Alright. I wish I got some more reviews from you people who have taken the time to read my story. All well. Have fun.
Chapter 3 Preparation, Muggle Style.
When Harry awoke in the morning several days after his trip to Headquarters. He searched the nights stand for his glasses. He placed them on his face and glanced at the clock 6:30. He got up and put on the closest pair of shorts that fit. He went outside and started to jog around the neighborhood.
When Harry came back from the jog he took off his sweat soaked clothes and hopped into the shower. After a nice hot shower he stepped out, wrapped a towel around his waist and proceeded to his bedroom.
As he finished changing he heard "crack." Harry looked to the right off him and saw Remus Lupin standing there. He pulled out his wand. "Who taught me how to cast a Patronus?" Harry asked quickly.
Remus chuckled "I did" he answered. "Really Harry you'd make Moody proud."
"Just what I always wanted too." Harry joked. "Why are you here Moony?"
Remus smiled at Harrys usage of his nickname. "I'm here to set some more wards here. You know around the house and this room."
"Do the Dursleys know?" Harry questioned.
"They have no clue" Remus answered.
Harry smiled. "Well I was just about to leave. So I guess I'll see you later," Harry said.
"I might be as Mrs. Figgs when you get back." Remus supplied.
Harry nodded. He walked out of the house and traveled to a gym/dojo a couple of blocks away. He asked if he could take some fighting and defense classes. Harry signed up for karate, kick boxing and kung fu.
"Okay that will be $200(I don't know the British currency) for the two months of classes you will be taking for each subject. That will be $600 total."
"Can I pay when I start my classes?" Harry asked.
"Yes but you can't start classes until you pay. Karate is on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the afternoon at 4. That started this week. Kick boxing is on Wednesday mornings at 9 and Sunday evenings at 6. That starts tomorrow. And Kung Fu is on Wednesday evenings at 5 and Friday afternoons at 4. That starts next this Friday." She went on to explain that when he paid he would get the equipment needed and the basics of what he would do.
When Harry was on his way home he spotted something in a window that he wanted. 'I have to have that!' Harry thought. He raced home after he finished gazing at the object.
When Harry arrived on Privet Drive he went to Ms. Figgs. Remus was there sitting at the table drinking tea.(British people and their tea!) "Remus would you be able to exchange some galleons into about $1200 for me?" Harry asked.
"Why do you need that much?"
"Well $600 is for the 3 classes I signed up for and $600 is for something I really, really want." Harry explained.
"When do you need it by?" Remus asked with a sigh.
"Tomorrow please" Harry said.
"I'll be back tomorrow around 8 alright?"
"Alright Remus. See you then" Harry waved good bye as he walked out of the house and to Number 4.
Right when he walked in his Uncle bellowed "Boy get in the kitchen!" Harry continued into the kitchen. "Since you won't be doing your regular chores around here and since we are being forced to put up with you, you will be doing your Aunt a favor. She wants a pond put in the front yard. You'll be handling it you got me?"
"Fine I'll do it but, I have classes I'm taking so I won't be here sometimes." Harry explained.
"Doesn't matter to me as long as I don't have to pay for it and you finish the pond!" His Uncle said in a tone of voice that said the discussion was over.
Harry trudged upstairs and too his room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day Harry woke up at 6:30 again. He went for his jog and took a shower. It was 7:30 when he was done. He had about 30 minutes till Moony came so he decided to do some sit ups. After ten minutes of that Harry collapsed on his bed for a rest. When Moony arrived he gave Harry the money.
Harry offered to make Moony some breakfast since his relatives wouldn't be up for a while and he didn't feel like eating alone. When they finished Moony escorted Harry to his kick boxing class. After he dropped off Harry, Moony went back to Headquarters.
After he paid for the classes and the class was over Harry raced to the store. His beauty was still sitting outside the store. He went in and purchased it and an amp. He also brought some sheet music to learn from.
He proceeded home as he struggled with the weight of the purchases. He ran into Dudley at the front door. He was just about to leave until he saw the brand new case and amp in his cousins hand.
"What is that?" he asked stupidly.
"This is a electric guitar and an amp" Harry explained slowly.
"Where did you get it?" Dudley question.
"I brought it at a store now if you excuse me I need to bring it up to my room. Besides I feel like I'm getting dumber by the minute talking to you." Harry raced as fast as he could up stairs and locked his door before Dudley fully comprehended what he said.
He picked up the guitar and practiced his guitar. He was learning pretty fast. "Another thing that comes naturally to me I guess' Harry thought.
Soon he heard crack and Professor Dumbledore was sitting there. "Hello Harry. He said with that twinkle in his eye."
"Hello Professor how may I help you?"
"Yes now about your request for you and your friends to use magic. I managed to convince the Wizengamot to allow you guys to use magic. However yours is going to be restricted to your rooms. The others is restricted to their houses. Headquarters has the same thing." Dumbledore explained.
"Thank you sir" Harry said.
"No problem Harry. Now I have arranged for you to be able to go to Diagon Alley tomorrow with Nymphadora . She has also forced the idea of you getting some decent clothes on me. So you will also be going into Muggle London also." Dumbledore said. "Now I'm sorry I can't stay but I have other things to do"
"Good bye Professor" Harry said as Dumbledore apparated.
