Chapter 8: Getting Settled
Everything was going great but Harry still was in the same state that he was when he had returned from Hogwarts, though he was with his friends again. Hermione has been acting really weird around him since they got him at the Dursley's. Oh well Hermione, though smart she was a bit weird but that's what made her special. And he could see and imagine that she was really worried about him, which made it really funny, because he was worried about her. He couldn't really figure why he was worried, it was almost like subconsciously he knew something that he wasn't realizing. Or maybe he was just worried about her because she was so stacked with her schoolwork and on top of that worried about him.

Diagon Alley was wonderful. Tom had showed her how to get there earlier, you have to tap the brick that was three up and two over three times with her wand pretty easy. There were so many wonderful stores there that there didn't seem to be enough time in the day to check them all out.
She spent some time in Flourish and Blotts finding books that would tell her what had happened to her as a child, and learning about Lord Olscamp. Of course she was forced to bye the books if she wanted to read its entirety. So what she did was flip through the books and see if it had anything that she could see that tell her about Olscamp and herself.
When she had some books she paid the shopkeeper and headed to Florean Fortescue's Ice-cream Parlor. She had got a sundae and started to read a book about Lord Olscamp's rise and the things that people knew that he did in his reign of power. Everything that was there were terrible, brutal murders, torturing the weak and helpless and the strong, but not strong enough to resist his methods. Of course like anyone with power he had his faithful followers and his forced followers.
It was weird when she got towards the end it was actually true, the part about her. She truly had no idea what she was going to do. But then again she didn't have to know right now so she decided to put that aside and just enjoy her time here.
She went back to the Leaky Cauldron and put the books in her room. And headed back down stairs and towards the courtyard. She thought that she would eat out there or maybe she would get something at the many cafes in Diagon Alley and get ice cream at Florean Fortescue's Ice-cream Parlor. First she would have to figure where she was going to eat. She entered Diagon Alley and found this little quite cafe and decided to eat there. After she was done and paid, she went to Florean Fortescue's Ice-cream Parlor to get a sundae and took it to the courtyard behind the Leaky Cauldron. She sat there eating it while everyone passed in and out of Diagon Alley. She was glad that she didn't have to be as fast paced as most of them were. And so day the ended with her believing that she was indeed adopted, as she started to head up to her room she thought about whether she would transfer to Hogwarts or not.
**********
Everyone was asleep in the Weasley's home except for Harry who lay awake, just thinking. Wondering if he made the right decision. Should he have stayed at the Dursley's?
Then all of a sudden he was drifting through what seemed to be a lot of space. Till finally he had stopped and realized that he wasn't alone . . . Cedric was there.
"Kill the other one and bring Harry here!"
There was a flash of bright green and he could hear his mum faintly say, "James, no." he saw a silent tear stream down her face and could feel her hold him tighter. "I'll protect you no matter what. I love you Harry." He heard footsteps coming towards them.
He sat up looking around and realized that he was just at the Burrow and wished that he were with his mum, though he hated reliving that.
"Sorry mate, didn't mean to wake ya," said Ron.
" . . . . . . Oh, Ummmm . . . no probs."
"All right mate? You were mumbling."
" . . . . What . . .oh ya fine."
"Alright, well I'm going down to get breakfast."
"K, I'll be down later.
He lay there and wished that he were with his mum, dad and his Godfather right now. He wished that Voldermort killing his parents had been a horrible, nasty dream that he was about to wake from and be with his parents again.

A few days passed and Brandy got nervous, Patricia and Dominic would be there any day now. She had no clue what they'd be like, or how it would be to meet them for the first time. She got very anxious and decided to leave the Leaky Cauldron and have a look around the muggle streets.
It was a nice place there were shops upon shops, and the streets were full of cars and people. She walked around looking in the shops; there were shops for hats, shoes, clothes, baby stuff, and a lot of other shops.
Just then she noticed three people walking towards her. There was a large, purple-faced man with a large black moustache and hardly any neck. A thin bony horse-faced blonde woman with an unusually tall neck. Brandy wondered it was healthy to be that thin. There was a very plump, pink faced, boy with small, watery blue eyes and smooth blonde hair that was flat on his plump head, waddling in fount of the man and woman who were walking side-by- side. She wondered how the boy could live being that large, surely he was very much over weight and not very healthy. The boy winked at her as they walked right by. Brandy wound herself suddered at it. She had never judged anyone by their appearance but this boy and the two others with him gave her a bad vibe, like they thought they were superior and hated anyone who was magical. She heard the boy say that he was glad that Harry was gone because they would've had to bring him and that Harry always made him nervous.
Brandy decided to go into some stores. She looked around in many stores and then came to a store called "Smeltings - everything that you'll need" She entered it and saw the same boy and adults she had saw earlier. A sales person came up to her and asked if she needed.
"No I'm just looking around, thanks."
She peered to her right and saw the boy being fitted into a suit along with other boys and figures that since they were the same suits that it must be a uniform for some school.
She left the shop and slowly headed back to the Leaky Cauldron for something to eat, stopping to look in shop windows. By the time she reached the Leaky Cauldron the boy and his parents were once again walking towards her, they must have taken another way. As she entered the boy pointed at her.
She went up to the bar and got a sandwich and a Butterbeer, she didn't feel like she could eat much more than that. She took the sandwich and Butterbeer and sat at an empty table. As she sat down a couple was walking towards her nervously. She thought that they were people who recognized who she was and were coming over to say that it was nice to meet her. But it wasn't.
"Are you Brandy?"
"Umm yes."
They were quite for a moment till the woman finally spoke again, "It's great to see you again dear."
Looking puzzled she replied, "Umm. . . do I know you?"
"Well no I guess not. We saw you when you were born. I'm Patricia and he's Dominic."
Silence fell over them again.
