Jack Wilde- This isn't a Harry /Bellatrix fic at all if that is what you are thinking. I just thought it would add a twist plus barely any stories have such a thing. The thing with Dumbledore is that I don't make him look senile or anything. He wants to shelter Harry from the war until his showdown with Voldemort. Harry wants to be an active part of this war. They clash a lot on their views of how Harry should participate in the war. Dumbledore is just being to protective and caring, something Harry doesn't want, not senile.
Zombie Wolf- How bout this, 2 more chapters, including this one, with the flash back and then I'll go back to normal. I just need to explain Harry's relationship with Ginny and add a couple of things here or there. You are right, a lot of people are getting confused with the flashback thing. The next two chapters will be pure flashback and then back to normal. I promise. Scouts honor.
Just felt like mentioning my favorite characters-Hagrid, Sirius and Remus are my three favorites. I like Harry but sometimes he gets a little annoying, don't know why though. I like Ron to but he can be a ass every now and then. I like Neville but he needs to gain some confidence. Professor Flitwick is cool but we don't get to read much about him. I don't like Hermione a lot but I think Emily Watson is pretty.
Chapter 24 Mama Hedwig
Flashback
Harry awoke the next day for Christmas. There was a dull throb where he broke his bones from the battle for Diagon Alley. He looked around his room after he put his glasses on. Hedwigs wasn't on her perch, like she usually was. Come to think of it he hadn't seen her in a while. He shrugged his shoulders. He walked to his window and looked outside.
A snow owl was flying into the attic. Hoping it was Hedwig, Harry ran to the attic door. He pushed it open and saw Ginny's snow owl, Chester, instead. The owl hooted before flying off behind an old dresser. Harry followed him and saw that behind there was a nest. Hedwig was sitting on the nest. Harry could see a couple of eggs in the nest.
Getting closer Harry counted 11 eggs in the nest. "Hedwig! Your going to be a mommy" Harry said proudly. 'So I'm gonna be like a grandad or something' Harry thought. He smiled at his first pet and second friend.
He poked his head out the door and screamed "Ginny and everyone else come to the attic quickly!"
There was a stampede of feet as Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Sirius, Remus, Aunt Michelle and Molly Weasly arrived.
"What happened Harry?" Sirius asked worried.
"Hedwig's gonna be a mom and Chester a dad!" Harry told them. Ginny "awwed" and went to see the eggs. After a half an hour they went downstairs. Hagrid was in the kitchen.(It seems I have not really added Hagrid in a lot. Since he is one of my favorites characters I punished myself. The bruise around my eye will be a constant reminder of how cool Hagrid is and how dumb I was for forgetting him)
"Hagrid do you know anything about snow owls and breeding?" Harry asked him.
"Yes well the male owl flies above the female and..." Hagrid started.
"No Hagrid we're passed that. We need to know about the eggs and hatching" Harry said. "Hedwig has 11 eggs in her nest up in the attic" Harry explained.
"Oh well in that case. The eggs are laid at 2 day intervals. While the female incubates the male brings her food. Eggs hatch 32-34 days after being laid. When the first egg hatches the second one hatches two days later and it continues till all eggs are hatched, just like when they are laid.That leads to large age differences in nests with large clutch sizes. Young are covered in white down. Young begin to leave the nest after about 25 days, well before they can fly. Snow owls usually live 10 years in the wild and 35 years in captivity " Hagrid finished explaining.
"Thanks Hagrid" Harry said. All the Weasly's, except Percy, Sirius, Remus, Aunt Michelle, and Hagrid were the only ones at the house. Hermione left early in the morning to spend the rest of the holidays with her family. They ate their breakfast before walking off and doing some last minutes things. Lunch was served at 1:00 and everyone came down to eat. After lunch they moved into the sitting room and enjoyed each others company. Harry got to learn a lot about his parents from Sirius, Remus and Michelle.
At dinner Dumbledore, Tonks, Tonk's parents Ted and Andromeda and 'Mad Eye' Moody all came for the feast. It was a grand feast fit for several kings. Since Dobby was now working for Harry, as a Christmas present to the loyal house-elf, he thought it best that only the best foods be served for his master.
Soon it came time for presents. Harry got Dumbledore a pair of nice wool socks, one pair had dancing socks, the other had spinning in place Lemon Drops. A gift which confused many but Dumbledore greatly appreciated. He got Ron a ticket to a Chudley Cannon game during Easter break. He also had one so he could see the team his best mate has been rambling on about forever. He brought Hermione a book on Ancient Charms, since it was her best subject.
For the twins he gave them another investment, though not as much as last time. He got Mr. and Mrs. Weasly a house elf, it was a young one, child to two house elves at Hogwarts. He got Sirius a big screen t.v. and a cable hook up. It was Sirius's favorite muggle invention. Remus received several books by werewolfs. It was about how the werewolfs coped with society, politics and ways to make the transformations easier.
He purchased a charm bracelet for Ginny, shoes for Tonks that help make the feet more coordinated and earrings for his Aunt. He gave Bill a rare book on Ancient Egyptian curses and Charlie received a book on Dragons by a guy who animagus form was one. He got Hagrid a Drake, which was basically a small dragon.
In return Harry got a mini-Quidditch pitch from Ron. You could by players or teams and verse your friends. You decided which plays they choose, who the players pass to, etc. It was really hard to play but a hell of a lot of fun. Charlie got him the Chudley Cannons and a mini Harry Potter, to replace the Chudley Cannon seeker who was getting old. He said Ron told him it was Harry's favorite team. Bill got him the Hollyhead Harpies, that was Bills favorite team. "Strictly talent wise of course" Bill said grinning. Harry just grinned in return.
The twins gave him a package of their latest pranks. Mr. and Mrs. Weasly got him a hand on their clock. Hermione brought him a book on Dueling. Hagrid gave him a kitten, which Harry was a bit skeptic that it was a regular cat or weazle. He decided to name him Theseus, after the Greek hero who killed the king Minotaur. Tonks bought him a book on Disguising Oneself and Sirius got him a Launcher. It looked like a bazooka, except you could put snowballs, water balloons and several other things in it and shoot them at people. It really kicked bum.
(I guy told me in my other story I don't use words they do in Britian. So I've been trying to add them in, but sometimes American is so much better.)
Remus and Michelle gave him a nice magical amp for his guitar. Dumbledore gave him his very own pensieve. He told him not to use it to escape the past. Harry just nodded his head yes, even though he really had no clue what he was talking about.
The rest of the night was filled of jokes, laughter and talking. Soon everyone disappeared to their rooms for sleep. Harry was just about to leave when he was called back by Dumbledore. "Harry I need to talk to you"
Harry walked back and sat down in an armchair. "Harry the war is just beginning and already there have been several battles. Diagon Alley is lost and already the death toll for us is around 65. I have sent letters to many families who I consider trustworthy. I was wondering if they could have residence in Potter Manor. There are several with children who will be transporting to Hogwarts. They will becoming a day after New Years" Dumbledore explained.
"Of course sir" Harry replied. "How many sir? Will we need to start building houses?"
"No not yet at least. The Delacours are coming." 'Fleur's family?' Harry thought "The Flamels"
"I thought they died?" Harry said bewildered.
"Yes Nikolas and his wife did Harry, but when you live that old you are bound to have some children. In their case they had 12 kids but since so much time has passed now 5 great-great grandchildren and 14 great-great-great grandchildren are alive.
"Let's see there are also the Cortez's, the Lei's, the Chao's, the Munn's and several other families"
"Alright sir" Harry said. He got up and went to his room. When he pushed open the door he saw Ginny standing there. "What are you doing here Gin?" he asked.
"I didn't get to give you your Christmas present" she said as she walked towards him.
"Well what is it?" Harry asked, not knowing what was going on.
"Me" she whispered and she pressed her lips against his. Harry being totally surprised didn't do anything until he felt her pulling him towards the bed. They spent an hour kissing passionately before finally stopping and falling asleep.
Harry awoke to a prodding in his side. He opened his eyes and blinked a couple of times. A pretty face was smiling at him.
"Aren't you going to ask me something Harry Potter?" Ginny asked.
"Huh?" Harry said confused.
"About me and you" Ginny tried to explain. She sighed at Harry's bewildered expression. "You are suppose to ask me to be your girlfriend after what happened last night"
"I am?" Harry questioned. "Oh right of course!" he said after seeing Ginny's expression. "So Gin would you like to go out with me sometime?" he asked her.
"Yes!" she squealed throwing her arms around him. 'Girls are so confusing' Harry thought.
The Day After New Years
Harry stood on the little strip of land leading up to the gates of Potter Manor. Dumbledore would be arriving any minute now with the families. In his hand was a piece of paper with the address of Potter Manor written on it in Ron's untidy scrawl.
A big group of people appeared in front of him. " 'arry!" a French accented voice squealed. He was pulled into a hug by Fleur. Soon Gabrielle hugged him around his waist since he was a good two feet taller the her. She started Beauxbatons this school year. Beauxbatons starts a year earlier the Hogwarts does. The school year is a month shorter then Hogwarts.
Harry greeted the rest of them. He noticed that the Cotez's had a pretty girl around his age who kept blushing when ever he looked at her. Giving the piece of paper to Fleur he told her "Pass it around. Make sure everyone reads it!" He started to walk over to the gates.
When he turned back to face the families he saw many wore a confused expression. They could not see him anymore because they could not see the land he was walking on. The paper was passed around and everyone read it. He could see Dumbledore saying something. Then everyone looked at him.
He beckoned them forward and pushed open the gate. They quickly walked up the lawn and to the front doors. He pushed the doors open and showed them the map. "There are several of these throughout the house. These help you find your way around the manor" When he finished talking he walked up the stairs and to the third floor. "All these rooms are empty. Pick one you like. Up to four per room. Now I must be going"
Harry flooed to Number 12 Grimmauld Place. He went to his room and waved his wand around. Everything he needed for Hogwarts flew to his trunk. Tomorrow they would be leaving to go to Hogwarts again. Harry sighed wishing vacation would last a little longer. They had match against Ravenclaw coming up and for once in his life Harry wasn't up to the game.
Although it seemed to calm down, the house rivalries were still there between the usually friendly houses. Friends between houses barely talked. Sometimes fights would break out and the classrooms were always split in half.
The next morning and Harry found himself in the kitchen eating some toast. Hedwig would be staying here with Chester under the guidance of Mrs. Weasly who promised to owl him when they hatched. His trunk was by the stairs and Theseus was in his carrying cage next to his trunk. Ron was upstairs because he forgot to pack last night. Hermione was helping him while giving him a lecture about being prepared and how putting things off till the last minute was something idiots did. Harry could hear a 'thud thud' coming from the staircase so he guessed Ginny was finally awake.
He finished the toast, chugged his glass of milk and walked out the kitchen. Ginny was at the top of the stairs, sitting on her trunk with her arms crossed over her chest. "Does thy fair lady need some assistance?" Harry asked.
"Shut up and carry the trunk down" she told him.
"Yes milady" he said bowing. He walked up the stairs and lifter the trunk with his right arm. He wrapped his left around Ginny's waist and kissed her on the lips. H unwrapped his hand and descended the stairs. He plopped the trunk next to his and sat down on it. Ginny followed suit and sat down next to him. She leaned against him and Harry put his arm around her shoulder.
Ron and Hermione came down the stairs minutes later. Ron was carrying his trunk with his right arm and his eft was holding up a side of Hermione trunk. Hermione was using both her hands to carry the other side of her trunk.
"Hermione packed a whole fricking library in this thing!" Ron complained. They didn't get a chance to put the trunk down though because Mrs. Weasly, Sirius, Aunt Michelle, Remus and Mr. Weasly came out of the kitchen.
"The ministry car is waiting outside! Let's go come on!" Harry hoisted his and Ginny's trunks and walked out the door. He placed the trunks in the boot of the car. Harry gave Theseus to Hermione and she placed him inside the car.
"Can I ride my bike?" he asked hopefully.
"Absolutely not!" Mrs. Weasly said sternly.
"Please??? Sirius and Remus can come with me" he said
"Excellent idea Harry!" Sirius said. He ran inside and came back out. He placed the shrunken motorcycles on the ground and tapped them with his wand. They grew to the size of regular motorcycles. Harry did the same to his and three motorcycles similar in every way except paint jobs stood in the road.
Harry hoped on his and placed the black helmet on his head. Turning the key the black haired teenager revved the engine. The car pulled of the curb and started its journey to Kings Cross. The three motorcycles following closely. They arrived at the station, several minutes before the train was due to leave. So Harry grabbed Hermione's trunk, Ron his own, Ginny and Hermione took Ginny's and Sirius grabbed his. Aunt Michelle had Theseus and Mrs. Weasly had Crookshanks. The ran to the barrier between Platforms 9 and 10. Harry went through first, folloed by Ron, Ginny and Hermione, Sirius, Aunt Michelle, Mrs. Weasly, Remus and Mrs. Weasly.
They tossed the trunks on, place the cat carriers on top of the trunks and did their quick good-byes. Harry shrunk his motorcycle and jumped on the slowly moving train. They quickly found a unoccupied compartment and warily sat down. "That was a close call" Ron sighed.
"It's always a close call with us" Hermione stated. Harry just sighed and leaned back against the seat. He quickly fell asleep.
He was awoken a few hours later by Hermione panicked voice. "Why are we slowing down? We are still two hours away from Hogwarts"
Harry sat up immediately and looked out the window. He could see the Giants coming towards the train with Death Eaters farther behind.
"Ron get the D.A. members and go outside! Hermione and Ginny get the rest of the students out of the train to the other side! NOW!" They scrambled to due what Harry told them to.
The young mage rushed of the train to the giants. 'What works on giants?' he thought hurriedly.
'Come on think, think!' he berated himself. 'I got it! Bless Dudley and his movies!' He Remembered the beginning of the old Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, before he was kicked out of the livingroom and slapped by Uncle Vernon for sneaking around. When the D.A. arrived he told them to try to bind the feet of the giants so they can't move. The sky was beginning to darken, night was beginning to fall.
Harry ran forward, rolling out of the way of an incoming gigantic fist. He conjured a grappling hook attached to a peace of long, nice strong rope. He stabbed a tip of the grappling hook into the giants bare leg. "YEAOW!!!!!!!!!" the giant screamed, as the Earth shook. Harry ran around the giants legs, making sure to dodged the fist, trying to squash him. He made sure he kept count of how many circles he made '1...2...3...4...5...6' He pulled the rope tight as the ginat tried to kick him.
He was jerked backwards as the giant's foot tugged the rope. Harry ran faster around the giant. '7...8...9...10...11...12...13...14...15' Hoping that was enough Harry pulled as strong as he could on the rope in the direction of the train. Knowing he wasn't strong enough as a human, Harry changed into his griffin form. He extended his claws and took several steps forward, his claws digging into the ground. Soon the ground shook and a loud 'thump' could be heard. Harry turned his head and saw that the giant fell backwards ,on top of some Death Eaters.
Harry heard several more thumps and felt the Earth shake several more times as the D.A. took care of the other giants. For one group the giant fell on to the train. It crushed the last car and Harry heard several shrieks. Harry wasn't a religious person but he prayed to god that no students were hurt when that giant fell.
Harry sent several hexes and jinxes towards the advancing Death Eaters. "The Phoenix flies Harry!" he heard Ron shout.
'What?' he thought bewildered. 'Oh the Order of the Phoenix must be here!' And sure enough most of the Order came out of the train and some went around the end of it. Figuring they could handle the remaining Death Eaters and giants he called a retreat of the D.A.
They met where the students were gathered. 'Report" he said.
"Ernie's foot was crushed by a giant." Hannah exclaimed. "We need to get him to St. Mungo's." Harry picked up a big rock and turned it into a portkey. He gave the rock to Hannah. Her and Justin took hold of the rock, Ernie being held between them.
"Anyone else need to go?" he asked quickly.
"Anthony got kicked in the thigh and waist by one of the smaller giants" Ginny said. Terry Boot and Ron stepped forward and carefully lifted Anthony up. They both took hold of the portkey.
"Is that it?" he questioned. When no one answered he activated the portkey and the six were gone in an instant. "Alright. We're gonna search the car that was crushed to make sure no students were injured." Harry set off with the others closely following.
The giant there was struggling to get up. "Sono" Harry said pointing his wand at the giant. It yawned but still continued to thrash about. "Sono" Harry said again. The giant became more subdued and it quit struggling. It was still squirming so Harry said "Sono" again. This time the stopped moving, closed its eyes and went to sleep. "Wingardium Leviosa!" Harry said. He levitated the giant carefully out of the way.
Once it was out of the way the rest of the D.A. started to go through the wreckage. "Harry!" he heard Parvarti call out. Harry jogged over to her and looked at what she was pointing at. A 7th year Slytherin girl was crushed under the roof of the car.
"Anyone know her name?" Harry asked.
"I think it's something MacNair" Padma said.
"Do we no anything about her?" he questioned.
"Yeah she was suppose to get the mark this summer" Cassandra said. It was a good thing Harry got some friends in the Slytherin house. Harry levitated the roof off of her. Seamus walked forward and scooped her up in her arms. He carried the 7th year to a spot on the grass and set her down. Harry put his hand over her eyes and shut her eyelids.
Everyone sat or laid down on the grass. Soon Dumbledore came and told them to get on the train. Harry told him about Ron, Ernie, Hannah, Justin, Terry and Anthony. The last car was unhitched and the rest of the train took off. They arrived at Hogwarts shortly after.
The next morning Harry was woken up by cold water being poured on his head. "What the?" he spluttered siting up. Ron was standing over him with an empty bucket. "Why'd you do that for?" he asked him annoyed.
"Quidditch practice" Ron answered simply.
Harry looked at the clock '4:47' it read. "This early?" he questioned.
"Well it would of been earlier but you don't wake up for crap" Harry just groaned and pushed the covers off of himself.
Practices were hard that week. Ron wanted them prepared for the game against Ravenclaw. Harry would see Cho for the first time since the train ride to Hogwarts at the beginning of school. Harry was a little nervous. Even though the house rivalries settled down some they were still there.
When the morning of the match arrived all the Gryffindors were down at breakfast. The air was full of excitement. Harry was nibbling on some toast, to nervous to eat anything. Ron was eating some bacon while muttering to himself.
The time came for the team to leave and get ready. "Come on Harry, lets go" Ginny said. Harry got up and wrapped his hand in Ginny's. They walked to the locker rooms. The sky was cloudy and a small breeze was blowing. They got dressed in their uniforms and lined up by the door leading to the pitch.
"Well guys I guess good luck and kick arse" Ron said. Ron wasn't a good at speeches in case you couldn't tell.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the fourth game of the year, between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor!" Seamus said. "Now here are the Ravenclaw's! Chasers Goldstein, Davies and Bradley. Beaters Boot and Ranson, Keeper Johnson and their Seeker Chang!" The Ravenclaws, most Slytherins and some Hufflepuffs cheered.
"And now welcoming the best Quidditch team"the Gryffindors cheered in agreement, while the others booed. "Chasers Weasly, Bell and Lavery Beaters Longbottom and Monroe, Seeker Potter, and Captain and Keeper Weasly!" the Gryffindors, most Hufflepuffs and some Slytherins cheered.
"The balls are released. Their goes the bludgers, followed by the golden snitch. The captains shake hands and the Quaffle is thrown into the air! Lavery races forward and grabs the quaffle. She passes to Bell, who passes to Weasly. Weasly ducks the bludger sent at her by Boot. Oh Weasly passes the quaffle to Bell. She fakes left and scores! 10-0 Gryffindor!"
Harry was sitting on his broom and looking around. He wanted to end the game because Cho had already made two attempts to talk to him. His eyes were scanning the pitch quickly looking for any sign of gold.
He was barely focused on the game, dodging a bludger every now and then. The score was 50-50, Ravenclaw just tied it up. Something gold was glittering on the other side of the pitch. Harry started to slowly move over there, on eye on the snitch, one on Cho. When he was close enough he sped forward.
"Looks like Potter has seen the snitch! Chang, who is far behind tries to catch up. The snitch shoots to the Ravenclaw goal post, Potter hot on its tail. It does a U-turn around the middle post and Potter makes a sharp turn in order to keep up. He is gaining on it and yes! Potter has the snitch! 200-50 Gryffindor!"
The Gryffindors went wild. Their was a big party in The Room. Harry spent it dancing and talking with Ginny. Speaking of Ginny there was something she was doing that was making him frustrated.
When they would kiss, she would try to bring it further and she kept asking him to join her in bed. Harry wouldn't do that because she was to young, his best friends sister and she had 5 older brothers.
Harry was eating breakfast a week after the game when he was approached by Dumbledore. "Harry come to my office" he told Harry.
Harry got up and followed Dumbledore. He sat down in one of the armchairs while Dumbledore looked at him.
"Harry your grandmother's Uncle died yesterday of old age. In his will he said he wants the Vault of Godric Gryffindor and the Gryffindor Family Vault, usually passed down from father to oldest son, however your great-great uncle never had any children, to both be split in half and given to his two closest kin. You and your Aunt Michelle are his two closest kin. Also his house will be shared by you and your Aunt. Now we ask that you keep the vaults so one of you will get the Vault of Gryffindor and the other will get the Gryffindor Family Vault. The money will be taken care of and moved to the appropriate vaults"
Harry nodded his head in understanding. He took the Gryffindor Family Vault and Aunt Michelle got Vault of Godric Gryffindor. There were some other possessions insides the vaults besides money that they had to take care of.
Harry got a nice bedroom set complete with a four poster, king size bed, a dresser, two night stands, and a chifforobe. All were carved out of the same five hundred year old, gigantic redwood tree. He also got a nice desk carved out of ebony and a small round table and four chairs made out of the same wood as the desk. He picked a nice, big, comfy couch with a matching love seat, armchair and coffee table too.
There were several pieces of jewelry that they split. A nice gold necklace with two golden hearts, one outlined in sapphires and the other outlined in amethysts. There was a silver engagement ring with one big diamond circled by eight smaller diamonds. There was a set of small earrings with two small rubies and a bracelet with a emerald, an aquamarine, and a citrine next to each other in a pattern around the whole bracelet.
There were several books in the vaults that they decided to split. Harry got several books on the magic of Hogwarts and ancient forms of magic from other countries like Egypt, Greece and China. There were journals on Godric's life, the building of Hogwarts, the fight with Slytherin and the war that started after Slytherin left. He got books on rare form of magic like Metamorphmagus, Wandless magic and Elementals.
Harry had the perfect place to put the furniture. When he left the meeting Harry walked to muggle London and picked up a newspaper. He searched through the back part where there were flats available. He found that there was a small apartment building that just opened up in a small town just outside of Luton. He tossed the clerk two quarters and took the newspaper.(remember I can't do British money of I'm sticking to American)
He walked into an alley and apparated to Luton. He landed in a skip(dumpster to us Americans). Mumbling about 'bad aim' he pulled himself out of the skip and dusted himself off.
"What are you looking at bloke?" he asked a man who was staring at him. The guy turned around and walked away. Looking at the ad again he walked off to the street. The apartment building was small compared to most in London, maybe 4 stories.
Harry walked in and found some lady with graying brown hair behind the desk. "Excuse me. I'm looking for a flat" Harry said.
"How old are you?" the woman asked him.
"Well I'm sixteen years old."
"Do your parents know you're here?" she questioned.
"No ma'am my parents died when I was a baby"
"Does your guardians know you're here then?"
"Nope." Harry answered annoyed. "I was just wondering if I could rent a flat. I probably won't be spending much time in it until I graduate in June next year." Harry told her.
"Then why do you want it?" she looked confused.
"Because I want to know I have a place to go to when I graduate" he lied. He had three houses and Grimmauld Place to go to. He just wanted a nice bachelor pad instead of the mansions and houses he could go to. "I also have some nice furniture and I have no where to put it."
"Alright then" the lady said a little skeptically.
"I want the best flat you have!" he said. The green eyed young man followed the aging landlady to the elevator. She pushed the button that had 4 on it. When they arrived Harry saw that there were only 3 doors.
"These are the bigger flats here. This one is the largest" she pointed to one that had 4C painted in black on the white door. "It will cost a $2100 a month" she opened the door up with a key.
"What about gas, water and electric?" Harry asked.
"That is all included" she said.
There were 5 rooms in all. A bathroom, livingroom/kitchen, and three rooms down the hallway.
"I'll take it!" he said.
"Are you sure you can afford it?" she questioned him politely.
"Positive. Can I com back tomorrow to handle everything and move my stuff in?" he asked her.
"Of course" With that Harry quickly left the flathouse and apparated to Hogsmeade.
The next day Harry appeared in the hotel. His furniture was inside his pocket and his money in the other. The woman greeted him and brought him to the room. He took out his furniture, unshrunk it and placed a memory charm on the woman.
"Oh yes where were we?" she asked dazed.
"Oh here is the money for the rest of the year." he said handing her $25,200. The woman walked out of the room, closing the door behind her. Harry took out all the furniture and restored them to their rightful sizes in the rooms he decided to use them for.
If anyone knows if there is a sequel to the Order of the Phoenix by the Red Dragons Order please tell me. I actually found the story on Kazaa while I was searching for the 3rd movie. I saw it in theaters and thought it was pretty good. It looked interesting so I decided to download it and read it. It was good and I was wondering if there was a sequel out there and if there was where could I find it.
In one of my reviews I got cursed at to update. I don't know whether I should feel honored or what. People since it is the summer and I've barely been home these updates will be longer then usual. Anywhere from 1½to 3 weeks between updates. I mostly work on the story late at night when I get home from wherever I was for the day.
Come on people. I really only like to read Harry fanfics and the occasional Lily and James. However most of these fics just don't catch my interest. I don't want a Harry superpower fic, I don't want a Harry falls in love fic(well I can make some exceptions like Fleur, Katie, Alicia, Angelina, Tonks or Parvarti. And a girl Blaise Zabini, even though I think J.K. told us it was really a guy), I don't want a Harry shags some guy fic, which most of them are by the way and I don't want a Harry meets people from the past who train him or give him their power or strange voice help Harry save the world. I want a nice Harry trains to fight Voldemort fic with some flings here or there and some girlfriends. No OOC, no Harry gets turned into Vampire, no anyone is a veela except those who we know already are. Is that to much to ask for?
Zombie Wolf- How bout this, 2 more chapters, including this one, with the flash back and then I'll go back to normal. I just need to explain Harry's relationship with Ginny and add a couple of things here or there. You are right, a lot of people are getting confused with the flashback thing. The next two chapters will be pure flashback and then back to normal. I promise. Scouts honor.
Just felt like mentioning my favorite characters-Hagrid, Sirius and Remus are my three favorites. I like Harry but sometimes he gets a little annoying, don't know why though. I like Ron to but he can be a ass every now and then. I like Neville but he needs to gain some confidence. Professor Flitwick is cool but we don't get to read much about him. I don't like Hermione a lot but I think Emily Watson is pretty.
Chapter 24 Mama Hedwig
Flashback
Harry awoke the next day for Christmas. There was a dull throb where he broke his bones from the battle for Diagon Alley. He looked around his room after he put his glasses on. Hedwigs wasn't on her perch, like she usually was. Come to think of it he hadn't seen her in a while. He shrugged his shoulders. He walked to his window and looked outside.
A snow owl was flying into the attic. Hoping it was Hedwig, Harry ran to the attic door. He pushed it open and saw Ginny's snow owl, Chester, instead. The owl hooted before flying off behind an old dresser. Harry followed him and saw that behind there was a nest. Hedwig was sitting on the nest. Harry could see a couple of eggs in the nest.
Getting closer Harry counted 11 eggs in the nest. "Hedwig! Your going to be a mommy" Harry said proudly. 'So I'm gonna be like a grandad or something' Harry thought. He smiled at his first pet and second friend.
He poked his head out the door and screamed "Ginny and everyone else come to the attic quickly!"
There was a stampede of feet as Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Sirius, Remus, Aunt Michelle and Molly Weasly arrived.
"What happened Harry?" Sirius asked worried.
"Hedwig's gonna be a mom and Chester a dad!" Harry told them. Ginny "awwed" and went to see the eggs. After a half an hour they went downstairs. Hagrid was in the kitchen.(It seems I have not really added Hagrid in a lot. Since he is one of my favorites characters I punished myself. The bruise around my eye will be a constant reminder of how cool Hagrid is and how dumb I was for forgetting him)
"Hagrid do you know anything about snow owls and breeding?" Harry asked him.
"Yes well the male owl flies above the female and..." Hagrid started.
"No Hagrid we're passed that. We need to know about the eggs and hatching" Harry said. "Hedwig has 11 eggs in her nest up in the attic" Harry explained.
"Oh well in that case. The eggs are laid at 2 day intervals. While the female incubates the male brings her food. Eggs hatch 32-34 days after being laid. When the first egg hatches the second one hatches two days later and it continues till all eggs are hatched, just like when they are laid.That leads to large age differences in nests with large clutch sizes. Young are covered in white down. Young begin to leave the nest after about 25 days, well before they can fly. Snow owls usually live 10 years in the wild and 35 years in captivity " Hagrid finished explaining.
"Thanks Hagrid" Harry said. All the Weasly's, except Percy, Sirius, Remus, Aunt Michelle, and Hagrid were the only ones at the house. Hermione left early in the morning to spend the rest of the holidays with her family. They ate their breakfast before walking off and doing some last minutes things. Lunch was served at 1:00 and everyone came down to eat. After lunch they moved into the sitting room and enjoyed each others company. Harry got to learn a lot about his parents from Sirius, Remus and Michelle.
At dinner Dumbledore, Tonks, Tonk's parents Ted and Andromeda and 'Mad Eye' Moody all came for the feast. It was a grand feast fit for several kings. Since Dobby was now working for Harry, as a Christmas present to the loyal house-elf, he thought it best that only the best foods be served for his master.
Soon it came time for presents. Harry got Dumbledore a pair of nice wool socks, one pair had dancing socks, the other had spinning in place Lemon Drops. A gift which confused many but Dumbledore greatly appreciated. He got Ron a ticket to a Chudley Cannon game during Easter break. He also had one so he could see the team his best mate has been rambling on about forever. He brought Hermione a book on Ancient Charms, since it was her best subject.
For the twins he gave them another investment, though not as much as last time. He got Mr. and Mrs. Weasly a house elf, it was a young one, child to two house elves at Hogwarts. He got Sirius a big screen t.v. and a cable hook up. It was Sirius's favorite muggle invention. Remus received several books by werewolfs. It was about how the werewolfs coped with society, politics and ways to make the transformations easier.
He purchased a charm bracelet for Ginny, shoes for Tonks that help make the feet more coordinated and earrings for his Aunt. He gave Bill a rare book on Ancient Egyptian curses and Charlie received a book on Dragons by a guy who animagus form was one. He got Hagrid a Drake, which was basically a small dragon.
In return Harry got a mini-Quidditch pitch from Ron. You could by players or teams and verse your friends. You decided which plays they choose, who the players pass to, etc. It was really hard to play but a hell of a lot of fun. Charlie got him the Chudley Cannons and a mini Harry Potter, to replace the Chudley Cannon seeker who was getting old. He said Ron told him it was Harry's favorite team. Bill got him the Hollyhead Harpies, that was Bills favorite team. "Strictly talent wise of course" Bill said grinning. Harry just grinned in return.
The twins gave him a package of their latest pranks. Mr. and Mrs. Weasly got him a hand on their clock. Hermione brought him a book on Dueling. Hagrid gave him a kitten, which Harry was a bit skeptic that it was a regular cat or weazle. He decided to name him Theseus, after the Greek hero who killed the king Minotaur. Tonks bought him a book on Disguising Oneself and Sirius got him a Launcher. It looked like a bazooka, except you could put snowballs, water balloons and several other things in it and shoot them at people. It really kicked bum.
(I guy told me in my other story I don't use words they do in Britian. So I've been trying to add them in, but sometimes American is so much better.)
Remus and Michelle gave him a nice magical amp for his guitar. Dumbledore gave him his very own pensieve. He told him not to use it to escape the past. Harry just nodded his head yes, even though he really had no clue what he was talking about.
The rest of the night was filled of jokes, laughter and talking. Soon everyone disappeared to their rooms for sleep. Harry was just about to leave when he was called back by Dumbledore. "Harry I need to talk to you"
Harry walked back and sat down in an armchair. "Harry the war is just beginning and already there have been several battles. Diagon Alley is lost and already the death toll for us is around 65. I have sent letters to many families who I consider trustworthy. I was wondering if they could have residence in Potter Manor. There are several with children who will be transporting to Hogwarts. They will becoming a day after New Years" Dumbledore explained.
"Of course sir" Harry replied. "How many sir? Will we need to start building houses?"
"No not yet at least. The Delacours are coming." 'Fleur's family?' Harry thought "The Flamels"
"I thought they died?" Harry said bewildered.
"Yes Nikolas and his wife did Harry, but when you live that old you are bound to have some children. In their case they had 12 kids but since so much time has passed now 5 great-great grandchildren and 14 great-great-great grandchildren are alive.
"Let's see there are also the Cortez's, the Lei's, the Chao's, the Munn's and several other families"
"Alright sir" Harry said. He got up and went to his room. When he pushed open the door he saw Ginny standing there. "What are you doing here Gin?" he asked.
"I didn't get to give you your Christmas present" she said as she walked towards him.
"Well what is it?" Harry asked, not knowing what was going on.
"Me" she whispered and she pressed her lips against his. Harry being totally surprised didn't do anything until he felt her pulling him towards the bed. They spent an hour kissing passionately before finally stopping and falling asleep.
Harry awoke to a prodding in his side. He opened his eyes and blinked a couple of times. A pretty face was smiling at him.
"Aren't you going to ask me something Harry Potter?" Ginny asked.
"Huh?" Harry said confused.
"About me and you" Ginny tried to explain. She sighed at Harry's bewildered expression. "You are suppose to ask me to be your girlfriend after what happened last night"
"I am?" Harry questioned. "Oh right of course!" he said after seeing Ginny's expression. "So Gin would you like to go out with me sometime?" he asked her.
"Yes!" she squealed throwing her arms around him. 'Girls are so confusing' Harry thought.
The Day After New Years
Harry stood on the little strip of land leading up to the gates of Potter Manor. Dumbledore would be arriving any minute now with the families. In his hand was a piece of paper with the address of Potter Manor written on it in Ron's untidy scrawl.
A big group of people appeared in front of him. " 'arry!" a French accented voice squealed. He was pulled into a hug by Fleur. Soon Gabrielle hugged him around his waist since he was a good two feet taller the her. She started Beauxbatons this school year. Beauxbatons starts a year earlier the Hogwarts does. The school year is a month shorter then Hogwarts.
Harry greeted the rest of them. He noticed that the Cotez's had a pretty girl around his age who kept blushing when ever he looked at her. Giving the piece of paper to Fleur he told her "Pass it around. Make sure everyone reads it!" He started to walk over to the gates.
When he turned back to face the families he saw many wore a confused expression. They could not see him anymore because they could not see the land he was walking on. The paper was passed around and everyone read it. He could see Dumbledore saying something. Then everyone looked at him.
He beckoned them forward and pushed open the gate. They quickly walked up the lawn and to the front doors. He pushed the doors open and showed them the map. "There are several of these throughout the house. These help you find your way around the manor" When he finished talking he walked up the stairs and to the third floor. "All these rooms are empty. Pick one you like. Up to four per room. Now I must be going"
Harry flooed to Number 12 Grimmauld Place. He went to his room and waved his wand around. Everything he needed for Hogwarts flew to his trunk. Tomorrow they would be leaving to go to Hogwarts again. Harry sighed wishing vacation would last a little longer. They had match against Ravenclaw coming up and for once in his life Harry wasn't up to the game.
Although it seemed to calm down, the house rivalries were still there between the usually friendly houses. Friends between houses barely talked. Sometimes fights would break out and the classrooms were always split in half.
The next morning and Harry found himself in the kitchen eating some toast. Hedwig would be staying here with Chester under the guidance of Mrs. Weasly who promised to owl him when they hatched. His trunk was by the stairs and Theseus was in his carrying cage next to his trunk. Ron was upstairs because he forgot to pack last night. Hermione was helping him while giving him a lecture about being prepared and how putting things off till the last minute was something idiots did. Harry could hear a 'thud thud' coming from the staircase so he guessed Ginny was finally awake.
He finished the toast, chugged his glass of milk and walked out the kitchen. Ginny was at the top of the stairs, sitting on her trunk with her arms crossed over her chest. "Does thy fair lady need some assistance?" Harry asked.
"Shut up and carry the trunk down" she told him.
"Yes milady" he said bowing. He walked up the stairs and lifter the trunk with his right arm. He wrapped his left around Ginny's waist and kissed her on the lips. H unwrapped his hand and descended the stairs. He plopped the trunk next to his and sat down on it. Ginny followed suit and sat down next to him. She leaned against him and Harry put his arm around her shoulder.
Ron and Hermione came down the stairs minutes later. Ron was carrying his trunk with his right arm and his eft was holding up a side of Hermione trunk. Hermione was using both her hands to carry the other side of her trunk.
"Hermione packed a whole fricking library in this thing!" Ron complained. They didn't get a chance to put the trunk down though because Mrs. Weasly, Sirius, Aunt Michelle, Remus and Mr. Weasly came out of the kitchen.
"The ministry car is waiting outside! Let's go come on!" Harry hoisted his and Ginny's trunks and walked out the door. He placed the trunks in the boot of the car. Harry gave Theseus to Hermione and she placed him inside the car.
"Can I ride my bike?" he asked hopefully.
"Absolutely not!" Mrs. Weasly said sternly.
"Please??? Sirius and Remus can come with me" he said
"Excellent idea Harry!" Sirius said. He ran inside and came back out. He placed the shrunken motorcycles on the ground and tapped them with his wand. They grew to the size of regular motorcycles. Harry did the same to his and three motorcycles similar in every way except paint jobs stood in the road.
Harry hoped on his and placed the black helmet on his head. Turning the key the black haired teenager revved the engine. The car pulled of the curb and started its journey to Kings Cross. The three motorcycles following closely. They arrived at the station, several minutes before the train was due to leave. So Harry grabbed Hermione's trunk, Ron his own, Ginny and Hermione took Ginny's and Sirius grabbed his. Aunt Michelle had Theseus and Mrs. Weasly had Crookshanks. The ran to the barrier between Platforms 9 and 10. Harry went through first, folloed by Ron, Ginny and Hermione, Sirius, Aunt Michelle, Mrs. Weasly, Remus and Mrs. Weasly.
They tossed the trunks on, place the cat carriers on top of the trunks and did their quick good-byes. Harry shrunk his motorcycle and jumped on the slowly moving train. They quickly found a unoccupied compartment and warily sat down. "That was a close call" Ron sighed.
"It's always a close call with us" Hermione stated. Harry just sighed and leaned back against the seat. He quickly fell asleep.
He was awoken a few hours later by Hermione panicked voice. "Why are we slowing down? We are still two hours away from Hogwarts"
Harry sat up immediately and looked out the window. He could see the Giants coming towards the train with Death Eaters farther behind.
"Ron get the D.A. members and go outside! Hermione and Ginny get the rest of the students out of the train to the other side! NOW!" They scrambled to due what Harry told them to.
The young mage rushed of the train to the giants. 'What works on giants?' he thought hurriedly.
'Come on think, think!' he berated himself. 'I got it! Bless Dudley and his movies!' He Remembered the beginning of the old Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, before he was kicked out of the livingroom and slapped by Uncle Vernon for sneaking around. When the D.A. arrived he told them to try to bind the feet of the giants so they can't move. The sky was beginning to darken, night was beginning to fall.
Harry ran forward, rolling out of the way of an incoming gigantic fist. He conjured a grappling hook attached to a peace of long, nice strong rope. He stabbed a tip of the grappling hook into the giants bare leg. "YEAOW!!!!!!!!!" the giant screamed, as the Earth shook. Harry ran around the giants legs, making sure to dodged the fist, trying to squash him. He made sure he kept count of how many circles he made '1...2...3...4...5...6' He pulled the rope tight as the ginat tried to kick him.
He was jerked backwards as the giant's foot tugged the rope. Harry ran faster around the giant. '7...8...9...10...11...12...13...14...15' Hoping that was enough Harry pulled as strong as he could on the rope in the direction of the train. Knowing he wasn't strong enough as a human, Harry changed into his griffin form. He extended his claws and took several steps forward, his claws digging into the ground. Soon the ground shook and a loud 'thump' could be heard. Harry turned his head and saw that the giant fell backwards ,on top of some Death Eaters.
Harry heard several more thumps and felt the Earth shake several more times as the D.A. took care of the other giants. For one group the giant fell on to the train. It crushed the last car and Harry heard several shrieks. Harry wasn't a religious person but he prayed to god that no students were hurt when that giant fell.
Harry sent several hexes and jinxes towards the advancing Death Eaters. "The Phoenix flies Harry!" he heard Ron shout.
'What?' he thought bewildered. 'Oh the Order of the Phoenix must be here!' And sure enough most of the Order came out of the train and some went around the end of it. Figuring they could handle the remaining Death Eaters and giants he called a retreat of the D.A.
They met where the students were gathered. 'Report" he said.
"Ernie's foot was crushed by a giant." Hannah exclaimed. "We need to get him to St. Mungo's." Harry picked up a big rock and turned it into a portkey. He gave the rock to Hannah. Her and Justin took hold of the rock, Ernie being held between them.
"Anyone else need to go?" he asked quickly.
"Anthony got kicked in the thigh and waist by one of the smaller giants" Ginny said. Terry Boot and Ron stepped forward and carefully lifted Anthony up. They both took hold of the portkey.
"Is that it?" he questioned. When no one answered he activated the portkey and the six were gone in an instant. "Alright. We're gonna search the car that was crushed to make sure no students were injured." Harry set off with the others closely following.
The giant there was struggling to get up. "Sono" Harry said pointing his wand at the giant. It yawned but still continued to thrash about. "Sono" Harry said again. The giant became more subdued and it quit struggling. It was still squirming so Harry said "Sono" again. This time the stopped moving, closed its eyes and went to sleep. "Wingardium Leviosa!" Harry said. He levitated the giant carefully out of the way.
Once it was out of the way the rest of the D.A. started to go through the wreckage. "Harry!" he heard Parvarti call out. Harry jogged over to her and looked at what she was pointing at. A 7th year Slytherin girl was crushed under the roof of the car.
"Anyone know her name?" Harry asked.
"I think it's something MacNair" Padma said.
"Do we no anything about her?" he questioned.
"Yeah she was suppose to get the mark this summer" Cassandra said. It was a good thing Harry got some friends in the Slytherin house. Harry levitated the roof off of her. Seamus walked forward and scooped her up in her arms. He carried the 7th year to a spot on the grass and set her down. Harry put his hand over her eyes and shut her eyelids.
Everyone sat or laid down on the grass. Soon Dumbledore came and told them to get on the train. Harry told him about Ron, Ernie, Hannah, Justin, Terry and Anthony. The last car was unhitched and the rest of the train took off. They arrived at Hogwarts shortly after.
The next morning Harry was woken up by cold water being poured on his head. "What the?" he spluttered siting up. Ron was standing over him with an empty bucket. "Why'd you do that for?" he asked him annoyed.
"Quidditch practice" Ron answered simply.
Harry looked at the clock '4:47' it read. "This early?" he questioned.
"Well it would of been earlier but you don't wake up for crap" Harry just groaned and pushed the covers off of himself.
Practices were hard that week. Ron wanted them prepared for the game against Ravenclaw. Harry would see Cho for the first time since the train ride to Hogwarts at the beginning of school. Harry was a little nervous. Even though the house rivalries settled down some they were still there.
When the morning of the match arrived all the Gryffindors were down at breakfast. The air was full of excitement. Harry was nibbling on some toast, to nervous to eat anything. Ron was eating some bacon while muttering to himself.
The time came for the team to leave and get ready. "Come on Harry, lets go" Ginny said. Harry got up and wrapped his hand in Ginny's. They walked to the locker rooms. The sky was cloudy and a small breeze was blowing. They got dressed in their uniforms and lined up by the door leading to the pitch.
"Well guys I guess good luck and kick arse" Ron said. Ron wasn't a good at speeches in case you couldn't tell.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the fourth game of the year, between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor!" Seamus said. "Now here are the Ravenclaw's! Chasers Goldstein, Davies and Bradley. Beaters Boot and Ranson, Keeper Johnson and their Seeker Chang!" The Ravenclaws, most Slytherins and some Hufflepuffs cheered.
"And now welcoming the best Quidditch team"the Gryffindors cheered in agreement, while the others booed. "Chasers Weasly, Bell and Lavery Beaters Longbottom and Monroe, Seeker Potter, and Captain and Keeper Weasly!" the Gryffindors, most Hufflepuffs and some Slytherins cheered.
"The balls are released. Their goes the bludgers, followed by the golden snitch. The captains shake hands and the Quaffle is thrown into the air! Lavery races forward and grabs the quaffle. She passes to Bell, who passes to Weasly. Weasly ducks the bludger sent at her by Boot. Oh Weasly passes the quaffle to Bell. She fakes left and scores! 10-0 Gryffindor!"
Harry was sitting on his broom and looking around. He wanted to end the game because Cho had already made two attempts to talk to him. His eyes were scanning the pitch quickly looking for any sign of gold.
He was barely focused on the game, dodging a bludger every now and then. The score was 50-50, Ravenclaw just tied it up. Something gold was glittering on the other side of the pitch. Harry started to slowly move over there, on eye on the snitch, one on Cho. When he was close enough he sped forward.
"Looks like Potter has seen the snitch! Chang, who is far behind tries to catch up. The snitch shoots to the Ravenclaw goal post, Potter hot on its tail. It does a U-turn around the middle post and Potter makes a sharp turn in order to keep up. He is gaining on it and yes! Potter has the snitch! 200-50 Gryffindor!"
The Gryffindors went wild. Their was a big party in The Room. Harry spent it dancing and talking with Ginny. Speaking of Ginny there was something she was doing that was making him frustrated.
When they would kiss, she would try to bring it further and she kept asking him to join her in bed. Harry wouldn't do that because she was to young, his best friends sister and she had 5 older brothers.
Harry was eating breakfast a week after the game when he was approached by Dumbledore. "Harry come to my office" he told Harry.
Harry got up and followed Dumbledore. He sat down in one of the armchairs while Dumbledore looked at him.
"Harry your grandmother's Uncle died yesterday of old age. In his will he said he wants the Vault of Godric Gryffindor and the Gryffindor Family Vault, usually passed down from father to oldest son, however your great-great uncle never had any children, to both be split in half and given to his two closest kin. You and your Aunt Michelle are his two closest kin. Also his house will be shared by you and your Aunt. Now we ask that you keep the vaults so one of you will get the Vault of Gryffindor and the other will get the Gryffindor Family Vault. The money will be taken care of and moved to the appropriate vaults"
Harry nodded his head in understanding. He took the Gryffindor Family Vault and Aunt Michelle got Vault of Godric Gryffindor. There were some other possessions insides the vaults besides money that they had to take care of.
Harry got a nice bedroom set complete with a four poster, king size bed, a dresser, two night stands, and a chifforobe. All were carved out of the same five hundred year old, gigantic redwood tree. He also got a nice desk carved out of ebony and a small round table and four chairs made out of the same wood as the desk. He picked a nice, big, comfy couch with a matching love seat, armchair and coffee table too.
There were several pieces of jewelry that they split. A nice gold necklace with two golden hearts, one outlined in sapphires and the other outlined in amethysts. There was a silver engagement ring with one big diamond circled by eight smaller diamonds. There was a set of small earrings with two small rubies and a bracelet with a emerald, an aquamarine, and a citrine next to each other in a pattern around the whole bracelet.
There were several books in the vaults that they decided to split. Harry got several books on the magic of Hogwarts and ancient forms of magic from other countries like Egypt, Greece and China. There were journals on Godric's life, the building of Hogwarts, the fight with Slytherin and the war that started after Slytherin left. He got books on rare form of magic like Metamorphmagus, Wandless magic and Elementals.
Harry had the perfect place to put the furniture. When he left the meeting Harry walked to muggle London and picked up a newspaper. He searched through the back part where there were flats available. He found that there was a small apartment building that just opened up in a small town just outside of Luton. He tossed the clerk two quarters and took the newspaper.(remember I can't do British money of I'm sticking to American)
He walked into an alley and apparated to Luton. He landed in a skip(dumpster to us Americans). Mumbling about 'bad aim' he pulled himself out of the skip and dusted himself off.
"What are you looking at bloke?" he asked a man who was staring at him. The guy turned around and walked away. Looking at the ad again he walked off to the street. The apartment building was small compared to most in London, maybe 4 stories.
Harry walked in and found some lady with graying brown hair behind the desk. "Excuse me. I'm looking for a flat" Harry said.
"How old are you?" the woman asked him.
"Well I'm sixteen years old."
"Do your parents know you're here?" she questioned.
"No ma'am my parents died when I was a baby"
"Does your guardians know you're here then?"
"Nope." Harry answered annoyed. "I was just wondering if I could rent a flat. I probably won't be spending much time in it until I graduate in June next year." Harry told her.
"Then why do you want it?" she looked confused.
"Because I want to know I have a place to go to when I graduate" he lied. He had three houses and Grimmauld Place to go to. He just wanted a nice bachelor pad instead of the mansions and houses he could go to. "I also have some nice furniture and I have no where to put it."
"Alright then" the lady said a little skeptically.
"I want the best flat you have!" he said. The green eyed young man followed the aging landlady to the elevator. She pushed the button that had 4 on it. When they arrived Harry saw that there were only 3 doors.
"These are the bigger flats here. This one is the largest" she pointed to one that had 4C painted in black on the white door. "It will cost a $2100 a month" she opened the door up with a key.
"What about gas, water and electric?" Harry asked.
"That is all included" she said.
There were 5 rooms in all. A bathroom, livingroom/kitchen, and three rooms down the hallway.
"I'll take it!" he said.
"Are you sure you can afford it?" she questioned him politely.
"Positive. Can I com back tomorrow to handle everything and move my stuff in?" he asked her.
"Of course" With that Harry quickly left the flathouse and apparated to Hogsmeade.
The next day Harry appeared in the hotel. His furniture was inside his pocket and his money in the other. The woman greeted him and brought him to the room. He took out his furniture, unshrunk it and placed a memory charm on the woman.
"Oh yes where were we?" she asked dazed.
"Oh here is the money for the rest of the year." he said handing her $25,200. The woman walked out of the room, closing the door behind her. Harry took out all the furniture and restored them to their rightful sizes in the rooms he decided to use them for.
If anyone knows if there is a sequel to the Order of the Phoenix by the Red Dragons Order please tell me. I actually found the story on Kazaa while I was searching for the 3rd movie. I saw it in theaters and thought it was pretty good. It looked interesting so I decided to download it and read it. It was good and I was wondering if there was a sequel out there and if there was where could I find it.
In one of my reviews I got cursed at to update. I don't know whether I should feel honored or what. People since it is the summer and I've barely been home these updates will be longer then usual. Anywhere from 1½to 3 weeks between updates. I mostly work on the story late at night when I get home from wherever I was for the day.
Come on people. I really only like to read Harry fanfics and the occasional Lily and James. However most of these fics just don't catch my interest. I don't want a Harry superpower fic, I don't want a Harry falls in love fic(well I can make some exceptions like Fleur, Katie, Alicia, Angelina, Tonks or Parvarti. And a girl Blaise Zabini, even though I think J.K. told us it was really a guy), I don't want a Harry shags some guy fic, which most of them are by the way and I don't want a Harry meets people from the past who train him or give him their power or strange voice help Harry save the world. I want a nice Harry trains to fight Voldemort fic with some flings here or there and some girlfriends. No OOC, no Harry gets turned into Vampire, no anyone is a veela except those who we know already are. Is that to much to ask for?
