Everyone, barring Hebe that is, was looking back and forth between the death angel and newly magical fainted witch. The first one to recover was Luna and she was also the first one to say something.
"Hebe, how?" Luna questioned the death angel.
"It was on my to-do list of the wrongs that needed to be righted, that's all," Hebe said as if that explained everything.
"Wait, why was there a curse placed on my aunt and how did you know about it?" Harry quizzed Hebe once he snapped out of his shock.
"That I'll explain later, for now I need to wake her back up to bring her up to speed with everything that is going on. including what is in the works for you guys," Hebe informed him nonchalantly.
With another snap of her fingers, Hebe, woke Petunia up again. A very groggy Petunia who, once she realized isn't dreaming, had a bout of accidental magic, transfiguring the chair she was sitting on into a boar which promptly started to run around the library while Petunia tried to hold on screaming the entire time.
"Finite Incantetum!" Harry shouts out while aiming his wand at the rampaging boar hitting it in one shot sending his aunt flying into the nearest bookshelf to do the sudden stop of momentum.
"AHHHHHHH!" Petunia screamed before crashing into the bookshelf with a loud thud.
There was some giggling coming from two of the female occupants in the room (Luna and Hebe) at the recent event. Almost immediately after the crash two of the Potter elves softly popped into the room to see what had happened to make sure their Lord and Ladies were not injured (despite Luna and Hermione not being officially married to Harry yet). After Harry informed them what had occurred the elves quickly got to work fixing up the library and pulling Petunia out from under all of the books. Petunia only had a sprained wrist and a small cut above her eye which was easily and quickly healed by Oswald.
"Was that m-my magic that turned the chair into that creature?" Petunia shakily asked.
"Yes, it was and don't worry I will help you to make sure it doesn't happen again," Hebe replied to her question.
"O-ok th-thank you."
"Now then, please no more fainting. We have some very important things to go over and I'd rather not have to keep waking you up every two minutes ok?"
Petunia couldn't get the words to form so she just nodded her head yes. After getting the confirmative from her, Hebe proceeded to explain everything she could to Petunia, including Harry's destiny and his true age, as well as Hermione's, despite being in an eleven-year old's body. Once Hebe had finished talking, she walked over to Petunia and placed a finger on her forehead which glowed blue for the second that she had touched it.
"What was that for, Hebe?" Hermione's curiosity getting the better of her.
"I simply gave her occlumency barriers that not even the Dark Witch Morgana would be able to bypass or break," Hebe said.
"Why would I need that?" A highly confused Petunia inquired.
"So this way the information I just imparted to you can't be stolen by any of the wizards or witches that are against Harry."
"Well I guess that makes sense," she agreed.
"Well now since I will be staying in this world for a while, I will be needing my own place to stay so I will be off now to acquire a place nearby and no you can't convince me to stay here –"
"Why not?" Harry asked as Hermione asked "Stay here?" at the same time.
"I want to. And If I did so it would only be bad for me and this whole thing would be for naught," Hebe told them before disappearing in thin air.
Three hours after Hebe left Harry asked the two girls if they had gotten their school supplies yet. Once he was informed that they hadn't, they begin to make plans to go to Diagon Alley but first Harry needed to contact his Godfather. It was still strange thinking of Severus Snape as such, but he quickly got over it. The Mind over Matter department had a part in that, knowing that old grudges would only cause him to hurt himself. He would basically be shooting himself in the foot and be glad about it.
"Hermione?"
"Yes, Harry?"
"Do your parents know where you are and would you like to pick them up to go shopping with us after I send this letter out to Severus?"
"Um… All I did was ask my mom for 50 pence she probably thinks I went to the library to be honest," she answered with a barely visible blush on her face.
'She looks even cuter when she blushes than before, especially with her slightly darker skin tone.' Harry thought to himself.
"I know right," Luna directed to Harry as if she knew his line of thought.
Harry looked at Luna with a dumbfounded look on his face and received a bright smile from her in return. Harry shook his head and went about finishing the letter to his godfather asking him to come to the manor to escort him and his guests to Diagon Alley. Harry whistled for Hedwig who immediately appeared by him and stuck out her leg with a soft hoot.
"Here you go, girl. I need you to bring this to Severus Snape and make sure the Headmaster doesn't see you if he is near him ok?"
Hedwig gave him a look that said 'duh I know better' and with a hoot she took off; one of the elves opening a window for her departure.
"You know Master Harry we could've made the trip must faster and could've brought your godfather here right after we got his answer?" Oswald inquired.
"I know Oswald, but Hedwig loves to fly and if she is anything like she is in my other lives she'll be mad at me for not sending her with the letter," came Harry's response.
"Very well then, Master Harry, if you need anything else feel free to ask. Now I must go finish my task," Oswald bowed before disappearing with a soft pop followed by Nixy.
Turning back to the three people remaining in the library Harry was about to say something when Dudley came into the room looking like he ran three miles to get here (in other words he got lost).
"I-I heard a, whew, a loud crashing sound is everyone alright?" Dudley asked out of breath.
"Yes, Dudley everyone is fine just a small mishap is all," Harry replied.
"Who are these two girls, Harry?"
"These are friends of mine Dudley, Hermione Jean Granger and Luna Sol Lovegood," Harry answered.
"Duddikins you know Hermione, she is the daughter of my best friend Emma Granger," Petunia added.
"Oh yeah sorry, Hermione I obviously just ran all the way here so I had sweat in my eyes and couldn't see you properly," Dudley said nervously.
"It's ok Dudley I understand," Hermione smiled at him.
Two hours after Dudley joined the group and everyone had breakfast, the floo flared and out stepped Severus who had brought Hedwig along, in a transfigured cage. She was not happy about her feathers getting dirty and made her displeasure known when released by pecking Severus until he spelled the soot off of her. Everyone laughed at the predicament that Severus found himself in till he glared at them all.
"If you are all done laughing at my expense, I believe there was ask to escort you lot to Diagon Alley," he huffed.
"I'm sorry Sev, but she told you what's what," Petunia giggled at him.
"Hedwig is a very independent owl and has no problems telling anyone what's what," Harry agreed.
"She's like a fury in owl form," Hermione seconded with a wry smile, Luna nodded agreeing with her assessment.
"I will remember that for the future," Sev sniffed, "I am Severus Snape and I will be your potions master for the next seven years. While we are at Hogwarts I am going to insist that you call me Professor or sir, so as not to arouse any suspicion. In the meantime my name or sir will suffice."
They all nodded while Hermione and Luna chirped, "Yes, sir."
"Hn. Are you all ready?"
"Yes, Sev. We have money and pockets, whereas you have a wand –"
"With no trace," Hermione chipped in.
"With no trace," Petunia continued, "so you can shrink or lighten our loads depending on the items."
"Clever girl," Severus said as he looked at Hermione carefully before continuing, "Normally I would force you all to carry everything in your cauldrons. I may at least shrink the larger items and lighten the cauldrons… maybe," he finished with a teasing drawl and a quirk of his lips.
Once Severus was satisfied that they all were ready he instructed them on how to use the floo network.
"Now you take a bit of floo powder throw it into the fireplace and make sure you enunciate your words very carefully. We don't want or need you getting lost somewhere along the way. Now Petunia, since you are the only non-magical one here you will have to travel with either me or one of the children since they are," Severus explained.
Petunia looked at Harry who just nodded his head telling her it was ok to keep her magic secret for now till they brought Severus in on everything.
"Ok Sev, I'll travel with you since you have more experience with this kind of travel."
With the travel order set Severus and Petunia went first, followed by Luna and Hermione with Dudley and Harry taking up the rear.
"Ok Dudley let me do the speaking to use the floo so this way we won't get lost," Harry gently ordered.
Dudley nods his head in answer to what Harry said. The two boys stepped into the hearth after Harry grabbed a pinch of floo powder.
"Diagon Alley!" Harry shouted clearly.
The two disappeared in the green flames only to shoot out the other side at the exit in the Leaky Cauldron like two bottle rockets knocking down Severus in the process.
