Chapter Two: Quick Removal
"What in the name of Godric Gryffindor was that?" Harry exclaims as he pulls Dudley up from off the floor. "OUCH! Harry that hurt." The cloud of smoke begins to fade and a familiar voice appears, "Cough, Cough. Harry---Cough---Harry Potter? Are you there? Cough," an outline of a short being starts to walk out of the smoke. Dudley's eyes grow large with fear and he begins to panic, "Harry! Harry! That thing is coming toward us. Harry..." Harry quickly interrupted Dudley, "Who are you? Do I know you? You sound a bit familiar. Dobby?" All of a sudden Dudley jumps behinde Harry, "What in the bloody heaven is that---that---thing!" Harry's face grows a grin and he lets out a sigh of relief, "Boy am I glad that it's just you." Dobby smiles and then bows. Harry bows back and then moves so that Dudley is standing independently. "Dobby is please to meet you, Mr--eh," Dobby stopped and looked at Harry. Harry took that as his cue to introduce the two, "Oh, yes, well, Dobby this is my cousin, Dudley. Dudley Dursley. And Dudley, this is Dobby. He's a house elf and my friend, from the Wizarding World. Now Dobby, what is it that you need so badly that you had to make all that bloody noise?" Dobby puts his chin in his hand to try to remember what it is that he had to tell him. Dobby snapped his fingers with reply, "AH HA! Yes, Dobby remembers. Dobby came to warn Harry Potter that when he goes back to Hogwarts a drastic change will happen to Harry Potter, friends, and enemies of young and old. And that if things go wrong Harry Potter and the whole Wizarding World will be in grave danger. Grave Danger." Dobby snapped his fingers and disappeared in thin air. Harry and Dudley look at each other, Harry spoke with a confused look on his face, "I wonder what he meant by all of that."
Mean while down at dinner in the dinning room with Vernon and Petunia...
"I sure am going to miss these meals. Fine dinner Petunia. Is a shame I'll have to eat out for a while. Less mess I suppose. All the better and for the best. No more bloody owls. No more you know what. No more Potter period. No more! No more! No more! Petunia take my plate I am finished." Vernon leaves the kitchen and heads toward his bedroom, "I am going to pack. Then I am off." Petunia continues to sit at the dinner table not know how to react to what was happening. A few minutes later it finally hits Petunia, "Vernon's leaving me..." Petunia stoop up from the table and clear it all into the kitchen. Just as she was about to wash the dishes Vernon came into the kitchen with his suitecases and coat, "Petunia the keys to the car and I need my wallet." Petunia slowly handed them to Vernon as she tried not to cry. A single tear trickled down her face as Vernon toook the keys and wallet. Vernon looked at Petunia but felt no sympathy for her, "I will not live in a house full of freaks. This has gone on long enough. 16 years to many knowing that there was at least one freak in this house. I can't go on living here knowing there are now 3! Petunia, do not try to contact me. I will find a place somewhere soon. Then I will be by to pick up the rest of my possessions. This is goodbye Petunia. Tell Dudders daddy will miss him. Petunia I want a divorce and that's final!" Vernon stormed out the front door then out of the driveway and down the road. Petunia then broke into tears. That moment was the beginning to the drastic changes Dobby had warned Harry and Dudley about.
Upstairs in Harry's room Dudley was helping Harry pack his belongings while asking way to many questions at one time, "Harry, what's it really like at Hogwarts? I mean will I be with you or will we be split up? I don't really want that to happen because then I would be all alone. Harry I have to say, I am more than just a bit nervous about this. What about Hannah? Can we bring her too? I don't want to leave Han! What will we tell her? Can we tell her the truth? Harry, Harry your not answering me! Harry!" Harry stopped putting his clothes in his suit case and turned around glaring straight at Dudley, "DUDLEY! PLEASE! I will tell you more when we get to the burrow. Right now we have to pack. Help me with these last bit of clothes so that we can pack your things." Dudley looked back at Harry with acceptance but a confused look in his eye. They finally finished Harry's belongings and now move to Dudley's room. Dudley opens the door and Harry's eyes grow larger and larger, "Wow... Dudley, your room is huge and you have so much stuff," Harry paused and took a look around, "Umm, Dudley, you do know that you can only take a certain amount of things. Let's try packing the necssities first and then we can pack whatever else you want."
"Fine with me Harry. Wait, did you just say that my room what huge? It's definately not small but then again it's not huge. Whatever let's start packing." Dudley ran over to his closet and opened the sliding doors. Loads of clothes come piling out ontop of Dudley creating a mountain of clothes. Harry struggles to hold back his laughter which results in Harry falling to the floor laughing so hard tears roll down his cheeks. "See you've gotten in touch with your softer side," a familiar voice said behinde Harry. Dudley quickly dug himself out of the mount of clothes and Harry got to his feet. Harry turned around and spoke in a surprised but welcoming tone, "Ron! How? Why? I mean, when did you get here? We only just finished packing my things. It's going to take us at least 2 hours to pack Dudley's things." Ron's mouth drops open, "DUDLEY?!? You mean your pig of a cousin that you can't stand to be around? That Dudley? You don't think your bringing him to Hogwarts this year do you? Besides he can't he's our age and should be in our year. If he was meant to go to Hogwarts than he would've gotten a letter like the rest of us. It's not possible! You can't..." Ron was interrupted my Mr.Weasley, "Anything can be possible. Hello Harry, nice to see you again. Everything packed? We need to leave for the burrow as quickly as possible. So, are we ready?" Dudley walked over and stood next to Harry, "Hi, My name's Dudley. I'm Harry's pig of a cousin," Dudley scowled at Ron, "I'm going to Hogwarts with Harry this year. I finally found the courage to stand up to my parents. Oh yes Harry has his things packed but we still have to pack my things and that will take at the least 2 hours."
Mr. Weasely waved his wand and Dudley's things began to gather into a suite case. Clothes folding themselves, pictures and posters rolling themselves up. Dudley turned around not only to find that there was magic going on in his house but the things that were being packed was exactly what he wanted to be packed. Not only was his belongings being packed, his suites cases were full and his suite case was already half way full. "How---how'd you do---do---do that?" Dudley studdered in fear. Ron answered in a snappy tone, "Uh Magic...DUH!" Mr. Weasely gave Ron a disappointed look, "Your things should be just about packed. Harry you and Ron go put your luggage in the car. Dudley and I will be there with you in a few minutes. I am going to go downstairs and meet your Aunt and Uncle. Dudley your things will take care of themselves. Please come downstairs with me. It would look very strange is Petunia all of a sudden saw me walking down the stairs all by myself. C'mon Dudley." Dudley and Mr. Weasely head down the hallway towards the stairs and Harry and Ron head into Harry's room to get Harry's luggage.
Harry's Room...
"Ok Ron, what was that about? Do you have some sort of a problem with my cousin? I'm not sure what is going to happen once he gets to Hogwarts but I'm sure that I will figure something out. Dumblebore will understand. He definately doesn't want to stay here and obivously he wants to learn the ways of the wizarding world so please Ron just give him a chance. I'm not going to become best friends with him though. That's what I have you and Hermione for. Nothing will ever change that." Ron gave Harry a silly smirk, "Well he better not or I am going to have to give him some ears, a snout, and a tail." Harry shook his head with laughter. Harry walked over to his trunk and grabbed one end. "Want to give me a hand Ron. Ya know make yourself useful." Ron walked over to the other end of the trunk and picked it up. Ron and Harry headed out Harry's room and down the hallway to take the trunk out to the car which was sitting in the Durley's driveway.
Family Room...
Mr. Weasely and Dudley slowly approached the family room where Petunia had cried herself to sleep. Dudley looked at his mother and then at Mr. Weasely, "Maybe we should leave her to sleep." All of a sudden Petunia woke up, "Duddy-Poo is that you darling? Come sit by mummy. I have so news that might shock you. Oh, Arthur? Arthur Weasely? Is---is that really you?" Dudley ran over to his mum and sat down by her. Arthur nodded at Petunia, "Do you mind if I might a sit with you? I have somethings I must dicuss with you." Petunia replied quickly, "Duddy-Poo, go find Harry so that Mr. Weasely and I can talk. I will talk to you later when we have the chance to sit down..." Mr. Weasely interrupted Petunia quickly, "Petunia, that's not going to be necessary. Besides it's best if Dudley heard this also, after all it will involve him." Mr. Weasely put his hand on Dudley's shoulder which indicated he wanted Dudley to sit. Dudley at down next to his mum and Mr. Weasely sat in the chair in front of them. Mr. Weasely began to speak but was then interrupted my Drs. Dursley, "Please, Arthur let me speak first. Dudley there is something that I feel is necessary for you to hear. Tonight when you stormed off with Harry and I let you two go, your father and I got into a fight. We ate dinner but then your father told me that he could no longer live in a house full of, dare I say it," Petunia took a deep breathe, "freaks... Your father has told me that he wants a divorce and he has left us. He told me to tell you that he will miss you. I am afraid that your father is no longer going to be around. Please forgive me. Also there is something else you need to know about what went on tonight..." Mr. Weasely inttrupted Petunia, "Petunia before you go on there is something you and Dudley needs to know about Vernon. Vernon is no longer here with us. His car was spotted off the road in a nearby lake. He was scared off the road, knocked out, and he drownded. I am sorry that you had to find out this way and I am sorry that things had to end thins way. The thing that you need to know about Dudley is that he isn't a normal person. He's not a muggle like you are. He indeed is a wizard." Dudley gasped for air and than passed out on the love seat. Petunia woke Dudley up and then spoke again, "I already knew that. He got letters as well as Harry. But Vernon insisted that we keep it a secret from him. He told me that he wasn't going to have his son turn out like my sister. A freak and dead. Oh, dear, this is all too much at one time. My husband, dead! My son leaving me to get his propper training. It's all too much. I don't know what to do with myself. I am going to be all alone." Petunia breaks down in tears again. Dudley joined his mother in crying for he did not know what to do either. His father dead, and he was getting ready to leave his mother all by her lonesome. Mr. Weasely sopke again, "I have an idea..."
Outside with Harry and Ron...
CLUNK! Ron dropped the end of the trunk he was holding. "Ron! Please be careful with that. I have fragile things in there. You wouldn't want me to do that to your things would you?" Harry exclaimed as he set his side down. "Well, sorry! It would be a lot easier if we were allowed to use magic outside of school but we don't get to do that until next year. Besides what do you have is that bloody trunk anway? It feels like you have everything you have ever owned in that thing," Ron replied with attitude. Harry and Ron loaded the trunk into the car, "Harry, is Dudley really coming to Hogwarts with us? I mean what if he ends up ruining our lives? And besides it's a danger for him and us. He doesn't even know anything about the wizarding world, let alone MAGIC! How do you expect Dumbledor to take this. I mean you know the rules. He's not even a wizard Harry. This idea of your's is mad. How the bloody hell do you think this is going to work. He's not sleeping in my room. I hope you know that! And hoow do you..." Harry quickly interrupted Ron, "Ron, calm down. I will figure this out. And besides Dumbledor most likely knows what is going on, even at this very moment. I don't know everything, all I know is that I will figure this out. Everything always works out in the end..." Ron now interrupted Harry, "But what if it doesn't work out this time. What if it doesn't? How can you always expect things to go your way? It's not possible, I mean your life seems so perfect that nothing ever goes wrong for you." Harry begins to get extremely mad at Ron, so mad that his pace actually starts to turn red, "Nothing goes wrong for me huh?!? My life is perfect? Well just to let you know, before I could ever walk my parents were killed. Not just my any ordinary person but by a raving lunatic. VOLDEMORT KILLED MY PARENTS! If nothing ever goes wrong for me than why do I always have to fight some force of Voldemort every bloody year?!? At least you have your parents. All I have is an Uncle who abuses me, an Aunt that can't stand up for what she knows is right, and a wishy-washy cousin! Now you're telling me that my life is perfect; that nothing ever goes wrong for me. Well I have some news for you, my life is no where near being perfect and if you still think so than maybe you should open your bloody eyes and see what is really going on!" Harry stormed back into the house and slammed the door. Harry leaned up and against the door, slid down it and began to cry because he was frustrated and felt bad about what had just happened between him and Ron. Mr. Weasely, Petunia, and Dudley ran over to the front door to see what was going on.
"Brave Gryffindor, what is going on?" Mr. Weasely asked Harry in concern. "Nothing, I'm fine. I'll just go get the rest of my things and Dudley's. Then we can leave." Harry replied while getting up from the floor and wiping the tears from his face. Petunia went over to Harry to try to comfort him, "That won't be necessary Harry," Petunia looked at Arthur, "Arthur can you please load our things? We need to leave as soon as possible." "Very well." Arthur started up the stairs and then down the hallway standing in front of each room chanting a spell. He came back down the stairs and opened the door. Everyone's luggage came floating out the door and into the car. "Everything is packed and loaded. Dudley, Harry, Petunia; do we have everything we wanted to get?" Mr. Weasely asked before Harry pulled away and ran up the stairs. Harry ran into his room and grabbed the four letter that were still laying on Harry's desk. Harry ran back downstairs and too the door where everyone was waiting impatiently. Dudley went up to Harry, "Are you going to read them now? You can't, we have to get a move on. Hurray Harry." Everyone was heading out to the car when the phone rang. "I'll get that, it might be the police." Petunia scurried to the phone and picked it up, "Hello, you've reached the Dursley's, Petunia speaking... Oh yes he's hear, would you like me to get him? Sure, no problem. Uh-huh sure I will." Petunia turned towards the front door, "Harry, it's for you. It's that Hannah Crock girl. She said that she needs to talk to you and that it's urgent!" Harry looked at Dudley and then walked over to the phone. Petunia handed Harry the phone...
Harry and Hannah's phone conversation
Harry: Hello.
Hannah: Hi Harry. I kept my promise.
Harry: What promise?
Hannah: To call you silly.
Harry: Oh.
Hannah: Well, don't sound so thrilled. So, Harry, Have you thought about it yet?
Harry: Thought about what?
Hannah: You know what I am talking about. Oh Harry that stupid little act of your's is soo cute. You know when I asked you to be with me. I could give you everything you ever wanted. I could give you fame, love, and all the magic in the world. Harry what I am trying to tell you is that I... I... well Harry I love you. I don't mean to sound so sudden but I can't hide my feelings any longer. I know that I am with Dudley right now but that can be fixed easily. Harry what do you say?
Harry: sigh Hannah, there is so much about me that you will never understand. Han, I am deeply attracted to you but I don't love you. To tell you the truth I will never be in love with you and I don't think that it's right for you to do that to Dudley because to tell you the truth he hasn't been so happy and you are the one who makes him happy. If you don't feel the same way about him that I suggest that you tell him instead of leading him on even more. Dudley is my cousin and I cannot allow you to play with his heart so wrecklessly. Hannah, we are moving, and we are moving tonight. We are no longer going to be able to speak ever again. So this is goodbye. Dudley does not want to talk to you right now. But I am sure that you will hear from him soon. Once I hang up this phone you will no longer be able to reach me. The only thing you will have left is the memory. Goodbye Hannah.
Hannah: sniffle Har---Harr---Harry please, please don't, Harry...
Harry hung up the phone and walked over to the door, "Let's go. Everything has been taken care of." Everything was turned off in the house and then the door was shut and locked. Everyone got into th car and headed to the burrow.
