Harry Potter and his Seventh Year

Chapter One: Prologue

Harry Potter was just getting ready to leave #4 Privet Drive for the final time on his 17th birthday. He was leaving the next morning, to go to #12 Grimmauld place to wait out his final year to start. He had a fairly quiet summer so far, for he and his relatives knew that when he left this time, he wasn't coming back. He came down to dinner the night of July 30th for his last dinner at this place. He and his Uncle Vernon had a agreement this summer, and actually got along after talking one night. No he wasn't going to get anything from them for his birthday, or at least he thought he wasn't, but he wasn't expecting anything really.

When he showed up at dinner and had his seat, he smiled at his Aunt and Uncle and Couse Dudley. "Good evening all, I hope that all of you have had a great day so far. I have gotten all my homework done for the summer, so I have had a great summer so far. Are you looking forward to your final year at Smelting Dudley?" He knew that Dudley had finally gotten himself a girlfriend and had lost a lot of weight over the last year that he was gone at school. He had met Mandy, and they all got along quite well. Of course he hadn't told her about his magic, but then again she was a Muggle, so he couldn't.

Dudley looked at him with a grin. "Oh yah Harry, this is going to one fun year. Have you heard yet whether or not you have made Head Boy yet? Or whether or not Mione has made Head Girl?" He knew that Harry had a thing for his best friend, and was going to talk to her about it once he got to where he was going.

"Nah, we haven't gotten our school letters yet, but I'm hoping to get mine tonight, so that I can have it before I head to where I'm going. Mione is doing great, and says hello to you all. Her parents thank you for inviting them to dinner earlier this summer, and were wondering if you all were wanting to come over to their place for a barbecue towards the end of August, just before we are to head back to school." Harry brought this up to his relatives, who seemed to get along with the Grangers when they finally met, and his relatives found that they were muggles like themselves.

Uncle Vernon looked at his wife and son and nodded. "We'll take and give them a call sometime this week to make arrangements. Do you need a ride somewhere tomorrow Harry? Didn't you say you were going for your aparition license tomorrow?" He had no problems with magic now, especially after Harry defeated Voldemort at the end of his 6th year. With that, the spell that was on him and his family to get them to hate magic was broken.

Harry looked at them and shook his head. "Nope, Hermione is going to come pick me up in the morning, and we're going to make a day of it in London. Your welcome to join us if you like Dudley. We're going to go do some shopping in Diagon Alley, and have some fun for my birthday." He looked at his cousin, who had been wanting to visit the wizadring shopping area for some time this summer, and Harry kept telling him that he would take him some time.

Dudley looked at his parents for permission and when Aunt Petunia nodded he pumped his fist yes. "Sounds like fun Harry, as long as you don't think that I will be in the way of you and Mione. I know that it is your birthday and all, and that you didn't get to go with me on mine that much, but thank you." He smiled at him and chuckled at the thought of all the trouble that they can get into. "Can I invite Mandy to come along?" He was hopeful to be able to invite his girlfriend along with them, even tho she didn't know about Harry's world. 'I mean for when we go to London, not while at Diagon Alley."

Harry looked at him and shrugged, "I will have to ask Mione whether or not she cares, but it shouldn't be a problem. They get along quite well. Dinner is delicious as always Aunt Petunia." He smiled at his Aunt as he ate his Lasagna. They were having a casual conversation when Headmaster Dumbledores Phoenix Fawkes flashed in and dropped a big envelope on Harry's side of the table. The rest of the family were wondering who's beautiful bird it was, for they hadn't seen Fawkes before.

Harry looked at Fawkes and smiled. "Thank you Fawkes, is he expecting an answer of some kind.. Oh I'm sorry Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon, this is my Headmasters Phoenix Fawkes. Don't worry, he's a good guy." Harry smiled at the thought as he stroked the plumes on his head, and Fawkes crooned Phoenix song to them, giving them all good feelings. He picked up the packet and smiled at the weight of it. "Looks like along with my school letter, a few other things have come." He smiled and chuckled at the thought about what was in this packet of paperwork. He wasn't worried, and he could feel some kind of badge in it, and since he had the Quidditch Captain Badge already, there are only two left. It's either a Prefect or a Head boy badge. While he was hoping for one over the other, he would be happy for either.

He thanked Fawkes, who crooned and disappeared as he came in a flash of bright light. He then took his butter knife and opened up the packet of paperwork. He pulled out the badge first and smiled when he saw what it was. "Looks like I got the Head Boy job everyone." He turned it around to show them all the badge. He then started looking through the paperwork and shook his head in laughter. He handed Dudley a sheet of paper and chuckled at his look. "Your going to see Mandy after dinner aren't you Dud?" He knew full well that he was going over to her place to 'Study' and that he wouldn't be back til late tonight. "You can invite her to Diagon Alley with us tomorrow, it seems that she has some magic in her family, but she is a Squib, so she already knows about my world." He laughed at the looks on his relatives faces.

"So your saying that Mandy knows about your world because she's a Squid?" Dudley wasn't quite comprehending this situation right now, and wondered when he got into dating a squid. He wasn't the brightest light in the flock, but he still didn't want to date a animal. He looked at Harry and his mother and father, wondering why they were laughing their heads off. At least his mother and cousin were, his father was just as confused as he was.

Harry looked at his Aunt, wondering what she knew about the Squibs. Was she one also? But that would mean that his mother was from a magical family and not a muggle family. "How do you know about Squibs Aunt Petunia? It's Squibs not Squids Dudley. Don't worry, she's not a 10 armed animal. A Squib is a non-magical person that is born of a magical family. Whereas muggle borns are magical people born of muggle family's. Does that make sense to you two?" He smiled at the thought that his Aunt was actually a Squib instead of a Muggle.

Aunt Petunia looked between them all and sighed. "Ok you all should know the truth. I'm not from a Muggle family like everyone thought of my sister. My parents were a Witch and Wizard that had moved to the Muggle world to try to get away from Voldemort and not be killed. They left when they had me, because I was a Squib, and they didn't know that they were going to have Lilly at this time and that she would be a Witch. I'm sorry Vernon, I didn't mean to deceive you, but I have loved you for some time, and I know that you didn't like the idea of abnormal people." She looked worriedly at her husband, wondering what he was going to say about this new revelation. She never hated her sister, and in fact they had gotten along great before they had to go into hiding. She only treated Harry that way because of a spell that they were under.

Vernon looked between the three of them and then at his wife. He took a deep breath and knew that what he did next would either make or break him. He was also hiding a big secret from his family, and didn't know how to break it to them. "Petunia my flower, there is something that I have been hiding from you since before we met also. You see I'm not exactly a Muggle either. I'm not a wizard either but actually a Elf." He waved his hand over his face, and his appearance changed completely. He lost all the excess weight, and his hair grew longer, looked about 10 years younger than his 40 years. His ears pointed and his face elongated. "I am Prince Chandler Candelstone, Prince of the Elven kingdom. Dudley is ½ elf and also a Prince. I was going to tell you all before Harry left, and that I was going to take you to the elven kingdom when Dudley got out of school. You know all those business trips that I was on, most of them were doing stuff in the Elven Realms." He looked at them and chuckled at the reactions he was getting.

Dudley looked at them and shook his head. "So I'm ½ elf, and my mother is of a wizadring family, a Squib. Now that I know this, why don't I have any magic in me. Don't the elves have their own magic and stuff like that Dad?" He looked at him with a strange look, and wondered what he was supposed to actually look like. "Take the spell off me dad, I want to see what I really look like, please/" He tapped his foot while waiting for his father to do what he had asked.

Petunia feinted right away from learning what her husband had said, so she didn't see Dudley change his look to his Elven look when his father waved his hand at him. Whereas Harry shook his head and laughed as he saw what Dudley looked like. "So why does my Headmaster know the truth about you Uncle Vernon? I wouldn't be surprised if he does, and has been hiding it from me like everything else he had been hiding. Don't worry, your secret is safe with me. So is there any other surprises and secrets that I should know before I take off tomorrow?"

"Well there is the part about your twin sister that is going to Hogwart's with you at this time. She doesn't know about you two being twins, but I know that she's a friend of yours, even tho in the house you hate. Yes Harry, Blaise is your sister, and you need to tell her about it this year. She needs to find out and you two need to get together again. Now is there anything else, let me think... Me a Squib, your Uncle a Elven Prince, your twin sister is a friend of yours, your parents still alive, nope that's all." Aunt Petunia was awake from her feinting spell now, and talking up a storm.

Harry looked at her with eyes wide. "Wait did you say my parents are still alive. How can that be, they were killed 16 years ago by Voldemort, and that's why I was sent to live with you guys. I want some answers please."

She looked at him with a shrug. :"Well your Aunt Marge isn't your Aunt Marge, but your mother Lilly Potter, and Ripper is one of James Ani-Magi forms. They couldn't come out and say anything, and I know he is sorry for being an arse to you in his dog form."

Harry feinted that time, and was out for a couple of hours. Luckily they had already had dinner, and Harry was put in his room to rest. They went to bed that night, and tomorrow was going to be a different day.
