Chapter 9: A wizard!
Klaus was just coming down the stairs. When he heard Harry and Violet talking. Then, he watched as Harry ran out the door with great force. Klaus had heard every word they said. He watched Violet go into the Kitchen. Then, he slowly and quietly walked down the rest of the stairs and down the hall to the closet. Klaus slowly opened the door to reveal a truck with a big golden 'H' on it. Klaus carefully opened the truck. Inside the truck was a pile of letters, a silver caldron, a broomstick with the words 'Fire Bolt' on the side, an old looking cloak, a bunch of books, and broken minor pieces at the bottom of the truck.
Klaus slowly bent down and examined the broom and a few books and letters. A broom ………I wonder if it can fly like the book ………No, it can't…. He thought, and then he started to read an old looking letter that was deep in the truck:
Howgarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore
Dear Mr. Potter,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment…………….(and you know the rest).
Hogwarts… Witches…Wizards…Magic…but they don't exist…do they? He thought, then he scanned the books: potions, DADA, transfiguration, charms, and magical creatures. But it can't be true…magical creatures…Headwig…I ……it…
Klaus dropped everything he had been holding and started running upstairs and calling out for Violet and Sunny. Charms …Spells…magic…wizards…All Klaus thoughts clashed and questions buzzed his head, and then in a saddened stop one thing kept go though his thoughts. Harry's a wizard…Harry has magic…Harry has powers. Then, many questions filled his mind. Is Harry a good wizard or a bad one? Want if he tries to hurt us or kill us. Want if he casts a spell on us, want can we do?
Klaus entered Harry's and his bedroom slowly and out of breath with his brain buzzing with many more questions. Klaus slowly sat on his bed and let out a ragged sigh of fear and confusion. He was so deep in thought that he didn't hear his sisters enter the room.
"Klaus, what's going on? What the matter? Klaus! KLAUS!" shouted Violet in a panicked voice as she waved a hand in front of him. While, Sunny crawled over and started shaking him. Then, in a desperate act Violet pulled back her hand and…Slap…. right across the face.
Klaus blinked a moment, and then he looked up at Violet in shock and surprise, then grateful. "Thank you. I was a little to deep in thought." said Klaus gently as he rubbed his face in frustration motion.
"What happened Klaus?" said Violet in a worried voice. "Whup hep Klaus?" said Sunny in a concerned voice. "I found out why Harry acted strange at times. And I don't know if your going to believe me, don't think I don't believe myself either". Said Klaus in a disbelieving, soft voice as he looked up at his sisters. "Just tell us Klaus, please". Said Violet worriedly as she sat next to him.
"Harry is a …is a…" Klaus paused for a moment and tried again. "Harry's a Wizard!"
"What?" Violet shouted in shock. "What do you mean he's a wizard? How do you know? I…you. . He."
Violet was so shocked she didn't know if she was angry, worried, or scared. She was totally confused by the whole situation.
"Violet, I …I went though his stuff. And it all points to that he's a wizard." said Klaus protectively. "It also explains why his family hates him and why he didn't want me looking through his stuff and why he has a an owl as a pet and other stuff."
It did make sense, all the pieces fit. Violet sat there in shock and deep in thought. Sunny sat on the floor in disbelief. Klaus stood up and walked over to Harry's desk and looked around it and there sat a note- book opened wide to a page, so all could see. Klaus started reading it out of curiosity; at once his heart fell to the ground.
"Violet, you're going to want to read this." said Klaus as each world seeped with fear as he handed Violet Harry's notebook. Violet took book numbly from Klaus. Violet and Sunny scanned the page and as they did their expression dissolved into fear.
"Count Olaf found us again." said Violet down heartedly, and then it hit her. "That's why he looked so worried and acting edgy...and if your right about Harry Being a wizard, then that stick was a wand. The question is want he was going to do with it? And want is he doing now?"
Wait………Harry was worried about us. Then that means he's not bad or evil. He cares about us. Then, that must mean he's a good wizard. Klaus thought, feeling a shame about how he was acting and glad that Harry was a good wizard and that he was wrong for once. A smile slowly appeared on his face unconsciously.
All of a suddenly they heard a loud boom from downstairs and yelling of voices. Klaus cautionly walked towards the doorway. Then, they heard someone running up the steps in a rush and the yelling of voices increased, as the voices got closer. Then, suddenly the running up the stairs stopped, that someone had must likely made it to the top of the stairs now.
Violet picked up sunny as Klaus looked to see who that someone was. Klaus peeked around the doorframe to see a boy with raven black hair and emerald green eyes and looked like he ran a marathon. The boy also had dirt and sweat on every part of his body and tares on his shirt. As Klaus looked him up and down, the boy made eye contact with him and at once he knew who it was: Harry.
