Harry Potter sat on his bed in the middle of the night finishing up some potions homework. The new year at Hogwarts would be starting soon, and he couldn't wait. The Dursleys had been horrible like always, but decided to add way more chores this summer because of Fred and Georges prank last year. Dudley refused to talk to him because of the prank that he refused to open his mouth because of the thought of another four foot long tongue.
After he finished up the final inch of the two foot long essay on healing potions, he put it away and got ready for his favorite part of the night, wandless magic. It wasn't a school assignment, but he read in a history book about Merlin and the Founders being able to do wandless magic. After that he had tried to do it and to his surprise it worked, but afterwards he gained a huge migraine and had to lay down for a while. After a while the head aches started to go away, and he could do all kinds of simple charms and transfiguration.
Harry walked over to his desk and pulled out a quill to practice on. He concentrated on it and then waved his hand over it and it stretched and grew to become a beautiful goblet. He then thought of adding butterbeer and soon the cup was filled with steaming hot butterbeer.
After that Harry decided that that was enough for the night and walked over to his bed. He dressed for bed then laid down and went to sleep as exhaustion over took him. He never even noticed a shadowy hand take his glasses off his face and put them on the table, as another shadow leaned down and kissed him on the forehead.
The shadowy figures stepped back and looked down upon the boy-who-lived and smiled.
"He's growing up to be a handsome young man just like his father." the one on the right said, voice very light, and obviously an woman.
"Same eyes as his mother, just as beautiful." said the one on the left, the man.
"good-bye Harry...for now" the woman whispered and together Lily and James Potter disappeared out of Number Four Private Drive.
(A/N I wasn't sure if I should leave it there but I changed my mind)
The next day Harry did all his chores then ran up to his room to write a letter to Sirius telling him how he was and asking about the wizarding world. He tied the letter to Hedwigs leg and let her fly of out the window.
"BOY!!! Get down hear!" came Uncle Vernon's voice from down stairs. Harry walked out the door and down the stairs into the kitchen. Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia were sitting at the table smiling evilly as he sat down across from them.
"You Potter are going to get a job. Since your living here you are going to start paying for your stay, food, and cloths. A man down the street owns a gym and said he is willing to have you work down there." Uncle Vernon's smile turned into a glare as he said the next words, "You will not by any means show him your abnormality or anything like that."
With that they dismissed him and he walked out to the back yard to think.
So they are making me get a job, huh? Well then at least I can buy proper cloths instead of Dudleys hand-me-downs. Hey wait a gym?! Maybe I can start working out, and be ready for Voldemort when I face up with him again. I can start studying with the wandless magic and fighting or dueling. That could work that way I can surprise him instead of letting him treat me like a child.
With that Harry turned and walked back inside to start practicing wandless magic.
The weeks passed with Harry going to his job everyday and learning to do martial arts, sword fighting, swimming, weight lifting, and other things like that. His body was starting to get into shape and was changing from the scrawny weak boy to a strong tan young man who could move very quickly and fight very well.
Soon the day came to head back to Hogwarts and Harry was very excited. He had his trunk packed and waited until his Uncle called him to go. He had actually convinced his uncle to take him on the condition that he didn't come home for breaks, which he never did anyway.
Harry arrived at Kings Cross station a half hour before the train left. He looked around and soon spotted the bright bunch of red hair that singled out the Weasleys. He walked over to them and tapped Ron on the shoulder.
"Wha- Oh my gosh Harry! Man your catching up to me! Look at those muscles, have you been working out?" Ron asked in one breath.
"Yep I'm finally getting taller and yes I was working out at a gym over the summer after I got off work."
"You have a job?" Ron asked surprised.
"Yep, my Uncle made me get it, but after a while it wasn't so bad" Harry replied looking around for Hermione.
"Oh my gosh Harry, Ron!" they both turned to look as a young girl walked toward them. She was very pretty with long silky, curly brown hair. She wore a short black skirt and a blue and black top, which brought out her chocolate brown eyes. All together she was very pretty.
Hermione walked towards them and they both just stood there and watched her come.Harry looked at her in amazement while Ron looked at her in awe.
"Hermione you look great!" Harry said as she walked up to them.
She enveloped them in a hug and stood back to size them up.
"You look great too! Why do you have to keep growing taller Ron?"
Ron shrugged but still said nothing.
"Hey Hermione did you do something with your hair? it looks great!" Harry said as he took a strand of her waist length hair.
"Nope, it just started to thin out ya know? Anyway we should probably board the train since it will leave soon." Hermione replied
After they said good-bye to the Weasleys they boarded the train and walked to a compartment towards the front of the train. As they sat and watched people say good-bye to their families Harry noticed more people than usual on the platform. As Harry looked around his breath caught as he watched two girls, who looked his age head towards the train. One was very beautiful with long blond hair and blue green eyes that seemed to be magical. When she moved her hair seemed to glitter in the sunlight and made her look like an angel. What was weird about her was that fact that she had pointy ears on her pretty face.
The girl next to her was also pretty but not as beautiful as the blond. She had long black hair that was very unruly and enchanting green eyes. If Harry didn't know any better he would say she was his twin but that couldn't be because he was an only child.
Soon the train started to move and Ron, hermione, and Harry started to talk about the upcoming year. Just as they started to talk about Quidditch the compartment door slid open and the two girls Harry saw earlier walked in. Harry had to look away to stop himself from going red as the blond looked at him.
"Hello," she said in a soft voice, "I was wondering if we could join you? The other compartments are full."
"Yeah sure," Hermione said as they scooted over to make room. The to girls sat next to Hermione and waited until everyone is settled to speak again.
"My name is Aurora Newman." said the black haired girl. She shook their hands but her gaze lingered on Harry for a few seconds.
"Hello, my name is Fay Stone" said the blond.
"Fay, are you mixed with elf?" Hermione asked.
"Actually I'm a faerie." she replied
"Really?!" gasped Hermione
"Yes, I grew up in a village with elves but I don't think I'm part one." Fay said as she looked around, gaze also lingering on Harry who was watching her intently trying hard not to stare. From there they talked and played games with Fay and Aurora, who was quite talkative after a while. Soon the train arrived at Hogsmead station and packed into the horseless carriages(sp?) and headed up to Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. To some it was a school, but to Harry it was home.
