Ch: 4
AN: Hey!!!!! THANKYOUTAHNKYOUTHANKYOU!!!!! I wasn't sure if my chapter was any good! You made me soooooooooooooon happy!!!!! I wasn't sure if bringing the book/movie 'Holes' into it or not, and YOU GUYS PROVED ME RIGHT!!! ANYWHO I'll try to make the chapters longer, but it will probably take a week to get it posted! IS THAT OK? If it isn't just tell me!!! I would really like to know! (
Harry looked up from his hole when the water truck came growling down the pathway.
'Finally, they thin' they ca't get 'way wit' not feedin' us really... Thank- God Remus is here'. Harry thought warily to himself. It had been only a week he has been there, and he already despised digging holes. Oh of course he was the fastest digger there, but he still rather run the streets of London, than labor at a work camp. He felt cramped in this place...
"Come along, line up," called Remus, while he got out of the truck. After he gave all the other boys water he discreetly pulled Harry to the side and said, "How are you fairing?"
"Ok. I guess, nobod' ca' do well at these kind ov' places." Harry said gloomily.
"Well just hold on for a couple days. Dumbledore has got a plan to sneak you out
/Sirius is worried about you, you know." Remus said gently
"Yeah, well I believe it whe' I get out of 'ere." Harry said, "but how' Arson, and Savannah doin'?" Harry asked
"Oh their both fine. Dumbledore took them to Hogwarts and started to test their magical ability. Savannah is a great seer and Arson... Well he's uh... a wizard." Remus said while smiling.
"Well tha' good." Harry said, "they'll be able to com' to uh... Hog...warts yeah Hogwarts righ'?" Harry inquired
"Of course... We'll just have to pull some strings, and get some funds to send them." Remus explained.
"Ye do know their par'nts are still alive? 'ight?" Harry asked "Ye ca' contact 'hem"
"Well, that's what we're doing now; do you by any chance know why they were so bad?" Remus asked. "Ya, Savannah's parents were awful nasty, I suppose she was beaten 'hen she wa' younger. An' Arson parents... they forgot 'im in London few years ba', I took 'im in, I did, he didn't know where he lived, poor chap. Suppose 'is parents wan' 'im." I tried lookin' fer 'hem but found nothin'." Harry said thinking deeply.
"Thank-you Harry, but you better get back to digging." Remus said sadly looking at the 2 ½ foot dug hole. "I promise you'll get out of here. Sirius has been begging to come here, but Dumbledore won't let him. 'Cause he's still on the run, and everything. He wanted me to tell you that 'he is gonna storm the ministry to get free, and take you to live with him, and then you'll both be able to eat mounds of candy every single day.' But I'll probably have to come and bring you both to the dentist after." He continued smiling.
Harry gave a small smile back, although it did look like a smirk as well.
"Well gotta ge' ba', ye know."
"Ok" Remus said looking at Harry retreating back.
~~~~~*******~~~~~ Dumbledore's office ~~~~~*******~~~~~
"Sirius, calm down! You have to think rationally. If you even think about leaving this castle before September 1st, you will put yourself endanger of ruining your life and Harry's. He's never had real parental supervision, and has been living ON the streets almost all his life. I don't want you to expect him to run with open arms to you. He doesn't trust anybody, and we all need to work on that. But I can only hope he'll start to trust you. For he'll never be able to grow up properly. He'll never even look me in the eye when I tell him all the mistakes that I made when he was younger." Dumbledore said a bit downheartedly.
"Albus, don't do that. You couldn't give him to me, 'cause you thought I was a murderer. You couldn't give him to Remus, 'cause of his condition. You couldn't take him because you have a school to run. So if anybody is to blame is me, I changed secret keepers, I went off looking for Peter, I stood there laughing when the stupid bloke pretended to blow his guts up, and I let them take me off. And its also the Ministry's fault because they didn't give me a trial. So if its anybody's fault it is the Ministry's and mine." He finished poetically.
"Sirius you can't blame this on yourself. You were just the victim of innocence. You believed your friend not to be a traitor, which is something everybody would do. I don't think it was your fault and neither should you." Dumbledore said wisely.
"Ok... Let me get this strait... I can't blame myself.... BUT you can... I don't think that fair." Sirius said trying to lighten the mood.
Dumbledore shook his head and began to make the arrangements for Harry's return. With him being such a high individual in the Ministry, he'll have him out in no more than 2 weeks.
~~~~~*****~~~~~ Days went by very, VERY, slowly for Harry. He soon became very buff, for an eleven year old. And he had quite a tan. With his messy hair, tan, and him wearing no glasses he looked like, as the Americans will call him, a HOTTAE!!!! (LOL I'm an American and I had to, I just had to. LOL)
When finally the day came and he was able to leave the horrid place. He went right away to Diagon alley, and bought his materials. Then He went to Hogwarts where Arson, and Savannah were currently living. They were all very quiet, and crept through Hogwarts all the time. They soon got to know all of the teachers, and staff. They read many of the Hogwarts books in the library, and got to know the magical world very soon.
And before they knew it, it was September 1st and they went to Kings cross station.....
~~~~~*****~~~~~
"Ye know we know 'ow ta' get ta' the trains ourselves. Sirius tol'ed us 'ow." Harry said.
"I know," said Dumbledore, "I just want to make sure you actually get there." He continued looking at Savannah the most.
"What? I never said anything about running away," she defended herself.
"AWWW ye just blew it, Sav, ye know tha' 'hen ye deny it, it usually means ya di' it." Harry said smirking.,
"Harry, SHUTUP, you know that you're real lucky that somebody, of adult nature, is sitting in the car, because IF somebody, of adult nature, wasn't in here, you'd be on the ground whimpering. And that whimpering would just be from your head aching." She said severely.
Harry continued smirking,
"But ye kno' tha' aint really no threat, 'cos there is somebody of adult nature in the taxi cab. So..." Harry said, his smirking getting deeper. She looked at him and said
"Aint really no threat, is a double negative. Speak correctly if your going to be sarcastic." She said primly.
"No, cuz aint, aint even a word. Grammatically anywa'. So it WAS correct speakin'. 'Cept for the aint, and the wording, without the aint." Harry said. And then there was a shocked silence. "HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU KNOW THAT!!!!" exclaimed Arson dramatically.
"I may no' be the sharpest crayon in the box, bu' I still know some stuff." He said scowling, "and because I used to watc' 'Sesame Street' in St. Brutus's. He added as an after thought. Not expecting the sudden burst of laughter, which came from Savannah, "I..*laughter* can-can *more laughter* just see you *peels of laughter* singing the ABC RAP!!!!! *More laughter following for several more blocks*" That statement made EVERYBODY burst out laughing.
~The Train ride~
When Harry, Savannah, and Arson arrived at the train station they quickly found a car, and sat quietly. While the train started a boy with red hair came in a said,
"Can I sit here? Everywhere is full." With everyone saying yes, they all chatted for a while when another person came in, this time a young girl with frizzy, mouse brown hair.
"Have you seen a toad? A boy name Neville (SP?) lost one." She said very fast.
"No I 'aven't seen on' ave yer guy's?" Harry asked the rest of the car.
"Nope, but we'll help you look. I'm Savannah, that's Arson, that's Ron, and that's –" Savannah started but was quickly interrupted by Hermione saying "I know who you are," she exclaimed pointing at Harry, "your Harry Potter!" She finished.
"Get out" Ron said looking at Harry closely.
"Ya, so wha'?" Harry asked scowling, "gotta problem wit' tha'?" He asked intimidating.
"No, NO. There's nothing wrong with that, it just, its just, well your SO famous!" Exclaimed Ron, who found out right away not to get on Harry's bad side.
"Ya, well le' jus' drop it k?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, ok." Ron said quickly.
~After train ride~
When they got off the train, they were automatically greeted by Hagrid, the grounds keeper.
"Hey 'agrid" Harry yelled jovially. He and Hagrid had both taken a bonding to one another. The main reason being because they were common in many ways, their accent, and they both never knew their mother. However, Hagrid had had the wonderful chance of having a father. But soon Harry was ALWAYS around Hagrid, not that he was never around Sirius, he was, but they were very much so distant. Harry doesn't trust anybody, except for Savannah, Arson, and he put some trust into Hagrid. All in all Harry quite liked Hogwarts, and was ready for a fulfilling year.
~THE FEAST~
Professor McGonagall led Harry, and the rest of the first years to the middle of the great hall. And put an old hat on a stool, after having the hat magically wake up and a sing a very long song (which I am NOT typing cause, I don't wanna), Professor McGonagall called the first name.
"Hermione Granger," she said as a girl walked timidly up to the stool. But almost a second later she was placed in,
"GRYFFINDOR!"
McGonagall called many more....
"Hannah Abbott. (SP?)"
"HUFFLEPUFF"
"Ronald Weasley"
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Draco Malfoy!"
"SLYTHERIN"
"Arson Benson" (I forgot what I had for his last name sorry!)
"GRYFFINDOR"
3 more Slytherins, 4 Hufflepuffs, 1 Gyrffindors, and 6 Ravenclaws later, Savannah was called.
"Savannah Leonard"
And after a few minutes later she was called GRYFFINDOR!
Then, after the gut wrenching waiting, it was finally Harry's turn. Professor McGonagall called out,
"Harry Potter" and there was a gasp through the crowd, and one unasked question, 'will the boy who lived be placed the brave Gyrffindor, or maybe the humble, and loyal Hufflepuff, perhaps the smart Ravenclaw, but God- forbid the sly Slytherin? Harry met all the qualities; he was brave, humble, loyal, and very sly.
After about 15 minutes, which was a new record-the old one was 5 minutes, but that was only because the student was suppose to be a squib-the old hat, after being asked to, called out 'GYRFFINDOR!'
With an in-famous smirk he walked calmly to the Gryffindor table. All in all the teachers, as in Professor McGonagall, and Dumbledore, were very happy.
After getting to know everybody in the house, Harry suddenly felt very full. (With food, LOL) That precise minutes Dumbledore stood and said,
"Well now that your tummies are full, and your minds are sleepy, I think it is time that you all should hop on off to bed. But before you do, I have an announcement; please note that the forbidden forest is, as the name states, forbidden. Now OFF to bed!!" He said smiling.
