Chapter 2 Back To School
Harry had never had so much fun at Privet Drive.
Maria Follerlot, apart from being a witch and loads of fun, shared Harry's dislike for Dudley and had great stories about Harry's parents.
But Maria had also got news from the outside world...news that wasnt very good. Voldemort was torturing Aurors again. He had gotten hold of Alastor Moody, but Moody had escaped...narrowly. It was all being kept quiet though...not many knew the actual truth. The only people who knew were the people in The Order Of The Phoenix.
Harry had kept asking Maria for more details, but she said she was sworn to secrecy and couldnt do anything. From what Harry could make out, A whole lot of people were in the Order, but he didnt know who all of them were.
Maria also had to keep going for Order meetings. She invented many friends and said she had to go to various "business meetings" at that time.
She was more of a friend to Lily then to Petunia. But as she had told Harry earlier, it paid to be friendly and have non magical contacts. It helped in wizard-muggle unity. And see how her friendship with Aunt Petunia had helped? Now Maria could visit Harry whenever she wanted...keep an eye on Lily's son.
"Ah Harry! Your parents were the best...the most fun people i've ever met...and they had such good hearts" she would say
or they would tak about various people they knew in the magical world
"Cornelius Fudge needs to sit back and take a look at the world before he acts"
"Of Course, Dumbledore is the greatest...why when i was at school..."
or then they would discuss Hogwarts and how much it had changed
"Hogwarts is still great...we have a couple of pranksters too...Fred and George Weasly...their my friend Ron's brothers."
Maria and Harry had a lot in common. Harry liked her alot and finally felt like he had a mother figure around (Well, besides Mrs Weasly)
It was also nice to know that the Dursley's welcomed Maria and treated her like a queen!
As always happens when one is having fun, time began to slip by extremely quickly and before he knew it, It was September the First and Harry was at the back of Maria's car on his way to Kings Cross. Maria had offered to drop him off with the pretence that it was on her way. The Dursley's looked extremely nervous about this, but couldnt bring themselves to say no.
Maria had seen him off on Platform 9 and 3/4 and had wished him all the best in the year ahead.
Harry got onto the train and made his way towards an empty compartment. A few minutes later, Ron appeared.
"Hello Harry! Good to see you again!"
"You too Ron...where's Hermione?"
"Um...Yeah Hermione." said Ron
"You two have a fight again?"
"No...she's still in Bulgaria!!!"
"Well YOU sound happy" smirked Harry. "But she isn't coming to school on time?" He asked.
"Lets not talk about the know-it-all ok? How was your summer?"
"Not bad really." said Harry and proceeded to tell Ron all about Maria Follerlot
"I know that name..." said Ron
"Yeah. She was in Romania for the last four years working with dragons. She was Charlie's supervisor...thats why she couldnt visit me before"
"Oh that explains it..." said Ron
"Ron, has anything...er...strange being going on?"
"Well, i dunno much. Mum and Dad are in the Order but i dont know much about it" said Ron "All i know is You-Know-Who tried to get Moody and Moody escaped. At least no one's been hurt..."
"Yet." said Harry "I wish Voldemort was dead"
"Well, I bet one day he will be!"
"Yeah, I hope so..." said Harry suddenly wanting to change the subject. "So how was your summer?"
"Alright...Mom and Dad were hardly around...they had to do some work for the Order...Fred and George were quite entertaining though...they've let Ginny in on their joke shop business and the three of them have been blowing things up all summer!"
"I wonder if they'll show us what theyve developed over the summer" said Harry
"Maybe" said Ron "But i bet they'll liven up our school year for sure..."
"Yeah" said Harry "If Voldemort doesnt 'liven it up' first..."
* * * *
It felt really good to be home.
Harry took off his glasses and put them on his bedside table. Then he lay down in his comfortable four poster bed and looked back at his night's events.
Meeting Hermione again...her excitement at being made a prefect...the twins and Ginny looking more mischevious than ever...Dumbledore's speech...the look on Ron's face when he had heard Hermione talking about Bulgaria...
Yep...It sure was great to be home!
Stay tune for more! I promise it'll get more interesting later In the mean time, read and review please!
