Chapter 2
Draco's Detour
Harry continued pursuing Dudley. No longer attacking; Dudley was getting himself into enough trouble without Harry's help.
First Dudley stopped at a payphone and called his parents to tell them he was having tea at a friends house and would not be
back til late at night. Then he began wandering the streets looking for someone to get money from.
After ten minutes Dudley spotted his victim. A limo pulled up and dropped a blonde haired boy off at the corner. Harry could
not see the boy's face. The snobby teen handed a slender wooden stick to the driver. Harry almost fell off his broom in
surprise. He flew closer to listen to what they were saying.
The driver said, "Your father told me to take your wand so you will not be tempted to use it. He does not want to draw
attention to the family right now with the family on high alert. You are here for one purpose only; deliver this letter and
package to 1712 Main Street."
"Yes, sir," the boy drawled. Harry's blood froze. He knew that voice immediately.
"That's a boy," the driver smiled. Then quickly drove off. The boy turned around and Harry look straight into the face of
Draco Malfoy. Luckily, Draco couldn't see the look of pure hatred on Harry's face. Draco started off down the street,
Dudley greedily followed. They walked quite some ways on Main Street. Harry watched the numbers grow...
1700,
1702,
1704,
1706...
The buildings were getting shabbier as the numbers go higher.
1708,
1710...
Finally they reached an alleyway. Painted on the side of the building was 1712 with an arrow pointing down the alley. Draco
turned down the alley and Dudley made his move, and punched Draco once.
"Empty your pockets."
"I...I don't have anything," stuttered Draco.
Dudley punched him again, "Don't lie to me; empty your pockets."
Draco hurriedly obeyed.
"Run away and don't tell anyone," Dudley ordered.
Draco quickly ran off and Dudley began looking through the loot to see what treasures he had found. Dudley was breathing
hard he rammed the wallet into his pocket, he tried to open the package, but it wouldn't open. He heard sirens approaching
and froze, then ran. Harry was now alone in the dark alley. He grabbed the package and letter and began heading home.
Harry flew in his bedroom window and returned his magical stuff to his closet. The curiosity of what was in the letter was
killing him. He knew it was wrong, but decided to open it anyway. (When has Harry ever listened to his conscious rather than
obey his curiosity?...hmm...Never!) Slowly he tore the letter open.
Dear David Ameno,
Please read this letter from beginning to end. It's contents are very important and true. Do not show them to anyone. This is
not a hoax.
Your mother, Angelina Black, was a witch and was killed by the Dark Lord. You were sent to live with your muggle (non-
magical) father. We asked the ministry is we could adopt you but they refused to allow us to. However, you are a wizard,
and are eligible to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this fall.
Because your father strongly opposes magic, we decided it would be best for you if you came to live with us this summer.
We would help you get your school supplies and make sure you arrive at school when the semester starts.
If you would like to spend the summer with us meet the boy who delivered this letter outside your house at 10:00 p.m.
tomorrow night. You will not need to bring anything. We will provide everything you need.
To prevent your father from worrying we have attached a magical note that will answer all his questions. Just leave this note
on your pillow. He will find it.
We hope to see you soon, and have missed you very much.
Love you Aunt and Uncle,
Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy
The package contained a photo of the Malfoy family with a 5-year-old Draco. Narcissa was holding a little boy which Harry
assumed to be David. The photo did not move.
Harry reread the message. It couldn't be right. David could not be related to the Malfoy's. Harry knew from studying the
Black Family tapestry that there was no Angelina Black.
"Why would the Malfoy's want to abduct this kid?" Harry wondered. He knew that they were not related, but how much of
the letter was true?
At that moment David was in his room reading a book. He did not realize how lucky he was that Draco never delivered the
letter.
How did you like it? I hope you enjoyed. I will update again soon. Please review and tell me what you think.
