Chap-4
The next few weeks of the summer were great. Since Harry brought over his trunk, Uncle Vernon told him that he could stay, but any funny stuff and it's back home. Akira taught Harry curses to try on Malfoy, the Toyamatto's helped Harry with his History of Magic homework, Sirius told him stories of what his father and mother used to do when they were at Hogwarts, and Karrot taught him how to cook (which was just like potions but you didn't have Prof. Snape hanging over you taking off points if you made a mistake.)
One week before the start of term Akira took Harry and Karrot down to Diagon Alley to buy their new book and robes. Karrot persuaded Akira to let them bring Snuffles (A/N: Sirius) to Diagon Alley. The four of them piled into the car. Akira began driving, slowly, but when they got to a stretch of road, it felt like they were on the Knight Bus. In a half and hour, they were in front of the Leaky Cauldron. Harry got out of the car, knees shaking, and walked inside closely followed by Karrot, Akira, and Snuffles.
With a tap of this wand on the right brick, they were in Diagon Alley. The first they did after they got their money from Gringotts was to get their new school robes. Inside, the saw Madam Malkin fitting a robe on Prof. McGonagall.
"Hello Potter, Toyamatto." She said upon their entering.
Harry was curious about why she was getting a new robe, she hasn't grown an inch since he last saw her.
"Well, Potter." She said, "Peeves thought it'd be funny if my robes were on fire. So in the middle of the night, he torched me."
Harry and Karrot had a hard time holding in their laughs. Just imagining her on fire was enough to make a Dementor laugh. Madam Malkin finished up with McGonagall and fitted robes on the two of them. The two of them left with Snuffles, Akira said that she had to talk to Madam Malkin, and they headed to Flourish and Blotts to get their LONG list of books. And the Apothecary to stock up on more potions ingredients. After a quick stop to get ice cream cones and a bowl for Snuffles, Akira showed up carrying quite a few bags.
They went out to the car and perched on the roof of it, there was a small barn owl. They removed the note that was attached, and read it in the short drive home. It turned out hat Sirius wrote to Dumbledore to see if he could come to Hogwarts pretending to be Karrot's new pet so he could keep a better watch on Harry. Dumbledore agreed that he could because they had to discuss some things about what happened in June with Voldemort.
"Well, wont this be fun," Karrot said glancing at Harry, "We can teach Snuffles how to attack Malfoy"
