The Mind Switch
story by: Snapes Apprentice
Chapter 2: The Arrival
Harry grabbed his trunk forcefully and started to pack it with his clothes, robes, school books, socks, underwear, potions, vials, quills, ink, and everything else he found that he needed for school.
He tried to pack it neatly but gave up when he couldn't do it properly, his mind stuck on what Malfoy wrote.
he threw the rest of the things in the trunk, and closed it, and took out his wand and laid down on the bed. He twirled it in his fingers as he thought about what is was going to be like at Malfoys house. 'I wonder how I will be tortured.' he thought to himself, as he took off his glasses and laid his wand down, and fell to sleep, not caring to change.
~~
Harry woke up with a start. He tried to remember why he felt so miserable, and remembered he would be staying at the Malfoy Manor for the rest of the summer weeks.
Harry groaned and looked down at his watch, and seen it was already 12:00 in the afternoon. 'why didn't they try to wake me?' he thought, and sighed.
Harry lept up, and changed clothes in a rush, and looked in his full length mirror, seeing he looked as like Dudley as ever. Harry growled at the thought of the pig dudley, and put a hand up to his hair, trying to at least get it to go straight. He sighed and put his hand down, knowing it was no use.
Harry pounced down the stairs, and headed to the kitchen, where Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia, and Dudley were sitting, watching the News.
Vernon turned as he entered and sat down, and glared at him.
"Are you all packed, boy?" Vernon growled, harry eyeing the suit he was wearing.
"Yes, Uncle Vernon. I packed last night. Plus, they are going to be here at 7:00, you didn't need to actually dress up." harry replyed, seeing Vernon turning purple, his vein showing.
"Get up to your room until they get here. Take this, and get out of my site." Vernon growled, pushing a sandwich with a plate into his hands.
Harry turned on his heel and left, up the stairs to his room, and slammed the door.
He ate his sandwich in silence, thinking all the same. 'Yes. Exactly what I will do.'
He opened his trunk and rummaged around until he found a piece of parchment, quill, and a bottle of ink. He sat down at his desk, and finished his sandwich, thinking of what he should write.
An idea came to him, and he sat down his plate and started writing.
15 minutes later, and 3 pieces of parchment later, he was finished.
He re-read it to himself what he wrote, satisfied with it.
Hermione,
Hello, how are you doing this summer vacation? I am doing fine, besides I am going to have to stay at the Malfoy Manor for the rest of the summer. I do not know all the details, besides that Professor Dumbledore ordered them to take me in, because Mr. and Mrs. Weasley couldn't do it. Do you know anything why I must stay with the damn Malfoys? Why does everything happen to me? Well, I must go. They are going to be here in 4 hours. Hope you have a good summer. And see you in Hogwarts.
Sincerely your friend,
Harry Potter
~~
He decided it was now or never.
He grabbed his trunk and headed downstairs, tired of being up there any longer. Harry wished he could float his truck to make it lighter, but he knew he couldn't do any magic outside of Hogwarts.
He hauled the trunk down the stairs, and into the sitting room, where his relatives were pacing nervously. Uncle Vernon was pacing with his best suit on, sweating really bad. Aunt Petunia was biting her tounge, and Dudley was sitting in the chair, looking livid.
Harry looked up at the clock above the sitting room entering into the kitchen. 6:30 p.m., a half an hour until they were supposed to show up and take him to Malfoy Manor.
Harry began to pace also, nervous as to if Narcissa would except him staying there, and wanting to punch something, as he would be stuck all by himself with Draco for 3 weeks.
Suddenly, there was a noise from the fireplace, and everyone froze. Harry walked a little farther to the fireplace, before someone fell out of it, and jumped back.
"Malfoy?" harry asked, bending down.
He looked up at Harry for a moment, there eyes meeting.
"Well, are you going to help me up, Potter, or not?" Draco sneered, flattning his hands on the ground and pushing himself up onto his feet.
"Nevermind, I didn't need.." Malfoy froze, and turned to look at who was above him. He looked up, and seen Vernon Dursley staring down at him.
He turned. "So, you must be his Uncle." he siad, sticking a hand out. "My pleasure to meet you."
Uncle Vernon took a step back, afraid.
Draco looked at Harry with satisfaction on his face. "Is your uncle always scared of wizards?"
"Yeah, pity, isn't it." Harry replied, looking at him for a moment, before turning to his uncle, who was purpling with rage.
Before Uncle Vernon or Draco could say anything, another person came out of the fireplace, a woman.
Draco rushed over to her. "Let me help you, mother." he said, as he took her hand.
Harry was shocked at this and he didn't know why.
As she straightened up, she was beautiful. Blonde hair, brown eyes, and just as tall as Lucius. She had a small smile on her face, as she looked around.
"Narcissa finally landed her eyes on harry, and walked over to him. "Nice to meet you, harry. I have heard so much about you from Draco here." she said, before she gave him a small hug.
Draco looked down at the ground, but up as something caught his eye.
Harry followed his gaze to where Dudley was sitting. Draco had a smirk on his face. "Is this your cousin, Potter?" he asked, smirking again.
"Yes, malfoy, he is." he replied, almost bursting with laughter as he seen the look on Dudley's face, dudley most likely remembered the last time he came in counter with the Weasley Twins.
Narcissa walked up to Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia and bowed. "Nice to meet you all. I hope we haven't caused any trouble by taking harry out of your hands for the rest of the summer."
Aunt Petunia squeaked and backed up to where Dudley was sitting, going around behind him.
"Well, we must get going. Supper will be ready any minute. Draco, will you please take Harry's trunk for the first round?" She said, looking at Draco as he nodded.
She reached into her pocket as the Dursley's stepped back. Narcissa paused for a moment to look at them, then pulled a small bag from her robes. She opened it and threw some floo powder in the fire, it blazing green in an instant.
"Draco, honey, you go first." she said, as Draco stepped over to the fire, trunk in hand. He stepped into the fire, and yelled, "Malfoy Manor." and he dissapeared from sight.
"Harry, darling, you next." she said, as she put the floo powder back in her robes.
Harry stepped in the fire, not even saying goodbye to the Dursley's, before yelling "Malfoy Manor," and he also dissapeared from sight, not looking back to see what Narcissa had in store for the dursley's.
