Welcome to another edition of Harry Potter and the Wizard of Oz. I felt that there were enough of you wanting this one continued so I went ahead with it and sent this one and all further ones to my wonderful beta Tajuki, who's written much better fanfic than any of mine, so I suggest when you finish this that you go read some of hers.



Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or The Wizard of Oz. I'm just a poor highschool student, bored out of my mind.





"Mr. Vernon." Mrs. Figg said in her unmistakable, high, and squeaky voice

"Good day, Mrs. Figg." Replied Uncle Vernon in a less than friendly tone.

"I want to see you and your wife right away, about Harry."

"Harry? Well, what has Harry done?"

"What's he done? I'm all but lame from the peck on my leg!"

"You mean he pecked you?" Said Vernon dumbfounded at how this was possible.

"No, his owl!" Mrs. Figg said losing her temper.

"Oh, he bit his owl, eh?" He said, in a shocked tone.

"No!"She said sternly. "That owl's a menace to the community. I'm taking her to the Sheriff and make sure she's destroyed."

"Destroyed? Hedwig? Oh, you can't! You mustn't! Auntie Petunia! Uncle Vernon! You won't let her, will you?" Harry said noting Mrs. Figg's arrival.

"Of course, we won't. Will we 'Tunia?" Vernon said worrying about what she would say.

"Oh, please, Aunt Petunia, Hedwig didn't mean to. She didn't know she was doing anything wrong.
I'm the one that ought to be punished. I let her go in her garden. You can send me to bed without supper -"

"If you don't hand over that owl, I'll bring a damage suit that'll take you for everything you've got! There's a law protecting folks against owls that peck!" Replied Mrs. Figg interrupting an over excited Harry.

"How would it be if he keeps her caged up? She's really gentle - with gentle people that is." Petunia said, saying the last part with more emotion that necessary to get her point across.

"Well, that's for the Sheriff to decide. Here's his order allowing me to take her. Unless you want to go against the law."Figg said finally losing all the dignity she usually possessed.

"Uh - yes -" Vernon said, looking over the legal form that had been handed to him, unsure of what there was he could do.

"Now, we can't go against the law, Harry. I'm afraid poor Hedwig will have to go." said a sallow faced Petunia, reading over Vernons' shoulder.

"Now you're seeing reason."

"No -" Said Harry in tears.

"Here's what I'm taking her in - so she can't attack me again." Said Figg holding out a wicker picnic basket with a locking clasp.

"No, no, no! I won't let you take her! You go away! Ooooh, I'll peck you myself!" Harry replied to the old bag before him, holding Hedwig in a protective manner.

"Harry!" Said the two Dursleys in unison.

"Oh, you wicked old witch! Uncle Vernon, Auntie Petunia, don't let 'em take Hedwig!
Don't let her take her - please!" Harry said making out a final plea.

"I've got an order! Let me have her!"

"Stop her!" replied Harry looking frantically for an escape route.

"Put her in the basket, Vernon."

"Don't, Uncle Vernon. Oh, Hedwig!"

"Arabella Figg, just because you own half the block doesn't mean you have the power to run the rest of us!" Mrs. Dursley started in on Figg. "For twenty-three years I've been dying to tell you what I thought of you! And now - well, being a Christian woman, I can't say it!"



Harry sat with on his bed rocking back and forth crying. Something soft landed on his shoulder. "Oh Hedwig that mean old witch took you away. I'll never be able to see you again...wait a second! You are Hedwig! Hedwig, darling! Oh, I've got you back! You came back! Oh, I'm so glad! Hedwig. Oh, they'll be coming back for you in a minute. We've got to get away! We've got to run away."



Aww...I know this chapter wasn't as happy or funny as the first but it wasn't meant to be. Poor dear Harry. Well tune in next time for professors, cyclones, and if you people leave me really nice reviews...we might even get some "Are you a good witch or a bad witch" action as well. It's up to you so please review. Ah I'm a poet and didn't even know it...well I kind of did but that's beside the point...I'll stop rambling now but if you don't review I'll be forced to continue! You've been warned!
