Harry Potter and the Hair of the Unicorn

Chapter 2 : Rescued

Harry picked up the letter that the large gray owl had dropped off. Judging from the formal looking writing, it probably contained his OWLS results. Harry tore of the envelope reviewing the following letter:

Dear Mr. Potter,

We are pleased to inform you of your OWLS examination

scores. Below are the results:

Potions ---- A

Transfiguration ---- E

Astronomy ---- A

Charms ---- E

Herbology ---- E

Defense Against the Dark Arts ---- O

Care for Magical Creatures ---- O

Divination ---- D

History of Magic ---- A

Not bad, Harry told himself but he did have enough OWLS to be a Auror even if they weren't for the correct subjects. Professor McGonagall would find a way. After all, she had said she would assist him in becoming a Auror.

A few days later, as Harry was finishing the last of his birthday cake, the doorbell rang. Curious at who had come calling, Harry opened the door and peered at an odd company of wizards that Harry recognized as Lupin, Tonks and Mad-Eye.

"Hi, Harry. We've come to get you. Is your stuff all packed?" said Lupin

" Yeah, Its up stairs. Here are my aunts and Uncle." Harry replied, gesturing to his aunt and uncle who were peering from behind the door as if they were aliens from outer space.

" Hi again." Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon chorused meekly. Leaving the adults to chat, Harry trotted upstairs to his room. He grabbed his trunk which had been neatly packed ever since the anonymous letter and dragged it, with great difficulty, downstairs to where the others were waiting. By the door, Tonks was chatting cheerfully while Harry's anut and uncle looked like they were frightened out of their wits. Lupin was the first to notice Harry.

"Now, if your all done Harry than lets get going." To Harry's aunt and uncle Lupin said, "don't worry, you'll see Harry next year."

"Now Harry, we'll travel by portkey. We'll all touch this purse. We leave at exactly 11:56." said Mad-Eye.

"Goodbye" Harry said to the Dursleys

" Bye" Uncle Vernon replied through clenched teeth.

"Ready Harry?" asked Lupin, "One, two three."

Harry felt his body being jerked and yanked when suddenly, he landed in a familiar dim hallway of number twelve, Grimmauld Place.

"Harry!" Hermione shrieked and gave him an embrace that seem to suffocate him

"Hey, Harry." Ron said as he pulled Hermione off him. "Glad your here, mate"

"Ron, why don't you take Harry up to your room so he can rest a bit. How are you feeling Harry." said Mrs. Weasley.

"Fine." Harry replied

"Good, drop off your trunk in Ron's room. Dinner will be ready soon."
