Chapter8: More school, wands and the mysterious door.
The rest of the christmas holidays were really fun for Harry, Charlie, Sirius and Remus (who stayed at Pranksters Place for the rest of his time off)
They spent most of the day after the day after boxing day outside in the bitter wind and snow, flying. (rather Sirius and Harry did. Charlie hated flying and Remus didn't like it much either)
Sirius and Remus had given Harry a better broom for christmas. It went up to a height of 5 metres and really Harry shouldn't have been using it yet, because it had an age limit of over 8 but Sirius thought he was ready for it.
Harry loved zooming around the grounds chasing a snitch (yet again programmed to not go higher than Harry could). Harry and Sirius played a mini game of Quidditch (Sirius beating while Harry chased the snitch). Charlie and Remus cheered for the sidelines.
At lunch time the quit playing for a while and ate some lunch. Then they spent the afternoon having snowball fights and making snowmen and angels in the snow.
Most of the holidays passed in the same way until one Friday Sirius told Harry and Charlie to leave him alone for a while, while he found a new school and a new flat for after the holidays.
Remus spent most of that day doing paperwork too so Harry and Charlie were left alone to explore for a while.
They found all sorts of rooms. One was full of basic pranking aids. Another was full of teddy bears. But Harry and Charlie's favourite room had a floor, which acted like a trampoline. They spent ages bouncing about doing flips and stuff.
They came back in the living room in the late afternoon sucking on some huge lollypops they had found in a room on the fifth floor, which was full of them.
"What have you two been up to?" Sirius asked as they walked in and sat in the armchairs on either side of the room.
"Exploring!" Harry told him.
"Sounds like fun! I guess you found the lollypop room they!" He smiled nodding at the lollys on their hands.
"Yup!" grinned Charlie "do you want one?" she asked
"Might as well!" Sirius grinned helping himself to the strawberry lolly Harry offered him.
Sirius found a flat in Wales near Pwhelli and he found an English speaking school for Harry and Charlie.
The next day was the Saturday before Harry and Charlie were due to start at their new school so Remus bid them farewell and left them and headed home to his own flat in London. When he had gone Sirius Harry and Charlie began the long train journey to Pwhelli.
The flat and school Sirius had chosen were really nice and friendly places. Sirius, Harry and Charlie became Nick, Alex and Lucy Wishing. They all sported sandy coloured hair and Blue eyes, Sirius hair was shoulder length, Harry's short and spiky and Charlie's was waist length.
They lived quite Happily in Wales for over two years before Charlie accidentally set a teacher on fire. ("I didn't mean to!")
They stayed at pranksters place for a while Sirius arranged another school and flat.
While they were at Pranksters palace Sirius and Remus (who had come to visit) decided to take Harry and Charlie to Diagon alley.
The arrived by Floo-powder and enjoyed looking around the amazing wizard shops.
Harry was really interested in Quality Quidditch supplies so much so he was glued to the window of the store for over an hour before Sirius could drag him away!
Sirius bought books for Harry and Charlie for working from such as 'basic charms for children' and 'Little snippets of Plant care' and also general reading books such as 'flying all you kneed to know (harry) and Horse Care for Witches and Wizards (Charlie who loved Horses)'.
Then they met Remus at a small ice cream parlour called floren fortiscues. They all ate rather large ice creams before setting off to a shop near the end of Diagon alley to buy wands for Harry and Charlie.
They entered Ollivanders to be greeted by Mr Ollivander. He did Charlie first. She tried out lots of wands before 12inch Ebony and Unicorn Tail hair wand chose her. Harry was even more difficult he tried out Half the shops contents before being matched to an 11inch holly and phoenix feather wand.
Mr Ollivander said that it was curious he was matched to such a wand and that he had been expecting to find somebody else who this wand would match but the wand was to chose the wizard.
They left Ollivanders and went to madam malkins robes for all occasions. Harry got some emerald green robes to match his normal eye colour and Charlie got some deep blue robes which matched her hair. Sirius got some new black and blue robes and got Remus some new black robes too. (Paid for by Sirius) Remus was thanking Sirius profusely (he hardly ever got new robes) when they left the shop.
They returned to Pranksters Palace and Sirius settled down to organise the new living arrangements while Remus entertained harry and Charlie.
He finally arranged for Harry and Charlie to start at Meadings Primary in Derbyshire.
They moved to the school on the Monday and stayed there for 5 months until an accident caused by Harry forced them to move again. The accident, which consisted of Harry blowing up the schools pet rabbit when he tried to change it from white to green, had been hard for Sirius to cover up and he had to use several memory charms of the muggles that were involved.
They next went to a school in France Harry and Charlie loved it. They learned to speak French while they were there too. They had stayed in France for just under 2 years so far so now they were eight years old.
By now, they were practically fluent in French and liked to whisper in French so Sirius or Remus couldn't understand!
They were spending the summer Holidays at Pranksters Palace. Harry and Charlie were bored so they decide to explore the House after all they discovered something-new everytime they explored it.
Today they had found several rooms they had never seen before including one full of sweets and another containing Sirius drinking supply (Harry snaffled a bottle of firewisky "Sirius likes it so I'm going to try it too").
They were exploring a corridor where they hadn't been before when the came across a door with a magnificent crest carved into it.
The crest wasn't much different to the Hogwarts crest (Harry and Charlie Had seen the Hogwarts crest before) except the animals. Instead of being a raven, a lion, a snake and a badger there was a werewolf, a rat, a dog and a stag carved into the door. Instead of the H, there was an M in the centre. Harry prodded the carved animals one by one saying their names:
"Moony, wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs!" he whispered in surprise to Charlie.
As he took his finger off the last animal, the stag, the door began to glow and Harry and Charlie were sucked inside!A/n hope you liked it thanks to all my reviewers! You may have noticed I have put two of the old chapters together in this as I went through. This seemed to make sense as both of the chapters were extremely short!
