Part Three:
Four Wheelers and Body Guards



Harry woke up next to Alex on the couch.They ended up wraping their arms around each other that night.He gently laid her down and got up.He now smelled like she did.He went downstairs to see if anyone was up.Reese was cooking breakfast and Samantha was watching T.V.He went to the bathroom after saying good morning to Reese and Sam.He washed his face and brushed his hair and teeth.( Mr. Hawkins let him borrow a toothbrush.)He then went to the staircase. On his way up he looked at the pictures. There were lots of them with Alex and Sam and Reese with a short woman with wavy blonde hair.He figured this was their mother.In many pictures there was either corn fields behind them or thick forest.In others it was the inside of a house or Alex and Sam with their friends at school.Alabama looked really beautiful.When he got up to the top of the stairs Alex was raising up.She just sat there for a minute, her thick and messy hair covering her face.She let out a long groan.
"Good Morning!"he said.
"Good morning.I don't wanna get up!"she whined.
"Well come on anyway.Your dad wants you to come down for breakfast."
"Whats he cookin'?"
"Eggs, sausage,bacon,and biscuts."he said.
"Biscuts!"she squeeled, flipping her hair back.
"I'll be down in a minute!"she said, and ran and opened one of the many doors and tumbled inside.Harry went back downstairs and sat on the couch beside Sam.
"'Sup?."she said.
"What?"
"'Sup?"
"What do you mean" 'Sup"?"he asked.
"Wassup means 'what are you doing'.When people say wassup you're usually supposed to say 'nothin' much'.Understand?"
"Yeah, I think so."he said.Suddenly a very heavy something landed in his lap.It was their dog.He hadn't really paid attention to it the first time he was here, and had to laugh at what he saw now.This dog was brown and white, had huge ears that stood straight up, no tail, and very, very short legs.It was kind of small, but very heavy-for it was very muscular.It had some of the prettiest markings he had ever seen before.
"Thats Tucker.Isn't he cute?He's a Welsh Corgi."said Sam.
"He is cute."he said.
"He dosen't know any strangers.Come on guys-lets eat.ALEX!"Mr.Hawkins called.
"COMING!"she yelled back.She ran down the stairs.Today she was wearing flares again, a baggy gray t-shirt with a Nike check on the front, and her huge boots.They all sat down and ate breakfast.Harry was beggining to feel like he was at the Burrow.People from Alabama kept coming ( by floo powder )out of the fireplace to have breakfast.By the time it was over, he was sure he had met at least 15 people.None of them were magic folk but the people from Kymberleys side of the family,considering that Reese was muggle born.After breakfast Sam went to America by Floo Powder and Reese went somewhere for supplies.Harry and Alex went outside to the garage.She opened the door.
"Ever ridden a 4-wheeler before?"she asked.Inside the garage were two large four-wheelers and a go-cart.
"No, but I can learn."he said.
"All right.Lets go."she said.
Harry felt like he was flying while he was riding on the 4-wheeler.It was great! They rode all over town.By the time they got back Harry was sure that Reese had put some kind of a charm on them.
"Hey- Harry!"
Mr.Hawkins was calling him.
"Yes."
"Would you like to stay with us until we go to the Burrow?"he asked.
"Yeah that would be great!"said Harry.
"All right.Lets go get your stuff."
And so they went to the Dursleys.Dudley had obviously seen Harry riding the 4-wheeler because he was begging Uncle Vernon for one.Harry cleared his throat.
"What do you want-"but noticing that there was an adult with him he straightened up and introduced himself.
"Nice to meet you."said Resse.
"Whatever the boy has done believe me he will get a good punishment.Thank you for bringing him here now goodbye,"said Vernon.
"Oh, he hasn't done anything.I was just wondering if he could stay with us before he goes to his friends house."
"Him.Stay with you?I think not!"he now had Harry by the arm.
"He is staying here!"
"Please. If you are afraid I will find out he is a wizard, you're too late. I already know.I am a wizard too."Reese said.
Uncle Vernon now jumped back in fear.He was telling Petunia and Dudley to stay upstairs, and looked like a madman picking up things and throwing them at Vernon.Then, to Harrys surprise, Reese put a spell on him that made him unable to move.
"Lets get your things."After he and Harry got his stuff they said goodbye to Vernon and the spell was lifted.
"I thought you weren't supposed to do magic on muggles?"Harry asked.
"These are special surcomstances."Reese replied.
They were going to the Burrow tommorow, so they got in bed early,Harry in a spare bedroom.He was wondering about what Reese had said, What special sucomstances?And then it came to him.Voldemort.Thoughts ran through his head.Was Mr.Hawkins there for his protection?Like a personal body guard? Harry only knew one thing-he had to talk to Sirius.
