Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes
The Dursely's car pulled up near Diagon Alley's entrance. There were the Weasley's waiting to take their stuff.
"Good morning Harry! Hello Hermione!" Mrs. Weasley cheered excitedly.
"Where's Ron and Ginny?" Hermione asked.
"They're already in Diagon Alley." Mrs. Weasley assured them.
"Good day Dursely." Mr. Weasley said as put his hand out to shake Uncle Vernon's hand. Uncle Vernon just stared grouchingly at him. Deciding to just skip it, Mr. Weasley helped Harry and Hermione pack there things into their car. As soon as the last thing was packed, the Dursely's drove off.
After securing their car, the Weasley's, Harry, and Hermione walked into Diagon Alley. Inside they found there was a huge line coming from a store.
"What's going on?" Harry asked.
"I don't know." Hermione replied.
They followed the line and found out it led to a store called Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes. "Looks like George and Fred's store's a huge success huh?" Harry thought aloud. Hermione nodded.
"Harry! Hermione!" A voice called. The two saw it was Ron with Ginny inside the store.
"Hey Ron!" Hermione said.
"What's going on?" Harry asked.
"Oh, just a sale our brothers are having. Everything 50% off." Ginny smiled.
"Wow!" Hermione looked amazed at the surroundings. There were all sorts of hexes among other things.
"Harry!" A voice called.
"Hermione!" Another called. The two turned around to see Fred and George behind them with big grins on their faces. "Have we got treats for you!"
"What now? Taffy that blows up in your face?" Harry asked sarcastically.
"Very funny. Actually it's gum." Fred pulled out a few packs and handed them to Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny.
"So it's gum. What about it?" They asked.
George grinned. "Ah but not just plain gum, these things have been enchanted to, so long as you're chewing it, it'll change your voice to whoever you say before you start chewing. Observe." He pulled out a piece of his own pack and unwrapped it. "Harry Potter." He said before he placed the gum in his mouth. He started chewing, still with a huge grin on his face. "Hey Harry! How are you?" Everyone gasped. His voice sounded exactly like Harry's. He pulled the gum out. "There's just one problem. If you swallow the gum, your voice will stay the same until . . . well . . . it's out of your body." George smiled.
"I'm impressed you guys actually created something useful." Ginny laughed. Fred and George shot glares at her.
"But how authentic are these voices?" Hermione asked.
"We've already tested them and they fool even the best voice activating spells or enchantments." Fred explained. Suddenly the crowd started to get restless.
"Oops, we've been away from the counter too long. Catch you guys later." George called as the two left.
"Looks like the two were made for mischief eh Ron." Harry joked. Ron laughed.
"Come on, let's go get our books." Hermione pointed out. The four caught up with Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and entered the book store. There they found their things and got in line.
"Arthur!" A voice called. Mr. Weasley turned to see a young middle-aged man approach. He was no different than Mr. Weasley except he has light brown hair instead of red hair. He even dressed similarly; the only difference was his voice sounded different from an English accent. He smiled.
"Walt!" Mr. Weasley grinned. The two hugged friendlily.
"How you doing man it's good to see you." The man laughed, and then he started at the kids. "Well don't worry your kids, introduce me."
"Ah yes. These two are my children, Ron and Ginny." Mr. Weasley pointed out. The three shook hands.
"I haven't seen you kids in ages! How you doing?" The man smiled.
"Fine." Ron grinned.
"Good as can be expected." Ginny smiled.
"Oh and these two are their friends. Hermione Granger and Harry Potter." Mr. Weasley pointed towards them. "Harry, Hermione; this is my dear friend. Walter Walled."
That name sent shock on their faces after they shook hands. "My, my, Harry Potter. I'm sure you've heard this before but it is such an honor to finally meet you." Mr. Walled grinned.
"I take it your son is here with you right?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"Ah yes. Thomas my boy, could you come here please." Mr. Walled called over a boy Harry and Hermione both knew. He came boy and realized who he was about to meet and showed surprise on his face.
"TOM!" Harry and Hermione gasp.
"HARRY! HERMIONE!" Tom gasped.
"Oh, you two know each other?" Mr. Walled asked.
"Dad, Harry's our new neighbor and Hermione's my chat room friend." Tom explained. "She also stayed with Harry for the past week."
"Ah I understand now." Mr. Walled sighed. Ron glared at Harry when Tom mentioned Hermione stayed over.
"Mr. Walled, Tom's told us you teach. Where exactly do you teach?" Hermione asked.
"Salem, USA." Mr. Walled replied.
"I knew it. The only wizards school in the states." Hermione sighed to herself.
"Yes, such a shame it almost didn't last with those awful Witch Trials." Mr. Weasley added in.
"Well look at the time. I really must be going. See you later Arthur." Mr. Walled started to walk off with Tom.
"Hope to see you again Mr. Walled." Hermione called.
"Maybe sooner than you think." Mr. Walled grinned.
"What was that?" Harry asked.
"Oh nothing." Tom answered as the two left. "See you at Hogwarts." Everyone waved goodbye.
After that incident, the days leading up to the train ride to Hogwarts zoomed by until it was time to go. After getting on board; Harry, Hermione, Ginny, and Ron found Luna and Neville and found a room to stay in. Ron and Hermione told Harry the rules about being a prefect since the meeting on board were for 5th years only. The group of friends were enjoying themselves until Draco showed up.
"My, My. If it isn't Potter! I see you've actually become a late prefect and you're Quidditch captain." Draco laughed.
"Yeah, and from that C badge I'd say you're Slytherin's Quidditch captain. I guess this'll be our easiest year then." Harry smirked.
"Big words coming from a Half-Half who spends his time with a mud-blood and a bunch of Traitor Pure Bloods." Draco snarled. Harry and the others drew their wands.
"Excuse me, but I couldn't help hearing you insulting my friends." A voice said next to Draco. The others stopped and stared with Draco to where the voice came from. It was Tom.
"What do we have here? A new student with a weird voice? Who might you be?" Draco snarled.
"Names Thomas Walled and I'm from America." Tom glared.
"A transfer student, well now I know why you'd hang out with the likes of Potter and his friends." Draco stared at Harry and the others with a smirk. Tom drew his wand and pointed it at Draco. Draco drew his and pointed it at Tom. Tom merely tapped Draco's wand and it flew out of his hand. Everyone gasped at this. When Draco turned to get his wand, Tom tapped him on the back and sent Draco flying into the floor. He walked into the room. Everyone just stared at him.
"How did you do that?" Harry asked.
"At Salem, we learn how to do spells without having to say the words. We can even do some spells without even a wand." Tom answered.
"What is the core of your want?" Ginny asked.
"An ordinary dragon's scale." Tom smiled. No one said anything after that, they just stared at him.
When they arrived. Ron, Harry, and Hermione entered one carriage while Neville, Ginny, and Tom entered another. Luna went into one with two other students. When they arrived into the Grand Hall they saw everyone was at the table already so they all sat together. Harry and Hermione had been looking at each other every now and then and just smiling at each other. They noticed the seat for the DADA was empty still.
"Wonder where the new Dark Arts teacher is?" Hermione wondered.
"No idea." Harry replied.
"Hope they're not like Umbridge." Ron mentioned. That sent shudders down everyone who head him's spine. Soon the new students came and were sorted into their new houses. Tom was with them and was put into Gryffindor.
Soon Dumbledore silenced everybody. "Attention everyone. I promise no long speech however I do have a few rule changes. For Hogsmeade weekends, anyone going must report to a staff member that they are going and who with, if that case should apply. Also, any of the rules applied last year by the Ministry of Magic are no longer in effect any longer. Now when our new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher arrives we will begin with the feast."
Suddenly, as if on cue, the doors open and a man comes through. Harry and Hermione gasped. "Tom! That's your father!" Tom just put his hands over his face in embarrassment.
Malfoy and the others noticed and started planning something out. When Mr. Walled approach, they stepped on his cape. He took one more step and flicked his wrist in the air. Suddenly Malfoy and the others flew to the ground. As he walked he straightened his cape and walked until he got to his seat.
Dumbledore stood again. "Allow me to present our new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher from America. Professor Walter Walled. I will allow him to speak."
"Thank you professor Dumbledore; now I would love to say that it is such a pleasure to be teaching here. Now I know we are at a time of fear and panic with You-Know-Who running around. Some of you may believe that you should not make new friends because there's a possibility they may no be here next year. I tell you that you all should do the opposite! You should all gain as many friends as possible. Only with friends will you be able to survive. I guarantee you all that, despite all of your differences in years past, anyone of you who are enemies will, by the end of this year, will be friends. Now the other teachers and I believe that, to bring people together, we shall create new events at anytime during the year, maybe even a few dances. Now I know I've talked enough, let's eat." He started to sit down when Professor Dumbledore put his hand up to stop him.
"Professor Walled, would you do the honors please." Dumbledore said as if he was getting weaker. Harry and the others looked worried.
"Uh, of course Professor Dumbledore." Professor Walled seemed surprised. He put his hands in the air and a great feast appeared. Everyone started to eat however Harry and the others couldn't help but stare at Dumbledore worrying about him.
