I am SO SORRY! Not only did I not know what to put for this, I also lost the document for this, so I didn't come up with anything (as in, forced myself to concentrate on this) until I found it again.
I am ALSO sorry about how SHORT it was: I just couldn't find anything else to add to it that I could think of… … ...
Chapter 6: Moving In
The next day, Garry, Mary, and Harry were visited by Dumbledore, as well as a couple of the other members of Hogwarts' staff. The staff members aided Garry in packing up his belongings, in addition to shrinking furniture for transport. While they had to be careful with the electronics and some of the appliances had to be kept unshrunk, the additional help meant they were able to gather up everything and get it loaded into Garry's car for transport.
What came next was the group arriving at Ib's house, and the furniture being moved to a portion of the house that was relatively unused. The wizards, in the meantime, kept the stuff shrunk until it was moved into the house, where it was unshrunk.
Meanwhile, Ib showed Mary and Harry around the house. Ib's place was rather large: not exactly the size of a Mansion, but definitely bigger than the average house, showing that Ib's family DID have a level of wealth to their name. Both Harry and Mary were awed by the novelty of such a house (Mary due to it being a REAL house, while Harry, due to it being a BIG and NICE house, that he'd be living in).
"Why didn't you say anything about living in a place like this?" Mary asked, excitedly.
"It's...well...I never got what a big deal it was...not to mention others in school got kinda jealous so… … …" Ib replied, shyly.
Mary came forward and hugged the girl. "You know I don't care about stuff like that: You're my best friend after all!"
Ib smiled at that, as did Harry, who watched the scene. Once Mary separated, she said, "So, what's it like living here?"
Ib smiled, before getting started on explaining.
Meanwhile, the wizards, Callahans, and Garry were organizing the furniture that was brought from Garry's place.
One of the wizards that Dumbledore brought, Arthur Weasley, decided to try conversing with Garry. "So...where DID you find Harry? Everyone in the Wizarding World was looking for him…"
Garry sighed. "They wouldn't have found him there...tell me: are you familiar with the Fabricated World?"
"Just stories: it's a world that the German wizard Guertena Weiss painted and made real through Magic, but it's said to be dangerous to humans…Why do you ask?"
"Well, it isn't a story: the Fabricated World is real. I know: Ib and I have been there…" Garry replied.
"Really? I thought it was just a story," Mr. Weasley replied.
"It isn't: it's very real, AND very dangerous to the unwary or unwelcome…" Garry replied.
"And yet you and Ib have been there?" Mr. Weasley asked in shock.
Garry nervously replied, "Ib and I...are not necessarily...unwelcome there…"
Mr. Weasley's eyes widened. "You mean you two are welcome in that world?"
"By its more powerful denizens, yes," Garry replied, "We're in fact best friends with its most powerful in-...well, former inhabitant...it doesn't matter right now, we need to get this furniture moved into place…"
"Ah, yes! Of course! Of course!" Mr. Weasley replied, getting back to work.
Once the work was done, the wizards and witches departed from the Callahans, Dumbledore making a point of saying goodbye to Harry and his new friends.
Once gone, Dumbledore assured McGonagall, "Do not fret, I'm certain I haven't made the same mistake twice…"
"I'm not: I remember Ms. Sa-I mean, Mrs Callahan...from her days at Hogwarts, and if her husband is anything like her, then Harry is in good hands...I still worry about Mr Anders, though…"
"I do as well, but who knows: maybe this will be a step in the right direction...and maybe this will also allow Harry to ready himself before coming to Hogwarts," Dumbledore said.
McGonagall thought for a moment, before saying, "Still...what ever happened to him 'growing up away from his fame'?" McGonagall asked Dumbledore.
Eye twinkling, Dumbledore replied, "I'm certain Mr. Anders will raise him as Harry Potter the child, not as Harry Potter the celebrity...and not to mention with Ms. Weiss as a sister, and the Callahans as well...Mrs Callahan's a strong witch and I'm certain I saw a few muggle Military awards for Mr. Callahan...they can keep him safe. And we both saw young Ib...she reminds me so much of Harry's mother when she was just starting out at Hogwarts...I'm certain this is a better situation for Harry...I am certain he'll grow up happy and healthy…" 'And maybe...Ms. Weiss and her world can give me the means to save Harry from what Voldemort left behind… … …'
Ib shows the other kids around their new home, Garry talks about the Fabricated World a bit to Mr. Weasley, and it looks like Dumbledore's thinking Mary and the Fabricated World can help Harry somehow...
Alright, so, here's something I want to know: What should I continue this story with? I honestly am stuck on how to continue this story, so what do you want me to do: try and crawl through Harry's childhood, or skip ahead to his first year at Hogwarts, describing what happened during his childhood as flashbacks?
