Authors Note: All Characters, not including some, have been taken from the very talented author, who created the Harry Potter books, J. K. Rowling. Also, just to let you know, this is my very own version of the 5th Harry Potter book, which still hasn't been released.

Harry Potter

And the Galaxy Ball

It started of as a normal summer, after the end of Harry's 4th year at Hogwarts; he couldn't wait to go back for his 5th year. He wished he could have stayed with his best friend, Ron. If only his plump uncle would let him use the telephone, he would phone Ron. Well, Harry began to plan, a plan so good that it would get him out of his uncle and aunts house.  It wouldn't be so easy, it would look kind of obvious if Harry packed his bags one day and got in to Ron's car a drove off one.  But Harry wasn't as stupid as that.

"Uncle Vernon, do you like me?"

"NO"

"Do you wish I was out of your house this summer?"

"If only there was a house on England that would want to accept a dirty little scumbag like you into there homes then it would be marvelous, but somehow I don't think that will ever happen. Now if you don't mind I am trying to read my Sunday paper, and now I have a headache. All thanks to you, you little weasel!" Vernon said with a grumpy voice.

He stood up and started to walk to the bathroom, he was looking for an aspirin.

"Well if you don't want me in your house, I can leave, I know someone that will accept me into there home!! So what do you say Uncle Vernon?" Harry gasped with excitement hoping that Uncle Vernon would actually say yes. Uncle Vernon suddenly stopped on his route to the bathroom.

"Are you having a laugh? Do you, Harry Potter, really think anyone would really want you? The little brat that caused his parents death. I don't think so. Who did you have in mind?"

"Well, the Weaslys, my friend Ron also goes to Hogwarts!"

"You really do make me laugh sometimes, first you tell me someone wants to take you in to there home for the summer, then you tell me you have friends, well Harry you should become a comedian. Now when would they be able to pick you up?"

"So I can go then?"

"NO! I'm not ready to ruin some family by placing you in it!"

Suddenly there was a sound of thunder; it was almost like an avalanche. Almost in seconds, Dudley appeared standing at the door.

"Did I hear you talking about Harry leaving? I think it's a GREAT idea, what do you say dad?"

"I think it is very inappropriate!"

"You see Uncle Vernon, do you want your son to be happy? Well it would make him the happiest boy in the world, if you let me stay at my friends for the rest of the summer!" Harry tried to negotiate.

"Well that and a lifetime supply of sweets!" Dudley added.

Harry stared at Dudley, then carried on talking.

"Come on, Uncle Vernon, please, even Dudley thinks it's a good idea, you wont get any more headaches!"

"Well, I do want what's best for my family… Oh alright, can you be gone by tonight?"

"If its ok with you? But I need to phone Ron to make sure! Don't get your hopes up!"

"Fine I will call the Wasles…"

"Weaslys!"

"Yes whatever… anyway I will call them, while you pack, Dudley go inform your mother, tonight we will want a fabulous dinner, that is if Harry does actually leave!!"

"Yes Dad"

Before you could say Hogwarts, Harry was up in his room packing his bag, with the things he would be needing for school and for spending his holidays in! Harry was so excited, he would finally get to spend a whole month with his favorite family. Well, that's not including his real family. But it was as close as he could get.

"Well Harry, they are glad to accept you, I don't know why. I mean you're the worst kind of child, if that's what I can call you." Groaned Uncle Vernon.

He hated it when Harry got what he wanted, that and Harry himself.

"Well boy, they will be arriving in a couple of hours or so. After that this family will be in peace for at least a year. I mean you wont want to come back for Christmas will you? No, I didn't think so. That school is obviously doing a good thing. Don't tell anyone, I hate that school, wizards and witches, it's a load of gibberish."

"DAD, COME ON, I WANT SOME CHOCOLATE!!!!" Dudley shouted from downstairs.

"Oh that Dudley can be a handful sometimes" Vernon explained whilst smiling at Harry.

Harry wasn't sure if Uncle Vernon was joking with him, or actually being serious. Uncle Vernon was just leaving Harry's bedroom, when Harry interrupted.

"Uncle Vernon, I know you may not think I'm the nicest little boy, but I just want to thank you for taking care of me!" Harry smiled

"Your welcome Harry, but tell anyone about this little conversation. You never know what might happen to me, for all I know Dudley might come up with a way to make me go mental!" Uncle Vernon gave Harry a smile and walked out the room. You could hear Dudley talking to his dad with a load voice.

"Dad why were you up there so long with Harry?"

"I was just telling the stupid mutt, how happy we will be when goes tonight!"

Harry laughed, it was strange having Uncle Vernon be nice. He never actually expected something like that to happen. It's the sort of thing that is done by magic. Then it suddenly clicked in Harry's mind. Someone must have done a spell on Uncle Vernon; I mean it was a bit odd, you know, Uncle Vernon would never be nice to Harry, not even in a million years. Something very odd was going on. Just when Harry started to think more deeply, he heard the Weaslys voices coming up the drive. Harry ran downstairs.

"Bye, I'm going now, have a great summer!"

"And a bad one to you!" Shouted Dudley, who was sitting in the kitchen, probably stuffing his face with chocolate. Harry slammed the door and ran to Ron. Ron was so happy to see Harry, and Harry was finally happy to be on his summer holidays. They got in the car and left Private Drive. It would be a while till Harry actually returned to Private Drive, that's is if he did return, for all he knew, the Weaslys would adopt Harry. Well that's what he wished.

Harry and the Weaslys soon arrived at what Harry would be calling home, for the next month. It was late, and Ron and Harry were ordered to go to bed, although they weren't tired, due to all the excitement. Harry was on a small pull out sofa bed, which Mrs. Weasly had arranged earlier. As they were lying in bed, Harry asked:

"Ron has anything weird been said in the Daily Prophet lately?"

"Don't know Harry, have a look, there's the latest one on the floor, over there!" Ron said, pointing over to the corner of the room.

"Thanks!"

"Just out of curiosity, why do you want to know?"

"Well, I don't get the Prophet, so I was just wanting to know what's going on in the Wizard world."

"Oh, ok then! You would tell me if something was wrong wouldn't you?"

"Yeh, of course. You are the first person I would tell…. if I could reach you."

"BOYS, LIGHTS OUT. ITS LATE, TOMORROW I THOUGHT WE COULD GO TO DIAGON ALLEY!" Shouted Mrs. Weasly from her bedroom.

"Well we better get to sleep, if we have plans for tomorrow!" Suggested Harry.

"Ok, wake me up, if you wake up first!"

And that was it, Harry soon fell into a deep sleep, dreaming about happy things.

"Harry, Harry?"

"Whhhaaaattt?" Harry said, he had just woken up.

It was still dark, and no body was awake.

"Harry, I can't sleep, I had this horrible dream. I was walking around school, but it was a bit different, there was this new teacher. I cant remember his name but…"

Suddenly the door opened, Mr. Weasly came in.

"Boys what are you doing up already, its 6 in the morning, look if you want you can go watch television feel free, but I suggest you go back to sleep."

"Ok, thanks Dad! I was just telling Harry about something."

"Ok well, don't talk to loud, you don't want to wake your brothers and sister. Or your mother, you know what she's like when she hasn't slept.  Well, I will be downstairs, come down if you need anything!"

"Ok, will do Mr. Weasly, bye!

And he left the room, you could hear him walking down the stairs.

"So, what do you want to do now? I mean I wont be able to go back to sleep, now that you woke me up."

"I'm sorry Harry, its just that teacher in my dream, really scared me. He had only one eye, and he looked really evil, he tried to kidnap us, but then some girl, I think she was about our age, she came and saved us."

"Was it Hermione?"

"No, Hermione was with us, being kidnapped." Ron explained.

"Ok, well its going to be getting light soon, shall we get up?"

"Yeh, might as well. Hey, maybe we could phone Hermione, and ask her to come to Diagon Alley with us?"

"Yeh, that's a good idea, but I don't think she will be awake at this time, you know girls!"

So the two boys washed themselves and got dressed, they went downstairs and had some breakfast. After that they began to watch the television. Although Mr. Weasly was watching the news, the boys still seemed interested. Time passed, and soon the whole house was awake.
