Chapter 5
The Interesting Summer
Part 1
Harry opened his eyes and saw himself falling (again) into a chair. All around him, teachers were staring, mouths gaping. "It is all right. Staff, please meet the newest member of the Transporting Wall Team," said Dumbledore, gesturing to Harry. Everyone around him gasped. After they had gotten over the shock, Harry found out the staff was a nice bunch of people to eat with. Professor Snape, however, looked at Harry as though he was something horrible. And Professor Trwealny (sorry if that's a typo) kept looking at him with worried glances. Finally, Dumbledore got up, and, with clearing the dishes, chairs, food, and tables with a wave of his wand said, "That was a great meal. Please head up to your rooms now. Thank you." All the staff rose, and left. Harry was leaving when Dumbledore said, "Harry! Come back here at 8:00 this evening for a very special surprise." Harry left, thinking about what he said. He had just gotten to the stairs when he realized that he still didn't know the password. Thinking quickly, he started running toward the Great Hall, but, halfway, decided that Dumbledore did not want to be bothered now, and, instead went to the Transporting Wall. He ran in, said, "I wish I was in the Gryffindor Common Room." He felt the familiar whizzing sound, and then saw the common room before falling. He got up, dusted himself off, and went to the dormitory that said Gryffindor 5th Years. He was surprised to see that all of his belongings had been brought up. He opened his trunk, got out his Invisibility Cloak and Firebolt, and raced out side. He decided he would spend the evening racing around the castle, with, of course, the Invisibility Cloak on. It was very fun. Two times he ran into Filch, but, with the Invisibility Cloak on, Filch didn't see him. Harry zoomed into the Great Hall at 7:57. Harry started seeing teachers accumulate in the Hall, all bearing presents. What are those for? thought Harry, silently hovering above the Great Hall. At 8:00 Dumbledore arrived. His eyes swept the entire Great Hall, and Harry could have sworn that his eyes lingered where Harry was much longer than everywhere else. "Where's Harry?" said a voice. Harry looked down and saw Professor Flitwick talking to Dumbledore. "Shouldn't he be here by now?" "Oh, I'm sure Harry is going to show us a most spectacular entrance," said Dumbledore, with his old smile. Harry thought of what he could do for a 'spectacular entrance', when it hit him. He would fly around in circles, while slowly pulling of the invisibility cloak. Then, when he was fully visible, he would soar upward, and then go into a dive in which he would land greatly on the floor. Than banish his broomstick into a corner, then sit down. Harry started going faster and faster in a circle. "Do you here a whizzing sound, Dumbledore?" asked a voice. "You don't think he's coming by the Transporting
Wall, is he?" piped another voice. Harry started removing his cloak. There were gasps and more gasps. He finished, and banished the cloak to the Common Room. He went upward, to the top of the Great Hall, and pulled into a dive. He landed gently, banished his broomstick, and sat down as he planned. All of the teachers were speechless. "Harry! What a spectacular entrance. Is everyone ready for me to break the news to him?" There were slight nods, and some murmurs. "Harry, we have all decided to celebrate your birthday!" "What, me? My birthday?" "Yes. There's some cake too, over there." Harry helped himself to some cake and started being bombarded by the teachers wanting him to open their presents. Finally, he said, "Okay, I'm going to open up my presents in any way I want. I've been practicing the Random Charm, and I've gotten pretty good at it. Just pile all the presents on one table." All the teachers piled theirs presents on the table the furthest away from Harry, (no doubt to test how good his Random charm is). Finally, Harry chose his first present. "Randomis!" A rather large, but squishy package rose into the air and flew toward Harry. It fell, and Harry eagerly opened it. What he saw inside was the strangest set of close he had ever seen. One robe was lightning-yellow, one was sky-blue, one was contempt purple, and some had colors he couldn't even describe. Harry picked up the card. It read,
Dear Harry,
This strange set of robes will definitely come in handy one day. Please use them well.
Dumbledore
Harry stared, thunderstruck at Dumbledore. "W-what are these?" he finally managed to say. "Well, Harry, Each one of these robes can give special powers to the wearer. See, the sky-blue one, for instance, will give you the power to fly, without a broomstick. The yellow one will give you the power of speed. The purple one will give you telekinetic powers, plus physic ones. Refer to the list for more info." Harry looked down, and saw a piece of paper, in witch he didn't notice earlier, or just appeared. "Thanks, Dumbledore. I'll take a look at this when I get back. "Randomis," he muttered, and another package flew into the air. This one was small, but heavy. He opened it to find his very own set of Quidditch Balls! He looked around to see witch teacher had gotten it for him. They all looked as puzzled as he did. Finally, he pulled out the card. In a messy writing, the card said,
Dear Harry,
I know you are great at Quidditch, so I thought that this set of balls might help you for your training. They're not regular - they're bewitched to stay inside witch ever room your in. You have another package from me; you'll see it later.
Love, Sirius
Harry wondered how Sirius could have got here, when he saw a big, black dog prowling around. He gave Sirius a small smile, then turned back to his presents. His next present was also from Sirius; it was a miniaturized Quidditch Field, along with a MiniWand. He decided he would read the card later. Next, was a present from Hermione. Her card read,
Dear Harry,
I hope you like this. I spent a lot of time looking for this specific title. I'm sure you'll love to try it out. I am so jealous that you are able to stay at Hogwarts. I hope you've done your homework!
Love from, Hermione
He tore open the wrapping, to find Useful Spells and Great Charms, by Armond Greytoon. Harry quickly leafed through the book to find lots of spells and charms he would love to try. He summoned his next present and opened it to find a Voodoo Doll. He read the card to find,
Dear Harry,
This is a Voodoo Doll. I thought it might be helpful to use on Malfoy this year. It's not only like you stick pins and stuff in it, but any spells or charms you do t0 it will also happen to Malfoy. Just be sure to say, 'Draco Malfoy!' Anytime you want to use it, or it's a dud. I hope your having fun at Hogwarts.
Ron
Harry thought, Ron was right; I'm going to have fun with this. Harry opened present after present, until there were only two left. He summoned the biggest (and thinnest) one and opened it. Out came the Magic Enhancer, used to enhance any magic. Finally, he opened the last present, and Harry saw white. Something very bright rose out of the box, and settled into Harry's hands. It glowed even brighter for a second, than turned into a living replica of Harry. Harry noticed the note, and set the miniature Harry down.
Dear Harry,
You have always been great in my class. This is a Mini Dream Recreator. If you have a very nice dream, you can think of it, and the M.D.R. will transform into a 3-D replica of the Dream, including background, sound, and other stuff. If anyone talks (except you), the M.D.R. will go into that persons mind, to see exactly what they would say if your dream was real. And, also, this Recreates fantasies. Have fun.
Professor Minerva McGonagall
"Thanks, Professor!" Harry saw Professor McGonagall smile at him. "Thank you everybody," said Harry as he rose to leave. "I'm going to have a lot of fun during the year with these." Harry walked over to Dumbledore, and asked him the password for the Gryffindor Common Room. Harry then performed the Following Spell ("Followus") and walked up to the Gryffindor Common Room, his presents floating behind him. Harry gave the Pink Lady the password (Teetonian) and walked inside. Harry sat all his gifts down on his bed and looked at all of them. These gifts are great, he thought. I'm sure I am going to find lots of ways to use these this summer. Harry picked up the set of clothes from Dumbledore and read the Guide:

Wow, thought Harry. These cloaks will come in handy this year. Let me try one on. "Randomis!" The purple cloaked soared into the air and Harry caught, Quickly, Harry changed out of his regular robes and put on the purple one. When he had it on Harry felt a surge of power inside him. It says telekinetic powers; so let me try to float that mug. Harry concentrated really hard, and, slowly, the cup rose into the air. Harry imagined it coming toward him and it came. Wanting to have fun with his birthday presents, he set the cup back down and concentrated on floating Sirius second gift's card. It read,
Dear Harry,
This is a mini game of Quidditch. Use the miniwand to shrink the set of balls I got you, and then let them lose on the mini-field. They will stay in the field, don't worry. Next, tap your wand to the game and say, "Playerorus!" Players will appear on the board and start to play the game. You can influence the game by thinking of a specific player, and then concentrating on what he/she should do. You can also tune into the Wizards Radio (by saying "Radioso!") and look for a Quidditch Game. When you have one, tap the board and say, "Realmo!" The players (and balls) will then play just like what's happening in the game. It's sort of like a 3-D game, in which you can watch your own, or watch real-time games.
Love, Sirius
This is going to be cool, thought Harry. He set Sirius card down and floated Hermione's book to him. He decided he would learn some of the spells during the summer. He got McGonnagalls gift and set it down carefully on a table. Harry concentrated on him killing Voldemort, and, to his, amazement, it transformed with a flash of bright light, and Harry suddenly saw himself killing a mini Voldemort. Harry watched what he had to do, because McGonnagalls gift said that it would show real stuff. And, just when he was about to find out, a large barn owl swooped through the window. The M.D.R. transformed back into its bright, glittery form, and settled back down in its case. He retrieved the letter from the barn owl, and the package it was carrying. The letter read,
Dear Harry,
Thanks for the money you gave us; last year. With it Fred and I bought a new owl (her name is "Balinny"), and we bought Ron some new Dress Robes like you said. We put almost ¼ of it into savings and the rest Fred and I are using to develop new jokes. In side the package are mainly all the jokes we've invented right now. Hope you like them! And, Happy Birthday!
George
Harry set the letter down and opened the package carefully, in case anything jumped out. Nothing did. Harry found inside loads of neat tricks. A lot of fake wands, some Ton-Tongue Toffees, and a load of new tricks. There were some different types if potions, like the Can't Catch Me! Potion, the Total Chaos Potion, and the Poofing Potion. And there were a ton of different sweets and stuff to eat, like the Hover Apple, the Arm- Maker Chocolate Candy, the Blister Butter Spread, and the Exploding Lollipop. There was so much stuff; Harry couldn't wait to try it out. Then, as Harry was about to get the M.D.R., another owl came through the window. Harry recognized it at once as a school owl. It told him this:
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
New school year Head Boy and Girl, and new school year
Prefects
Head Boy
Stot Nemkehy - Hufflepuff
Head Girl
Mellisa Quenpul - Ravenclaw
Due to new School Board Laws, there will be only two Prefects per House.
Prefects - Gryffindor
Hermione Granger
Harry Potter
Prefects - Hufflepuff
Justin-Filch Flentchy
Ernie Panger
Prefects - Ravenclaw
Fallnook Applo
Ganromond Pinoto
Prefects - Slytherin
Deckle Baxick
Vinny Tremplone
All Prefects and Head Boy and Girl will need to report to The Great Hall at
Percisley 8:00 p.m. after the Back-To-School-Feast.
Harry sat stunned. He, was a Prefect? He couldn't believe it. Suddenly, out of nowhere came a ghost that looked remotely like Professor McGonagall. "P-professor?" he stammered. "Not exactly. I am performing the Looking Spell. I have just gotten wind that you are our new school Prefect. Well, here is your badge." Professor McGonagall tossed a badge onto his desk, where it sat whizzing and flashing violently for five seconds. When it was done, it looked more solid, than before, when it had looked like a ghost like Professor McGonagall. "Bye!" She said, and disappeared with a small pop! Harry concentrated on the badge floating toward him and attaching itself to his robes. It did just that. After, Harry decided he would go to sleep. He put all his gifts away, and went to sleep.
