Harry stood in the kitchen for a moment, still amazed at how Mr. Dumbledore had disappeared. Then he started for his room, stopping at the cupboard under the stairs to get his suitcase.
Harry started packing his clothes in his suitcase. He hoped there was a laundry at Hogwarts, because he only had 12 pairs of underwear. He then remembered that he didn't know how to do laundry. He didn't know how to cook either, or go shopping. Harry wished he could ask the wizard.
Harry had gotten most of his clothes in his suitcase when it was full. But then Harry realized that he hadn't packed any winter clothes. Oh well. Winter was far away and Harry was sure his mom could bring him some more clothes when he saw her.
Harry's stomach dropped.
He felt bad that he was leaving. Dudley would really miss him and he would really miss Dudley. They had been so excited about going to boarding school together too. Harry was worried about his parents' reactions when he told them. He wished they would get home sooner so he could talk with them while the wizard was gone. Maybe he should call them.. but no, that would just worry them.
Harry continued packing. He had finalized his decision about Hogwarts. He was going so "stop thinking about it" he told himself.
Harry got out his backpack and finished his packing. He wandered into the bathroom and put in his toothbrush, toothpaste, a comb, a bar of soap, and deodorant. Back in his room, Harry added a stationary kit, his pencil box from school, a packet of loose leaf, the three notebooks he had been planning to bring to Smeltings, a box of crayons, a bottle of glue, and the pen that Dudley had given him for his birthday. This reminded him of his pillow which he put on his suitcase. Hm. Harry thought. He still had room in his backpack. He folded up the football poster on his wall, took down his calendar, unplugged his alarm clock, and took out his running shoes. It was a tight squeeze but everything fit.
Harry put on his watch and looked around his room. Anything else? Ah! Pictures!!! He grabbed the two pictures he had on his bedside table- one was a formal family photo from two years ago and the other of him, Dudley, Dennis, and Zach at his birthday last year. He opened his piggy-bank and put the $26.37 carefully into his pocket. He also grabbed his favorite book and the one he was in the middle of reading right now. He put the extra things in his pillowcase and dragged everything downstairs into the kitchen. It took him two trips.
His room looked empty. Harry hoped he didn't get too homesick at school.
When everything was in the kitchen, Harry sat down to wait. He wondered how long it would be before Mr. Dumbledore came back. He grabbed a banana, peeled it, and ate it. He also grabbed two apples and a bag of peanuts and put them in his pillowcase too- in case he didn't get dinner.
He was just about finished with his apple when Harry heard two popping noises behind him again. Turning around, he saw that it was Mr. Dumbledore again with another man. He was younger than Mr. Dumbledore, with black robes and black, oily hair.
"Hello again" said Mr. Dumbledore. "This is Harry Potter" he said, speaking to the other man.
"Hello" Harry said, reaching out his hand. "Harry Dursley, if it is okay."
"Hello Harry" said the man.
"He will be helping you buy your things at Diagon Alley, Harry, while I attend to other urgent business."
Harry nodded.
Dumbledore continued. "I've written a letter to your aunt and uncle that explains your departure and your whereabouts and I'm going to leave it on the.."
"Wait", Harry interrupted. "You mean we're leaving now? Before my parents come home? I have to say good-bye!"
"Harry, Harry" said the other man. "Term begins in two days. We can't wait here forever. I am a busy man and so is Professor Dumbledore here. Now, if I understand correctly, your aunt and uncle are not sure they want you go attend Hogwarts. If we wait until they get home, you will have to talk to them and say your teary good-byes. It would take too long, and you would be late for term. You will see your aunt and uncle again, but it would be best if we leave now."
Harry glared at this man with his greasy, oily, black hair. He didn't like him very much and was actually rather scared of him.
"I am not going to leave without saying good-bye!" Harry said indignantly.
"Harry" said both Mr. Dumbledore and the other man at the same time. "We have to leave now" continued the other man. "It is for the best" added Dumbledore.
Dumbledore put the letter on the kitchen counter. "I will see you on Monday, Harry" he said, and turning to the other man, "Here is his Gringott's key. If you send Harry's stuff to the Leaky Cauldron, I'll reserve a room for Harry." Dumbledore then removed a small gold key from his pocket and, after he had given it to the other man, looked around, and disappeared with a small "pop".
The man turned to Harry's things and put them one on top of another. Harry walked over to where Dumbledore had been, and waved his fingers through the air. Harry was startled when he heard a loud "bang". Flipping around, he saw the man pointing his wand at the air. Harry's suitcase, pillowcase, and backpack were gone.
"Well then, shall we continue?" asked the man in a tone that made it clear to Harry was not a question.
"Um. yes.." replied Harry, wishing that the older wizard was taking him shopping instead. "I don't remember your name." Harry told the man.
"Severus Snape".
