Harry Potter and The New Beginning
Disclaimer: I don't own anything that you recognize from the Harry Potter books or movies 'cause if I did I'd be rich.
I will only own the plot or any new characters that you see. Especially Amanda. A/N: ok so like this is my first fanfic so please tell me what I'm doing wrong and how I can improve, and I'm doing this 'cause I didn't like the way the fifth book ended so, like yeah that's pretty much it. Oh yeah, major spoilers for all books. By the way, I'm Canadian so if the story doesn't sound English that's why. Letter, "speech", 'thought', and that's it for now.
Chapter 1: Number 4 Privet Drive
If anyone were to walk past number 4 Privet Drive they would have assumed that everyone, who lives there were soundly sleeping, which would have been true if it weren't for a raven black haired, emerald green eyed, Fifteen year old boy named Harry Potter. Harry was sitting on his bed with the quilt over his head, crouching over a textbook and a piece of parchment, with a quill in his right hand (A/N: he is right handed right?) and a bottle of ink on his bed (careful not to spill it), and had an old flashlight he found around the house for light. He was doing some of his summer homework like this 'cause he wasn't allowed to do his homework with the chance of his relatives finding out he'd be in so much trouble if he was so he'd do it like this every night.
A soft tapping sound broke his concentration. Turning off the flashlight and pulling off the quilt he looked out the window and saw 5 owls. He recognized 3 of them as Pig, Hedwig, and Errol and he knew the gray one was a Hogwarts owl, because of the emblem he had around his neck, but had absolutely no clue who the last one was.
Pig brought him back from his thoughts about the mystery owl by slamming into the back of his head and Harry decided to open Pig's letter first so snatching him out of the air he grabbed the letter and put Pig in Hedwig's cage for him to have some water.
Harry, How are the muggles treating you? Mum has been writing to Dumbeldore constantly and it finally paid off. He said that you can come over on the 17th of August. Nothing has really happened around here, unless you count the fact that Fred and George got a bunch of money from someone unknown. Weird huh? Well gotta go. See you soon, Ron P.S. I hope you like your present. P.P.S Hermione actually went with Krum can you believe that?!?
Harry laughed at the last part. 'When will they figure it out?' he thought to himself. As he put Ron's letter aside he picked up the present and opened it. It was a Chuddly Cannons figurine. 'Figures' he thought as he picked up Hermione's letter.
Harry, How are you? I'm fine. I'm actually with Victor back at his place. Ron is being such a git about it too. I mean like can you believe him? I swear it's like he is trying to decide who I can and can't go out with. Victor and me aren't even going out. We're just friends. Could you try and tell that to Ron for me? Oh my I just looked at what I wrote and I was rambling, terribly sorry about that. So how are the muggles treating you? How's your summer been? Well I better be going. Bye, see you soon. Love, Hermione
He put the book aside and picked up a letter, on which he didn't recognize the handwriting.
Harry, I know you probably don't know who this is so I better introduce myself. 'Ahem...my name is Ginny Weasley.' There now that that's out of the way I might as well tell you why I am writing to you. I am writing because on the last day of school you looked kind of down so I wanted to see if there was anything I could do. I doubt there is, but if so don't be afraid to write. The truth is that I also wrote because I need someone to talk to. Someone who understands. Someone who I know I can trust. And I know that my family kind of fits into that but they can't help me with this. I was wondering if maybe we could get together sometime to talk? If not I understand. See you on the 17th. Ginny P.S. Hope you like my drawing.
Harry was puzzled. This was the first time Ginny had ever written him. What could he help her with that her family couldn't? He opened the present and saw a piece of parchment with a picture of a boy riding a broom chasing after a snitch. And the boy looked an awful lot like him. Why would Ginny be drawing him?
Harry opened the Hogwarts letter and it was the same as any other letter with the list of books he would need for the upcoming year. (A/N: if you want to know what it says, look in one of the books. If the names of some of the books he needs is important I'll add it in the chapter he goes to Diagon Alley.)
He took the letter off the unknown owl and the bird just flew off. Harry decided to save that letter until morning. With confused thoughts of Ginny buzzing around in his head he took off his glasses, rolled over and went to sleep.
A/N: I know not much happened there. But what was with Ginny's letter? And who sent the mystery letter? Personally I don't even know right now. Don't worry it will get better I promise.
