Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or any characters or places that show
up in the books. *a voice yells 'Not true!' out from under the bed* Shhh.
Fred, George, shut up!
Albus Dumbledor set the basket down on the doorstep of number 4, Privet Drive. "Good luck, Harry Potter," he whispered and disappeared around the corner. He had set down the baby Harry Potter in front of his only known relatives house, intending for him to be raised there. The elves disagreed.
A tall girl, she appeared to be 17, sneaked through the shadows. She hid behind the begonias under the window, peering out at the night around her. Lightning fast, she darted out and carefully grabbed the basket which held Harry Potter, Boy-Who-Lived, and sneaked down the street. Once she rounded the corner, she, the basket, and any traces that she or the boy where ever there disappeared.
******************
A piece of parchment hit Harry on the head. "Whats this?" he wondered. He knew it was wizarding mail, that much was obvious, he had spent time with the humans, but why was he getting something? He like humans enough, but he preferred the elves. He didn't have to hide anything from them. The only reason he knew any humans was Sirius and Remus. His only human friends. He unrolled the letter and read:
HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY
Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore (Order of Merlin, First class, Grand Sorc. Chf. Warlock, Supreme Mugwump,
International Confed. Of Wizards)
Dear Mr. Potter,
We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl by no later then 31 July.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall Deputy Headmistress
Harry sighed. Why would he, Harry Potter, raised by the elves, taught by the elves, and happy with the elves, want to go to Hogwarts? Sure, it was supposed to be the best magic school, but it was a human school. A school of humans. With wands. He hated the concept of wands. When he used elven magic he didn't need one. At one time Jade had tried to teach him some human, but he kept losing or breaking his wand. More often then not he'd forget he was supposed to use his wand and automatically use elven magic.
The graceful elf with long, blonde hair which had jade green tips was found sitting next to the pond wearing indigo blue jeans and a white tank top with a v-neck. "Onee-san!" he called his 'big sister' in Japanese.
Jade looked over to him and motioned for him to come quietly. Harry quietly came over, and saw a small white tiger cub in her arms, asleep. Harry smiled and sat down, showing Jade the letter. After she read it, she smiled, and mind messaged, :You don't want to go, huh?:
Harry grinned. :You know I hate wands and silly incantations.:
:But still, you should go. You have a knack for magic. Not many people are lucky enough to have the opportunity to learn both.:
:I still don't want to go.:
Suddenly a very cheerful voice popped into Harry and Jade's heads with a :Hey! What did I miss?:
:Not much, bro.: Jade told her brother Aiden. :Harry just got his acceptance letter.:
:Acceptance letter?:
:To Hogwarts, baka.:
:Oh. I think you should go, Harry.:
:You know I hate wands. Not to mention those silly incantations.:
:But Harry, you are a human. You should learn Human magic.:
:Ok, fine. I'll go. But if the entire school finds out about the elves because I forget to speak a human language or use human magic, it's your fault, Onii-san.: Aiden was bug brother.
:WHAT!: the scream roared through Harry's head. :Thats not fair! Thats your responsibility.:
:Thats one reason I don't want to go. I know I'll snap my wand, leave it in the dorms, have it but not use it, or just get pissed off and start spitting out elven.:
:I sorta agree with Harry, Aiden. Do remember I'm the Mage that tried to teach him. But one the other hand, Harry, what Aid's saying makes sense for once.:
:Hey!:
:Well It's true. You normally make no sense.: Harry and Jade said at once.
:You usually give us something like "Mars is certainly bright tonight.":
Aiden looked stupid. :Well. its the middle of the day.:
:Never stopped you before. What was it a week ago? Right. I ask "anything happening?" and you reply, "Saturn seems to be blocking Mars. How does that work?" I do believe that it was just after lunch.:
:And just yesterday it was "Pluto is unusually cold today" How do you know this I ask?:
:Ermm..: and Aiden put his mental walls up. Harry laughed.
"Well, I'll go send an owl off." Harry said, breaking the silence which had said a lot more then most humans would realize.
***********************************
Harry, Jade and Aiden walked along the streets of Diagon Ally. Jade and Aiden were in a human disguise, of coarse. They had just walked in when they past a group of red-heads.
"Look Harry! There's one positive side to going to Hogwarts! Look at all the cute guys!" Jade said, pointing at the two identical red-heads.
Harry looked over. "hmm. I dunno." he replied, looking at them. He looked around, and saw a boy about his height, with platinum blond hair. "Him, on the other hand."
Aiden sighed. :Honestly. Sometimes your so embarrassing.:
Harry reached up and turned Aiden's head. "Don't tell me you don't think the same when you see him, Onii-san."
Aiden looked, and sighed. "You know I dislike blondes. Too many Underhill. But that one is kind of cute. Looks Scottish."
Laughing, Harry pulled out his list. "And our first stop.. Appears to be the same as his. What luck." He said, looking at the boy he had seen earlier.
"Hey, Harry, We'll go get your books, k?" Jade said, seeing the twins walk into the bookstore with their little brother. Harry nodded, laughing slightly.
Alone, he walked into Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions and had to stand in line, because of the crowd.
"Hello. Are you going to Hogwarts too?" the platinum blond boy asked.
:and he talks to me first. Any luck over there?: Harry asked his guardians.
:no.: Jade noted dully. :They appear to be getting 3rd year books.:
:You could always go for the "Oh, I'm lost" act. That works well.: Aiden replied, cheerful as normal.
"Yeah." Harry replied to the boy, not even pausing for a moment to talk to his guardians.
"The names Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." the boy said.
"My names Harry Potter. Pleased to meet you," the raven haired boy replied. :Names Draco. Draco Malfoy. hmmm. cute name, ya think?:
:They're the Weasley twins. Fred and George. I just got myself a tour of Diagon Ally.: Jade supplied.
:Good for you.: Harry replied as the sound of Aiden's laughter rang through Harry's head.
:told ya it would work.:
Harry snickered as he saw Jade pass, escorted by Fred and George, and heard Aiden groan. Draco raised an eyebrow. "whats funny, Potter?" he asked, curiously.
"Oh, just noticing how quickly my friend can pick up a date. Even if it is just a tour of a not-so-strange place," he rushed out.
"Hardly surprising. She is extremely cute." Draco said, watching Jade walk past. Turning his back on the window, Harry muttered a few curses under his breath, which, surprisingly, were in English. :Extremely cute. Thats what he said about you. and you said yourself he was a little young for you.:
:Aww, ickle Harrykins, jealous his big sister?:
