Author Note To reply to Tenjos Review
First Dumbledore's spell is basically a combination of the Imperious and Confundus it could have been resisted by someone with strong mental defenses and in the right state of mind but considering the Potters and their friends where shaken up by Voldemort's attack and surprised they where not able to resist that time but i did not intend for it to be a Super Spell.
Also if your confused by the Summary it will make sense in due time but not while Harry is with the Dursleys.
Also Harrys personality will become more stable as time goes on just as I belief 7 Year old's don't have a full stable personality yet.
Thanks for reviewing I apricate it.
Chapter 7
October 10th 1985
Surrey, England
Harry stood by the side of the creek staring at the rock across the way.
Daphne and her family where on vacation in Germany right now and he decided to have some alone time down by the creek bed.
The other day Harry had accidentally knocked over a vase at the Dursleys home with what he realized was Magic although magic being used accidentally.
Thankfully Uncle Vernon was at work at Aunt Petunia was out with Dudley at the moment and Harry was able to repair the vase but the incident scared him.
He had knocked over the vase with magic and was able to repair it with magic.
It was a close call.
That vase was one of the Dursleys prized possessions and Harry knew he would have gotten in a fair bit amount of trouble if any of them had been home at the moment.
Harry was then determined to learn to control his outbreaks of accidental magic so that it did not get him in trouble with the Dursleys.
And he was eager to get to learning magic even if he wouldn't be going to Hogwarts for some time.
Learning magic though without any formal education on the matter was easier said than done though.
He had been relying heavily on his dreams about Tom Riddle that had in recent months become even more descriptive so to say.
In his dreams Harry could see Tom conducting wand movements for various spells in class to do Magic but Harry had a problem in that without a wand or a Professor he wasn't really sure what he was doing.
But that's the point of experimentation in the first place isn't it.
And he did have elementary textbooks that Daphne had taken out of her house to give to him which was nice and Harry had spent much time going over them.
He had then decided that the first thing that he would work on was levitating objects.
In a dream he had Harry remembered someone telling Tom about focus and how you needed to really want something to happen in order for it to happen.
Now how to apply that to Harrys situation was the question.
He had picked out books in how to meditate and was trying his best to work on meditating at least once a day but that was a challenging endeavor with everything going on around him and with everything going on with the Dursleys and at school.
While he had only been studying Meditation for a month or so and wished that he was seeing more results he was willing to wait as long as it took for him to reach the right strait of mind.
That's why he wanted to spend some time when Daphne was away by the creek practicing his meditation where he could get some relative peace and quiet.
He was making progress.
His goal was also to figure out how to lift things.
Harry had read in one of the books Daphne had gotten him about this spell on levitation.
Wingardium Leviosa.
It was a spell learned by first year Hogwarts Students and Harry was determined to get it down non verbally and without a wand.
He was trying to lift the rock my imagining it going up and willing it.
It had worked though.
Up an inch or two that is.
But it was progress.
He was determined when he got to Hogwarts to be the best in the year.
Harry had been sent away to the Dursleys and he would show everyone what a bad decision that was to discard a child.
Focusing real hard Harry willed the rock to lift.
Gasping Harry opened his eyes to see the rock lifting now about five or six feet above the ground.
Wonderful.
It had taken many hours of practice and concentration but Harry had basically finally been able to do a wandless and wordless Levitation Charm.
And Harry thought that if he practiced more he would be able to get his time down.
That was the hope anyway
SCENE CHANGE
Harry smiled as sitting in Mrs. Reinhardt's class he saw Daphne entering the room after having been late to school because of a medical appointment.
Daphne waved to him as she sat down at his table.
Soon after Mrs. Reinhardt had given announcements and instructions for the day Harry turned to work with Daphne and talk about their plans this weekend to go to the zoo.
The Surrey Zoo was a nice place in town that Harry and the Dursleys would be visiting and they would explore on there own.
Daphne would be meeting them at the zoo and going in with them and her parents would give her some muggle money.
Aunt Petunia had basically said that she would give them a map and a place to meet up with at in four hours and until then they basically had free rome.
Harry did not know what to think about that.
He had gotten used to his relatives attitude towards him and although it stung at times to see Dudley getting pampered and not him Harry recognized that their uncaring attitude so to say could be much worse.
After all they could hate him.
And he liked how much he was left alone.
After all Harry was looking forward to exploring the zoo alone with Daphne.
He worried a bit about if anyone would notice two eight year old's walking around in the zoo on there own but he figured not.
There was always a lot of people in the library when he went in there with Daphne and even though they had gotten a few looks they had never been asked before where there parents where.
And he hoped the zoo would be just the same.
He would definitely make sure to stay by his friend
SCENE CHANGE
On the next Saturday Harry and the rest of the Dursleys where driving towards to zoo before they stopped at a park.
Daphne's house was actually pretty close to the zoo but because her parents where magical and did not have a Muggle way off getting to the zoo they had worked out that Daphne would bike to a local park where they would pick her up and then go to the zoo together.
Harry was very happy when Daphne finally got in the car.
She had made an effort to dress fashionably by muggle standards to impress the Dursleys and it seems to have worked.
He could not tell what Uncle Vernon was thinking because of his driving but Harry could see that Aunt Petunia gave a approving nod which Harry appreciated.
And Dudley just started at Daphne.
So that was nice.
Soon though they got to the zoo and after the Dursleys got them in Petunia showed them there meeting place and before they knew it Daphne and Harry where off exploring on there own.
"Come on Harry"Daphne said said dragging him towards the seal exhibit.
He just smiled and followed along as his friend dragged him along to where she wanted to go.
Daphne had looked up the animals at the zoo beforehand anyway and would be more knowledgeable about the best places to go in the zoo anyway,
"Wow "They both said as they entered the Aquarium to see the splendor of the ocean creatures inside.
Turns out there was more than just seals but manatees,dolphins,stingrays and all other types of wildlife in the tanks.
As they walked through the exhibit and explored the various exhibits around Harry found the animals to be quite fascinating.
Daphne seemed to be a hundred times more excited about this all than he was though.
Her face constantly seemed to be shifting to various levels of awe and wonder.
Harry was glad that she was enjoying this so much.
They had a blast exploring the ocean life
Both of their favorite animals to see though where the manta rays when they got to touch them in the little pool along with all the other kids who seemed to be excited to pet them.
Daphne seemed a bit nervous about that at first actually but once Harry had taken the first move in putting his hands in the water she soon followed and turned out really liked petting the manta rays.
After leaving the Water Animals area the two of them decided to go see the some more animals and they went to go walk through the Wanyama Village where they saw ,a lot of animals
Next was going to the Azteca Hotel and after that Harry wanted to go visit the Reptile House before they had to meet back up with the Dursleys but Daphne dragged them to the Penguin and Panda areas before hand.
Which after visiting the Penguins and the Pandas she somehow convinced him to accompany her to the petting zoo which he did.
So they would not be able to visit the Reptile House before it was time to go but boy was it worth going to the petting zoo with Daphne.
She just loved every animal they had in that petting zoo trying to get to them all before it was time to go.
He swore that she would have gone into the pen with the baby sheep to cuddle them if she had the opportunity.
Harry was glad to see Daphne all happy and giddy though it definitely made the whole trip to the zoo worthwhile.
They would have to go there again sometime.
But now it was unfortunately time to meet up with the Dursleys and go.
They had been there for nearly four hours and had seen quite a lot of animals in the process.
And hearing Daphne go on and on about how cute all the animals where definitely made this day pretty good.
Harry was a little sad that they didn't get to the Reptile House today so he could try out his Parseltoung some more but today made Daphne happy so Harry was happy too.
Soon they reached the pavilion that was the designated meeting place with Harrys relatives who once they saw the two of them approaching quickly started heading back to the car.
Harry noticed that none of the Dursleys seemed to really talk about the Zoo what they had done or ask Harry and Daphne where they had gone but that was par and course.
He knew they where incredibly generous for taking him in and Harry didn't expect them to treat him like they do Dudley.
Daphne seemed to notice that too and seemed a little bit peeved at the Dursleys inattentiveness but she had been around Harry for long enough to know not to say anything.
Instead the two of them just stayed back a little bit and chatted in small whispers as they went back to the car.
Leaving the zoo parking lot they drove by the park with Daphne's bike in it which she headed over to go get after telling Harry that she would see him in class on Monday.
After getting home then Harry helped the Dursleys bring in there stuff before going up to his room to read a bit before bed.
Making sure that the Dursleys where occupied Harry closed his door before taking out a small stone from under his bed.
This was his levitation stone.
He was using wandless magic to practic lifting this stone.
Practice makes perfect.
As he focused Harry throught about his day.
His first time going to the zoo was actually quite enjoyable.
Go figure.
They would have to go again.
