informative, any details?"
"Well Gryffindor beat Slytherin by 240 points."
"Always nice to see them get beat, but how are classes going, do you like your professors?"
"+I love everything but History of Magic, Professor Binns just drones on and on about goblin rebellions and giant wars. Potions is awesome; so is Professor Campbell, she's really fun."
"So you like your father's class?" She asked.
"Yes, it's really easy after all the others."
"Oh good, I know he loves having you in his class. Who's Professor Campbell, I've never heard of her."
"So she's the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."
"Oh, yeah they've never been able to get anyone to stay more than a year there. So made any friends?"
"Yes, Megan Potter and Neville Longbottom."
"Neville longbottom?"
"Yeah, he's really nice,"
"And Megan must be James Potter's daughter."
"Yeah, how'd you know?"
"I went to school with James, anyway go on."
"She's really funny, although she doesn't like to pay attention in class."
"Sounds just like Potter," Lily said, pulling into the driveway. "Here we are, home sweet home."
"It's lovely, mum," Harry said, staring at the decorated house. There wasn't a whole lot of decoration but there was just enough; garlands bordered the windows and white lights accented them along the roof top.
The inside of the house was the same as the outside, garlands of sweet firs encircled the banisters with bright lights illuminating them.
"Why don't you go drop your stuff in your room and wash up, I'll get dinner going." Lily said, heading toward the kitchen which was smelling quite good.
"O-kay," Harry said yawning, he hadn't noticed how tired he was. He pulled the heavy chest up the stairs and into his dust covered room. He laid down on his bed to rest his legs and was soon fast asleep. Lily came up ten minutes later to see if he was ready for dinner, but instead she tucked him in and let him sleep.
