Chapter 51: Three Weeks at the Dursleys
Vernon has barely acknowledge his daughter since coming home. Petunia knew she had to teach Dudley and Harry how to change a diaper. Even though Harry would only be there for a couple weeks.
"What if she pees on me?" asked Dudley.
"She can't do that, only boys can do that." Said Petunia.
They learned how to change the diaper.
Less than an hour later the doorbell rang. Harry got it and it was Robin, Erza and Hermoine.
"Hey!" said Harry.
"Don't worry someone will be here everyday." Assured Hermoine.
"Is Sirius here?" asked Robin.
"He went house hunting." Said Harry.
Petunia noticed Robin was among them.
"Oh Lisa is your mother here?" asked Petunia.
"No, she was busy today since this is a busy time of year." Said Robin, "But I'll tell her you wanted to talk."
Petunia nodded.
They went into the living room where Daisy was in her play pen playing with toys.
"So how is she doing?" asked Robin.
"She's doing fine." Said Harry, "I don't think she noticed anything yet."
That was when Daisy began to make noises looked at Harry.
"You want to be picked up?" asked Harry.
He licked her up and she started giggling.
"You're good with kids." Said Robin.
"Yeah." Said Harry.
"This will be great training for you." Joked Robin.
"What do you mean?" asked Harry.
"Remember you're going to have to have 7 wives." Pointed out Robin, "And you have to at least child per wife…"
Harry began to blush.
"Lisa… don't make him think about that." Said Hermoine.
Robin just laughed.
The next day it was the same group as the day before but now they were but now Haruna, Ron and Momo were with them. Samantha and Sonya were with them to accompany them.
"All right! We're going to see a movie!" said Haruna.
"What movie?" asked Harry.
"Jurassic Park." Said Haruna, "I heard Pro. Flitwick wants to see it really badly so we minds as well check it out."
"Okay." Said Harry.
Dudley heard about what was going on.
"Can I come too?" asked Dudley who really wanted to see that movie.
"Sure." Said Robin.
"Just try not to talk through it." Said Haruna.
"Do we all have to go?" asked Petunia.
"No was we should stay behind." Said Sonya.
Petunia had almost forgotten Sonya was there.
"We can stay behind and talk." Said Sonya.
Once the kids and Samantha were gone they talked.
"Sorry about not coming over yesterday, I was busy, summer's a busy time for us what with a lot of new Muggle Borns showing up."
Petunia nodded.
"So Vernon still ignores her." Said Sonya.
"He's not going to help me at all." Said Petunia.
"Maybe you should hire a magical nanny." Said Sonya.
"A magical nanny?" asked Petunia.
She began to think about Mary Poppins.
"No… not like that. Magical Nannies never act like that." Said Sonya then added, "At least not to Muggles."
"Do you have any ideas?" asked Petunia.
"I don't know… a lot of people I know are busy. I think Molly might, but I doubt Vernon would agree since he already knows her." Said Sonya.
"Maybe I should see if Sirius knows someone." Said Petunia.
"I don't think he's the best person to ask." Said Sonya.
That was when Sonya could have sworn that she saw some toys flying around.
"We should go check on her." Said Sonya.
They both saw that Daisy was making the toys fly around.
"She's going to be the brightest witch of her age." Said Sonya.
Petunia blushed a little when she said that.
A couple hours later at the theater, they were leaving.
"That was wicked!" yelled Dudley, "Especially at the end with the T-Rex coming in!"
"So those things really existed?" asked Ron.
"Except for the cloning, all of those once existed millions of years ago." Said Hermione, "But the velociraptor were smaller, the dilophosaurus was bigger and didn't have a frill and no one knows if they really spat venom."
"Well it was an amazing movie." Said Erza.
Haruna had a look in her eyes.
"What are you planning?" asked Momo with a worried look.
"Oh just an idea for an upcoming drawing." Said Haruna.
Momo knew what that meant.
"I can't believe I didn't think of it before." Said Haruna.
That night after dinner Petunia was talking with Sirius about if he knew any magical nannies.
"Are you asking to get back at Vernon or…" said Sirius.
"No I'm asking because Daisy's a witch." Said Petunia, "Grow up!"
"I'd love to, but now's not the time." Said Sires.
Petunia rolled her eyes.
"I might know someone who will be up to the task." Said Sirius, "From her letters it seems Andi doesn't have anything better to do."
"Andi?" asked Petunia.
"My cousin Andromeda, plus she's on good terms with her husband's family so it should be fine." Said Sirius.
"She married a Muggle born." Cleared Sirius.
"Oh…" said Petunia.
"I'll send her a letter and see if she's interested." Said Sirius.
A few days later, Shampoo, Ino and Ron made up the visiting group.
"Are you all clean?" asked Harry after he had to change Daisy's diaper.
"You know Harry, this is good training." Said Shampoo.
"Lisa's already teased me." Blushed Harry.
Ron and Ino laughed a little.
That was when the doorbell rang.
Downstairs Sirius was the one to get it. At the door was a woman with curly light brown hair and kind eyes.
"Sirius it's so good to see you." Said the woman.
"Sorry we had to meet like this." Said Sirius.
"It's all right." Said the woman who Andromeda.
"So you must be Andromeda." Said Petunia.
"Nice to meet you." Said Andromeda.
They all met by the table.
"So I heard toured daughter is a witch and your husband refuses to acknowledge her." Said Andromeda.
"Yes." Sighed Petunia, "Harry can you bring down Daisy!"
Harry brought her down.
"Come on le's go play Mega-Mutilation Part 3." Said Dudley.
"Mega-Mutilation Part 3?" asked Andromeda.
"It's a game for the PlayStation." Said Sirius.
"I see," answered Andromeda not knowing that it shouldn't even be out yet.
"So do you have any children?" asked Petunia.
"Yes, Nymphadora." Said Andromeda, "But she's all grown up now and training to be an Auror."
"Are you good with cleaning?" asked Petunia.
"Mostly spells." Said Andromeda, "I do sometimes clean manually when my husband's family around."
Petunia nodded, seriously considering her.
Of course what really mattered if Daisy liked her too.
"Do you think you can hold her?" asked Petunia.
She handed her the baby. The baby cooed and smiled at bit, she didn't start crying which was a good sign.
"You're a little cutie aren't you!" cooed Andromeda, "Aren't you?"
This got a small giggle from Daisy.
Petunia smiled relating that Andromeda might be the one to use.
Soon enough Sunday came around.
Vernon scowled, as he knew Harry was going to have friends over.
"Do they have to come everyday?" asked Vernon as he was waiting.
Harry didn't want to answer fearing what Vernon might do.
That was when the doorbell rang Harry got it.
The group today was Ron, Hermoine, Haruna and Erza.
Erza had a look on her face.
"It's time to restart training." Said Erza.
Harry froze, he knew sooner or later it had to restart.
Both of them had their practice sword out.
"We'll start out with a spar to see how you are now." Said Erza.
"I was wondering when do they do training in the year?" asked Ron.
"Usually in the room of requirement and it's only during the weekend." Said Haruna.
"Is this really necessary?" asked Ron.
"It took you a year to ask?" asked Hermoine.
"I was just thinking." Said Ron.
"Let me draw you a diagram." Said Haruna.
Haruna took out a pen and a drawing book.
"Okay if a wizard gets into a fight a fight and one of them loses their wand then he's at the other's mercy." Explained Haruna, "But if a wizard can use a weapon of some kind…"
"I see." Said Ron looking at the quick pictures she drew.
"With Pettigrew still out there who knows what he'll do." Sid Hermoine.
"And who knows what old Voldie will do." Said Haruna.
Hermoine nodded while Ron was a little confused.
Over the course of the next few days, Harry continued his training, however one day Erza let Harry take a break so that Sirius can show him the place he bought.
It was a rather impressive multi-room condo that was not too far away from down town London.
"There's severely bedrooms so we can have a game room, guests rooms and a training room." Said Sirius, "Oh and a room for Moony."
"Is he going to live with us?" asked Harry who seemed really happy about it.
"If I can convince him. It might take while though." Said Sirius.
Harry misled, though something was bothering him.
"How much does this cost?" he asked.
"It doesn't matter I can afford this place." Said Sirius.
"If you say so." Said Harry.
That night at Dinner Sirius was telling the Dursleys that they were invited to the House Warming/ Harry's birthday party.
"I was to see your new place." Said Dudley.
"Count me out." Muttered Vernon.
"Good, because I was hoping you couldn't make it." Said Sirius.
The two began to glare at each other. The glares were so harsh that Daisy started crying.
"Come on." Said Petunia, "I'll go change your diaper."
However the move was still more than a week away…
The next day, Erza showed up with Robin, Momo, Mami and Luna to act as her minders.
"It's good to see you Harry." Said Luna, "I was helping daddy find crumple-horned snorkack so I couldn't come sooner."
That was when Dudley ran downstairs.
"Oh hey Luna, it's good to see you,." Said Dudley.
Harry blinked.
"Did you find any?" asked Dudley/
"Not this time." Responded Luna.
Mami and Momo looked at each other surprised.
"I guess no one told you, Luna and Dudley are pen pals." Said Robin.
"What?" asked Harry, Mami, Erza and Momo.
Turns out the two started writing letters to each other after meeting at Harry's birthday party the year before.
And tow talked during their visit which during his break Harry couldn't help but to stare at them.
"I wonder." Said Erza.
"What?" asked Harry.
"If Dudley befriend her because he's not trying to be like his father." Said Erza.
Harry thought about it, it did make sense, Luan was a strange person by Wizarding world standards.
Befriending someone who was so far away from what Vernon considered normal might have been a way Dudley was breaking away.
Robin heard what they talked about.
"I really hope it lasts." Mumbled Robin.
After all Robin had taken Luna under her wing and she was often worried about the girl since she still was teased by her classmates.
The next Monday was a special day for Petunia.
She had officially hired Andromeda to help her with everything, it would give her a week to get used to things and still allow Harry to help out around the house, especially since he was still one of Daisy's favorite people.
"Hey Aunt Petunia." Said Harry as he lifted Daisy up high, "Has she met Aunt Marge yet?"
"Yes." Said Petunia.
"Did anything happen?" asked Harry.
"Well…" said Petunia.
Marge Dursley turned out to be the person Daisy hated most. Anytime Marge would try to pick her up Daisy would just start screaming.
Petunia told Harry the story and Harry tried not to smile but couldn't.
"Was she the woman that made Augusta come over?" asked Andromeda.
"She was." Said Petunia.
Andromeda laughed, "I can't wait to meet her." She said with her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"I doubt she'll come any time soon." Said Petunia.
That night Vernon met their new nanny, of course they didn't tell him she was a witch and came up with lie.
"Andromeda Tonks." She introduced herself.
"Andromeda?" asked Vernon.
"My family was big on astronomy." Said Andromeda.
"I see." Muttered Vernon.
That was the little attention he gave her that night, not that she minded.
Over the course of the next few days Harry continued to his training with Erza with his other friends making sure she didn't do anything too bad.
However that Saturday was moving day. Although Harry really didn't have move that much.
"We'll see you at the party." Said Petunia.
"Yeah." Said Dudley.
Daisy was pouting at Harry.
"I'll see you soon, I promise!" said Harry.
Daisy still pouted.
And so Harry and Sirius headed to their new place.
It was well decorated. There was a vary large TV made by the M Division along with a VCR.
"Let me show you your room." Said Sirius.
Sirius led Harry to his room there were Quidditch posters on the walls.
"If you want to switch them out you can, I just did some best guesses about what team you liked." Said Sirius.
Harry noticed that one of them was of the Chudley Cannons (Ron's favorite team) but there was also one of the current Caerphilly Catapults, which he remembered helped pay for his broom (and Terrence was on the poster too).
The room was also decorated with red and fold and there was a TV with a Super Nintendo.
"I know I can get you a PlayStation since it's not out yes, so I figured a Super Nintendo would be good." Said Sirius.
"This place is great." Said Harry.
Sirius gave him a grand tour. Among the things was what he joked would be Remus' room.
"Still haven't convinced him." Said Sirius.
A couple guest rooms that had two beds each, a game room and a room that had grass instead of a carpet and some weapons on the wall.
"This is your training room." Said Sirius, "Since I know that Sally-Anne is still training you."
"Yeah…" sighed Harry.
"Look I know it's tough if you get an 8 as strong as she seems you'll have no problem." Said Sirius.
Harry laughed remembering when he tried to break into the tower and got chaise off.
After dinner which was some pizza they ordered Harry headed to his bedroom. He looked up and the celling and smiled.
HE was freed from the Dursleys for one more year. This was going to be a great rest of the year.
But he didn't know what was going to happen soon… no one did… After all this coming school year was going to the toughest he has yet to face.
Next Time: It's time for the Housewarming/ Harry's birthday party. Not only that but it's almost time to head to the Quiddtch World Cup! What will happen? Find out next time!
