Chapter 4: The truth

They started to eat breakfast. It was a Sunday morning and it was august 25th. In 6 days, Harry would leave for school. Although he always enjoyed leaving the dursley's for the year, he didn't want to cause of Avalon. "So Avalon. what school are you going to go to?" uncle Vernon asked suddenly. Milton high." Avalon replied. "Milton high huh? Harry. only if you were normal, but you have to go to St. brunet's." uncle Vernon explained. Harry didn't say anything. After a second of silence, the phone rang. Harry slowly got up and answered it. "Hello?" Harry asked casually. "Harry?! Is that you?! Harry?!" a familiar voice shouted. Harry put his hand over to speaker and walked over to the kitchen. "Ron! Don't talk to loud! Talk like I'm right next to you!" Harry explained. "Oh. ok. Sorry bout that." Ron said, as he instantly got quieter. "So. what have you been doing all summer? Get my present?" Ron asked.

"Yeah. yeah I did. can't wait to see ya!" Harry replied. "Didn't you see me in the ball?" Ron asked. "Yeah! But in real life!" Harry made a comeback. "Oh. I can't believe malfoy. he was petrified when Fred took his picture! I so wonder who the angel person is. don't you?" Ron asked. "Yeah." Harry replied trying not to laugh. "Well. when do you want us to pick you up? So you can stay here?" Ron suddenly asked. "I dunno. I've met someone." Harry explained. "What?" Ron asked loudly. "Yeah. her names Avalon. She is great Ron. and she has no where to stay." Harry explained as he turned to look at Avalon eating some eggs. "Is she a muggle?" Ron asked. "Yeah. but she believes in magic. She wishes she had it. What if she does have some in her." Harry realized. "Wouldn't she be excepted to hogwarts? As in getting a permission slip thing?" Ron decided to ask.

"I dunno. she travels a lot. Well did. before her parents got murdered. but her aunt just kicked her out last night. but we had so much fun. we went to the market about 5 times this week already. I really want her to meet ya. But she thinks you, hermionie, and me go to St. Brunet's. I couldn't tell her that I go to hogwarts, a school for witchcraft and wizardry. she'd flip. And that was before I knew she believed in it. and now, if I tell her, she'll hate me cause I lied." Harry explained slouching on a chair. "Well. you have to tell her. Wait a minute." Ron said. Harry could hear in the background Ron talking to his mom. Then he came back on. "Harry? My mom said hermionie wanted to know if you and me could stay at her house. Maybe Avalon could come too. She and hermionie would probably get along great." Ron suggested.

"Hey. maybe." Harry replied smiling. "I'll call you later k Ron? I gotta go eat." Harry explained. "Sure." Ron replied. Harry hung up the phone and made his way back to the table. "Took long enough?" uncle Vernon grunted. "Yeah. it was Ron. Hermionie was wonderin if me and Ron could stay at her house for the weekend before we go back to school. and hermionie was wondering if you would want to come." Harry said looking at Avalon. "I'd love too." Avalon replied smiling. "Sure, when can they pick you up, and how long till your gone? They have to hurry. and no funny business when they pick you up." Vernon hissed. "Nope. going the normal way. a car." Harry replied. "Come on." Harry said as he motioned for Avalon to follow him upstairs to his room. Avalon followed him. "So. I can come with you? Will they let me?" Avalon asked sitting on a bed. "Yeah. they will. but. I have to tell you something Avalon. and please don't hate me." Harry pleaded. "Harry. what is it?" Avalon asked. "I'm. I'm. I lied to you Avalon. I don't go to St. brunet's, neither do my friends." Harry replied. "You lied? There must have been a reason for it. right?" Avalon asked. "Right! There is a PERFECT reason. see. remember when you started to talk about magic? well. I'm a wizard; I go to hogwarts, school for witchcraft and wizardry. I know it sounds ridiculous. but. it's true. And, me and my friend Ron were driving the car 3 years ago.and my friends are magical too.. Hermionie is a witch, and Ron is a wizard. and I'm sorry I lied, but I thought you'd hate me if I told you I'm a wizard, then I think you'll hate me now for lying to you." Harry explained.

"Harry. I understand why you would lie. I'm glad you told the truth. And. this is so cool! I so wish I could come.." Avalon said. "See. I want to see if you can! You have the potential. maybe you are one. and we don't know it. I'm going to ask Ron's dad. he's apart of the ministry of magic, sorda like congress. and. he'll know what to do." Harry explained. Avalon smiled. "Finally something exciting is happening!" she explained getting up and hugging Harry.
