Harry and the others, except Stacy, made their way to the Dursley's house.
They started walking away from the mansion but Harry noticed that they
weren't walking to the same area where they appeared before to get to the
House for the Gifted.
"How are we getting there?" Harry asked.
"Since we can't apperate yet, we're going to walk there," Jake answered. They came to the forest in the area and followed a dirt path. Harry looked around at his surroundings. He looked into the forest for any signs of wildlife. Ever since his any experiences in the forbidden forest at Hogwarts, Harry was always on the look out for dangerous creatures.
"What sort of animals live in this forest?" he asked.
"Nothing dangerous if that's what you mean," Caroline answered. "Dangerous creatures aren't allowed in here and Stacy makes sure that they stay out. She does a lot to protect us, but to answer your question, I don't know what creatures live in here."
They continued walking in silence until Liz begged Harry to tell them about Hogwarts. None of them could wait till dinner to find out so Harry told them everything he could. He told them about what it looks like, Quidditch matches, the four houses, the teachers and everything else he could think of. By the time he was done explaining, the path in the forest came to a stop along a street. They all walked out of the forest and turned right to follow a sidewalk.
"Where are we?" Harry asked.
Matt answered. "We're in the magical world right now. There's a way to your uncle's house from here but we need to walk." Looking around at the houses, Harry saw some witches and wizards outside. Some witches were using magic to water their plants or remove weeds. Many were talking to each other and some were even waving to the group as they walked by.
"Ah, here we are," Jake said before taking out his wand. They stopped at a brick wall. Jake took his wand and started tapping bricks. It reminded Harry of when he first went to Diagon Alley with Hagrid. The bricks opened up to reveal Muggle London. They all stepped through before the bricks rearranged themselves and closed off the entrance.
"Where are we now?" Harry asked. He didn't see the Leaky Cauldron anywhere.
"Your uncle's house is a few blocks from here," Matt said before they continued walking. In no time, sure enough, Harry stopped them in front of his former house.
"This is where you lived?" Liz asked looking around. Harry nodded.
"I'm so glad to be leaving it," Harry responded before going to the front door. Before opening it, he turned to the others. "My aunt and uncle hate magic. They think we're abnormal so don't use magic, don't talk about it, or show you wands," he said looking at Jake. He was about to open the door until he stopped again. "That is unless you want to make them mad. Then it's fine with me," he added with a grin. The other grinned back as Harry opened the door.
Once inside, Harry found Dudley on the couch watching TV. He heard snickering behind him as the others tried to control their laughter from seeing a boy, as fat as a whale, sitting on the couch eating more food. Harry and the others walked right past Dudley, as Dudley took no notice to the presence of six witches and wizards in the house, and into the kitchen where Aunt Petunia was looking out the windows at the neighbors and Uncle Vernon was reading the paper. No one took notice to Harry's arrival. Harry coughed to get their attention, which worked well. Aunt Petunia's head left the window and looked at Harry in disgust until she saw who was with him. Then she crowded behind Vernon. Uncle Vernon looked up from his paper and look at Harry as if he was dirt on his shoe.
"What do you want boy?" he asked shooting glances from Harry to the others.
"I just wanted to tell you that I'm moving out and never coming back. I'm just here to get my things," Harry said casually as if nothing was new.
Uncle Vernon's eyes opened wide and Aunt Petunia walked out from behind him. Everyone was quite a moment. No sound could be heard besides the TV and Dudley saying, "Mum, make Harry be quiet. I'm trying to watch TV."
Uncle Vernon broke the silence. "You're moving out for good?" he asked.
"Yeah for good. You'd actually think that I'd come back here? Now I'm going to up my room and grabbing my things," Harry said before winking at Matt, Caroline, Jake and Liz. He and Ashley left them to talk to Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia while they grabbed his things. Walking up the stairs they could hear the others making them mad.
"You know," Jake began. "You should get some house elves. Their dead useful."
"You should use some magic to clean this dust. Look at it! Not one thing is not covered!" they heard Caroline exclaim. They could practically hear Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia getting mad.
They reached the top of the stairs and walked to the small bedroom. After undoing a couple of locks, Harry opened the door and walked inside. Opening his trunk, he ran around his room dumping his stuff inside that was on his desk and bed as well as under the floorboard. Ashley stood by the doorway listening to what was going on downstairs. Harry heard her snicker.
"What's so funny?" he asked closing his trunk.
"The others are doing magic tricks. It's hilarious," Ashley answered before walking over to Harry who was trying to drag his trunk. "Don't try to drag it you'll only hurt yourself. Let me help." With a wave of her hand, the trunk levitated off the ground and soared out the open window with Hedwig's cage right behind it. "The wind will take it to our house. Your owl can come with us," Ashley said noticing the snowy owl on the bed.
Harry turned to Hedwig. "Come on Hedwig. You can follow us. We're going to a new home," he said as Hedwig hooted to show her agreement.
"Hedwig? Is that your owl's name?" Ashley asked as Hedwig flew over and landed on Harry's shoulder.
"Yeah. I got her as a present the first year I went to Hogwarts," Harry answered.
"It's a nice name," Ashley complemented before heading down the stairs with Harry. When they reached the Kitchen, they almost died of laughter. Vernon was a neon shade of green and Petunia was a neon shade of pink. They looked scared beyond their wits.
Catching his breath, Harry managed to ask, "What did you do?"
Through hiccups, Liz replied, "Jake was doing some tricks and turned them different colors."
Matt took out a camera and quickly said, "Say cheese!" before snapping a photo making the group laugh harder. They finally stopped laughing enough to wave goodbye and walk out the door. Harry looked back at the house and smiled to know that he would never return back.
Walking for a little while in silence besides the few snickers from people remembering what just happened, Harry asked Jake, "How long will they stay like that?"
"Just for a few minutes," Jake answered. "It'll wear off soon."
"That was hilarious," Caroline remarked.
"That it was," Matt said before taking out his camera. The camera already processed the picture. Matt held it up to show the group. It was a magical picture with moving people. Everyone had to stop walking because they were laughing so hard. Hedwig took to the sky and landed on a branch until the group stopped laughing. After a few minutes, Hedwig landed back on Harry's shoulder as they continued their path home.
"How are we getting there?" Harry asked.
"Since we can't apperate yet, we're going to walk there," Jake answered. They came to the forest in the area and followed a dirt path. Harry looked around at his surroundings.
