Chapter 12: Don't be stupid
Disclaimer: I only own my original characters
Harry was pacing around his bedroom. He had phoned Shane and Jennie last night and had asked them to meet him at the park at 12:00. It was 11:30 now and worry was written all over Harry's face.
He left a few minutes later and made his way to the park. When he neared it he could see two figures seated on the swings.
As he got closer he took a deep breath to calm himself.
"Hi Harry" Jennie shouted, who ran up to him and gave him a big hug
"Hey, how you been?" Shane asked, clapping Harry on the back
"Hey guys" Harry mumbled
"What's wrong?" Jennie asked, looking at him worriedly
"I'm fine, but I need to talk to you" Harry answered slowly
"Ok then" Shane said as he grabbed his arm and led him over to the swings "Let's talk"
"Well you know I was away all last week"
"Yeah" they both said
"Well I was in London at my godfather's house"
"You have a godfather!" Jennie said in disbelief
"Yeah" Harry said sheepishly
"What's his name?" Shane asked excitedly
"Err......Sirius Black"
"Sirius, that's an unusual name" Shane said curiously
"Yeah he grew up in a weird family" Harry said, brushing away Shane's comment "Anyway you know Ron and Hermione?"
"Yeah but what have they got to do with this?"
"Before I went to London they came to my house and told me some things"
"What did they tell you?" Jennie asked
"Don't worry, you wouldn't believe me if I told you" Harry laughed nervously
"Hey come on tell us" Jennie pleaded, giving him a playful shove
"No, don't worry" Harry laughed again
"Harry we're your friends you can tell us anything" Shane said seriously. Harry said nothing; he just stared at the ground.
"You trust us don't you?" Jennie said softly
"Yeah but........" Harry's voice trailed off
So you can tell us then, we wont tell anyone" Shane said, trying to reason with him
"Ok, ok, but if I tell you then you have to promise me that you wont tell anyone anything" Harry said sternly
"We promise" Shane grinned
"Okay, well when my parents died they were murdered by a man called Voldemort"
"And my parents, they were, well they were....." Harry stammered
"They were?" Jennie asked eagerly
"They were wizards and so am I" Harry answered nervously
Shane and Jennie looked at each other for a moment before bursting into laughter.
"Good one Harry" Jennie said wiping her eyes
"Don't be stupid Harry, you can't be a wizard you can hardly staple correctly" Shane said, claming down. Harry stared at them intently.
"Your not joking are you?" Shane said as he saw Harry's face.
Harry shook his head.
"Oh my god!" Jennie gasped
"Wow!" Shane cried
"Don't tell anyone, I'm not even supposed to tell you" Harry said desperately
"Don't worry, we wont tell anyone, right Jennie" Shane winked
"No, of course not" Jennie said slowly
"Jen, are you ok?" Harry asked
"Yeah, I'm fine, it's just weird you know finding out that your best friends a wizard" Jennie smiled
"Come on then, show us some magic" Shane said excitedly
"I don't know any yet" Harry exclaimed
"Oh" Shane said "So are you gonna learn it from your house?"
"Um....no"
"Where then?"
"Actually, they have a magic school that I'm going to"
"So your going away, aren't you?" Jennie said sadly
"Yeah" Harry replied
"For how long?"
"All year, except summer" They were all silent
"I had better go, I've got to pack everything" Harry said, turning to leave.
"When are you going?" Shane asked
"Tomorrow"
"Not fair" Jennie said as she walked over to him and gave him another hug.
"Well then seeing as this is your last night, you can't just sit inside all night" Shane said smirking
"So what do you say we do?" Harry said, returning his smirk
"How about we go get the others and then go do stuff"
"That sounds good" Harry said "What about you Jen?"
"I have to agree with you there"
"Let's go" Shane said, running out of the park. Harry and Jennie looked at each other for a split second before running after him.
Hours later Harry was stood outside the door of number 4 with a policeman standing behind him. They had been caught vandalising a street wall. His other friends (Shane, Jennie, Sammy, Ashley, Reece, Leanne, and Tyler" had all been taken back to their homes by the police and Harry was the last one.
The front door opened to reveal Vernon Dursley.
"Sir is this your nephew?" The policeman asked
"Why yes it is, I hope he hasn't done anything to bad" Vernon said, trying to be as polite as possible
"We caught him and seven others writing crude words on a street wall"
"I am sorry sir"
"That's alright, we've let them of with a warning but if they do it again then im afraid we will have to put it on his criminal record"
"Ok, thank you sir" Vernon said, as Harry stepped inside
"Goodnight sir" The policeman said as he walked back to his car. As soon as the door slammed shut Vernon started shouting
"YOU, BED, NOW, NO DINNER!" He almost screamed. Harry obliged and flew up the stairs to his room.
The next morning Harry awoke at 10:00. He yawned and swung his legs over the side of his bed. He looked around his room and in horror realised that he hadn't packed anything.
He quickly rushed around the room and threw everything into his bags. He was unsuccessfully trying to cram all of his clothes into a sports bag when he heard the doorbell go.
He went to the window and saw Remus standing outside with a big shaggy dog that he recognised to be Sirius.
The door opened and he heard a bit of arguing downstairs before two sets of footsteps walked up the stairs. Harry hurried over to his bag and tried to make it look like he was doing something when his bedroom door opened and Sirius and Remus walked in.
"Hello Harry" Sirius said brightly "You all right"
"No, I cant get all my clothes in my bag" Harry answered
"You go get changed, we'll pack your bags for you" Remus laughed
"Thanks" Harry said, He grabbed a pair of jeans and a Nike t-shirt and boxers, then hurried out of the room and into the bathroom.
A few minutes later, when he returned to his room his bags were nowhere to be seen.
"Hey where's my bags?" He asked
"We shrank them so that they would be easier to carry" Remus replied
"Ok, okay"
"You ready then?" Sirius asked
"Uh.....yeah"
"Let's go then". They walked out of the room and down the stairs. When they reached the front door Sirius stopped him.
"Aren't you going to say goodbye to your Aunt and Uncle?" Harry sighed
"Bye" He shouted. No reply came. Remus shrugged and they stepped outside, Sirius quickly transformed then he joined them outside. Remus was about to speak when;
"Hang on" Harry said as he ran off. He had seen his friends waving to him.
"Hey" Harry panted
"Hey" Shane said
"What are you doing here?"
"We came to say goodbye" Jennie replied
"And to give you a present" Reece joined in
"Ooooh, present" Harry said excitedly
"Here you go" Sammy said handing him a box. Harry took it and lifted the lid of. Inside was a book, he took it out and was about to turn the first page when......
"No not yet, look at it when you start to miss us" Ashley winked
"Thanks" Harry laughed
"Hey you better go, their waiting for you" Jennie said, a few tears coming to her eyes.
"Yeah, I guess I had" Harry said sadly
They all gave him a hug. Shane was last.
"See you next summer then" He said gloomily
"Yeah, next summer" Harry said awkwardly. Shane gave him a one armed hug for a second then pulled away.
"Bye then"
"Bye" Harry said, turning around. He reached Remus and Sirius and turned around to see Shane giving him a big thumbs up.
"Who are they?" Remus asked him
"My friends" Harry answered sadly.
"You ready to go then?" Remus asked, pulling a big feather out of his pocket.
"Is that a Portkey?" Harry asked knowingly
"Yeah, do you know how to use it?" Remus smiled
"Uh huh" Harry said. He and Remus both put a finger on it while Sirius reached up and put a shaggy paw on it. They didn't have to wait long before they were gone.
They landed, a few moments later, in front of a huge castle
"Welcome to Hogwarts Harry" Sirius whispered in his ear, as Harry stared at the castle in awe.
