The Unlucky Day
Harry woke up to Aunt Petunia's Scream. "Harry, get down
here NOW"
"Coming" said Harry very annoyed at being woken up so
early.
He got into his clothes that were now at least 12 times
bigger than him.
"I bet Hagrid couldn't fit into these." Harry complained
to himself.
He walked down to the kitchen where aunt petunia was
standing very scared against the overlarge fridge.
"H-ha-r-ry could you kill the spider in the sink please."
Said aunt petunia in a very soft but scared voice. The spider was the size of a dinner plate, it was black all over
like the one he saw in his second year with Ron in the forbidden forest but
smaller. But Harry noticed a piece of
parchment on the spider, it said
Dear Harry,
I know this seems strange being delivered by a spider but
all the owls' are sick. This may come
as a shock to you but we have found your parents bodies.
There was a long pause before Harry continued to
read.
I have informed Mr and Mrs Weasley and I would like you to
stay with them for the rest of the holidays. I know it's only the second day of
the holidays, but Mr and Mrs Weasley will be coming to pick you up at 11:00am
with the Minister for Magic under my orders to sustain your Aunt and
Uncle. Mrs Weasley will explain to you
all about the incident. Please don't
tell your Aunt and Uncle about this.
Hope
to see you at Hogwarts

Harry couldn't believe what he had read, he more sad than
he had ever been in his life.
He walked back to his room still clutching the note in his
hand.
He landed himself on the bed. Just as he it the bed Hedwig came through the window with a
letter and a small parcel. He dumped
the letter and the ground and layed in his bed for what seemed like an hour
thinking about the parents he never had.
He finally opened the parcel and found a prefect badge, a
set of prefect robes and a set of passwords for some of the rooms in Hogwarts
which they weren't allowed in before.
He put the badge on his desk with the passwords.
He picked up the prefect robes which were a deep red,
inside on of the pockets though said he could only were the formal meetings,
disasters and formal occasions.
Harry then opened the letter, which was about being a
prefect. It said that you can only take
200 points from each house for the year, about the compartments on the train
and fellow 5th year prefects.

Harry finished reading the letter. He put it with the rest
of the prefect things.
Harry looked, at the clock it was 10:50
"Crap" Said Harry " I gotta get my stuff together"
He got his trunk out of the wardrobe; he put his robes on
over the top of him to see if they still fitted him, which did, he put them
into the trunk along with his caldron, Quidditch Robes, Prefect stuff,
parchment and quills, sneakoscope, his broomstick servicing kit, the photo
album that Hagrid gave him in his first year and put his firebolt on top.
Harry went down stairs to find that Uncle Vernon and
Dudley were home from shopping. Aunt
Petunia told Vernon about the spider and Dudley was complaining to his mother
at the same time that they had to walk from the shopping centre because the car
broke -----------, there was a knock at the door. Harry looked at the clock in the living room, it was 11:00.
"I forgot they were coming," said Harry very sadly still
about the news he read in the morning.
Vernon answered he door with a horrid look on his
face. "What are you doing here?" said
Uncle Vernon dumbstruck.
"We have come to take Harry," said Arthur "You will do
nothing of the sort!" yelled Vernon at Arthur.
"Very well then, Minister"
Cornelius walked to the Dursley's door and said " I
believe we haven't been introduced I am Cornelius Fudge, Minister for
Magic. Now I have to do something… 'Stillre'.
The Dursley's had froze.
Harry, Fred and George went to Harry's room to get his
trunk, broomstick Hedwig and her cage.
"Harry" said George "I'm really sorry about your parents
you know what you heard about this morning."
"Yeah so am I" said Fred agreeing with George.
"Thankyou, but I thought when Vol sorry you know who
killed them they just disappeared, because I've seen the Avada Kedavra curse
been done twice now
"That's what we thought and everyone else in the Wizardry
world thought as well." Said Fred tripping down the bottom step.
"So your telling me this was in the Daily Prophet?"
"Well… yeah, it wouldn't have been if that stupid Rita
Skeeter woman had written it." Said George.
"Great. Tell me why they haven't sacked her yet?" said
Harry.
Harry felt even worse than before. Rita Skeeter had
written an article about his parent's bodies being found basically before he
even knew.
A tear ran down his face but luckily Fred or George didn't
see.
"Fred, did Rita change the story much?"
"What does she usually do?"
"Ok then that was a pretty dumb question." said Harry.
"What have you done with 1000 galleons?" asked Harry
"You'll se when we get there, oh and… um we still have
quite a far amount of money left."
They reached the front door trying not to hit any of the
Dursley's, which was kind of hard with Dudley, which was now fatter than he was
before.
"Ready to go" said the Minister
"Sure am," answered Harry
"Ok then here we go… 'Agnifo Rigato' and then the
Dursley's unfroze, but Dudley fell on the floor making a loud thump that
sounded something like a herd of elephants.
"Goodbye" said Harry getting into the Ministry car
