Chapter 3: Explaining
The rest of Harry's day was one of the best he'd ever had. At Diagon Alley Mrs. Figg could, suspiciously, go to Flourish and Blott's to, from what Harry could tell, Inform the Proprietor to order 1000 copies of "Things That Scare Even Me" by Erinlexi Goldwood. Then Mrs. Figg led them to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor for ice cream.
Walking into the parlor Harry noticed Florean Fortescue, the owner of the shop.
"Hi, Harry" said Mr. Fortescue, noticing Mrs. Figg, "How are you, Arabella, and old Perkins, too! Who's your furry friend?"
"How are you Florean, this is Snuffles", said Mrs. Figg, "My Dog Snuffles."
"OH!", said Mr. Fortescue, as though he remembered something, "And can I take your orders?"
"Cockroach Cluster Parfait," said Perkins, still clutching his backside, "He must still be in pain", Harry Thought.
"I'll take a... Oh, its so hard to choose," said Mrs. Figg, looking like a young girl, "I'll take the...the...the... How about the Swiss Alps Sundae?"
"You think you can handle it, Arabella?" said Florean, "Only two have ever finished the whole thing."
Florean Fortescue pointed at the large wooden wall behind him, and carved in the wall, read: "Samson-1846-age 38" and underneath that it said: "Reubus Hagrid-1942-age 13".
"Hagrid ate that at age 13!" said Harry, "Whoa!".
"Right after he'd been expelled, Dumbledore brought him here to cheer him up, I was his age, and My father ran the shop, so depressed, he ate the whole thing in under 20 minutes," said Florean gloomily, "I never thought Hagrid did what they said He did."
"He didn't do it, it was all a mistake," said Harry, "I found out who did it, It was Vol- i mean You-Know-Who, anyway I'll take a Dragon-size Butterbeer Float."
"Coming right up!" said Fortescue.
Mrs. Figg led them into a private Parlor with there Ice Creams.
When situated in the Parlor they began to eat there Ice Creams, everything was silent until Mrs. Figg spoke.
"Harry, I dont exactly know where to start, so I'll start with me, My name is not Arabella Figg, It is Arabella Dumbledore, but you are never to call me that, it's either Mrs. Figg or Arabella, My father called me his daughter in the public, I don't know why, He is a bit of an Idiot, Not entirely sure he can read."
"Why can't anyone call you Dumbledore?" asked Harry.
"One, I'm married to Perkins, who's last name is Figg, but i can't use Dumbledore, I'll talk about that, later," explained Arabella, "Me, Sirius, Mundungus Fletcher, Perkins, Remus, Dumbledore, well Dumbledore heads it, and other people, like Florean over there, are part of a secret organization, called "The Order of the Pheonix", built to aide the Ministry in secret, without them knowing, to battle Voldemort. Voldemort knew of this Organization, but he only knew few of whom was involved with the orginization, Me, Perkins, Your Parents, and Dumbledore. We were all casted with The Fidelius Charm, Dumbledore our Secret Keeper,
Except for you Parent's, James and Lily, They first wanted Sirius, but Peter wanted the job, so Sirius gave the job up to Peter, and Peter told Voldemort, and caused there death." Sirius looked down at the floor, "I don't want to die, so I dont use the name Voldemort knew me as, If I did Voldemort would be able to find me, and he would kill me."
"Thats why my parents died?" said Harry, "Why wasn't I told sooner?"
"Harry, you were to young," said Arabella, "You were placed with the Charm, too. Dumbledore wouldn't let you go to the Weasley's, who are now in the Order, because Voldemort is stronger, and you would be too far away from me, I am your Secret-Keeper Harry. Me and Perkins have to disguise ourselves everywhere, I'm not an old woman, Harry, I'm as old as Sirius, We were in the same year at Hogwarts."
Then Arabella pointed her wand to her head, muttered an incantation, and she transformed into the beautiful young woman She was at her home.
"I think that's enough explained for right now," said Arabella, "Lets go get your supplies."
Harry didn't say it, but he wanted to know more. This information about his Parents was the only setback in his day. They went to Diagon Alley, First to Flourish and Blotts, his book list read:
Standard Book of Spells: Grade 5: by Miranda Goshawk
Things That Scare Even Me: by Erinlexi Goldwood
More History of Magic: by Bathilda Bagshot
Runes of The Old World: Dee Cipher
They got the Books, and then headed to the Apothecary, to get some new Potion ingredients, and a new Cauldron, Percy's cauldron report worked, They had standardized cauldron thickness, Harry's cauldron was a shade to thin. Mrs. Figg then went off with Sirius somewhere, and Harry went into Gambol & Japes, Wizarding Joke shop. It was slightly smaller than Zonko's, But seemed to carry more Items. He then saw a whole section of the store, and could hardly beleive his eyes. On the sign it read:
WEASLEY'S WIZARD WHEEZES
There seemed to be a hundred of Fred and George's product. Harry examined the item's names like Tear Gas Mints, Canary Creams, Ton-Tongue Toffee, Fake Wands, Sleeping Powder Juice mix, and other various Items.
"Brilliant, eh, Harry," said a Voice, "It's all because of you."
Harry spun around. It was Fred and George.
"Your mother knows about this?" Harry asked George.
"Yeah, but she disapproves, but this is our dream," said George.
"We still have half of the money you gave us too," said Fred, "They cost about 2 knuts to make, and we sell em' for a sickle for three of the sweets, one sickle for the fake wands and stuff like that, We expect to Double our money next week, We haven't sold everything yet, I think Zonko's is coming up for a huge order."
"George, Heres the money." said Gary Gambol, the Propietor, "Japes say's it's only 50 galleons, am I right?"
"Yeah", said George, "You should try some of this."
"Already did", said Gambol, "I gave some of the Sleeping Powder Pumpkin Juice to old Japes, guy never shuts up."
"I use it on Mum all the time, to great effect," said Fred, "Not too often though, all right, Warning on the box say's 'Only once a day to one person."
Fred, George, and Harry left the shop, and headed up Diagon Alley, and found Percy yelling in the Apothecary, about the cauldron bottoms.
"YOU DONT SELL THESE CAULDRONS, YOU SELL THESE, THESE ARE ILLEGAL, THESE ARENT!" yelled Percy.
The Propietor then cursed Percy, and Percy disapparated.
"What was that about?" asked Harry.
"People dont like the Idea of selling Percy's overpriced cauldrons, they want them cheap, like the thin, now illegal ones, that we used to have", said George. "Percy's been at it all week with these people."
"He's head of Department now, and I think Dad is going to quit his job at the Ministry and work full-time for Dumbledore," said Fred, "No idea what job for Dumbledore, but Fudge is starting to get on dad's nerves."
"Where's Ron?" asked Harry.
"In the Bookstore," said George, "He dosen't know you're here."
"Let's go find him," said Fred, "Dad knows you're here, he may have told him."
In Flourish and Blotts, Harry spotted Ron, alone reading Hogwarts, A History.
"Reading that are you," Harry asked Ron.
"Harry! Didn't see you come in, We are going to have a huge Hogwarts unit in History of Magic," said Ron, "Fred, George, You show him the Weasley Wizard Wheezes?"
"He found them himself," said George, "Ron, We bought you some dress robes!"
"Your favorite color maroon!" said Fred, "Joking, Ron, They're Blue."
"Thank you!" said Ron, "The only thing you've ever got me."
"Well we're off," said Fred.
"Bye, Harry," said George.
"Harry, It's OK if you can stay, Dad's asking Perkins if they want to stay, why are you with them anyway?" asked Ron.
"I'll tell you later," said Harry.
After Diagon Alley, They all went to the Weasley's for the night.
