Harry Weasley

Chapter Two: The Letters and shopping

"Harry, Ron, Fred, George, Percy come down here, your letters are here."

There were five sets of running feet coming down the staircase at that announcement Harry and Ron were finally getting their first letters telling them that they had been accepted to Hogwart's for their first term. It was July of 1991, and Harry had been living with his adopted family since his parents were killed by the Dark Lord Voldemort 10 years earlier. Mrs. Weasley had come there the night before his little sister Ginny was born, and found him in his crib with his mother dead, along with the body of Voldemort at the foot of his crib. Harry didn't know how he survived, but all he ended up with was a lightning bolt scar on his forehead for the experience.

He was now a part of the Weasley family, they had adopted him soon after Molly had Ginny, and he became their 7th son. Harry loved his family, for they were the only ones that he had known since he was a year old.

"Good morning mum. Does that mean that Ron and I got our Hogwarts letters?" Harry was very excited about the possibility of going to Hogwarts. He had looked forward to this day, since Bill had gotten his letter so many years ago,.

He knew that he possessed power, for he had been doing accidental magic since he was three years old. He started with turning his hair red like his adopted family, deciding to keep it that way after his mum had taken a picture of him with red hair. It made him look more like his adopted family, and it was less unruly than the black hair. Molly let him keep it until he turned 11, but made him change it back because she said that he he should be proud of his black hair. He knew that he was famous for defeating the Dark Lord when he was only one year old. He was able to disguise his scar pretty much with his bangs, and was happy when she told them that yes they both got letters.

Harry ripped into his letter and pulled out two sheets of paper.

Dear Mr. Weasley (Potter),

We are proud to inform you that you have been accepted to go to Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the coming term. The enclosed list is the books and supplies that you will need for your first year at the school. Please send an owl with your intentions to join us as a 1st year.

Your's truly

Minerva McGonagall

Deputy Headmistress

Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Harry looked over the list of stuff that he was required items, and noted that he was only allowed to have a cat, toad, or owl as a pet as a 1st year. Harry smiled as he looked over the list and looked at how excited Ron was. "We made it Ron, we're going to go to Hogwarts."

Ron was as excited as his brother was, for he had been waiting for many a year to go there. He already had his pet to take there in Scabbers, his family's rat. "Looks like we will be going there this year."

As Harry and Ron were talking, they saw a smile creep across Percy's face as he pulled out a badge. "Mom I got Prefect this year. I got my dream of being a prefect." Percy pinned the badge to his shirt and shined it up.

"That's great Percy, we will have to get you something. What would you like, didn't you say you wanted your own owl?"

"Yah mom, that would be great, I would love to have one, and that would mean that I could write to friends without much problems." Percy didn't want to let his brothers or sister know that he had a girlfriend yet, and that he actually wanted it to write to her.

"Ok everyone, now that you all have your letters, we will be making a trip to Diagon Alley to get your school supplies today. Quickly finish your breakfast everyone, and we will get going."

Everyone finished up their breakfast, and flooed over to Diagon Alley to get their supplies. The first stop was Gringotts Wizarding bank to get their money. When they entered, Harry went down to his vault with one of the goblins to get some money. When he saw how much he had, he scooped up three bags full of money, so that he could help buy his brothers' supplies as well. He also took some so that he would have some for the school year.

At Madame Malkins robes for all occasions, they ran into a blond haired boy, that knew who they were, and was an arse to them. They finished their shopping without much further incidence, with one exception. When they were in the wand shop, the proprietor told Harry that the wand he purchased was the brother to the one who gave him his scar.

As they were making their way down the alley to go home, Harry was drawn to a beautiful snowy owl in the owl emporiums window, and asked his mom if he could get her.

"I don't know Harry."

"Please mom, it's like I've being drawn to her, like we were meant to be together as owl and friend. Please please please."

Harry eventually got Molly to agree and he went in and got his owl Hedwig, a cage and treats. They headed back home, and had dinner before they went to bed, ready to leave the next day for school.
