A blue light shoot from Malfoy's wand and shot straight towards Harry's chest. It hit with great force and pushed Harry back a few inches before being surrounded by a huge cloud of smoke. It then slowly faded away revealing a very conscious, smiling Harry Potter.

"What the hell happened?" Draco yelled. "How...How did you do that Potter!?...I.I.Stupefy....You.how!?" he stood there babbling a way for a second when Harry Interrupted.

"I told you I didn't want trouble, Malfoy." He raised his hand, "Stupefy." Harry said, barely higher than a whisper, as a burst of light shot from his hand, knocking Draco unconscious. "Let's go you guys." Harry stepped over Draco's limp body, and into Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions, leaving Ron and Hermione once again gaping at him.

Harry entered the robe shop just as Madam Malkin appeared out of the back room. "Ah, hello Mr. Potter," she said as she greeted Harry. "What can I do for you today?"

"Hello Madam," he said with a smile. "I need some new Hogwarts robes and a new quidditch uniform. They're getting quite small!"

"So they have Mr. Potter! Why, I remember when you first arrived at my shop as a first year. You've grown a good foot since then!" she exclaimed, as she took his measurements. "Ah, quidditch has done you well Mr. Potter!"

Harry laughed, "Thank you ma'am."

They continued to converse as Harry's robes were magically sewn together. He then thanked her and joined his friends outside. Harry drew stares from spectators who had witnessed the feud he had had with Malfoy. Ron and Hermione grabbed both his arms and pulled him along to the Leaky Cauldron for some butterbeer, and for some answers.

"What the bloody hell just happened over there?" Ron asked. "No wand at all! And his curse didn't even affect you!"

"School ended and you were the same as you were since your first year, well, a little shook up, but still the same." Hermione continued. "Now less than two months later, you come here all.all."

"Changed." Ron finished for her.

"Plus, you look different. It's like you've been working out non-stop all summer, you're tanner, and you're dressing differently." Hermione continued. "What's going on?"

"It's a long story." Harry replied.

"We've got time." Ron and Hermione said simultaneously.

"Okay." Harry started, "This summer, when I went home to the Dursley's just like always. I was in grief from what had happened. I stayed in my room for a week just staring up at my ceiling, getting up only to eat." He took a deep breath. "My uncle got really mad because I wouldn't do chores and kicked me out of the house. When it got dark, I took the Night Bus to the train station. I went to platform nine and three quarters but it was closed because the school year was over. So I got my firebolt, and bewitched my trunk so I could fit it in my pocket, then I flew my broomstick to school. Professor Dumbledore was still there, since it was just a few days into the summer. I told him what had happened with my uncle and he let me stay in the common room at the castle. Everyday, I'd just sit down next to the lake and think. One day, I thought about Cedric, and everyone who had suffered the wrath of Lord Voldemort." This made his friends shudder. "Anyways, there was this bird perched in a tree. I imagined it was him. Rage built up inside me and I yelled as loud as I could, 'CRUCIO', thinking that if I yelled loud enough he would feel it. The bird fell out of the tree, and onto the ground, twitching. My wand was locked in my trunk in the castle, so I was kind of freaked out. Suddenly a burning sensation flowed throughout my body. I could feel it rushing through my veins. My robes ripped, and my shoes and pants felt too small. I ran into the castle and to the closest mirror. I was at least half a foot taller, and ripped as bloody hell! I was huge! But then I remembered the curse thing. I found the nearest suit of armor and stood a few yards back from it. I did the accio spell on the helmet, and it came right to me. I could do magic without a wand. I was different. I decided to go into muggle London to have some fun with my new look. I got contacts because I was sick of glasses and went for a walk. There was this ear piercing place, so I got mine done. Then I got some new clothes so I wouldn't have to wear dudley's old one's. When I got back to the castle, I practiced quidditch everyday, that's how I got my tan. I told Dumbledore, and even he couldn't explain it. So, we just went on like normal."

"Wow!" Ron said, "That's incredible!"

"I know." Harry replied, "Oh yea, we have a new girl at our school. I met her this summer. Her parents came to the castle to enroll here, she transferred from some foreign school." Harry blushed "She...
