OK, no reviews yet...I'll just hang in there! Chapter Two: Off to Hermione's
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The rain was pouring down quite loud outside and Harry was pleased to be banished to his room. He replied to Hagrid's letter and set that aside too. That left two more letters and two more packages.
He opened the next letter.
It was a supply list from Hogwarts.
"-Transfiguration:
Advanced Transfiguration
Amagi Info. for all
Tree into House
-Charms
Seventh Year Charms
Spells, Charms, and Enchantments
-Divianation
Seeing the future through another's eye
Futuristic
More than tea leaves"
Harry grimaced. He hated divianation. Professor Trelawny always predicted his death, which got very annoying.
"-Potions
Perfect Potions
Frogswallop
Mixed and Brewed
Mixing Potions
Perfect Potions Second Edition
Magic through mixture
Everything to know about potions
NEWTS - The Potion Edition"
Harry gaped. His very least favorite professor had assigned at least ten books. He counted them. Eight. Eight books in a few months! They were awfully serious about NEWTS...
"-Care of Magical Creatures
Owl Review
Newt Review
Owls and Newts
Dragons throughout Europe
A guide to beasts"
Five? From Hagrid? That was insane. He'd never do that. Harry blinked at the page several times. It stayed the same.
"-Herbology
Keeping Green
1000 Magical Herb (Interactive)"
Harry was glad Professor Sprout had only assigned two books. He already had too many to buy.
The last class on the page was Defense Against the Dark Arts.
"-Defense Against the Dark Arts
Dark Arts Defense"
Harrry looked closer. One book. One! That never happened with NEWTS coming up...who was their teacher this year?
Harry looked at the bottom of the page by Professor M. McGonagall's signature and saw a P.S.
"P.S. If you are on a Quidditch team, please have your broom checked to make sure it is a Safe Flight broom. No other brooms accepted. Thank you!"
Harry scowled. Last year, Draco Malfoy had fallen off his broom because it was too slippery in the wet, cold, rain. His father had obviously complained, since Draco had been taken out of school the entire rest of the school year.
Harry hoped he wouldn't return.
Draco Malfoy was a pale faced boy who was Harry's worst enemy, except for the dark lord. He was in Slytherin and very rude and annoying. He made fun of Hermione because she was muggle born and Ron because he was poor.
Harry folded the letter and sighed. He picked up the last letter. In big letters it read, "AN EMERALD OFFER". It was colored in emerald ink and on black paper.
"Only one gets an emerlad offer per year and must complete their task. Their task cannot be given to them, but they must earn it before they rot in hell"
Harry sighed again. Probably junk mail.
"HARRY POTTER!!!!!!!" Uncle Vernon bellowed.
Harry rushed down the steps and looked his uncle in the eyes.
"Some Mrs. Granger just called about something--"
Harry grinned.
"What is that look on your face?" Mr. Dursley retorted, "She's going to pick you up tomorrow"
Harry laughed.
"You're kidding!"
"NOW GO BACK UPSTAIRS!!!!!" Uncle Vernon shouted.
Harry did so.
He was very happy about seeing Hermione.
He gave his letters to Hedwig and went to open his next package.
A huge box sat on the bed. He opened it.
Inside was a huge set of books, bound together. Hermione's handwriting on a slip of paper that was in the string said, "To Harry: Potion Books"
Harry gasped. It was all the potion books he needed.
"Wow...thanks, Hermione..." Harry whispered.
Normally, he'd laugh at her buying books because she loved them so much, but he really needed them. But he knew who needed them more.
Ronald Weasley came from a very poor family and there was no way he'd be able to afford all this!
Harry slumped, wondering what to do, as he opened the other package.
It was from Ron, judging by the handwriting that said "Harry's B-day Present".
Inside the package were some extremely handsome dress robes. They were emerald green like his old ones and had a golden chain connecting the sides around the neck. Harry grinned.
Then he remembered Ron's dress robes. He ran to his closet and pulled out his old dress robes. Ron needed them. He looked out the window. Hedwig was still glaring out at the rain.
Harry scribbled a note, "Thanks for the robes, sorry if your present is wet!"
He attached it to his robes and gave it to Hedwig. Hedwig frowned.
He gave her a friendly push and she flew off into the rain.
Harry smiled contently as he watched his pet fly off with his items.
It wasn't long before the next day came. Harry excitedly packed up and waited for the Grangers.
DING DONG!
Harry bolted for the door bell and answered it.
A woman who looked famillar and a man who looked famillar stood there with Hermione. Hermione's bushy brown hair was down as usual and her sparkling brown eyes shown brightly.
"Harry!" She cried, hugging him. "I missed you sooo much! I got your letter!"
Harry waved to the Dursley's and they were off.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Was that short or long or what? Well, R/R! Thanks! Oh, I was thinking this may start sounding like a Mary Sue -- it's not. Trust me, once you read the end, you'll see.
