AN*~ Disclaimer: I don't own anything that is JK's work, so don't sue me please!!!!!
*Yeah, she's having financial probs at the moment, so be nice*
What finan...
*Shut up! I'm trying to save you from what I nearly made a disaster last chapter!*
Ohhhh, right. Yeah, so anyhoo, don't sue! Lily will be very sad!
*For any one who doesn't know already, Lily is her pet guinea pig, although she has two g/pigs, she only mentions one*
Well no one would care about Oddball; she has no attachments to JK ONE BIT!
*JK might have had a pet g/pig called oddball, you never know! And anyway, I'm surprised Oddball hasn't stopped speaking to you, the way you've totally not mentioned her! Shame on you!*
(Bows head disgracefully) I know, any way, thank you to all of my pets...
*Benny. Nelson, midnight, oddball, and lily. You may as well name all of them, as oddball and lily got a mention, midnight, nelson and Benny will feel left out!*
and everyone else….
Angel's wings:~ Thank you for your review. Yes, it seemed pretty pointless having new students turn up at Hogwarts for no reason, coz they just don't DO that.
Onwards!
Chapter 3
Harry and Sirius landed with a soft bump on the lawn of 4 Privet Drive. Ministry witches and wizards were running everywhere in a panic.
"Calm, calm!" shouted Sirius, waving his arms above his head. Everyone stopped and looked at him. "Could you please not panic? The last thing we need is for every muggle in the street wondering what was going on. You may all leave now."
Sirius leant over to one of the witches nearby. "Don't worry," he said, "Dumbledore's coming." A look of relief spread across her face. All of them scurried away to Disapparate. Harry went boldly up to the front door and knocked. Sirius hung back.
"C'mon. They're only Muggles after all," said Harry.
The door opened, and aunt Petunia was standing there with a slight look of amazement on her face, hands on hips.
"What do you want?" she demanded.
"I've come to get my things, Mrs. Dursley, and then I'll be gone. Forever."
Harry knew that speaking so politely would get up her nose, and judging by the look on her face, he had. After all, he'd had plenty of practice annoying the Dursleys and he knew just how to get under their skin. He also knew that there was absolutely no need to tell her 'forever', and put so much emphasis on that word, but it felt so good to say that after so long, and mean it too.
"Well, don't take too long, we've got visitors coming tonight," she snapped.
'Like all of my things would take that long to pack!' thought Harry. And even though he leaving, at least he knew where he stood. Things hadn't changed. Harry gestured to Sirius to come inside, but he just stood there with a surprised look on his face.
"Now just wait a minute, Mrs. Dursley!" Sirius growled, sounding very much like is Padfoot counterpart, "you aught to pay a little more respect and courtesy to your nephew. He at least did the right thing and knocked on the door, or even used the door…"
Harry walked inside and made his way to what used to be known as his room. Harry laughed to himself as Sirius' voice floated up the stairs. Let's just say Sirius had a thing for manners…
It was only a minute or two until Harry had all of his things packed. He told Hedwig that she could fly with them to the station, but when they got there, she'd have to go into her cage. She'd be better off doing that than being in her cage the whole way. Harry slowly made his way downstairs, leaving his trunk until Sirius had stopped talking to Aunt Petunia. The longer she stayed with him the better; Harry decided. Goodness knows she could do with a lesson or two in manners. Well, after all, he was doing her a favor…
Harry started to feel, (Could it be?) sad. After all, this was where he had spent his childhood. He walked into the lounge room, and all sentimental thoughts flew out of his head when he saw Uncle Vernon and Dudley in those horrid lounge chairs.
"So, you're going to live in that freak world then are you?" Uncle Vernon sneered, while Dudley guffawed stupidly. Pay back time thought Harry gleefully. He tried to hide a smile.
"Yes, I am as a matter of fact, and perhaps you'd better be nicer to me, or your last impressions of me will not be pleasant. My godfather is out there, I only need to call him, and I say! His transfiguration powers are better than Hagrid's. He'd probably turn you into a rhinoceros." Go knows he doesn't need to do much, thought Harry, he looks like one already.
Harry tried not to laugh, as Vernon's face went from a beetroot red to a pasty white in a matter of seconds. Dudley clutched his five bottoms and waddled away whimpering like a pathetic dog. Which we all know he his anyway…
Vernon glared at Harry. Harry stayed where he was, just to make Vernon nervous. His mind wandered to the last meal he had with the Dursleys. They had some of the Dursley's friends over, and Harry was so embarrassed when Vernon started bragging that they had all of their clothes made for them. That's only because you can't fit into the normal sizes thought Harry sourly. Anyway, no more of that for him.
"Sirius!" Harry called. Vernon gasped. Harry grinned. "Could you please help me with my suitcase?" he asked sweetly, angelic like, sniggering…
"Of course Harry, the sooner we get away from this horrid and rude family the better. I can't believe you had to endure this torture of living in this house for so long," replied Sirius dramatically, trying not to laugh at the furious looks on Vernon and Petunia's faces.
They went upstairs to Harry's old room, collected his things and made their way to the bike on the front lawn. They fitted in the things quite easily, as the seat was like Mad-Eye-Moody's trunk. They hopped on the bike, revved the engine, pressed the invisibility button (Which was more reliable than the Weasley's.) and took off into the sky, Hedwig beside them…
Should I keep going? Review and tell me, pretty please!
*At least this time you used your manners!*
Aww, shut up! I usually use them!
*Is that a never usually, or a usually usually?*
A usually usually!
*Judging by the look on your face, which happens to be bright red at the moment, you're not telling the truth*
(Hides face shamefully) No I'm not!
*Yeah, you are.*
Am not!
*Am too!*
I can't be bothered arguing with you now, I've got more chapters to type up!
*Am too!*
