A/N With the release of my new story, "Big Bro 2:The Remake", I'm writing THREE stories at the same time! Anyway, you asked for longer chapters, you got them! It's the trial at last, plus, the return of Dobby and Winky! I'd also like to make a sequel to this when I've finished, so PLEASE r&r!!!!
(PREVIOUSLY) Another rude question, he thought. Maybe it was best left unanswered.
CHAPTER FIVE
The Wizards of the Sceptre Stone
There was a sharp knock on the door. Harry sat up immediately. He put his glasses on and grabbed his wand. He walked to the door and opened it quickly, his wand held in front of him.
"George!" Harry exclaimed, " It's seven-thirty in the morning! I thought you were Voldemort back from the dead!"
Harry had killed Voldemort in his seventh year in one final battle. The Green Flame Torch was a very powerful, magical item, which had the power to turn evil into good. The goodness implanted in Voldemort by the torch was too much, and it killed him on the spot. The Death Eaters disbanded once again and had never been seen to cause trouble since.
"Sorry! But we've got to get up now! We've got to get ready, then catch the Hogwarts Express to Hogsmeade for Dad's trial!" George replied, flinching at the sound of Voldemort's name.
"The trial's in Hogsmeade?"
"Yeah! The court in Diagon Alley got destroyed five years ago by You-Know-Who."
Harry was already getting changed into his Muggle clothes and stuffing his robes into his trunk. I'll get changed on the train, he thought.
" I knew you'd leave it until the last minute to pack," George said, as Harry frantically looked for his jeans, "It didn't take a Seer to tell that either!"
Harry laughed, despite the fact his jeans were filthy.
"Quikcleanse." Harry muttered, pointing his wand at his jeans. Suddenly, they looked as good as new. Harry pulled them on and said to George-
" Let's go to breakfast. I'm starving!" He suddenly gasped. "Oh, no! Tom won't be up yet!"
" Not a problem! I paid Tom extra to get a house-elf to make our breakfast early."
As they went downstairs, something hit Harry hard in the stomach.
"Dobby!" Harry wheezed, "W-What are you doing here?"
"Winky and me is told by Tom Boss to serve Harry Potter and his Weathertree early. We got summer job here!"
"Winky's here?" Harry asked.
"Yes, Harry Potter, I is here!" Winky's voice replied, "What does Harry Potter and his Weathertree want?"
"My what?" Harry asked, puzzled. Then he realized. "Oh, you mean George?"
Dobby and Winky had described Ron as Harry's Wheezy in the same fashion when Harry was in his fourth year at Hogwarts.
"I'd like egg and bacon please, Winky." George answered.
"Eh? Oh, yeah. Me, too." Harry answered.
While they were eating, an owl flew through the open window and dropped a letter onto Harry's lap. He opened it. It read-
Dear Mr. Potter,
We would like to invite you to attend the Sceptre Stone Court on 27TH August 2000 to receive:
Order of Merlin, First Class.
Deed to be rewarded: The defeat of Voldemort and escape from Voldemort upon seven accounts (At birth, The Philosopher's Stone, The Chamber of Secrets, The Second Rise of Voldemort, The Order of the Pheonix, The Attack on Hogwarts and The Death of Voldemort)
You will be the first to receive the Order of Merlin from the new Minister For Magic, as the elections are on 25TH August.
You would have received it earlier, but you only became of age on 31ST July 2000.
Yours Truly,
Charles Weasley OOM2ndC(Labour)
Cornelius Fudge MFM (Conservatives)
Remus Lupin (Liberal Democrats)
"The MFM Parties are the same as the Muggle Parties." Harry observed.
"Oh, yeah! They wanted it to be the Hogwarts house names at first but Dumbledore suggested that it would be less conspicuous if a Muggle came across a campaign poster if it was the same as the Muggle parties." George told him.
"Makes sense. Better get going. See you Dobby! And you Winky!", Harry said.
Harry stopped suddenly. Winky was curled up in the corner, crying. Harry left with George wondering what was wrong with Winky.
