Chapter 23
The Xanatos and Sirius talked for hours. Talking about how to improve things for Harry. By the time they finished talking it was lunch time, which Mr. Xanatos told Sirius that he could stay for.
During lunch Sirius told Harry that he would be staying with the Xanatos family for the summer and the next summer he would be staying with himself, Sirius. By the look on Harry's face, Sirius felt that he would need to talk to him about what had happened at the Dursleys.
But, there was one thing that nobody told Sirius about. That was that Owen Burnett was Puck. Nobody told Sirius about this because he didn't need to know. Also it was because Puck was fae, so the Ministry of Magic did not control him. The spells of witches and wizards would not work on him.
Sirius stayed for a couple more hours, and then he left. After he left Owen Burnett changed into Puck and gave Alex his magic lesson. Harry asked if he could talk to Mr. Xanatos so they both walked into Mr. Xanatos' office.
"Mr. Xanatos is it possible that I can go to Diagon Alley towards the end of the summer?" asked Harry, wanting to know what he had to do about getting his supplies for his next year at Hogwarts.
"Diagon Alley?" asked a surprised Mr. Xanatos
"That's a place in the wizarding world that I can buy my school supplies." explained Harry to Mr. Xanatos.
"Oh, well then, that wouldn't be a problem." said Mr. Xanatos, wondering why Harry seemed as nervous about a simple thing as getting his school supplies.
"Would it be alright if I took Alex with me?" asked Harry. He hoped that Mr. Xanatos would say yes because he wanted to show Alex Diagon Alley.
"Would there be a grown-up there?" asked Mr. Xanatos, wanting to keep his son and Harry safe.
"Yes." said Harry, remembering Mrs. Weasley was normally with them.
"Who?" asked Mr. Xanatos, wanting to know the person who would be looking after Alex and Harry.
"Mrs. Weasley." said Harry.
"I need to meet her first." said Mr. Xanatos, wanting to check to see if she wasn't a cereal murder. (Yamiyugi23: I'm a cereal murder; I have cereal for Breakfast some times!)
"Ok." said Harry, understanding Mr. Xanatos point of view about keeping Alex safe but he didn't realize it was also about keeping himself safe that Mr. Xanatos was on about as well.
"Harry, why don't you send them an invitation to visit us here?" asked Mr. Xanatos, he thought this was a good way to get to know the people who would be looking after Alex and Harry while they got their school supplies.
"Are you sure?" asked Harry, not wanting to put Mr. and Mrs. Xanatos out as they had done so much for him already.
"Yes." said Mr. Xanatos with a smile.
"When?" said Harry, wanting to know when it would be best for them to come.
"In two weeks." said Mr. Xanatos, rembebering that both himself and his wife had some time off then.
"Ok." said Harry and with that Harry left and wrote the letter to the Wesley's and asked them to visit. Meanwhile Mr. Xanatos talked about the visit with Mrs. Xanatos, who was very happy. After Alex's magic lesson was over, they all ate dinner and everyone relaxed. Around nine everyone went to bed and fell asleep.
The next morning
Hedwig flew though the open window that seemed to be kept open now just for her, and flew to Harry who was with the Xanatos's and Puck, eating dinner. When she got their, Hedwig dropped the letter into Harry's waiting hand and perched on the back of Harry's chair for a rest after delivering letters. Harry read the letter, after reading it he handed it to Mr. Xanatos whose confusion at what could cause a look that was on Harry's face to show, the look of relief. Reading the letter, he understood.
