Chapter 3: Problems at the Burrow

Harry threw everything on the floor of his room and hastily hid them under his bed.

He remembered the last few words that Ms. Figg had said before apparating, " . Go back up to your room there should be a certain book one of your friends got you that will be of more interest now." Then it hit him…… Hermione's birthday present!

He immediately jumped on his bed and flipped open the Elements book that Hermione had given him. As he looked at the first page he was amazed to see that there was a picture of a staff exactly like the one Harry was holding in his left hand. "So that's why it looked so familiar," he exclaimed loudly. Apparently a little to loudly because it seemed to have reminded the Dursleys that Harry existed.

"GET DOWN HERE BOY," his Uncle yelled up the stairs.

Harry knew that he was in trouble for loudly talking about him being a wizard outside early that day. He was already extremely irritable that he was bullied around by the Dursley's but he knew he had to take his punishment like a man.



He walked into the living room and all hell seemed to break lose. Uncle Vernon grabbed him by the collar and threw him onto the couch. "ARE YOU OUT OF YOU MIND!?," his uncle hollered "WHAT HAVE WE TOLD YOU COUNTLESS TIMES? JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE A FREAK DOESN'T MEAN THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS TO KNOW. ARE YOU THAT STUPID BOY! DOES THAT FREAK SCHOOL NOT TEACH YOU ANY COMMON SENSE. I KNOW YOU CANT HELP THAT YOUR PARENTS WERE DIRT BUT-"

That was the last straw Harry suddenly rose to his feet and did something no one in the room could of expected. With a swift movement of his fists he had hit his uncle right on the bottom of his nose, causing blood to go everywhere.



"VERNON!…..Vernon are you alright!?" Aunt Petunia yelled.

"GET OUT…..GET OUT AND NEVER COME BACK!" his Uncle roared as he tended to his seemingly broken nose.

Harry ran up to his room and packed his trunk with everything he needed for Hogwarts and left slamming the front door behind him.

Harry stepped outside, anger running through his veins and started walking. He didn't know where he was walking too but he just had too get away from Privet Drive. He had to get away from the Dursleys. He got to the end of his street when he realized how tired he was. He looked around and started to feel a rush of panic. Where was he going to go, where was he going to stay? He sat down against the streets sign and relaxed his mind for a little while. He sat there for a good fifteen minutes when he realized how stupid he had been. "Ill just take the Knight Bus to the Burrow and then they can take care of me," he mumbled to himself happily.

With that he took out his wand and raised it into the air. He kept his wand up in the air for a good minute before he put it down. * Whats going on, the Knight Bus should of came for me* Suddenly he heard the loud cracking of a twig and looked around. Harry slowly walked toward the noise looking around for what caused it. "Lumos," he muttered softly.

He kept walking until a giant animal leaped out of the bushes and impaled his arm with one of the horns that were on it's head. Blood started seeping through the wound, and started to drip onto his pants. "Not you again," Harry yelled. It was the same double horned horse that had attacked him only about an hour ago. Harry had no choice he couldn't out run it so he was going to have to fight it. He grabbed his wand and fired a stunning spell at it but the creature just jumped right over it. The creature ran for him again, but this time Harry saw it coming. He rolled away from its razor sharp horns and fired another stunning spell just as the creature realized it had missed Harry. The spell hit the creature dead on but seemed to have no effect at all. Harry yelled for help and a muggle seemed to of heard because he stepped out of his house to see what was going on.

Once he saw the creature he yelled in fright. The creature heard his yell and ran toward him at full speed. The man froze he was too scared to move. The creature lunged at him and its horns skewered the man right at the mid section. The man dropped onto his knees and fell face first onto his lawn, dead. As soon as the creature was sure that the man was dead it once again ran toward Harry.

"IMPEDIMENTA!" Harry shouted, but instead of slowing the creature down it just seemed to absorb the hit and run even faster.

Harry suddenly realized that the creature must be immune to magic. The creature was still running at him full speed and was now only about 30 feet away. Harry made a last move of desperation "ACCIO STAFF." The staff that he received only about an hour ago was now his only hope. It flew at him and Harry grasped it and shouted the first spell that came to his mind. "HACRUS INFERNO," he yelled at the top of his lungs. The spell had worked, Suddenly a giant wall of fire raised up. The creature stopped short so as it just avoided it and started to try and run around it. Eventually it found a way around it and started running toward Harry again. Still Harry wasn't about to give up, "ISTA GLACIUS," Harry roared. The creature wasn't expecting this and the spell hit it dead on. It froze in place, but after about fifteen seconds started running at Harry again. Harry stepped back and fell, the creature stopped. It was still about fifteen feet from Harry but it stopped. And then it started to transform, Harry watched on in horror as the deadly creature turned into a hooded man. He advanced on Harry, "Ha Ha Ha the dark lord will be pleased when I show him what I've got," He croaked. The man raised his wand and shouted "stupefy." *Well this is it* Harry thought to himself *I'm done.* Then in a panic stricken voice he heard someone yell, "FROZEN AMAS." And Harry felt it again the nice cool feel of ice around him. The stunning spell that the man fired bounced off of the shield and rebounded on him knocking him out cold. When Harry looked around he saw Hermione standing in a brand new convertible Dodge Viper with a staff that looked similar to his, outstretched in her hand. Then simultaneously he saw four red heads pop out. Ron, Ginny, Fred, and George were all sitting surrounding Hermione. "Hey Harry," he heard Ron yell "How do you like the new car?"

Harry grabbed his things and jumped into the car. "Hermione," He began to say but was cut off. "Ill explain everything when we get back," she replied.

"So…..what should we do with horse boy over there?" Ron asked. Hermione was about to answer before she realized, "HE IS GONE," she yelled disappointedly.

"Who cares," Harry responded "lets just get to the Burrow."

Fred and George seemed to think well of this because they suddenly made the car take flight. Harry was a little shocked at first but then realized that Mr. Weasley probably got another flying car after Harry and Ron had lost their old one. This car was much nicer then the old Ford Angelina the Weasleys had before. It had all red leather on the interior and a sleek red paint job on the body. "So Hermione you never told me you where a sorceress," Harry exclaimed. "Well I ran into Miss Figg in Diagon Ally and she seemed to know that I was a friend of yours," Hermione explained. "She told me about you and the elemental magic, and I begged her to teach me. Well she explained all about how you cant just learn it but she said she might be able to help. She asked one of her friends who was a sorcerer and he decided to pass it down to me. So that's how I can use it like you," Hermione finished.

"Your lucky she did learn how to do it too," Ron butted in "without her you would be Bicorn food right now."

"Oh so that's what a Bicorn is," Harry declared. "But it wasn't a regular Bicorn, I think it was really an animagus, because I mean you saw him turn into a man," Harry explained.

The rest of the ride was pretty quite until Harry realized something. "Hey how did you dad afford such a nice car like this," Harry questioned.

"Hoy mate-who ever said it was our dads," Fred replied joyously

"Yup Harry business is booming over at the store so me and Fred decided we would treat ourselves a bit," George added on "And we have it all thanks to you"

The twins thriving business and gratification left Harry feeling especially good for the rest of the car trip. When they finally did arrive at the house it was about eleven o'clock.

All of the lights in the house were off and the door was left ajar. "Something smells fishy," George whispered. They all cautiously walked through the door. The house seemed empty, all was quite and the rooms were all pitch black. Harry could barely see in front of him. All six of them had their wands outstretched in their hands Hermione even had her staff with her too. Harry figured that he would try and put some light into the place and muttered, "Lumos." What they saw in the newly lit room horrified them, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were tied to the walls unconscious. There were ten death eaters in the room and one whom they all surrounded. He lowered his hood and there was the one wizard who all feared to speak of. Voldemort stood there and faced the six kids before shouting "AVADA KADARVA!" The spell went flying at Ginny Weasley she rolled out of the way of the spell just in time. "Ha ha ha, a witty bunch we have got here," Voldemort chuckled. He stood there for a while smiling before he yelled "stun them only….do not kill them." Harry heard ten different voices yell STUPEFY. Hermione tried to protect every body from the spells with her elemental magic but forgot to save herself. She got hit by one of the spells and fell to the ground. Hermione managed to protect Harry and Ron from two of the spells, but the other three where hit dead on with the curse and fell to the ground. Harry and Ron tried to make a run for it, but it didn't achieve much. Ron was almost immediately hit by a stunning spell and flew into the wall shattering a table. Harry was firing as many disarming spells as he could, but soon silence came. He looked around and saw all the death eaters were laughing at him.

"You always were the last one standing weren't you potter," Voldemort said mockingly. "Unfortunately I cannot kill any of you now but your time will come," Voldemort declared. "See you later Potter…….STUPEFY!" Voldemort yelled. This time it hit Harry, he feel to his knees, his last glimpse of the fading room of Voldemort smiling triumphantly.
