YEAR FOUR
Harry stepped out into the open, pointed his wand up, and shouted, "Accio –" But the Horntail lashed out and Harry was forced to take cover behind a boulder. He hoped against hope that his broom would come to him, he didn't know how to get past a dragon otherwise. Harry heard a shout of surprise from the crowd and the sound of something whizzing through the air.
A sword landed beside him. "The Sword of Truth." His wand seemed to whisper. A shield landed next to it. "The Shield of Virtue."
"Oh my goodness." Harry groaned. "What's going to come next, a goose laying the golden eggs?"
Harry gathered his strength to pick them up, only to find them weightless. He jumped out from behind the boulder and surveyed the area for the Horntail . . . there. A spurt of fire came, Harry raised the Shield of Virtue and it bounced off, he lifted the Sword of Truth and it sent a bolt of lightning at the Horntail and the dragon collapsed, stunned.
"Well . . . that was easy." Harry said to himself. Slowly he walked over to where the golden egg was. As he picked it up, the crowd went wild.
"Here Ron, you can wear my dress robes." Harry said. It was the night of the Yule Ball and Ron was complaining about his clothing.
"What will you wear?"
Harry shrugged. "I'll find something."
Ron smiled with relief. "Thanks, Harry." He pulled the robes on and left the dormitory. Soon Harry was the only one left. He sat on his bed with his head in his hands.
"What will I wear to the ball?" He wondered aloud. A shimmering light filled the room and Harry looked up to see a tall man in shimmery clothing holding a wand that looked like Harry's.
"Who are you?" Harry asked rather rudely.
"Isn't it obvious, kid? I'm your Fairy Godfather."
Harry blinked. "I have a personal Fairy Godfather?"
The Fairy Godfather checked his watch. "Well, not exactly. I'm assigned to Hogwarts. We're sort of low on staff."
"Fairy Godfather –"
"Carl."
"Carl, then. Why are you here?"
Carl laughed. "Any question about balls is automatic Fairy Godparent material. You learn it at Fairy School."
"Fairy School?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, all the fairies went there. Tooth Fairy, Sleeping Beauty's Fairies. . . ."
"How are fairies chosen?"
"We watch kids all over the world," Carl said. "And those that have fairy abilities are brought to school to see the Head."
"What are the abilities and who's the Head?" Harry questioned.
"Classified information. But to tell you, I wasn't all to happy to be chosen as a fairy." Carl twirled his wand thoughtfully. "So, you needed something to wear?"
Harry looked down and noticed he was wearing the best dress robes he'd ever seen.
"Just be back by midnight, 'kay?" Carl tapped Harry with the star on the tip of his wand. "Have fun!"
