A/N:
Tonks: Sorry, but my mother confiscated my laptop twice in a week, and half of the chapter was erased 'cause we couldn't save it in a proper way.. ¤hexing WordPad¤ This chapter should have been up at least two weeks ago, but after half of it was erased we haven't been able to be together so we could write it (again)…We hope that the next chapter can be up some time in the next week.. I think that's all.. :S
Luna: Ah, hello. You forgot one very important thing.
Tonks: WHAT? ME, forgetting something? You gotta be kidding.
Luna: Um, yes you. Forgetting something. Happens all the time, though. Well, the thing is, you forgot (yes, forgot!) to write the disclaimer… ¤being a pain in the ass¤
Tonks: Duh. I had to leave something for you!
Luna: Oh! But, thank you very much, indeed. Okay, let's begin shall we?
Tonks: Yes… ¤HappyBecauseSheDidn'tNeedToHideFromAnAngryLuna¤
Luna: Ha-ha, very funny. But I really need to get started with my D, anyway all the readers would get extremely bored. Disclaimer: All the things you- and bladi bladi bla - belongs to J.K Rowling. Like that! Happy?
Tonks: A bit lazy, aren't you?
Luna: No comment.
Tonks: Yeah, yeah… Whatever! Let's just start then...)
"Talking"
"YELLING"
Chapter 2.
Shocking news.
Harry realised that he was gaping, so he quickly closed his mouth, only to get a new shock so he nearly was gaping again..
Harry was used to wizards wearing stupid muggle clothes, but this was the weirdest thing he had seen in his life, including Archibald from the Quidditch World Cup two years ago.(A/N: If you've read the fourth book you'll know who he is!)
Dumbledore looked like a man taken directly from a hip-hop video. He was wearing a big yellow cap with a red and white routed headscarf underneath barely visible, a BIG baggy, pink sweater with a lot of bling-blings, large wide, green jeans where his orange skater shoes nearly were invisible.
"Wazzup?" said Dumbledore lazily.
"Err.. Excuse me.. Sir?"
"Harry, my man. Gimme some love, you're coming with me, bro'"
"What..? I don't understand this, Sir"
"Okay, I am sorry Harry. I will drop this attitude of mine, but I have to act like a modern muggle. I have come to pick you up, because now I am finally your Guardian. So now that we are family, I am going to be the ultimate dad!"(1)
Harry just stood there and stared at Dumbledore in shock, he pulled himself together and asked stuttering
"A-are you s-s-serious? Am I going to live with you now? In your house? Forever?",
"Indeed, Harry, and yes, I am being serious. Why do not you just go and fetch your things, and I will just go down to the car and wait for you there. I just have to warn you; in about five seconds I am going to change back to my modern muggle style."
"Right.. I'll just go then…" said Harry, still a bit shocked.
Dumbledore just gave him a little nod and turned around, heading for the car, this was the first time Harry had noticed it, and he saw it was a green limo. He couldn't see the driver, but he saw something black and a little bit white in the driver seat.
Harry turned around very quickly, and started to run to the stairs. He had just crossed half of the hall before he bumped into uncle Vernon's fat stomach.
"Who was that? If it was one of my colleagues, and you scared him away with that freaky business of yours, then I'll swear I'm going to kick yo-"
"It wasn't," Harry stated quickly "It was my Headmaster."
"Don't you dare tell me lies, boy! Now tell me. WHO WAS IT?"
"I've already told you! It was my Headmaster, yes Headmaster. From my magic school. And you know what? I'm gonna live with him, forever! So then, you and Duddy-boy can have it your ways. I'm disappearing, right? But am I sad? No! I'm actually very happy!" Harry said coolly now gasping for breath. "So, can I go..?"
Uncle Vernon was actually really purple. He opened and shot his mouth several times, and it seemed that he was thinking. Very hard. Finally he spoke: "What are you standing here for then? GET OUT!"
"Ehm… I was on my way upstairs, but then you got in my way.! So, could you please move..? Gotta get my thing, you know!"
Vernon jumped out of the way, and Harry ran upstairs and collected his stuff faster then you could say "Norwegian nature is beautiful!" and ran back downstairs where aunt Petunia and Dudley had come out of the kitchen to see if it was true that Harry was going to move out.
Harry just ran past them out the door and shouted a quick "BYE" with a firm grip on his trunk in his left hand, and a startled Hedwig, in her cage, in his right.
The door was quickly shot behind him, but Harry didn't even flinch. He was finally moving from the Dursleys, and so far this was his happiest moment since before Sirius' death.
Dumbledore was standing besides the car and said:
"Got all ya things, mate?"
"Eeh.. Yes, sir"
"No need to call me 'sir', bro. Call me Alby, and I'm just gonna call you Scarhead, like in Harry-Potter-has-a-scar-on-his-forehead. Get in the car, Scarhead!"
"Ehm, well Alby… By the way, right before you knocked on the door, the birds stopped singing. Has it anything to do with you?"
"Well, yeah."
"Why?"
"Dunno… No particular reason. They just annoyed me with all the pipping! Don't bother me with that, eh?"
"'kay, Alby."
Harry threw his trunk inside the limo before he opened Hedwig's cage and told her to follow them, then he threw her cage inside too, before he climbed in himself. Dumbledore was right behind him, and both of them sat down in the comfy seats inside. Harry noticed that the seats also were green… Very green.
Harry saw Dumbledore transfigured his clothes back to the robes he usually was wearing.
"Ah" Dumbledore sighed "Sorry for being so grumpy outside the car, Harry, but I was tired of wearing those silly clothes. Now, let us drive to your new home. Driver… Oh, I nearly forgot to introduce you to my housekeeper, and he is going to be your nanny too, kind of. I think you know him pretty well" said Dumbledore and let out a squeaky giggle. "Severus?"
Harry frowned. The only Severus he knew of was his Potions master, Severus Snape, but it couldn't be..?
The man in the front seat turned around and stared at Harry with a scowl.
"Hello, Harrrrry" the man said.
The man in the front seat was indeed his Potions master.
A/N:
Luna: Haha.. there he was "just a walking down the street singing—"
Tonks: #Silencio# Shut up Luna, before you break my eardrum. Okay ppl… Every chapter is not going to end with a new person coming.. this is the last (for know, who knows what the future might bring?).. Well.. Luna, are you going to stop singing, or do I have to leave the silencing charm on you for a while?
Luna: "—Doah, Diddy diddy dum.." yes, yes.. Don't look at me like that. You're giving me the creeps. Whatever. I am (as we discussed under the story, Tonks) going to excuse our little commercial on "Norwegian nature is beautiful" but that is a fact.
Tonks: Yes, it is.. We can, with the right hands over our hearts (which is on the left side on your breast) say that it's true. The reason is that we're from Norway of course :-D Well.. I think it's time for us to answer the reviews we got from our last chapter. Right?
Luna: Yeah, but we only got three. Come on! Make some magic guys.
Reviews:
Bwfan01: Thanks!
Adriannrod: We're writing all we can, and we might consider killing Dudley..
Author by Night: Yes, we do know there's a sixth book, and both of us have read it (Luna: once in English, Tonks: twice in English an once in Norwegian), but this is just some crazy idea we got a while ago, and in this story Dumbledore needs to be alive, and Snape have to be 'good' (sort of).

Next chapter's going to be up next week (we think, or at least hope).. 'till then, bye
