Chapter 2
"What!?!?!?" Mrs. Weasley shouted.
"Ron, where's Harry?", Hermione asked anxiously.
"Everyone calm down!" Mr. Weasley yelled.
Everyone stopped shouting and looked at Mr. Weasley. They were all
very shocked considering Mr. Weasley never raised his voice, unless
he thought something was terribly wrong.
"Now listen, Ron where is Harry now?"
"He's in The Healer Hospital's emergency room."
"Okay then, we'll run to Florish & Blotts and use Floo powder in their
fireplace to get there, now c'mon!"
Mr. Weasley started running and the others followed. Everyone knew
it was dangerous for Harry to be alone with a stranger. They had to
get to him.
"Oh God", Hermione yelled to Ginny, "What if he's not okay!?!?!"
Hermione stopped and dropped to her knees. Ron turned around, saw
her and ran back. He told Ginny to run on and tell their Dad to leave
some Floo powder behind for them. Ginny ran off and Ron knelt down
beside Hermione.
He took her in his arms and looked at her.
"Hermione, everything will be fine, but we need to get to Harry. If
something has happened.....He needs us there. Now c'mon okay?", he
said as he took his hand and placed it under her chin. He wiped the
tears off of her face and they both rose.
"Okay Ron.... but we must hurry up... I hope he's okay...", Hermione
said.
They started to run and made there way to Florish & Blotts.
"Dudley, sweetheart, my little duddlers, calm down." , Aunt Petunia
said.
"He won't get away with it, the little freak with his magical hosh tosh,
he will be punished!", Uncle Vernon yelled.
Harry was on the staircase listening in on every word. He had no idea
how he would get out of this one. Dobby had paid Harry another visit
and of course had left things horrible for Harry. The last time Dobby
visited, he had tried to pet Hedwig. And owls didn't like house
elves..... at all. So as soon as Dobby touched her, she went nuts! And
of course Dobby had conveniently left Harry's bedroom door open.
Hedwig had flown out of Harry's bedroom and into his aunt and uncle's
bedroom. Aunt Petunia had been curling her hair and Uncle Vernon
was shaving. Hedwig flew into Aunt Petunia and caused her to burn
herself straight across her face. And with all the commotion, Uncle
Vernon cut his face. After Dobby's departure, Harry was yelled at for
two hours straight. Then Hedwig was put in her cage and a lock was
put on the door of it. Harry had tried to break the lock, but since he
couldn't use magic it was hopeless. Another lock, along with the four
already there, were put on Harry's door and he was locked in there for
over half the summer.
This had all happened last year and Harry had been expecting a visit
from that house elf any day now. And finally Dobby showed up.
"Harry Potter, oh Harry Potter how nice to see you!", Dobby said in
delight.
"It's nice to see you, too", Harry muttered.
"Dobby was working in the kitchen at Hogwarts, being a good elf, and
I thought, I haven't seen Harry Potter, no I haven't. So I'm here.",
Dobby said excitedly.
"Yes, I was umm, looking forward to your visit", Harry lied.
"You were? Good, good, Dobby is pleased, Mr. Potter. Oh I can't wait
for you to come to Hogwarts, to see all the children and to cook!!! Oh
Dobby loves to cook! Winky's still sad. She cries at night.. and we
have a new room! It's a surprise though, Dobby can't tell you about it,
no, no Dobby can't! It's so big and... BAD DOBBY! BAD, BAD, BAD!!".
Dobby grabbed the closest thing to him, which happened to be Harry's
new model of a Firebolt 2002 and started hitting himself in the head
with it.
" Dobby! Stop! I didn't hear anything, Dobby. Honest!", Harry said
reassuringly to Dobby. Dobby stopped and looked up at Harry.
" You sure, Mr. Potter, Harry Potter is sure?"
"I'm sure, I didn't hear a thing".
At that, Dobby put the Firebolt model down and started to talk again,
" Dobby must tell you of his summer then! First I cleaned up the
kitchen and then I wrecked it... but on accident!!! Then Dobby had to
clean again....." Harry's mind trailed off. He started to think about
Winky. It was his fault that Winky no longer had a home other than
Hogwarts. But it was best for her, even if she couldn't understand
that. He'd have to make it up to her... but how? He'd get an idea from
Hermione. After all, she loved house elves. And the new room... what
kind of room could it be? Well if the teachers don't show them, then
Harry and Ron will go out one night and find it. Harry looked at the
trunk next to his bed. He thought of what was in it. His invisibility
cloak, his school books, his wand... oh his wand.. and some other
stuff. But the new room...
"... and then Winky hit me on the head!!! Dobby had a lump on his
head for a week!!" Dobby looked at Harry.
"Oh umm well", Harry thought of something to say, "I'm sure Winky
didn't mean anything by it." Harry had no idea what they were talking
about.
"Oh yes she did, here I'll show you what she did".
"NO, Dobby that's quite alright...."
BAM
Dobby had grabbed a beat up bat that Harry had in his room and was
hitting the walls and the door with it.
"That's how hard she hit me!!! No, it was more like this", and it went
on and on. Then Dudley, being the nosey Muggle he was, opened up
Harry's door at the exact moment Dobby was aiming for the back of
the door and hit Dudley on his right leg.
"Ahhhhh", Dudley screamed, "Mummy!!!! Daddy!!!". Tears were
streaming down his face. He was on the floor holding his leg and
screaming and yelling in agony.
"HARRY POTTER GET THAT.. THAT THING OUT OF THIS HOUSE
NOW!", Uncle Vernon screamed pointing to Dobby.
Dobby vanished. Harry knew he was in for it now. The door was
slammed and Harry was locked in his room, only Uncle Vernon hadn't
locked any of the locks because of his concern for Dudley. And that's
how Harry got to be on the staircase.
"Vernon we need to take him to the hospital, his leg is so swolen, I've
never seen it this big!" Aunt Petunia said in concern.
Ha! Harry thought, Dudley's leg is always big, he's so fat!
"Ok, Ok, but what are we going to do with that... that boy!"
Harry wasn't ready for a lecture, so before Uncle Vernon could come
after Harry, he ran down the steps, took a quick look at Dudley and
ran outside and down Privet Drive. After Harry thought he had gotten
far enough away from the Dursley's house, he stopped and sat down
to catch his breath.
"Dudley's leg wasn't swolen", Harry whispered to himself, "it's the
same size as it always is. He's fine. He's faking it to get me in trouble.
I can't go back there. No, I have to go back, Hedwig is there, and all
my stuff. Oh I wish Sirius was here, if only he wasn't in hiding. Then I
could just leave here and never look back. I'd live with Sirius and
everything would be great... but no."
Harry thought about it and had realized that he hadn't heard from
Sirius in a long time. Harry hoped he was okay.
Harry heard a snap behind him. He turned around as quick as he could
and there it was. The most hideous thing he had ever seen. It was the
size of Hagrid and had greenish brown scaly skin. It had a big head
and one eye. He stared at Harry and Harry stared back. It's nose
looked like it had been smashed inside it's mouth. You couldn't see
where it's mouth ended and it's nose began. It started to growl. Harry
got up enough courage to stand up. The monster didn't move. Then
something made them both turn. Dudley was running down the street
yelling at Harry. Harry wanted to scream. Scream with all his might, to
warn Dudley not to come over there. He opened his mouth but no
sound came out. The monster looked back at him and opened it's
mouth. The inside of it's mouth scared Harry more than its body.
There were sharp pointy things on it's tongue. They looked like
needles, similar to a porcupine's back but much sharper and longer. It
let its tongue out and it almost reached to the ground. Dudley was
almost to them both. Harry started to breathe really hard, he didn't
know what to do. In his mind it seemed so simple to just lift up one
foot and start running, but what about Dudley. He tried again to
speak,
"Dudley run away!" Harry did it. He warned Dudley, but Dudley didn't
listen. He didn't see the monster.
" ARGH!", the monster let out. Its breath alone almost made Harry
faint. His knees were growing weaker and weaker. He started to
sweat. The monster stepped closer to Harry. Harry tried to move and
fell. Dudley ran up right in front of the monster. Dudley's back was to
it and he didn't know it was there. He started to kick Harry and yelled
at him. Harry saw it's tongue rise up over Dudley. Harry screamed,
"Dudley watch out!!", but Dudley didn't listen to him.
Harry tried to kick Dudley over but he was much too heavy. The
tongue stopped rising and the monsters' stubby arms reached out and
wrapped themselves around Dudley. The tongue went around and
surrounded Dudley's entire head. Harry could no longer see any of
Dudley after the neck and up. The in a quick flash the tongue
squeezed Dudley's head. He started screaming as the needles pierced
his skin and went in to him. The blood rushed down Dudley's body like
little rivers and the monster snapped Dudley's neck.
