Harry Potter and The Mystery Of Hogwarts

Chapter 1: The first and last day.

Harry Potter woke to the sun slowly creeping through his bedroom. By just looking at him nobody would suspect he was different from the people he was living with at the moment. But he was. Harry Potter was a wizard. His parents (who were wizards) were murdered by a dark wizard called Voldemort when Harry was very young. However when Voldemort turned on Harry the curse re-bounded and all of Voldemorts powers were drained. Even though Voldemort was defeated, people still feared that his powers would return and are still even scared of the name. As he turned over, Harry's first thoughts swam into his head. 'I'm not surprised people are scared of Voldemort now he's returned to power- I hope Sirius is alright' Indeed, the most feared wizard had returned, Harry had witnessed it happening, And now, every wizard (except Albus Dumbledore) was scared of confronting the dark wizard. The picture of Cedric Diggory moved into Harry's thoughts. Harry was furious with himself. "Now listen," He said quietly trying hard not to wake the Dursleys "You weren't responsible for his death, you couldn't have stopped Voldemort from killing him" Harry was living with his Aunt and Uncle. They were what wizards called 'Muggles' which meant they shouldn't know anything about the wizard world unless they have relative's who have the power. But Petunia and Vernon Dursley, and their son Dudley were the most UN- magic as you could get and tried to squash the magic out of Harry. Although it was the first day of the summer holidays from his School called Hogwarts Harry hoped he was going to leave on that day.
Ron Weasley was his best friend at Hogwarts, along with Hermoine Granger. Hopefully the Weasley family (who always seemed to like him) would come and rescue him from the Dursleys. Harry thought of writing to Sirius but then decided not to, as it could distract him from his work.
Sirius Black was Harry's godfather. He was also a misunderstood escaped convict. Because his parents were gone, Harry thought of Sirius as a true father. There was a cough from the bedroom near Harry's, Uncle Vernon had woken, and he couldn't blame it on Harry for once. Hedwig, Harry's owl fluttered down on to his knee, Harry stroked it a few times and then said "I've got a job for you" he got up and went over to the table in his bedroom and pulled out his eagle-feathered quill. After writing a letter to Hermoine Harry shoved the parchment of Hermoine's letter into a little pouch attached to Hedwig, then opened the window, so she could fly out.
An hour later Harry was eating one fried egg off a plate "We'll save those for Dudley" The Dursleys had tried always starve him. Perhaps because they were jealous of his power- they had totally given up on Dudley's diet and knew he was likely to die at the age of 25. There was a knock on the door. Aunt Petunia opened the door, a man was standing in the porch, Harry could tell it was Arthur Weasley, Rons dad.
"Um, hello I'm from the ocarisist society to help the blind. Have you got any money that you would like to donate?" Aunt Petunia dashed off to get her purse, and Harry dashed up to the door. Mr. Weasley spoke "Hi, Harry- quick get your stuff and get in the car before your Aunt gets back. Harry tore across the lawn, and into the car.
"Alright, Harry?" Came a familiar voice. Fred and George were the twins in the Weasley family and they were very mischievous. Ron was with them.
"Hi, Harry quick exit this time, huh?" Ron was grinning.
"Yeah, could have been earlier, though," Harry smiled back. The smile had gone off Rons face. "It was a joke Ron"
"Oh, I um.. I knew that!" Arthur Weasley was back. He had two pounds clutched in a little bag and for once, Harry was amazed to see that Mr. Weasley didn't stare at the money thinking it was brilliant. "Right, let's go" The Black car shot off at high speed and Harry looked behind. He could see the Dursleys looking furious and waving their fists. Harry grinned again. That was his first, and last day at the Dursleys.

Chapter 2: Shock at the Burrow

As the car pulled into the Weasleys house which they called the burrow the first thing Harry saw was Mrs. Weasley standing at the doorway. She gave Harry a big hug when he got out of the car.
"Oh, it is nice to see you again" She said, almost as though she was proud of it.
"Come on, let's go to my room" Said Ron. Harry had got used to the Weasley's house and now he wasn't bothered about the clanking ghoul in the attic or the mirror that spoke. Harry followed Ron up to his room, it took a while, as the house had 3 floors, and Ron's was on the top. They had to go up three winding staircases- but at last they reached Ron's room which was on the very top floor of the Weasley's house. They came to a door with a crooked sign that said 'Ronalds Room'. Harry pushed the door open. The room was in its usual mess, which always seemed to be there. On the bed was Ginny- Rons youngest and only sister playing a game of gobstones with...
"Hermoine!" Harry grinned at one of his best friends at school "I didn't know you were here!" Hermoine smiled back at Harry.
"Yes, Ron invited me here yesterday, I've only just arrived it's good to see you again."
"Yeah, right" said Ron quickly "Do you want to go and play Quidditch you lot?" Harry felt as if he really wanted to so he said "yes" almost too quickly. Hermoine looked scared
"Umm well"
"Oh, come on" said Ron "you can go on my broom- it only gets to 2 miles per hour" "Oh, well Ok" said Hermoine still looking fearful "but I'm flying low Ok?"
"It's fine with us" replied Harry. 15 minutes later the three of them plus Fred and George were up at a paddock the Weasleys owned showing Hermoine how to fly. They had finally got her in the air. Ron gave a whoop "yay! See Hermoine, you can do it!" After about two hours the group made their way back down the hill and into the Weasleys house, talking loudly, but then stopped as they saw Mr. Weasley talking to Albus Dumbledore- the head of Hogwarts. "Ok, then, thanks for telling us then" Mr. Weasley was saying. Dumbledore turned to Harry, Fred, George, Ron and Hermoine. "Oh, hello- and goodbye" he said as he walked out.
"Um, sir?" said Harry quickly "can I have a word with you out-side please?"
"Of course!" replied Dumbledore brightly; Harry walked out of the door with him.
"Do you think I can write to Sirius?" Harry asked as soon as they were outside "Because I knew you sent him on that mission"
"Oh, that!" Said Dumbledore "Oh, I'm afraid you can't, as it may put him off."
"Yes, I know," said Harry "That's why I didn't write to him before, what's he doing?" Dumbledore looked down at his robes, and then back at Harry.
"I have sent Sirius to collect all of the great wizards to build an alliance against Voldemort, so that he can't turn back to ultimate power. I myself am going into the 'Power', so Professor McGonogall will be left as Head Mistress, Anyway, I think you will be seeing a lot more of Sirius this year." Harry bid goodbye to Dumbledore and sat down at the table in the Weasley's house, thinking how he could see more of Sirius. "What was Dumbledore here for?" Ron asked, frowning.
"Well he was here to say why Ginny can't go to Hogwarts this term." Ron and Harry's mouths dropped open. "Why?"
"Well, every body in the 1st to 4th year isn't allowed because they are vulnerable to you know who, did you know he's killed 5000 people already?" Everyone shivered.

Chapter: 3 Home at Last

Harry had an enjoyable holiday at The Burrow and two weeks before the start of term letters from Hogwarts arrived at the table. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Fred and George sat in silence as they read their letters. It said the same things as last term, except the book list.
Standard Book of Spells 5
Transfiguration for Intermediates
The Ultimate guide to the Dark Arts
I am Voldemort
A Charming Book
The History of it all
Taming untamable creatures
Dictionary of Magic
A Future
They each peered over at each other's lists. "Wow, I'm a prefect!" Exclaimed Hermoione with pride "I wonder who the new defence against the dark arts teacher is going to be?" she didn't go on, seeing the look on Ginny's face. The two weeks passed rapidly, and finally, Harry was packing his things inside his trunk and preparing himself for the Hogwarts express. It seemed that everyone had got the 'End of the Holidays' Mood around them. Seeing that Hedwig was safely shut in her cage Harry made his way down the 3 sets of stairs and into the lounge.
"Ah, there you are Harry, dear" Said Mrs. Weasley "Right, are we all ready? After you Arthur!" Mr. Weasley took a pinch of powder and shouted "Platform nine and three quarters!" threw the powder into the fire, and was gone. "You next, Harry" Said Mrs. Weasley sweetly. Harry took a pinch of the powder (Which just happened to be floo powder) it felt very much like sand. He walked over to the Weasley's fire, threw the powder in. And bellowed "Platform nine and three quarters!" and suddenly he was rushing through a tunnel of darkness, which was twisting and turning. Harry started to feel sick, just as he thought this he landed his knees on a cold, concrete slab inside what looked like a waiting house.
Mr. Weasley was standing near the fireplace and helped Harry to his feet. After 20 seconds Ron, covered in soot appeared out of nowhere, and luckily landed right on his feet. After all the Weasleys were there they made their way to Platform nine and three quarters. Mrs. Weasley kissed them all goodbye, including Harry and Hermione, and waved as the train set off.
"Oh, I'd better go to the prefects cabin" Said Hermoine.
"Getting stuck in already, are we?" Asked Ron in a mocking tone.
"Bye"
"Bye" Ron and Harry made their way down the train, from cabin to cabin and finally found one that was empty. No sooner had they sat down another person came through the compartment door- it was Draco Malfoy. "Oh hello, P-." "Shut up, and go away" Said Harry quickly "so-" "shut up and go away" This time Ron said it. "No yo-" "GOODBYE" Both Ron and Harry shoved Draco through the compartment door again. "That's that settled" said Harry quietly. Ron however was looking outside the window.
"Look, there's an owl!" Harry quickly opened the window and a large Tawny owl swept into the cabin and landed on Harry's lap. Harry took a letter from the owl and it swooped back out of the window hooting happily- Hedwig rose an eyebrow. Harry tore open the letter and read it out to Ron

Dear Harry
Good news! My name has been cleared! Dumbledore caught Wormtail and I was voted innocent. I hope you are well and not thinking too much about Voldemort. I'm sorry for not writing on your birthday- I was busy at the courts- yes I know it still doesn't make it right, but anyway I've enclosed your birthday present in the envelope that's attached to the letter. This summer you should be able to live with me! I've got a place near Hogsmede- but anyway you'll be seeing me a lot this term so you won't miss me too much. Sorry again for your birthday.
Love,

Padfoot

"What does he mean you'll see a lot of me this term?" asked Ron. "I don't know" Said Harry "Dumbledore said that too, it's weird" Harry opened the envelope, inside was a tiny, black shirt button. With it was another note 'Padfoot Rules- enjoy'. They stared at the button, and Harry muttered: "Padfoot rules" A huge blue screen appeared with a map of the Hogwarts Express "Whoa!" Exclaimed Harry "It gives a map of where you are at the moment!" They sat talking for the rest of the journey with occasional visits from Seamus Finnigan, Neville Longbottom and Dean Thomas. Suddenly a man's voice wafted down each cabin "We will arrive at Hogsmeade station in 10 minutes time" Harry and Ron quickly got into their Wizards robes. The train began to slow.
