A/N: This is the modified version of my first fic. The un edited version was pure CRAP. In fact i think it was probably the worst written fic i've ever come across. So i've made alot of changes. I've changed the plot, i've made the chapters longer, the writing is loads better...so even if youve read the old version, you can read this story again because it has COMEPLETLY changed. It takes place BEFORE Ootp. This story is supposed to be silly, okay???
Discliamer: I own Maria Follerlot
and the plot.
And sadly it is my loss,
that all other characters belong to JK Rowling and Warner Bros
Chapter 1 Maria Follerlot
The Summer Vacation was already half over, and the Dursley's of Number 4 Privet Drive were very busy indeed. Today was one of the biggest days of the year for them!
Petunia Dursley's Richest and Most Good Looking friend was coming over to stay! She was a really divine creature...and she had loads of cash.
Everyone at Number Four Privet Drive was immensly excited. Everyone...even the Non-Dursley who lived there.
As the three Dursley's got themselves ready and made preperations for their guests arrival, the fourth occupant of number four lay in his room thinking.
He was a strage boy, skinny, with dark hair, glasses and clothes that were thrice his size. But the strangest thing about his appearence was a thin scar on his forehead.
Harry Potter was an unusual boy. He was a wizard...and not an ordinary wizard either! Harry had saved the wizarding world twice already
by preventing Voldemort, the Darkest wizard of all time from rising back to power.
But last year...he had failed. Voldemort had come back...and Harry had met him...face to face.
Still, It was hard to think of Voldemort at the moment. Harry was way too excited.
Although, The Dursley's were excited about Maria Follerlot's visit...and Harry was excited because he was to leave for the Burrow, the only place besides Hogwarts he could call a home.
He was excited because he was going to see Ron, Hermione and Sirius again. Not to mention Mr and Mrs Weasly, and Fred and George and Ginny...And maybe even people from the Order!
But the best part was that he wouldnt have to bear with the Dursley's for another three weeks of the summer! How wonderfull life was!
Harry knew that he desreved a little sanity and time with his friends. His vacation had been pretty terrible and full of anticipation.
Voldemort had risen again...but he hadnt done anything yet. There had been no news from the wizarding world.
Harry didnt know whether this was good or not. For all he knew, Voldemort could have fallen off a cliff and died and nobody knew yet. Or maybe he could be recruiting his forces...
Harry shook his head. This was no time to think of Voldemort! He should be happy now...he should start packing!
Just then, a large tawny owl with the Hogwarts crest flew in through the window and straight at Harry's head. It stuck out its leg and let Harry take the letter it carried.
Harry opened the letter and frowned. It was from Dumbledore...and its contents did NOt make Harry happy.
Dear Harry, (the letter had said)
I had called on Arther and Molly Weasly earlier
today and they informed me that you were to come to stay
with them for the rest of the summer.
Harry, i must ask you to stay at your aunts house.
The Burrow is not safe for anyone at this time.
The Weasly's have shifted to another dwelling which
is safer at the moment and although i know you want to
go where the Weasly's are, i must ask you to stay at
your aunt and uncles for your own safety. I cannot let you endager
the lives of others and i'm sure you will agree with me
in the meanwhile, keep a low profile and be on your gaurd...
just in case there is trouble
Sincerly,
Albus Dumbledore
Harry couldnt believe what he had just read. Had something happened? Did Voldemort do something? why wasnt the Burrow safe anymore? what was going on? More than ever, Harry wanted to be with The Weasly's, Hermione and Sirius. But he knew that Dumbledore had a reason for keeping him at The Dursley's.
Harry sighed. his spirts had dropped to an all time low. Now he would have to stay at the Dursley's for another three weeks. And to top it all, Maria Follerlot was going to be there!
Harry sincerly hoped that Maria Follerlot was NOTHING like Aunt Marge!
Harry placed Dumbledore's letter on his bedside table and made his way downstairs to the kitchen, where Aunt Petunia was putting the finishing touches on that nights dinner, and Uncle Vernon and Dudley were watching a game of rugby on the kitchen television set.
"Er..." said Harry
"What is it, boy? Shouldn't you be out of here by now?" asked Uncle Vernon.
"Well..." said Harry "I cant go"
Aunt Petunia stopped tossing the salad. Uncle Vernon and Dudley tore their eyes away from the game and looked at Harry.
"What???" said Aunt Petunia "But Maria is going to be here any minute! Vernon, what do we do with him?"
"Keep him in his room" said Uncle Vernon
"Youre going to keep me in my room for three weeks and expect Maria Follerlot not to notice that i live here?"
The room was silent. Dudley began picking off olives from the salad. Aunt Petunia looked to shocked to notice and Uncle Vernon looked like he was about to explode.
"Right, then" he said "You will do exactly as i say. You will tell Maria that you go to St Brutus's Center For Incurubly Criminal Boys. You will hardly talk and will only be seen at meals, got it?"
"Alright" said Harry
"Right" said Aunt Petunia "Now go upstairs and change. i dont want Maria to see you like this. If she's going to think you are an occupant of this house you better dress properly. And do something about that hair!"
Harry sighed and made his way upstairs. It wasnt like he wanted to be with the Dursleys either! He would much rather be with his magical friends. So it wasnt as if this was all his fault.
Harry opened his closet. He didnt know what Aunt Petunia expected him to change into. All his clothes were hand-me-downs from Dudley. And they were all very big for him anyway.
Harry decided to go with whatever fit him the best. Then he combed his hair (it made no difference any way) and made his way downstairs.
As he reached the living room door, the door bell rang.
"Oh! She's here!" said Petunia excitedly
"Now Dudley, remember what we rehearsed" said Uncle Vernon "And you" he told Harry "speak only when youre spoken to"
"Right" said Harry with a smile on his face that infuriated Uncle Vernon even more.
"Maria!" Harry heard Aunt Petunia say
"Petunia!" How wonderful to see you" said Maria as she entered the house.
Maria Follerlot looked EXACTLY the opposite of Aunt Marge.
She had black hair and blue eyes and looked about the same age as Aunt Petunia.
"Maria, i'd like you to meet my family" said Aunt Petunia
"This is Dudley, and my husband Vernon..."
"What a pleasure to meet you Miss Follerlot" said Dudley in an overly polite manner
"Likewise" said Maria. Then she looked at Harry and the most peculiar thing happened. Harry saw Maria's eyes travel up to his scar. And he could have sworn she knew...
"And this is Harry Potter" he heard Aunt Petunia say in a falsely bright voice.
"Yes" said Maria "Lily's son"
Aunt Petunia looked shocked. Lily's name had not been uttered in the Dursley household ever!
"Right...Maria would you like to freshen up before dinner?" asked Uncle Vernon in a nervous way.
"Yes, that would be nice" said Maria "Maybe Harry could show me my room?"
Harry nodded and started to lead the way to the guestroom. As soon as they were up the stairs and out of earshot of the Dursleys, Maria turned to Harry and smiled.
"Wow! I'm finally getting to see you! Oh you look exactly like James! Harry this is wonderful!"
Harry looked puzzled "You knew my father?"
"Oh!" said Maria and she looked around. "where's the guestroom?"
Harry guestured to a door on the right.
"Right" said Maria pulling him into the room.
"We musn't be overheard" she said
Once they were inside, Maria beamed at Harry and said "Well Harry, I knew both your parents really well too...i went to Hogwarts...i'm a witch"
Harry had never been so surprised in his whole life. Maria Follerlot, the rich friend of Aunt Petunia's...a witch? Harry almost laughed as he thought of what his aunts reaction would be if she found that out...
"I know this is all a real surprise and all, but please dont tell your aunt and uncle" she said
"Wouldnt dream of it!" said Harry. He'd been waiting for some contact from the magical world for so long and now here it was.
"Oh Harrrry!" he heard Aunt Petunia shout from downstairs in a very false voice.
"I think i have to go now...but i really need to know what's been happening in the magical world...will you tell me later?" he asked
"Yes" Maria nodded
PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!! Flames are okay too...so long as you tell me WHY you didnt like it and HOW i can improve:)
