Harry looked around with his magicked blue eyes for his
grandfather.
" Happy Birthday Harry," said a voice in barely a whisper.
Harry spun around to meet the golden eyes of a Snowy Owl.
His grandfather was holding a cage containing the messenger.
" Oh Grandpa! Thank you!" He then promptly hugged the
old wizard. Dumbledore laughed merrily and handed the cage to
the young boy.
" What should I name it?"
" Her, Harry. This owl is a she." The owl made a screeching
noise as if to say ' yes I'm a girl you nitwits.' Harry thought for a
moment.
"Minerva?" The old man laughed.
'A human name?? NO!' screeched the bird.
"Um......I don't think she'd appreciate that Harry." Harry bit
his lip in concentration. Then Dumbledore could see the little lightbulb
go on above Harry's head.
"Hedwig!" He said. The name had suddenly hit him.
'BINGO!' thought Hedwig happily, making several unintelligable
noises to show her appreciation. Harry grinned up at his grandfather,
who smiled back gently.
"Come on my boy. It's time to go home." And the two of the walked
back the way they had come, Harry now much happier than when he
had arrived.

Harry sat on his bed at home, flipping through one of his textbooks.
The bright morning sun seeped through his window, giving a faint gold
glow to everything it touched. He closed the book and went downstairs.
Tommorow he was to go with friends of the family to the Hogwart's
Express in King's Cross Station. Weasley, his grandfather had said.
The parents, Arthur and Molly, knew who raised him and the marriage
between his grandparents. But thier children who were either to attend,
like Ron this year and Ginny the next, or Fred, George, and Percy,
already there, had no idea.
"Harry, dear, are you done packing?" asked his grandmother from
the kitchen.
"yes Oma. Can't I go NOW???" Her laughter drifted in along with
the smell of food cooking and baking. And out came Mcgonagall, her
hair loosely tied at the nape of her neck in a ponytail. Behind her, two
pointed green ears popped out of a berret. She smiled at him.
" Don't be so impatient! A lot will change that you may miss, so
savor your last day." He gave her a quizzical look. Seeing his confusion,
she put down the bowl she was holding and answered.
"You won't be able to call me Oma or Grandma at school. Remember
most people think you are with your mother's... relatives. And you can
only call your grandfather 'Headmaster' or 'Professor'." He frowned.
" But in private, which means your grandfather's office only, you
can behave as you always have. Don't worry love." she said, kissing
his forhead, where a lightning shaped scar lay. Harry sighed and
flopped into a cushiony chair by the fireplace. She laughed again, this
time in an airy way, very unlike her 'professor mode'. But she was
right. His grandfather had said something along those lines the day
before.
'But school is school, I guess'
**********************************************************
"Alright Weasleys'! Harry! Great to meet you again!" cried Mrs.
Weasley the next day. She was a plump, round woman with a cheerful
face, whom had visited Harry as a baby. She hugged him immediatly
and Harry went red. Behind her were the children and Mr. Weasley.
As they began down the station halls, a lanky boy with many freakles
walked beside him.
"Hi," he said, streaching out a long arm to shake his hand. " I'm
Ron. Nice to meetcha Harry." Harry shook his hand, liking the boy
immediatly.
"Nice to meet you Ron." The walked in silence (well almost, the twins
kept arguing over random things for about 3 minutes) until they had
passed the barrier and were looking up at the Hogwarts Express. Harry
grinned. This was it!
(((((-------interuption: I'M GOING TO THE PARTY AT BARNES & NOBLE TO GET OOTP!!!!! I LOVE YOU TAMA!!!!! WWOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!
umm....I'm back...*blush* And I'm done with OotP.LOL)))))))
"Hurry now! Don't want to be left behind!" Called the twins in
singsong voices, followed by cackles. Ron rolled his eyes and chased
after his brothers. Harry pushed his cart behind them. The scarlet
steam engine was pumping out smoke like a volcano, it's golden seal
of Hogwarts glistening proudly.
"Need help mate?" Fred (or was it George?) said, and Harry gladly
lifted his trunk up to the twin. Ron had already gotten them a empty
compartment, so Harry only needed to walk down the corridor.
"Well, if it isn't Potter." He spun around to see Draco Malfoy and
he nearly greeted him, but then he remembered who he had been last
time they had meet. He shut his mouth.
"Famous scarhead!" Harry spin around, raising his wand. But he
didn't get a chance to do anything, as two Stunning Spells knocked
Draco out cold.
"Better sit down 'Arry!" said Fred with a mouthful of food. His wand
was held out along with his twin's, straight at Draco. They were both
grinning madly.
"Thanks guys!" he said. They waved cheerily and then dissapeared
into thier own compartment. Harry was left undisturbed, except by the
whipering thst appeared wherever he went. But he was not bothered by
it, since he knew they had reason to whisper. Entering the last
compartment, he found Ron waving his wand as if thier was a bugger
on it.
"What are you doing Ron?" he said. Ron bit his lip.
"Trying this spell Fred & George gave me, wanna s-" Suddenly, a
girl with fluffy brown hair pushed aside the door, peering around as if
trying to find something.
"Have either of you seen a toad? Neville Longbottom has lost one"
she said, causing Ron's eyebrows to rise. Harry frowned, toads were
NOT good pets.
"No I-"
"Oh! Are you doing magic? Let's see then!" Ron shot Harry a 'what-
is-she-on' look, but pulled out a rat and cleared his throat.
"Sunshine Daisies
Butter Mellow
Turn this stupid, fat rat yellow!"
A spark hit the rat, causing it to jump, but the fact remained that the
rat was not yellow, just fat and stupid.
" It's not very good, is it? I've tried a few, and they all worked for
me." said the girl. Ron gave Harry another incredulous look.
"And who are you to say it's a dud?"
" Hermione Granger. And you are?"
"Harry Potter." She turned to Ron, who had just popped a few
Bertie Bots in his mouth.
"Rwon Weasleay" He said. Harry grinned at Hermione's look of
disgust.
"A...pleasure." With that, she turned and left.

I think 7 pages on my comp is enough. This isn't an exciting chapter, but WTH. ^__^
You know, you learn a lot about how far your writing comes when you find an old story. God, I sucked two years ago...LOL. I wrote the sequel to 'Hands of Blood' (a DBZ fic, and VERY GOOD *wink wink*) called Hands of Terror (I'll re-name it....). My chapters were 8 lines long! *blushes*
If you haven't joined the AlbusandMinerva group, your missing out! We now have a music video! But it won't be up for long, or we'll run out of space.
I'll put the link on my bio A.S.A.P
