Chapter 17

Harry woke up the next morning. It took some time to realise he was at Hogwarts. He smiled.

"Harry, are you awake?" Ron's voice came from behind his curtains.

"Yeah, why?"

"Neville and I are going down for breakfast, coming?"

"One moment."

Harry jumped out of bed and quickly changed into his schoolrobes. Neville and Ron laughed at the fast changing.

"What, with Elisabeth and Keith as sibling you have to be quick."

This coused the two to laugh even harder and Harry rolled his eyes in return.

They went down to the Great Hall and everybody was staring at Harry as they passed him. Harry just rolled his eyes, he was already beginning to get sick of it.

They sat down for breakfast and only minutes later the post arrived. Two owls swept down and landed by Harry. One of the owls was Hedwig and they other Oberon, James owl.

Harry just stared at them for a moment and then took the letters. He opened the one from Oberon first.

Dear Harry,

What were you thinking? How could you go and fight with Malfoy like that? I'm very disappointed in you, young man. I was very shocked when I got the letter from Dumbledore telling me about the fight. I hope it won't acure again or I'll personely come and get you.

Love,

Mom

P.S.

I'm proud of you, son. Don't ever surpress the urge if you want to redecorate that ugly face.

Love,

Dad

Harry let out a small cuddle. He had expected to see a Howler. Then he turned his attention to the letter from Hedwig.

Dear Harry,

I think mom went crazy when she got that letter from Dumbledore. Sirius and Remus were over at that time. I saw they had trouble not to laugh, when mom read the letter out loud. Dad somehow stopped her from sending a Howler, saying Malfoy was probably asking for it. She calmed down a bit and then wrote that letter. Dad said he'd post it for her, secretly adding that P.S., but I caught him.

Love,

Elisabeth

P.S.

What house did you make? Oh, and if you hit Malfoy again, give him my regard with it. ::Wink, wink::

Harry began to laugh and passed the letters to Ron, who started to laugh as soon as he finished reading it.

"I want that sister of yours. Do you want to swiths?"

"No way."

Harry began to wolve down his breakfast.

"I have to write a letter. I'll be in the common room if you need me. Come on, Hedwig."

Hedwig, who hadn't left yet, probably an order from Elisabeth not to leave without a reply, seated herself on Harry's shoulder.

~~~Gryffindor Common room~~~

Harry got some ink, parchement and a feather. He sat down and began to write.

Dear Lisa,

Thanks for you letter, I had real fun reading it. Next time I'll definitely punsh Malfoy with compliments of you.

You asked me which house I made. Did you really have to ask? Well, anyway, I made Gryffindor, duh. Ron's in Gryffindor too, as is that girl from Olivanders, Hermione.

I've made a new friend by the way, Neville Longbottom. Does the name ring a bell? It did with me, but I don't know where I should know him from.

The other two boys in our dorm, Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas, are nice too.

Miss you all.

Love,

Harry

"Here Hedwig, take this to Liz."

Just as Hedwig flew out of the window the portret opened and Ron and Neville entered.

"Ready Harry? Here's your schedule." Ron said.

"Let's get our bags and move." Harry answered.

~~~24 October, Godric's Hollow~~~

"Happy birthday, Liz!" Everybody yelled as Elisabeth entered the room.

"Thanks."

At that moment Hedwig flew in with a letter and a package.

"Thank you, Hedwig. Here." Elisabeth gave Hedwig a treat and began to read the letter.

Dear Lissy,

Happy birthday, baby sister. I hope you have a wonderfull day and get some nice presents. I also hope you like mine.

Live at Hogwarts is great. We'll be practising the Wingardium Leviosa spell soon. I can't wait.

Oh, great news. I made the Quidditch team, youngest Seeker in a century! I was recurted after my first flying lesson. I'll tell you all about it when I get back in the Christmass vacation. Could you ask dad if he knows a way to get my broom here without the rest of the school knowing I have one?

Love,

Harry

"Dad, do you have any idea how to get a broom inside of Hogwarts without the whole school finding out?"

"What are you planning?" Lily asked sternly.

"I'm not doing anything illigale, Harry has been made Seeker."

~~~Halloween~~~

"We'll be practising the Wingardium Leviosa charm today. Please be carefull, we don't want any accidents, now do we?"

(A/N: We all know the paring, and I'm not going to change that. You might have noticed the story is going very fast. Well it's because it's practicly the same as the book with a few twists here and there. Other years will be more twists because of the other Potters and Marauder heirs.)

After god-knows-how-long Harry looked around. His feather wouldn't start flying and he wanted to know how the rest of the class was doing.

His eyes soon found Ron. He was being put down by Hermione. Ron said something like, 'You try it, if you're so good.' and Hermione performed the spell and her feather started to fly. Ron looked very pissed at this and his face could have been a thunderstorm.

Harry decided to try again and a miracle happened; his feather started flying too!

"Very good, Mr. Potter, very good indead."

Harry smiled brightly as the bell rang.

"Class dismissed."

(A/N: We already know how Ron insulted Hermione and how Hermione ran of crying. So I'll just skip the whole story between now and the feast!)

Everybody was eating happily when the doors of the Great Hall bursted open and Quirll ran in.

"Trol, in the dungeons! Trol in the dungeons! Just thought you liked to know." And he fainted. (A/N: I just love that part!)

Everybody went back to their common rooms after Dumbledore ordered it, but Ron and Harry wnet to safe Hermione. (A/N: Blah, blah, blah, boring.)

They knocked the troll uncontious and got away before the teachers could arrive.

"Thanks, you safed my life."

"No problem, Hermione. It was my fault anyway, so I had to do something." Ron replied.

"Hey, I helped, stupid and Hermione, that's what friends are for." Harry said and Hermione smiled brightly. "Now, if you will excuse me, I have to report this to Lissy, she'll laugh her head of."

A/N: Hope you liked it more than I do, because I think it's quite boring. Please review. They'll probably go home for Christmass or something.

Today is Halloween, a day of happiness for some and grief for others. James and Lily died 22 years ago. Remember them and what they did. Their deaths have given us a great book, even though they never lived. (They do live in my mind and that's good enough for me!)
