Day Twenty-One

The Surprise

Marge yawned a little as she walked into Harry's room. She was up only a little earlier than normal. Though there was a good reason for her being awake. She opened Harry's door and walked into his bedroom quietly. She glanced over to the bed and smiled when she saw Harry still fast asleep in his bed. He was sprawled out on the mattress. The quilt was almost all on the floor, only a small corner clinging onto the bed. She walked over and picked it up and gently laid it over him again. She smiled down at him as he curled up with a happy sigh. Marge turned away and went over to his dresser.

Marge opened the dresser and started to go through the clothes, picking out a few for her to pack away for Harry. She wanted to make sure that they would have enough to last them. She had already picked out and packed most of her own clothes. Marge was the type to leave the packing until the very last minute. She turned her head towards the bed when she heard a little movement coming from it.

Harry yawned as he sat up in the bed frowning a little when he saw Aunt Marge over by his dresser picking out his clothes, "Aunt Marge?" he queried as he started to climb out from under the covers, "What are you doing?"

"I'm picking out some clothes that we need to pack for you. Since we are going away." She chuckled slightly as she smiled over to him.

"Oh yeah!" he grinned as he jumped from the bed and ran over to Marge and hugged her around the waist, "We're going away!"

"Yes we are, now we need to get ready for it. We have a few hours before we have to go. We need to pack away some clothes. You can chose a few Muggle toys to take with you, I'm sorry but the magical ones will have to stay here for now." She told him as she stroked his head and ruffled his hair a little.

"That's okay, I don't mind. I have lots of cool toys now." He giggled happily as he rushed over to his toy box and started looking through it.

Marge went back to taking a few more clothes out before she took them to her room and packed them away into the large suitcase that she had laid on her bed almost an hour ago. Harry followed her as he brought in three toys.

"Can I bring my train, and Mr Dog and Mr Frog?" he asked as he held them up to show her what he had chosen.

Marge smiled down at him and nodded, "Yes, of course you can. Is it all right for them to be put away until we get there?" she asked softly.

Harry looked to them for a moment and then nodded, "all right." He told her as he handed them over to her.

"Thank you Harry," She chuckled gently as she took them and packed them into the suitcase. She made sure that the train wouldn't be broken during its journey.

Harry nodded as he climbed onto her bed and watched as she packed away their things. Marge then pretended to have trouble closing the case, causing Harry to giggle at her.

"Instead of giggling my little man, come and help an old lady." She joked with him as she pulled a face.

Harry giggled and said, "You're not old." He giggled even more as he sat on the case and bounced a little. It clicked shut as she then locked it.

"Maybe," she shook her head as she picked him up and cuddle him a little, "Right. I think it would be a good idea for you to have a bath now."

"Yep!" he said popping the P as she carried him into the bathroom. She had already had a shower earlier. She started the bath running and then undressed Harry. Smiling happily as she saw bruise free skin. No longer were his ribs so prominent, he had a bit of weight on him now. While she could still see them, she wasn't as worried about it as she had been when she had first seen them.

It didn't take long for her to have him in the bath, washing his hair and helping him to wash himself. Marge let him play for a little bit. She splashed him a little and he splashed her back, giggling and laughing.

"Okay Harry, time to come out now." She said as she grabbed the fluffy blue towel off the radiator. Harry stood up and she wrapped it around him and picked him up, "Shake your feet," she told him as he kicked his legs a little and was then set down onto the mat. Marge pulled the plug and then began to dry Harry as she said, "Tiberius will be here soon as well."

"He's coming with us?" Harry asked, his eyes alight with happiness.

She nodded her head, "Yes he is. I thought it would be nice to have Tiberius with us as there are some magical places we can go and see." She told him, "and he will be guiding us the where they are and to tell us all about them."

"Really?" he asked her, eyes wide.

"Yes, we're going to have a good look around at the Muggle side of things as well as the Magical." Marge told him as she helped him into his clothes.

"That will be brilliant." He laughed as he then rushed off downstairs, as though Tiberius was going to appear out of thin air.

Marge shook her head as she went into the bedroom and picked up her case. She took it downstairs and left it near the front door. Tiberius had told her that he had made all the arrangements for their little holiday and that they were going there by magical means. It was going to be an adventure she was sure. It was a last minute decision to go on holiday, even though it was only for the weekend. She thought it would be a nice idea for Harry to have a change of scenery and to have a little fun.

XxXxX

Marge went to the door and opened it, she smiled as she let Tiberius into the house.

"Afternoon, sorry I was going to come by earlier and have breakfast with you. Lucius fire called me this morning for a talk." Tiberius said as she closed the door behind him.

"Fire called?" she queried, wondering what he meant by that.

"Oh, sorry," Tiberius smiled to her, "Yes, erm, its a method of communicating with others. Like the phone but using fire. It doesn't hurt. We use a special powder you put it into the fire and it forms a connect to another fireplace, you stick your head in and they can see you and hear you and then you can talk to them. To end the call you pull you head out and it stops it." He did his best to explain, he had never really thought of the mechanics behind Fire Calls.

"Right," she nodded as she took in the information and then asked him, "and what was the fire call about?"

"Well he was contacted by Dumbledore, asking for a day to meet you and Harry. It seems to be the day after we get back. So I hope you are ready. I don't know what he wants to talk about. But I will be here with you, and Lucius said he would be there as well. He may bring Draco with him, so Harry can play for a bit while we all talk." He answered her softly as he walked into the living room to see Harry reading on the sofa, Ripper at his feet.

"Hello," Harry sang out his greeting, a wide and excited grin on his face.

"Afternoon Harry," he smiled back as the child got up from the sofa and went over and hugged him. Tiberius smiled even more as he bent down and picked him up hugging him, "looking forwards to our little holiday?"

Harry nodded vigorously as he went, "Yep!"

"Good to hear." He chuckled softly, setting Harry back down.

Harry climbed back onto the sofa and told him, "I can make my ball change shape and colour and I can make it go a little higher now."

"Really, well done. You have really good control of your magic don't you." Tiberius smiled as he went and sat down next to him on the sofa.

Harry nodded, "Yeah, Medusa told me to try and make it go up in the air. So I did, but I can't make it stay up for very long."

"Don't you worry about that, you'll soon get the hang of it." He smiled as Marge sat down on a chair. "You both ready?"

"Yes, just need to wait for Tony to come. He is the one that takes care of the dogs while I am away. I always have him over here so I can hand him the spare key and give him the list I made for him. As well as a little money to take care of them. I also pay him well for it. And he has always done a good job in the past." Marge smiled and nodded.

"Go…" he began as someone knocked on the front door.

"That should be him." Marge said as she got up and went to answer the door. She took the young seventeen year old through to the kitchen and started to talk to him. When she finished she walked back into the living room, Tony following her.

"Hi," Harry said as he gave a little wave.

Tony smiled, his brown eyes were kind as they looked to the small child, "Hello there," he greeted with a nod, still smiling.

"Are you going to take really good care of the doggies?" Harry asked him as he stood up and looked up to him.

Tony knelt down and nodded his head, "Yeah I will. Don't you worry about that, they are lovely dogs and I like to play with them. Marge has told me all that I need to know about them to make sure that they are well taken care of."

Harry looked to him and could see the honesty in the teens eyes and smiled, nodding his head, "Okay then. They are really special doggies you know."

"I have no doubt about that." He grinned to the child, "Right. I need to go, I'll be back a little later on to check on them Marge." He then said as he stood up, "Mum needs a little help in the shop." He chuckled as said goodbye to them all and then left them alone.

"Right. Lets us get going." Tiberius said as he went into the hallway and let Harry watch as he shrunk Marge's suitcase and put it in his pocket. "That was a shrinking spell, it doesn't do anything to the clothes or things that are shrunk, it just makes them really small for a little while. And I'll make them their proper size when we arrive. Now we are going by portkey, which is a magical form of transportation. You hold onto it and it makes everything spin around really fast, but if you bend your legs a little like you've jumped down a step you'll land on your feet." He told the both of them.

"Okay," Marge said a little unsure, but willing to give it a try.

The three crowded around the rope that Tiberius had brought out. When they were all holding onto it tightly he tapped his wand against it and off they went, towards their holiday destination.

XxXxX

They had been on the Isle of Wight for a few hours and Marge was tired. Harry had wanted to go everywhere as soon as they arrived. They'd had dinner in a lovely little restaurant and Tiberius had taken them to a small area that was hidden away from the Muggles. Most cities and towns had a small alley, noting on the scale of Diagon Alley, but with a few small shops in them where people could get their potions and magical items.

"Harry," she called to the little boy who was almost dancing ahead of them.

"Yes Aunt Marge," he said as he turned and darted back to Marge and Tiberius.

"Don't get too far ahead of us, we need to go back to the hotel. Time for you to go to bed." Marge smiled to him as he stood between the two adults and took a hand each.

The three walked down the street to their hotel. Tiberius and Marge shared a smile as the two lifted Harry up and swung him forwards.

Harry laughed as he yelled out, "Again!"

Tiberius chuckled and nodded as he said, "All right," getting a nod of agreement from Marge.

The two swung him a little higher this time, and Harry squealed in delight, making the two adults laugh joyously. It was nice to see Harry so happy and carefree as they walked down the street. They did it a few more times as they walked down the street.

"Okay Harry, no more, you're exhausting us." Marge smiled down to him.

Harry nodded his head, a little disappointed as he said, "Okay."

"We have a nice day out planned for tomorrow. So you need to get your sleep." Marge told him as he looked up to her and smiled.

"Little boys need their sleep for the adventures ahead." Tiberius told him gently.

"Yep. What are we doing tomorrow?" he asked, as he looked towards the beach. They hadn't gone on the beach as they had spent most of the day in the Magical part of the Isle.

"You'll see." Tiberius said as he picked the child up and swung him up onto his shoulders.

Harry yelled out and laughed as he settled down, holding Tiberius hands as as they walked towards the hotel. Tiberius ducked as they came to the door and went up the stairs to the second floor where their rooms were located. Marge let them into the small suite that she and Harry were sharing. Tiberius room was next door to theirs. Tiberius let Harry down and he ran over to the doors that led to the small balcony.

"Can we sit out there?" Harry asked as he turned towards the two.

Marge nodded as she went to the doors and opened them as she told Harry, "Now, don't climb up okay, I don't want you to fall."

Tiberius came up behind her and cast a few charms to make sure that he would be able to fall. "I made sure he can't accidentally fall now Marge," he told her, giving her a reassuring smile.

"I think magic is a blessing." She said, as she smiled back to him.

"A lot of people think the same when they find out about it. But there are some that are afraid of what they don't know and will never be able to truly understand." He said, a slightly sad tone in his voice.

"I can imagine." She told him gently.

"Tiberius," Harry said as he looked to him as Marge went into the room to get them all something to drink before Harry had to go to bed.

"Yes Harry," he wondered as he sat down and looked to the small child. There was a serious look on the small face.

"Do you think I'll be a good wizard when I'm older?" he asked sounding unsure, "What if I can't do magic like all the others? What if I'm not good enough?" he said almost in a panic as he looked to his hands.

"Harry, I want you to look at me," he called out softly as he waited for Harry to look up at him. "There we go." He smiled as he Harry looked to him, green eyes meeting his own silvery blue, "Right. You're four, almost five years old now, you're still very young and you have a long time before you will be going to Hogwarts. There is nothing for you to worry about. I can tell that you will be a wonderful wizard. I know that you're brave and kind and caring, and I know you will do everything you can to be the best wizard you can. You'll go to Hogwarts to learn, just like everyone else. It doesn't matter who you are, Pureblood, Halfblood or Muggleborn, we're all the same, even if some forget that. We all start off the same." He smiled as he did his best to reassure Harry that he will be fine.

"So it's okay if I don't know anything?" he implored, wanting to know if it would really be all right.

He smiled down to him, "It will be fine, you go there to learn, and I know that you will do your best to learn all that you can."

Harry smiled and sighed in relief, as he believed Tiberius, "Okay, I will do my best."

"I know you will." He said as Marge walked onto the balcony and set down some tea for herself and Tiberius and some hot chocolate for Harry. She had made sure to bring some with her, wouldn't do to go without some tea when they were in their room at night.

"Thank you Aunt Marge," Harry grinned as he looked to his hot drink, "I'm going to be a good wizard Aunt Marge, and I promise that I will do my very best at school as well."

Marge smiled and nodded, "I know you will Harry. Now, when you've drank that it will be time for bed. Tomorrow we're going out in the morning, so you need a good nights sleep."

Harry nodded and used his spoon to drink the liquid, causing Tiberius and Marge to chuckle slightly as they watched and drank their own tea. It had been a good day. Harry had enjoyed the Magical section on the Isle of Wight. They hadn't brought anything, though Marge had a feeling that Harry would like to get a present for Draco, as he had mentioned it when he looked to the toys. It didn't take long for Harry to finish and to be tucked up in his bed. Harry talked on and on about the day as he fell asleep mid sentence.

Thank you all for the fantastic reviews, every single one of them are keeping me on track and making sure that I carry on with my schedule. Thank you all!
