Harry walked down the corridor in a hurry to reach the Great Hall.

In his excitement to see the Headmater,he had forgotten to eat breakfast. Harry was still thinking about the prophecy that said that he needed to defeat Lord Voldemort. He knew that he couldn't play around he needed to start preparing for him to return as soon as went down a staircase and reached the Great Hall. He saw Hermione sitting attempting to read and eat at the same time and Ron devouring as much food as possible he goes over to them and sits between them

Ron asks ''Where were you,mate?''

''In Headmaster Dumbledore's office,'' replies Harry.

''What did he want?'' Hermione inquires.

''He justed wanted to talk about Padfoot'' lied Harry.

He didn't want to tell them about the prophecy and risk them being tortured for information about it and considering Voldemort was weakened trying to kill a one year old he doubted torturing two teenagers was something Voldemort wouldn't do.

They both seemed to accept that answer with no suspicion and they had no reason to be suspicious considering Harry always told them what was going on however this was an exception to that.

Harry knew the only way he was going to defeat Voldemort was to learn as much as he can and the only way to do that was to get books but he didn't want to have to go to Diagon Alley everytime he wanted to get books so he asked Hermione

''Hey Hermione,how do you get your books the rest of the year?''

''Well,Flourish and Blotts has a catalogue you can order from as do most of the other stores have in Diagon Alley,why do you want to know?''

''No reason,I just wanted to know if there was another way to get supplies,'' Harry replies.

This was good too because it made it a lot easier to get the things needed to prepare with over the summer and today was the last day at Hogwarts so his friends couldn't question why he seems different.

''We should go to the common room to start packing.''says Hermione.

''Do we have to?''Ron complains.

''Yes,we have to Ronald,''says Hermione in her bossy tone.

They walk out of the Great Hall and go to the Gryffindor Common Room. They take about an hour to get everything into their trunks and to the entrance.

They start to walk to the train and Neville and Ginny join them at the train and they find an empty compartment and they all sit down and they start talking.

Harry asks ''What do the four of you plan to do this summer?''

Ron says ''I'll probably just fly for most of the summer and there are rumors that Britain will be holding the World Cup this year so hopefully my family will get to see that.''

Hermione says ''My family is planning to go to Italy for vacation this summer and I hope to see the magical alley called Vicolo Nascosto and learn about the culture.''

Neville shyly says ''I'm probably going to work in my garden and see the World Cup.''

Ginny says just as nervously ''Probably going to be doing the same thing as Ron and goto my friend Luna's house.''

Harry asks ''Who is Luna?''

''Luna Lovegood,she and her father live near the Burrow'' Ginny replies.

They reach King's Cross and get off the train and saw their respective family members and said goodbye to each other.

Harry walks over to Uncle Vernon and says ''This summer is going to be different.''

Vernon turns purple and almost shouts ''Oh,why is that?''

Harry smirks and then says ''Because this summer I can use my magic and the Ministry won't realize it.''

When Vernon heard this,he turned a very pale and looked like he was about to pass out.

Harry dragged him him with all his might to the car and they drove to go home.


August 18th,1994

Harry was thinking about the summer and about what he had done.

A lot had happened during this of the things that become a development during the summer was him hiring Dobby the house elf when the summer began he realized it wouldn't be practical for him to have to take the Knight Bus every time he wanted to go to Diagon Alley when he thought about the house elf he had freed the previous year he called out his name and to his pleasant surprise Dobby had popped in.

After hours of negotiating a contract they had agreed that Dobby would be paid 3 galleons a week and have 12 vacation days that he could use at any time and Dobby would become his servant who could leave at any time.

Dobby had several duties including him cooking,cleaning, and buying the things Harry needed or bringing Harry to Diagon Alley which happened rarely.

Harry had bought several books including Dueling for Dummies,The Battle Magicks,and Putting Transfiguration into Battle. Harry practiced his magic everyday to the point where he cast all spells up to Third Year nonverbally and was able to cast Sixth Year spells.

Another thing was that Harry got was new clothes. Harry realized he wasn't going to make many allies dressed up in rags,so he got a whole wardrobe full of robes and muggle clothes.

Sadly this summer he didn't go to the Burrow because he knew he wouldn't be able to use his magic without someone questioning it,so he made up a lie and said that Dumbledore told that he had to stay at the Dursleys until today and today was the day he was being picked up so he was packing up everything he was going to need.

An hour later he went into the living room and saw Arthur Weasley come out of it.

''Ah,Harry how has your summer been?'' Arthur asked cheerfully.

''Good,sir we should leave as soon as possible.'' Harry said trying to leave as soon as possible.

"Don't you want to say goodbye to your relatives?'' Arthur asked narrowing his eyes.

"I already did.'' Harry said lying through his teeth.

''Okay'' Arthur said accepting that with a bit of suspicion then turns around and says into the fireplace''The Burrow'' and vanishes with Harry following him.

Harry lands on his feet and walks over to Mrs. Weasley and gives her a hug.

She says ''Oh,Harry dear how have the relatives been treating you?''

Harry replies''They have been treating me okay.'' which was actually true because the moment Vernon had told Petunia and Dudley that Harry could use magic they had ignored him while staring at him fearfully.

''You have certainly grown haven't you,dear.'' which was another true statement because with the potions he took combined with the training he had gotten to the point where he looked like he was sixteen.

''Hey Mrs. Weasley,I need to go to Diagon Alley soon and talk to the goblins sometime soon.''

''That's fine, you can come with me and the rest of the children tomorrow when we go to get school supplies,do you need to get yours too?''

''No I have everthing I need.''

''Okay go upstairs and hangout with the kids until dinner.'' Mrs. Weasley commanded.

Harry went upstairs planning to go catch up with his best mates.
