Harry Potter a different life

Chapter 14

Harry awoke very early the next morning. It was only 6:30am. He smiled as he remembered yesterday evening.

Flashback

After Dinner they all, except Charlotte and Marc who went to bed, went to Harrys room. They were all shocked to see a small Griffin lying in front of the fireplace. They sat down on the Couches and armchairs. "This is Leo he is my Familiar…don´t worry he is very nice" Harry told them. Ginny immediately got up and went over to him to stroke him.

"You´ve got a cool room Harry it´s like a small common room" Fred said as he looked around.

"Yeah you could have great Parties here" George added. Percy got up and looked at the Books.

"Wow you´ve got many useful Books here Harry" Percy said and pulled one out. It was a Book about laws.

"Thanks I like Books and as I don´t know many about the Wizarding world I thought to buy some more than just schoolbooks" Harry said. "But we´ve got more in the Library on the ground floor" he added.

"Really. Could I take a look at them?" Percy asked.

"I think so…but be carefully some of them are very old. When you get to the ground floor just turn left" Harry said and Percy left the room.

"Wow he sure loves Books" Emily said laughing. Everyone joined in.

"So you two excited about Hogwarts?" George asked Harry and Susan.

"Yes Professor McGonagall said that there will be a lot of changes…I can´t wait from what I read about it, it sounds awesome" Harry said eager.

"Yeah Aunt Amelia told me lots of stories form her time at school" Susan said happily.

"I want to go too" Ginny whined.

"Next year Ginny…but we promise we will write to you and send you some stuff…we are allowed to go to Hogsmeade this year" Fred said.

"But what will I do without you guys for a whole year" she whined more.

"Hey maybe we can hang out some times I will start next year as well" Emily suggested.

"Yeah that would be awesome…I could come in the mornings and leave before Dinner" Ginny said eager.

"On weekend yes…I will go to the local school here during the week from 8am-15pm but afterwards you can always come over" Emily said. Ginny looked sad for a moment but then agreed. Two hours later they all had to leave. But not without the promise that they were allowed to visit each other as much as they want and of course go to Ginny´s, Emily´s and Percy´s birthdays.

End of Flashback

Harry went down to the Kitchen where his mother was making Breakfast.

"Morning Harry" she said and placed some waffles in front of him.

"Morning…what are we doing today?" Harry asked.

"Well I think your dad wants to teach you Quidditch and I am going shopping with Marc and Charlotte" Lily said and Harry nodded. They continued to eat in silence. Soon the whole Family was down and finished breakfast. James, Emily and Harry went outside to practice some Quidditch. They took the Brooms and the Ball box out and went to one side of the pitch.

"Okay I will show you some Keeper moves. Emily as you are the better Chaser of the two of you I want you to take the Quaffle and fly to the middle of the Pitch. I will fly up to the goal posts. Then you will fly forward and try to make a goal…Harry you will fly to the same height on the side and watch…okay?" James said. They nodded and took positions. After 20 minutes they changed positions. James was now Chaser, Harry keeper and Emily watched. Harry did his best and out of 50 shots he kept 20. They again changed but James was still Chaser. She kept 23 out of 50 shots. They flew back down. James was impressed.

"You two did very well…I mean I haven´t played for years but I am still a lot better than school kids. The fact that you kept more than 5 shots at you age is impressive" he said as they sat down on the grass to drink some water. "Next we will do Seeker but not before Lunch. For now I will just explain some more rules" James said and for the next 2 hours he explained the rules of Quidditch. After that they just flew around the Pitch. Harry loved flying he felt so free and forgot all of his problems. When they got to Lunch they saw a very happy Lily sitting at the counter. "Why so happy Lils?" James asked as he grabbed a sandwich.

"I just got a Letter from Gringotts. They have located your Parents but they are out of the country so it will take a while to bring them here" Lily said smiling.

"Great I can´t wait" James said happy. They ate in silence for a few minutes. "Okay Kids from tomorrow on I will start teaching you some etiquette. It is required to start learning once you turn 6 years old and as you are from a noble and ancient Family you will have to learn it. You will also learn how to dance as we will have to hold two balls each year…that is Family tradition. Sadly I only know the male part so you Emily will just have to put up with that until my Mum gets here…you understand?" James said.

"Why do we have to?" Marc asked.

"Because we are socially far above most other Family´s and the family is well respected. You heard the Muggle Royal Family doing it and we are somewhat the same in the Wizarding Word" James said and Marc nodded.

"When are these balls?" Emily asked.

"One is near Christmas and the other one around Easter…we also have a private new years and summer ball. At the two official Balls we will have to invite most of the noble Family´s even thru we don´t like them much. The private once are just for us and Friends" James said. The kids nodded. After Lunch James, Harry and Emily went back outside to the Quidditch pitch.

James took out some muggle Golf balls. "Okay we will start with you Emily. Get on your broom and fly high over the Pitch. I will fly up as well and then I will start throwing these Golf balls. I want you to fly after them and try to catch them. If you catch one bring it back to me" James said and they flew up. An hour later they were done. Emily caught 10 out of 50. Now it was Harrys try. He was flying so fast that they could hardly see him. Harry caught 40 out of 50. When they got back down James was impressed.

"Wow Harry I never seen anyone fly so fast…you are a born Seeker" James said proud "Want to try with the training Snitch?" he asked. Harry nodded eager and flew back up. James released the snitch and it immediately flew up high. It took Harry about 15 minutes to find it. It was on the other side of the Pitch. Harry flew after it but as soon as he got near it the Snitch flew downwards. Harry flew after it. He flew in a straight angle downwards. James and Emily started to scream in fear. Just as Harry was about to crash into the ground he caught the Snitch and flew back upwards. When Harry landed he found himself in a bone crushing hug from his father and sister.

"Wow that was amazing…scary but amazing…just don´t do that when your mother is near" James said proud as they put the stuff back into the cupboard.

"Okay…It was fun…I love being so fast" Harry said as they walked back inside. Harry went back to his room, grabbed a book and sat on the couch. Leo curled up next to him. Minutes later he could hear his mother calling for him. He went down. "What is it?" he asked.

"You have got a letter" Lily said and handed him the envelope. Harry opened it.

HOGWARTS SCHOOL of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY

Headmistress: Minerva McGonagall

Dear Mr. Potter,

We are pleased to inform you that new books will be added to your first booklist. This is due to the fact that some subjects were neglected in recent decades.

Yours sincerely,

Fillius Flitwick

Deputy Headmaster

COURSE BOOKS

All students should have a copy of each of the following:

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

By Newt Scamander

Muggleborn Guide thru the Wizarding World

By Samantha Smith

Harry finished reading out loud. "Well I think we need to get to Diagon Alley tomorrow then" Lily said and took the list from Harry. The Kids were all excited to go and went to bed early that day. Lily and James were sitting on the couch in their room. "I am great that Minerva is now Headmistress" Lily said.

"Me too…she will make sure that nothing will happen to Harry…I wonder if she found new teachers" James said.

"Andromeda send me a letter earlier saying that McGonagall asked her…she agreed. She also asked if she could come around some time" Lily said as she snuggled closer into James.

"That would be great…Hey isn´t her daughter a Metamorphmagus?" James said.

"Yeah I think so…do you think she would teach Harry?" Lily asked.

"Maybe it doesn't hurt to ask" James said and yawned.

"Come on sleepyhead let´s get to bed" Lily said and winked.

"I like the way you think Love" James said and kissed her.

So what do you think?

I know that Fantastic Beasts is already on the official Hogwarts Letter but i don´t know why as they don´t have Care of Magical Creatures as First years...do you know why it is on the list?
