Chapter Two: the big Mistake
Although Uncle Vernon thought that Harry had something to do with the snake, he didn't punish Harry, which surprised him very much. Harry was in his cupboard, leaning against the wall, deep in thought. "What about Sirius?" kept popping into Harry's head. If he had been sent back to start his school years all again, maybe Sirius would have been too. But how to contact him? Knowing that Hedwig didn't exist to him at the moment, he had no way of contacting him. "But wait" he thought "Sirius is still in Azkaban". He felt a pang of sorrow for his godfather, stuck in that horrible place, with the dementors sucking all the happiness out of him.
After a couple of days, sitting in his cupboard Harry found himself going to Mrs. Figgs place, as Dudley had to get his school uniform. Harry was going to say to Aunt Petunia not to bother about his uniform, as he wouldn't be going to a muggle school. He thought this was going a bit too far so he decided against it.
As he was walking over, and Aunt Petunia was pulling out of the pebble driveway, Harry thought "Mrs. Figg is a squib! Finally I might be able to have some fun at her place" then he perked up and walked a bit quicker next door. Banging on the door, Harry thought how he was going to bring up the subject of witches and wizards.
The door swung open and Mrs. Figg was standing there, smelling like cats as usual. "Come in dear, Come in" she said, and ushered him inside. Harry remembered back (or was it forward?) in year four when they had borrowed tents from someone. They had smelt like cats and were furnished, as Harry realized how close it was, to Mrs. Figgs house.
As last time, she sat him down in front of the TV and gave him a slice of stale chocolate cake. Harry wasn't sure what made him do it, but it just popped out. "I know you're a squib Mrs. Figg". Mrs. Figg dropped her cake in surprise. "Harry!" she exclaimed "How on earth did you know! You're not even meant to know about wit..." but she slapped a hand over her mouth and continued "I don't know what you're talking about. And what on earth is a squib. Eat your cake, I need to speak to someone" and then she turned and left the room.
"Stupid, Stupid me!" Harry thought. "What if this puts the whole future out of whack?" Harry leant back on the moth eaten couch thinking.
Later, in the kitchen, he found another scene from his previous life being replayed again. He walked in to find his Aunt dying the old clothes for his uniform. He opened his mouth to say something but thought of the stupid mistake he had made at Mrs. Figgs so he kept his mouth shut. Uncle Vernon and Dudley came in, wrinkling their noses. Uncle Vernon sat down to read the paper and Dudley started eating his bacon, grease trickling down both his chins.
They heard the click of the letter box. "Get the post, Dudley, said Uncle Vernon, his nose still stuck in the paper. "Make Harry get it" "Get the post, Harry" "Whatever" He got up and left the bacon smelling kitchen, felling the surprised eyes of Vernon and Dudley on the back of his neck.
He went into the hallway and grabbed the post. It was then that he remembered about his letter from Hogwarts. He saw it was there and let out a yelp of happiness. Hogwarts was real! Walking back to the kitchen he thought, "Stuff them, I'm keeping this letter, I know Uncle Vernon will just loose his head over it anyway". So he stuffed the letter back in his cupboard and continued into the kitchen with the rest of the letters.
So it was that Harry found himself, in the middle of the night reading his letter. When he finished, he realized what a huge mistake he had just made. His stomach plummeted, and he started to fell dizzy. If they didn't leave privet drive, then there was no way he would meet Hagrid, which meant no going to Diagon Alley, which meant no school supplies which meant no Hogwarts!
Then he started to calm down again. He would just re-seal the letter, and slip it in with the post tomorrow morning. Feeling at ease again, he lies back down, and fell asleep almost immediately.
His plan worked perfectly. He snuck out early in the morning and placed the letter on the doormat. He was relieved to see the post arrive just as he was sneaking back to his cupboard. He was cooking the breakfast when he heard a shout in the hall. "How do the know?" it was Uncle Vernon. Harry smiled to himself, but got ready to pretend to be shocked.
Uncle Vernon burst through the door. Dudley, Harry get out. Harry shrugged and left. But Dudley didn't leave without a fight. Five minutes later Dudley came out looking very disgruntled. He put his ear to the keyhole and listened to what his parents were saying. "That's rude you know Dudley" Harry said, in a mocking voice. "Who asked you, rat" He replied, sneering.
The rest of the letters came, like last time and he found himself at the rock, awaiting twelve o'clock, when Hagrid would arrive and take him to Diagon alley, a day behind of schedule but there all the same. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1.
There was a soft tap at the door. Harry sat up, alarmed. Hagrid knocks harder than that. The person behind that door wasn't Hagrid. The knocking got louder. Until a familiar voice, from behind the door, said allohamora and the door swung open. It was Professor Snape.
Harry's mouth dropped open. "No way, No way this can't be happening, now I have to put up with him.
A bang echoed from Snapes wand. "GET UP DURSLEYS!" he shouted. They didn't need telling twice. Vernon and Petunia raced down stairs, and Dudley ran upstairs. Uncle Vernon had a rifle in his hand, and pointed it at Snape. "Put that down" Snape said in a menacing voice, pushing his greasy hair out of his eyes. "This child is coming with me" He jerked a finger at Harry "Now" Harry jumped up and grabbed his few possessions and jumped up, then ran behind him.
"He most certainly will not" Vernon roared, and then shot a bullet at Snape. Snape waved his wand and the bullet stopped in mid air, then dropped to the floor. "Accio Rifle" he said and the rifle flew towards him.
"G-get out o-of my h-house, t-take the b-boy, j-just g-get out" Uncle Vernon stuttered. Snape spun round and walked out the door, Harry close at his heels. "I suppose you are wondering who I am?" Snape said, in what would be a nice voice. "Nope, your professor Severus Snape of Hogwarts" Harry replied in a calm voice, and then slapped his forehead. Snape stopped, and turned around. "So it is true, you must see Dumbledore immediately. Grab a hold Potter. Harry realized he was holding a short fishing rod. Harry grabbed a hold, and felt the familiar jerk around his navel, and they were off to Dumbledore's office.
