Harry Potter and the Preparation
Chapter 2
"Yes" said Harry Potter. His brown hair was unbrushed, his tan shirt was now brown and his blue jeans were stained green. He looked over to his Aunt Petunia. She had lost some weight, dyed her hair auburn and now wore contacts. She was wearing a purple dress with embroidered flowers along the hem and the sleeves. "You are going to be at home alone on the 16th. In other words, tomorrow," said his aunt Petunia in a hurry, "We are going to visit Uncle Henry and Aunty Sue". Harry looked around the room in shock, he had never been allowed home alone, without him being locked in his room, that is. Then his eyes fell upon his uncle and he was not happy, but went along with it, due to the threats for the other wizards at the beginning of the summer, or so Harry suspected. His uncle had gained weight. He looked like an over ripe potato width-wise and his face was the shape of a tomato about to burst. His clothes he wore were a pair of denim jeans, white socks, white shirt, and blue necktie. Harry was in a state of superb happiness that turned to worry as quickly as you can change your channel on a TV set. He remembered the letter. Harry thought a moment and scuffed his feet against the green tiled floor before he thought of what to say. Then finally Harry said, "Um, you guys need to stay home tomorrow, I just got a letter". Harry paused for a moment, and before his uncle Vernon (who was now purple faced) could pipe in, continued. "Um, some friends of mine, from school (Uncle Vernon turned from a deep purple to white in an instant) have just sent me a letter that said they are going to pick me up tomorrow. Her parents are dentists," added Harry hopefully. "Harry" said Aunt Petunia strangely as though she had only a spark of patience left and was about to continue when the telephone rang. She walked over to the other side of the kitchen. Harry looked around, at the green walls, the white border and Aunt Petunia listening to someone over the phone. "Uhm" said Aunt Petunia and every now and then would say, "Definitely," or "No, not at all," and sometimes even "I would do the same," and then she hung up looking disappointed. "Vernon, honey, we are going to be staying home tomorrow. Sue just canceled, Jake is sick with the flu," said Aunt Petunia. 'Sick' thought Harry, 'Ya, right'. "Well, I guess are staying", said Aunt Petunia sweetly. Lately Aunt Petunia had been a lot nicer to Harry. It might have been that she finally realized that Harry hadn't asked to be a wizard, but Harry didn't think that was it. 'I wonder why Aunt Petunia hates wizards so much,' Harry thought to himself as he walked up the first set of stairs. Then he paused a moment and looked into Dudleys bedroom. 'Wow,' thought Harry, 'It's clean, what a nice change. Oh no!' Harry had just looked at the calendar on the wall. Dudley was coming home tomorrow. Poor Hermione! She has to meet him! Then he ran up to his bedroom and collapsed in his bed.
Harry looked up at the ceiling and sighed. He lay there for several minutes before he realized Dudley was coming home today. Harry became very tense and slowly fell asleep to the quiet hoots of the owls.
"Bang, Boom" went the thunder outside Harry's window. He had been sitting up in bed all day, thinking. Why didn't Sirius come back from the Veil of Doom, or so Harry renamed the place Sirius was last seen. He still remembered the sight of his godfather falling, and the snickers from the Slytherin as he got off the train. Every week he saw it happen again and again. Finally, after hours of thinking about that horrid moment, he jumped out of bed, went into his army trunk and took out a book. It was a pale blue with green stains on it. It was called:
The Way to Yourself
By Natily Babole
(Several techniques found in the Circle of Magic books)
Harry opened to the index and looked down the row.
About Natily Babole Pg. 2 The theory of soul enrichment Pg. 12 How to relax Pg. 24 How to block out certain things Pg 34 How to keep people out of your mind Pg 56 How to do things as well as block Pg. 72 How you know it works Pg 85 Glossary Pg 97 How people liked the product Pg 170
Harry turned to page 83. The book was made by Muggles but amazingly, worked! This method didn't need magic. All you had to do was concentrate. This way Harry could sense what was going on if his friends were truly captured by Voldemort and could block him the rest of the time.
Clear your mind. Then walk around the room. Good, now do another activity, like read a book. (Harry could do all this already; he just wanted to see if he needed to learn anything else) Now, breathe in counting to 7 and then breath out counting to seven in your head. Now that you have achieved this we will talk about how to do something in your head and not touch the object that you are using. (This Harry didn't know how to do. But would the magic be sensed by the Ministry of Magic?) Good, now. Focus on one small object, a face, or pendant. That's good, now slowly turn it into a book and turn the page in the book. Now read. (Harry did so and when he opened his eyes he had read a page! 'The ministry better know about this,' thought Harry.) Don't try to do evil with this talent, it is impossible; it only works with simple tasks. And you can't write this way either.
That was how the chapter ended. 'Wow' thought Harry, 'the Ministry didn't and couldn't notice." If it had he would have gotten a letter. The Ministry had found a way to find out if someone was breaking the law faster. He practiced for hours before it was time to get up and ready. He brushed his hair, changed into a similar outfit as the day before, and made his bed. Then he let out his guest owl and packed his bags. He was done in about an hour. Then he lugged his stuff downstairs.
At the end of the staircase he saw Dudley come into his home. He was in good shape. He had fortunately lost some weight. When Harry had finally finished lugging the suitcase down stairs Dudley chose to say "Hi". Dudley punched Harry in the arm and went to change into clean clothes. (I won't say how the conversation went or mention the smug look on Dudleys face as he pulled 20 bucks from his pocket). Uncle Vernon was dressed his best, in a full suit. Aunt Petunia wore a pink flowy dress and pearl earrings. After several hours of waiting (which were very unpleasant for Harry) for the time to go, the doorbell rang. Harry went to answer the door and he saw.
Read and review. Of course flamers excepted. Just tell me was it: Dull and had little detail Very interesting and I need to upload fast Mildly interesting, need to change quite a bit Will expect several flamers Average
