Chapter Four: Muggle School
Life at the Black house was always interesting. There was always someone magical popping in all the time for a chat and to bring some new present to Harry they had gotten for him. Harry could never work out why strange wizards and witches he had never met before would drop in for a cupper with Sirius and bring Harry a present and then he'd never see them again. Five years later Harry was sitting at the kitchen table learning to write his name. With a swish Fred and George tumbled out of the fireplace. They were giggling madly. They had to quickly roll out of the way for Percy. Another swish and out came Molly with Ginny. After them came Arthur and Ron then Bill and Charlie. "Ronnie, Ronnie." Said Harry. "Harrie, Harrie." Yelled Ron and they tackled each other. The commotion brought Sirius sweeping into the room. "I was wondering when you lot would get here. Albus should be here soon." Said Sirius. "How about you kids go upstairs and play. Bill, Charlie you keep an eye on the twins." Said Molly. "Yes mom." After all the kids had left the room Arthur and Molly joined Sirius at the table. Just Dumbledore appeared behind Molly. "So glad you could make it Molly, Arthur." Said Dumbledore. "My pleasure." Said Molly. "So Sirius, we know this day was coming for alone time, it's time to tell Harry about going to school, Muggle School." Said Dumbledore. "But I can teach him. He doesn't need to go." Said Sirius. "You know it's for the best Sirius. He'll get to make friends and learn to interact with other children his own age. And besides Molly has agreed to let Ron go to Muggle School and the school I have picked has got a witch that is going this year too." Said Dumbledore. "I guess it is for Harry. I'll just call him done." Said Sirius. Walking over to the door and calling upstairs. "Call Ron too." Said Arthur.
The boys bounded down the stairs two at a time seeing who could make the most noise. "Come on boys come in here and sit down." Molly called them. They sat down at the table. "Harry, dear, Sirius, Dumbledore, and I have been talking and we think it's a good idea for you to go to a Muggle school." Said Molly. "What? Can't Sirius teach me? I wont have any friends," said Harry in a high-toned worrying voice. "Don't worry about that Ron will be going with you." Said Sirius. "What I'm going to a Muggle school? But that's not fair why should I be punished because you want to send Harry." Ron complained. "Why don't Fred and George have to go?" "Because they would destroy the school, you know how they are." Said Arthur. "But we are wizards mom, we will be the only wizards." Said Fred. "Well we have selected this school because you wont be the only two wizards there. There are several Muggle-born children that are magic. We try to keep you in the same school, to keep you all under control." Said Dumbledore. "Oh so there is going to be more of us there." Said Harry in his 'why didn't you say so' voice. He looked at Ron smiled and winked. They both looked up at Dumbledore. "Okay we'll go." They chorused together. "Can we go now?" Ron said with eagerness in his voice. When Molly nodded her head yes, they shot out of the room to tell Fred and George. "Why does it feel like we have sent the likes of Fred and George onto the school." Said Arthur, but before anyone could answer Fred and George tumbled into the kitchen. "No fair" said Fred "Why do they get to go?" said George. "You two would be too hard to control." Said Molly. "Like Ron and Harry would be any different." Said Fred. Arthur gave a small smile and a nod in agreement, that Fred was probably right.
The next week was spent buying uniforms, bags, and other school supplies. Sirius got his cousin Andromeda to help him buy the Muggle school supplies. Molly took Charlie, Bill and Tonks to Diagon Ally for their stuff.
Sirius woke up late. He looked at the clock and almost swore, he dived out of bed screaming 'wake up Harry we're late' all the way to Harry's room. He pushed the door open and Harry's bed was empty. Sirius rushed down to the kitchen to find Harry fully dressed eating his fruit loops. "Why didn't you wake me?" Sirius queried. "I was going to wake you when it was time to go." Said Harry innocently. "Have you packed your lunch?" "Check." Said Harry smiling. "Got your little lunch?" "Check." "Bag packed?" "Check." "Teeth brushed?" "I'm still eating." Said Harry with a mouth full of cereal. "Well hurry Arthur will be here." Said Sirius. Harry scoffed down the last of his breakfast and bolted upstairs. The doorbell rang, but Harry ignored it and kept running. Sirius walked up to the door and opened it. Four kids nearly knock Sirius over on their way in. "What's with all the kids?" said Sirius. "Oh, dropping them off at the train station." Said Arthur. "That is after we take the boys to school." "Hurry up Harry we're going," said Sirius. "Tonks, Bill, Charlie, get back in the car." Said Arthur as Harry flew down the stairs around the corner and straight into Tonks, who had bright green hair today. They all piled into the car. They finally started to school after they sorted out who wanted to sit where. When they arrived Sirius stayed in the car with the three Hogwarts students while Arthur took Harry and Ron to the office to enrol. From there he took them to their classroom. On the way there they saw Remus. "Uncle Mooney, what are you doing here?" said Harry. "Lets just say Harry for the next six years I'm the caretaker. That's taking care of you and Ron. And the rest of them." Said Remus. "You know who the others are?" said Ron with a small smirk. "Um... ah... No." said Remus. "Oh yes you do." Said Harry. "Quick off to class or you'll be late." Said Arthur guiding them to class. Once they walked into the classroom Arthur waved goodbye and left. "I'm Miss. Winters. The first thing we will have is getting to know each other time." She said. "This will help you choose who you will sit with for the rest of the year." With these words everybody started chatting, and mingling. Harry and Ron went and sat at the table in the back corner. Two other boys who looked very uncomfortable edged to the back off the room and bumped into the each other. One girl with bushy hair and bucked teeth was trying to organize the other children into groups. But no one was paying attention to her. The two boys that had bumped into each other earlier walked over to Ron and Harry. "Can we be in your group?" asked the dark skinned kid. "Sure." Said Harry. "I'm Harry, this is Ron." "Dean." The one who asked? "Neville." Said the other boy. They sat down with Ron and Harry. After half an hour was up Miss. Winters cleared her throat. "Can we please sit down in our group?" Everyone sat down except the bushy hair girl. The only place was with Harry, Ron, Neville and Dean. Ron groaned as Hermione came and sat down. "I'm Hermione Granger, who are you?" she said in her bossy tone. "Dean Thomas." "Ron Weasley." Neville's eyes widened but nobody noticed. "Harry Potter." Neville fell off his chair. As he climbed off the floor he spoke. "I'm Neville Longbottom." Harry and Ron looked at him. "Oh my goodness, you're a ... um...." "You are too." Said Neville. Dean and Hermione looked at each other. "What are you going on about?" said Hermione. "Our parents... um... work at the same place." Said Ron. "Did." Said Harry and Neville together. "Yeah. They did work together." Said Ron.
On the way out to little lunch, Ron patted Hermione on the back. "What was that for?" snapped Hermione. "Dean pushed me I bumped into you." He lied. Dean nodded stupidly. After little lunch Hermione came in to the classroom with her eyes puffy. "Hermione, what's wrong?" Neville asked curiously. "Everyone kept coming up to me and saying I was bossy." She started crying again, as Ron snuck around her and removed the 'tell me I'm bossy' sign with a bit of guilt. "Look, 'Mione it's nothing to worry about. Just hit Ron and you'll feel better." Said Harry. "What?" sniffed Hermione. "It works for me." Said Harry shrugging his shoulders. "See." He punched Ron in the arm. "Hey no fair." Said Ron. Hermione laughed.
Their first lunchtime was also eventful. The four boys found an area to call their own. Remus had visited to say hi. And just as the play bell rung a group of second years were picking on Hermione. So Harry and Ron followed by Dean and Neville walked over there like they meant business. "Leave her alone." Yelled Dean. "And who is going to make us." Said the leader of the gang named Alex. "We're going to." Said Ron. "Oh I'm scare of a group of kindies." Said a boy behind Alex. "So you should be." Said Harry. One boy pushed Hermione to the ground. While another pushed Dean who fell into Neville. All of a sudden the boy who pushed Dean punched him self in the face. "What are you doing?" said Alex. Then the boy punched Alex. Before Neville had got off the ground Remus had appeared from nowhere. "What is going on?" "Um... well that boy pushed Hermione," said Harry pointing to the boy that did it. "Then that boy pushed Dean into Neville." He pointed to the boy who did that. "Then he started punching him self. Then he started punching him." He said pointing to Alex. "Okay you guys leave." Said Remus. They left he rounded on Harry, Neville and Ron. "What happened?" "I didn't do it." Said Harry. "Me neither." Said Ron. "Don't look at me I was under Dean." Said Neville. With out hesitating Remus looked at Hermione. "What ever it is I didn't do it." Said Hermione. Remus looked to Dean. "What I didn't do anything. I thought it but how could I do it." Said Dean in his defence. Harry though 'but he did do it.' He looked to Ron and Neville, with the expression of 'we need to talk.' Remus took them to class to explain why they were late.
When the bell rung for home time Ron and Harry asked Neville if he wanted to go over to Harry's house to play. So when Neville's grandmother came to pick him they asked if he could come over. She thought it would be an excellent idea. Remus told the boys he would be taking them home, because of his new job at the school he would be living with Sirius and Harry. When the got home the boys ran up to Harry's room to talk. When they walked through the door the first thing said was. "Did you see what Dean did?" "Yes, Nev we were all there." Said Harry. "He's a wizard too, he would have to be. And did you see the look that Uncle Mooney gave 'Mione." Said Ron. "Yeah, it looked like he thought she did it. So she would have to be a witch." Said Neville. "But I don't think they know, must be Muggle-borns." Said Harry. Just then a knocked came at the door. "Snack." Came Sirius's voice. "Come in Uncle Padfoot." Said Ron. Sirius came in. "Mooney was telling me about your first day." "Yeah we've manage to get a gang of wizards and witch." Said Harry. "Well I didn't except it to take that long, us kind tend to be attracted to each other." Said Sirius. "Yes. We were right." Said Ron. "You can't tell them." Said Sirius with seriousness. "They're not like you. They have to find out for them selves, or wait for their letter to tell them." "Okay, we promise we won't tell them." Said the three boys together.
More mischief insured, sorry for the long wait. Tried harder for the fifth chapter. You can read other creations by, Phoenix Evans (That's me), The Twelve and Someday. Just4laughs (That's mum) Smiling Snape. PLEASE REVIEW. And thanks to those who have reviewed. (Much appreciate)
