Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I don't own any familiar plots, setting, or stories
Authors Note: Sorry this took forever. I've actually had a life and my friend and me have been working on three other stories that we are trying to actually get publish. They are all Fantasy novels and we think that they are actually decent. Oh yeah this whole chapter is very chopped up and very fat paced but this is kind of the boring part. On with the show.
"Follow me" Hagrid said guiding Harry and Dudley threw out London. The two of them were still in a bit of shock and didn't say much since their leaving. They approached a small pub with a sign over it saying the Leaking Cauldron.
"Why are we going into this miserable place?" Dudley said out loud.
"I have a reason for all my actions now come along." Hagrid looked like whenever should have even brought along the little brat.
"Hey look its Hagrid!" Someone shouted when the three entered the Leakey Cauldron.
"The normal?" The bartender asked
"No, I'm here on official Hogwarts business. Can't mess around." Hagrid said and pushed the two boys to the back of the pub.
"Oy! That's Harry Potter," Someone shouted. Everyone turned and looked at Harry. He was very shocked at this outburst.
"What about me? I am him cousin Dudley." Dudley said extending his hand, yet no one shoke it. He grumbled and pouted for a bit.
"Come on we must be going" Hagrid insisted pushing the two out the back door. He counted a few blocks on the far wall and tapped it with his umbrella. The Bricks moved out of the way and formed an Archway Saying Diagon Alley. Dudley and Harry gasped at what was beyond the archway. Hundreds of Witches and Wizards crowded the market place. There were also many different shops selling thousands of different things.
"How…how are we supposed to pay for our stuff? You heard Uncle Vernon, He said that he wasn't going to spare a dime to us" Harry Asked.
"What? Did you think that your parents didn't leave you anything? Dudley, your mother has some money stashed away in the vaults too, come now." Hagrid told them. They followed him to a large White building; a large golden sign (A.N. Hell if I know if it is golden or not, just go with the flow) said Gringotts above it. Inside the building were many goblins standing behind a large white counter. Hagrid stepped up to one of the goblins.
"Yes" the goblin, said looking up from his work.
"I will like to empty out a Mister Harry Potters Vault, and A Mrs. Petunia Dursley's vault. Also vault number 713(A.N Since I lost my Book, I was forced to start a new game on The Harry Potter Computer game and watch the beginning movie until it said the vault number And as I write this I think I put in the wrong one)" Hagrid told the goblin. The goblin called over another goblin and instructed him where to go. They went on an exciting ride threw the Gringotts mines. Hagrid was scared to look and Dudley threw up once, but Harry thought it was the most exciting thing ever.
"Harry Potters Vault. Do you have a key?" The goblin asked them. Hagrid nodded and gave him a small Key. The goblin opened the vault and to Harry's surprise saw mounds and mounds of gold, bronze, and silver money. Hagrid had to hold back Dudley while Harry went and collected a handful of Knuts and Sickles and A few Galleons. On the ride to London Hagrid had explained the Wizard money exchange to Harry.
After stepping back into the cart and they went sailing around again, Dudley started Gloating.
"If you had that much, Imagine how much I will have."
When they reached Dudley's vault and the goblin had opened it. Dudley was in for a very big surprise. The Vault was practically empty except for a few stacks of silver sickles and Knuts and then a few galleons. Dudley grabbed a handful of everything and entered the cart disappointed. Harry tried not to laugh, because for once in his life, He came out better then Dudley had.
Their last stop was Vault 713 and when the goblin opened it a mist of green smoke excited it. All that was inside was a small grubby brown package, which Hagrid hurriedly grabbed and stuffed in his coat. Whenever Harry or Dudley asked what it was he just repeated, 'Hogwarts Business'.
(A.N. Skippy Skippy Skippy. They are done shopping and I will let your imagination go wild for now. They are now about ready to get on the train to Hogwarts)
Harry and Dudley dragged their trunks threw the train station. Many people were giving them odd looks because of Harry and Dudley's owls. Dudley's owl was the complete opposite of Harry's Hedwig. It was coal black and he named it Talon.
Harry looked back at his Hogwarts letter, it said on it to get on at platform 9 ¾ but when they asked a train conductor he just laughed in their face. In front of Platform 9 he saw a large family of redheads, 4 of the kids each had trunks like Harry and Dudley. Harry walked up to the Mother of all of the kids.
"Excuse me maim? I'm sorry to be rude but are they going to Hogwarts?" Harry asked them.
"Oh are you new? Ron here is new too." She said indicating a tall red headed boy. He smirked at them.
"Well good for him, how do we get on there?" Dudley asked rudely. Harry jabbed him in his shoulder and the woman gave them a disapproving look.
" Just walk straight ahead between platform 9 and 10 don't worry you will go straight threw the wall" the woman said to Harry. Seeing that they did not believe her she turned to one of her other sons.
"Percy, go ahead with Ron." He nodded and the two of them walked straight forward when a crowd passed and when the crowd parted they were gone. The two twins went on next and finally Harry and Dudley. Before Harry went threw though he turned to the woman and thanked her deeply. She smiled sweetly to him and pushed him along.
Once threw Harry went and found an empty compartment on the scarlet red train. He figured that Dudley could fend for himself now. Glancing out the window, he watched the red headed family, he soon discovered that the names of the twins were Fred and George and the younger sister was Ginny. After they stepped aboard the train the boy named Ron came to Harry's compartment.
"Excuse me. May I sit here? All of the other compartments are full" Ron said Harry nodded.
Ron sat across from him.
"Hello I am Ron Weasley and you are?" Ron looked at Harry's face clearly for the first time and said.
"Why you are Harry Potter aren't you?"
"Yeah how'd you know?" Harry replied
"Why everyone knows who you are, you are the boy who lived, the boy who killed you know who. Do you really have, you know, the scar?" Ron said still gazing at Harry. Hagrid had told Harry already about Voldermont so Harry soon understood. He pulled up his bangs and showed Ron his lightning shaped scar.
"Wicked" Ron exhaled.
"So who was that with you. He didn't seem very friendly, no offense" Ron said changing the subject.
"That was my cousin and none taken. He is only the rudest person I know. It's a shame he had to be accepted, but I don't really mind. I'm just wondering where he is," Harry said. The two soon became close friends as Harry told Ron about his life and Ron told about his. They were interrupted about a half hour later. A small plump boy and a girl with long bushy brown hair showed up at their compartment.
"Hello this is Neville Longbottom and I am Hermione Granger," She said to them in a very bossy voice.
"Harry Potter, this is Ron Weasley" Harry said. Hermione and Neville gasped.
"Oh I've read all about you…" She said and started to give a long speech about how she was originally a muggle and when she got the letter she got this book that told her practically Harry's Whole life story
"Was there a reason for you being here?" Ron asked interrupting her as she was talking about different people who had claimed to have spoken to Harry.
"Yes actually there was. You see we were looking for Neville here's toad. He seemed to have lost it." She told them. They informed her that they had not seen it and the two left.
"I know this may have been a wrong accusation but, I don't quite think I like her" Ron said before continuing his conversation about Quidditch.
After awhile the sweet cart came around and Harry bought both of them large amounts of sweets. After the plump lady left 3 figures entered their compartment.
"So, I heard the famous Harry Potter was in this compartment. Is it true?" A cold drawling voice said. A boy whose main feature was his blonde silver hair and gray eyes. To his left and right stood two large ugly boys.
"So it is. I am Draco Malfoy and this is Crabbe and this Goyle. I'm guessing that is a Weasley over there. I can tell by the hair and the state of his clothes" The Boy sneered. Ron Stood up quickly but Harry pushed him back down.
"You know you should choose who you hang out with better. Hanging out with the likes of him will not get you anywhere, so I offer you my friendship." Draco said
"I'm sorry but I don't need you as a friend if you are going to insult those who are already my friend" Harry said Draco gave them one last sneer and left with Crabbe and Goyle following.
(A.N. Skippy again. They have already met McGonagall and the ghosts now they are at the sorting.)
"Hufflepuff!" the sorting hat yelled. It continued screaming out different houses when each name was called and then it came to.
"Dursley, Dudley" It yelled When Dudley placed on the hat it screamed "SLYTHERIN" almost instantly. Hermione Granger got sorted into Gryffindor much to Ron's disappointment. Then Draco Malfoy went up to the hat and it stayed on his head for a very long time. Then it shouted "Gryffindor!" Malfoy stood their horrorstricken and many others in the hall couldn't believe it either. Ron burst out laughing when it said it. A Malfoy in Griffendor, seriously! He grumpily sat down at the table and avoided many of the other Weasley taunts. When Harry's name got called, everyone took enough time to stop gawking at Draco to gawk at Harry and he was sorted into Griffendor. (A.N. I don't feel like sticking in his speech in here) Last but not least Ron Weasley was called and Placed in Griffendor. He sat happily next to Harry and watched the last few people get sorted and then watched an old Man with a long gray beard stand up.
He gave his speech, informing everyone that the third floor corridor was forbidden and so was the forbidden Forest. Then announced that the feast to begin.
After a very hearty meal the prefect's led them up to the portrait of the Fat Lady and to their dorms. Their trunks were already there and Harry fell asleep quickly, excited for the next day.
Authors Note: I know I kind of rushed the end there but I have been typing this for more then an hour now and I don't feel like going into details. Now that I'm done with this part I can have some fun not going by Row ling's original work but re-writing it. I'll still have the pretty basic plot line but just run differently. Hmm anything else? Oh yeah there is the new twist Of Draco into Griffendor instead of Slytherin. That was just a spur of the moment idea so yeah.
