Chapter 2: Memories Last Forever

Last time on Harry Potter and the Year of Surprises:

"You are my cousin?"

"What?" Mark said to the boy who lived whom he didn't know who he was until he saw his scar.

"You're her son Harry Potter aren't you your famous and you defeated Voldemort 5 times man you are amazing."

"Your famous?' Dudley asked.

"Yes what does that have to do with you?" Harry said coldly.

"Nothing just asking." Dudley said.

"I didn't know Lily had anymore family left." Tonks said coming out of the bush. She was looking at Tim.

"Mark why don't you go home which house do you live in?"

"Number 2."

"Okay I will talk with you later okay."

"Okay it was nice meeting my cousin." Mark grinned and Harry watched him go home now one followed him.

"So this is your cousin eh?" Tonks said glaring at Dudley.

Now on with the chapter...

"Yep this is Dudley." Harry said to Tonks who was looking at Dudley with fascination.

"Who are you?" Dudley said rudely.

"I wouldn't mess with her she is very good at magic she is so good with it she can change her appearance watch." Tonks got the hint. She screwed up her face in concentration and her hair became bright orange and yellow eyes. And this of course scared Dudley and he ran home. Tonks and Harry both laughed as they watched him run towards number 4.

"Hey Harry I will levitate you into your room so it will seem you never left, and when he tells your aunt and uncle you wont get in trouble okay?" Tonks said through giggles. They ran to number 4 and only Tonks was out of breath. "Alright Harry stand still." She levitated him to his bedroom and he went in, picked up a book and laid on his bed and read the book it was a book he had taken from the Room of Requirement.

"BOY!" Uncle Vernon bellowed up the steps. Harry went downstairs and met with his uncle's purple face.

"Yes Uncle Vernon?" Harry said in his usual voice. Then Harry yawned and stretched.

"You know very well what I am talking about what did you do to Dudley he said you used well you know what on him." Harry pretended to look perplexed.

"I have been in my bedroom reading." Harry said sternly.

"Really. So if I went up there I would see a book laying on the bed?"

"Yes."

"Rubbish you could have been out there come in past me and my wife and up to your room and laid the book there to make it look like you were reading."

"Uncle Vernon one how could I get past you and Aunt Petunia if you were both in the kitchen you would have heard me come in because of the squeak door and you would have heard me go upstairs. Second I would use magic on Dudley unless if was for a good reason maybe I would use magic to make life a little easier I know a spell that could clean this house spotless in a instant or to make the garden so beautiful that Aunt Petunia would win that contest, or get things that you don't even have to buy. But no why would I Harry Potter the Boy Who Lived do something nice for his family that is right I wouldn't because I am so selfish with the magic I have just to torture you all with." Harry calmly said back to his uncle and went back upstairs, leaving the Dursleys speechless. Harry went upstairs back to his room and sat down to continue reading. Then to Harry's surprise there was a knock at the door.

"Come in it is open." Harry said. But not taking his eyes of the book's words.

"Hi Harry I am sorry." Dudley said.

"Right and I am guessing your mum and dad told you to say that so I can use magic around here for your every need."

"No, actually they said not to bother you or else you would call those people we met at the station. Well my dad said weird people but they are only weird to us because we don't know them and well maybe they are just like us but wizards."

"That is the most weird thing I have heard you say in like ever." Harry said.

"Actually the only reason I was ever mean to you is because my mum and dad told me to."

"Really well it will take time to trust you." Harry said taking his eyes off the book and closing it and putting it down.

"What is Defense Against the Dark Arts?" Dudley asked trying to show Harry he was interested.

"It is a class that is at my school and I teach a illegal, well it was a illegal club at school called Dumbledore's Army or Defense Against."

"Didn't that little kid say you were famous?"

"Yes well that is the reason I have my scar."

"What happened?"

"You really want to know?"

"Yeah."

"Err, okay well when I was 1 me and my parents were home one night and well there is this guy Voldemort he is a evil wizard uses magic for the worse not the better. Anyway he came to my house that night and killed my dad with a spell called an Unforgivable Curse. You could go to prison for it a prison called Azkaban guarded by the things that attacked us last year and you thought it was me because you couldn't see them. Well he killed my dad and then went to me but my mum said take me not Harry and he did and well no one can survive this curse except me. That was because my mum gave her life for mine and that is why I have a scar and no parents." Harry said to his cousin to was dumbfounded.

"Wow I didn't know." Dudley said in a sorry-please-forgive-me voice.

"Well you do now and after he tried to kill me he disappeared into a sprit and came back in my 1st year at Hogwarts and my second, fourth, and fifth."

"What happened those years?"

"This will take a while to explain."

"I don't have anything to do at the moment."

"Well what if I show you."

"How can you do that?"

"If I write a letter to Dumbledore and ask if I can borrow a pensive." Harry thought out loud.

"Okay that would be cool to see. What's a pensive?" Harry had a feeling that Dudley really wanted to know what happened in his life but every time Harry was here he was doing chores and never asked in front of his parents. Harry actually started to like his cousin.

"It is a thing to collect thoughts in and memories." Harry went and wrote a letter to Dumbledore asking to borrow the pensive.

"Okay it will take a while Hedwig will be back so she has to fly to London."

"Who is Dumbledore?"

"One of the most brilliant wizards known to anyone. He is the only one Voldemort fears." Harry said proudly.

"That is cool." You could see Dudley looking interested.

"Well what can you tell me bout that is easier to explain. I want to know more about this stuff."

"Do you want to see magic?"

"Yeah."

"Okay umm, hmm what should I do?"

"How about something to warm your room up it is getting cold."

"Alright then." Harry muttered the incantation for the blue fire and put it in a jar and took the lid off.

"Cool and warm."

"It is water proof and it wont burn your hand."

"Really how do you make it go out then?"

"Just use another spell." Then Fawks came in the window and dropped a small package on Harry's lap.

"That is a amazing looking bird."

"This a phoenix called Fawks. They never die they just burst into flame and have tears of healing powers saved my life in my second year." Harry opened the package while Dudley examined the bird and started to pet it and it cried on his hand.

"You were right look it is healing my cut."

"Thanks Fawks here take this and go to Dumbledore." He handed the bird a thank you note.

"That is interesting. Is that the pensive?"

"Yes it will take a little bit to do my first year so..."

"How about I will bring our dinner upstairs?" Dudley interrupted.

"Okay thanks."

"Alright you know Harry I don't see why I never seemed to liked you. You are very nice and forgiving I never wanted to do that stuff but if I didn't the guys at school would tell their parents who would tell my parents I am really sorry." Dudley got up and went downstairs while Harry took out his wand and began to collect the memories. Dudley came back with a lot of food.

"Thanks Dudley."

"No problem by the way I made mum and dad give you more it isn't fair you get a little bit and us get a lot."

"Well at Hogwarts we get feasts and stuff so I eat plenty there." They talked a little about Harry's school while they ate.

"Ready?"

"Yeah I want to see your adventures."

"Okay just lean into the thought watch me." Harry went into a thought he was on the train Dudley came into it too.

"Wow this is so cool. Is that you?" He pointed to a young boy with jet-black hair and broken glasses that covered his brilliant green eyes.

"Yeah and that is my best friend Ron Weasly you met him." Then Harry flicked his wand and they were in Hogwarts. They were in the Great Hall watching everyone get sorted.

"This place is huge."

"This is the Great Hall and we are in a castle it has seven floors."

"Cool." Harry showed Dudley around the first floor. Then Harry swished his wand and they were at potions class. After that they went to first flying lesson. Dudley was amazed and wanted to know if he could ride Harry's broomstick later. Harry said maybe. Next Fluffy then it was Christmas and this made Dudley feel guilty but Harry got a cloak then Norbert. After that research on Nicholas Flammel then the mirror. Then Dudley got excited when they watched the last Quidditch game of the season. Last was the Sorcerer stone.

"All that when you were eleven?" He asked Harry.

"Yep," then Harry showed him the summer before his second year. "That is Dobby. He is the one to make the dessert smash."

"Oh." Harry showed him his second year then his third, fourth, and fifth. Dudley was speechless. "You went through all that and you let us push you around? Man you are very strong."

"Well don't feel sorry for me."

"Okay. Why?"

"Because everyone does and well it is very bothersome."

"Dudley! We are going to bed!" Uncle Vernon yelled from his room.

"Alright dad."

"Well Harry wow look at the time I better get to bed to thanks for taking the time to show me your past."

"Yeah well night your welcome."

"Night sleep well."

"I'll try."
