I - 1. The Boy Who Lived

Hermione read " The Boy Who Lived "

" Oh we know who that is - "

" Yes but is it you ,Harry by any chance ? "

chorused the twins . " Harry Potter - The Boy who Lived. "

" Stop it " said Harry blushing.

But the twins began to sing ...Harry Potter...

" Stop at once ". Mrs Weasley snapped. Both stopped at once. " Please read dear. "

Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to saythat they were perfectly normal, thank you very much.( You are welcome )They were the last people you'd expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious,because they just didn't hold with such nonsense.

Mr. Dursley was the director of a firm called Grunnings, which made drills.He was a big, beefy man with hardly any neck, although he did have a verylarge mustache. Mrs. Dursley was thin and blonde and had nearly twice theusual amount of neck, which came in very useful as she spent so much of her time craning over garden fences, spying on the neighbors. The Dursleys had asmall son called Dudley and in their opinion there was no finer boy anywhere.

" What are drills ? " asked Arthur. " They are muggle machines used dig ground. " answered Hermione. " And how do they..." but he stopped after receiving a look from Molly.

" Wait Harry, Dudley means your cousin right !" Harry nodded.

" He and "

" small boy "

" We are having doubts on this book. " said the twins laughing. Ron was laughing too while the others were confused.

Hermione read about how they pretend about Mrs. Potter and the word UnDursleyish.

" There is no such word " Hermione breathed under her mouth.

The Dursleys knew that the Potters had a small son, too, but they had never ever seen him. This boy was another good reason for keeping the Potters away ; they didn't want Dudley mixing with a child like that.

" And What is wrong with that! " snarled Molly.

None of them noticed a large tawny owl flutter past the window. And then she read about Dudley's tantrum.

" This is not the way to raise a child. " muttered Molly.

Oh so this is how Harry became this arrogant. thought Snape.

It was on the corner of the street that he noticed the first sign of somethingpeculiar — a cat reading a map. For a second, Mr. Dursley didn't realize whathe had seen — then he jerked his head around to look again. There was atabby cat standing on the corner of Privet Drive, but there wasn't a map insight. What could he have been thinking of? It must have been a trick of thelight. Mr. Dursley blinked and stared at the cat. It stared back.

" Minnie is that you ? " asked Sirius amused.

" Yes and don't call me that. " said Minerva sternly. But then she realised, " That means it is November 1st meaning the day after ... James and Lily's death. " she completed sadly. Harry suddenly became sad he is gonna hear about them , no not again after the Dementors, no.

" But why are you there Professor? " asked Ginny . " Actually I thought it would be better if someone protects them in case of attack. And I personally was going to inform them about it because...James and Lily were very close to me. " And the fact that they were trying to make Harry call me Grandma she completed the sentence in mind. Everyone one were now silent even the twins. And Harry's eyes were becoming misty but he controlled himself.

"Well, Ted," said the weatherman, "I don't know about that, but it's notonly the owls that have been acting oddly today. Viewers as far apart as Kent,Yorkshire, and Dundee have been phoning in to tell me that instead of the rainI promised yesterday, they've had a downpour of shooting stars! Perhapspeople have been celebrating Bonfire Night early — it's not until next week,folks! But I can promise a wet night tonight."

"CONSTANT VILLIGENCE. How the hell are wizard behaving, they almost broke the statue of secrecy that day. " said Moody.

" Wait is Ted here Ted Tonks ? " asked Charlie.

" Yes Dad was doing the muggle news at the time . " answered Tonks

Then Hermione read about Dursley's day at work.

" Oh I didn't know that walrus has sorry in his vocabulary. " said Tonks. " What ! his description is like the same. " and with that Harry broke into laughter and soon the others followed even Lupin.

About Vernon's and Petunia's conversation

" He didn't even know his nephew's name ! " said Molly.

Yes that is a common name thought Snape.

A man appeared on the corner the cat had been watching, appeared sosuddenly and silently you'd have thought he'd just popped out of the ground.The cat's tail twitched and its eyes narrowed.

" Who is that Minnie? " asked Sirius. " Stop calling me that. !!" said Minerva.

" That would be me ! " answered Dumbledore.

He found what he was looking for in his inside pocket. It seemed to be asilver cigarette lighter. He flicked it open, held it up in the air, and clicked it.The nearest street lamp went out with a little pop. He clicked it again — thenext lamp flickered into darkness. Twelve times he clicked the Put-Outer,until the only lights left on the whole street were two tiny pinpricks in the distance, which were the eyes of the cat watching him. If anyone looked outof their window now, even beady-eyed Mrs. Dursley, they wouldn't be able tosee anything that was happening down on the pavement. Dumbledore slippedthe Put-Outer back inside his cloak and set off down the street toward numberfour, where he sat down on the wall next to the cat. He didn't look at it, butafter a moment he spoke to it.

"Fancy seeing you here, Professor McGonagall."

" Oh I want that light device. " said Ron

" It is a Deluminator , Mr. Weasley" said Dumbledore.

" Yes can be very useful in catching Dark wizards. " said Moody eyeing on Albus.

" How did you know that it is her Professor? " asked Tonks.

" Because no other cat can sit on the wall so sternly. "

She threw a sharp, sideways glance at Dumbledore here, as though hopinghe was going to tell her something, but he didn't, so she went on. "A finething it would be if, on the very day You-Know-Who seems to have

disappeared at last, the Muggles found out about us all. I suppose he reallyhas gone, Dumbledore?""It certainly seems so," said Dumbledore. "We have much to be thankful

for. Would you care for a lemon drop?"

"A what?"

"A lemon drop. They're a kind of Muggle sweet I'm rather fond of."

" Oh yeah they are one of my favorites! " added Dumbledore.

"No, thank you," said Professor McGonagall coldly, as though she didn't think this was the moment for lemon drops. "As I say, even if You-KnowWho has gone —"

"My dear Professor, surely a sensible person like yourself can call him byhis name? All this 'You-Know-Who' nonsense — for eleven years I havebeen trying to persuade people to call him by his proper name: Voldemort."

Professor McGonagall flinched, but Dumbledore, who was unsticking two lemon drops, seemed not to notice. "It all gets so confusing if we keep saying'You-Know-Who.' I have never seen any reason to be frightened of sayingVoldemort's name.""I know you haven't," said Professor McGonagall, sounding halfexasperated, half admiring. "But you're different. Everyone knows you're theonly one You-Know- oh, all right, Voldemort, was frightened of.""You flatter me," said Dumbledore calmly. "Voldemort had powers I willnever have."

" Only because you are too noble to use them" said Molly. She blushed when the transfiguration professor said the same.

"Only because you're too — well — noble to use them."

"It's lucky it's dark. I haven't blushed so much since Madam Pomfrey toldme she liked my new earmuffs."

Everyone broke out into laughter and Dumbledore to everyone's surprise blushed again.

"What they're saying," she pressed on, "is that last night Voldemort turnedup in Godric's Hollow. He went to find the Potters. The rumor is that Lily andJames Potter are — are — that they're — dead."

That was it the room felt silent. Sirius went went pale , because it was the day when followed Pettigrew instead of keeping Harry, just if he had insisted more .

Tears now finally came out from Harry's eyes. Lupin comforted him by putting arm on his shoulder.

Harry raised his head everyone were silent even , Snape . Molly and Hermione were on the verge of tears , Sirius was pale .

" Please .. Continue Hermione. " he said.

And then she continued about their conversation.I've come to bring Harry to his aunt and uncle. They're the only family he

has left now.""You don't mean — you can't mean the people who live here?" cried

Professor McGonagall, jumping to her feet and pointing at number four.

"Dumbledore — you can't. I've been watching them all day. You couldn'tfind two people who are less like us. And they've got this son — I saw himkicking his mother all the way up the street, screaming for sweets. HarryPotter come and live here!"

Sirius flinched only if he had tried or controlled himself then Harry must have been living with him.

"It's the best place for him," said Dumbledore firmly. "His aunt and unclewill be able to explain everything to him when he's older. I've written them aletter."

" Seriously a letter ? " and to Harry's surprise it was Remus who said that. Remus usually never goes against Dumbledore's decisions but this time.

"A letter?" repeated Professor McGonagall faintly, sitting back down on the wall. "Really, Dumbledore, you think you can explain all this in a letter?These people will never understand him! He'll be famous — alegend — Iwouldn't be surprised if today was known as Harry Potter Day in the future — there will be books written about Harry — every child in our world willknow his name!"

" I hope there isn't a Harry Potter Day ! " asked Harry. " No! it was going to be but the paper work gone lost somewhere. ! " replied Kingsley, which even made the others realised that he was there too.

Still no use thought Snape.

" The actual reasons were blood wards but at that time I didn't want to reveal that information. " said Dumbledore.

Hermione read about Hagrid's arrival , Their conversation and Sirius's Bike.

" Oh yeah I remember , lending him the bike he even came back to return it. " said Sirius.

Harry flinched on the mention of his scar. And remembered that he used to like that before knowing it's truth.

" We didn't need to know that " said Bill on mention of Dumbledore's Scar if the London Underground.

" Aww!" many ladies said when Baby Harry was mentioned and Harry turned red.

" Oh Hagrid! " said Molly when he bid farewell with Harry. And love for Hagrid increased in Harry's heart.

Hermione continued.

" You left him on the Door step in November Night . " exclaimed Remus.

" What were you thinking? " asked Molly furiously.

" I had Warming and Protection charms on him . " said Albus in his defence.

"Good luck, Harry," he murmured. He turned on his heel and with a swishof his cloak, he was gone. And continued till the end of Chapter.

Sirius was now blaming himself. It was his fault that Harry has to with those Muggles.

Lupin was hoping if there was not his Lycanthropy problem then he must have became Harry's Uncle.

Harry was now feeling just sad about the death of his parents. It was like reliving the memories. He can hear the cruel laughter in his mind very clearly and can see the green light.

But no one can feel the pain developing in Harry's heart , Yes they can sympathize but not feel it.

The mood of order was at its all time low. After minutes of silence , Molly noticed that every one were tired and if not the time was freezed then they must have been asleep by now. So she announced.

" Let's break and get some sleep and we will continue after breakfast tomorrow. "

" There is no tomorrow - "

" Our dear mother -"

" The time is freezed." completed the twins.

" But it does not mean that you will not get hungry or tired so off for the bed. Now. " ordered Molly. But before that they raised a toast" To the Boy who lived " to lighten the mood.

The next day the breakfast went silent , the most silent the Weasleys have ever seen. After breakfast now everyone gathered in the library. " So what is the next Chapter ? " asked Mcgonagall.

" Chapter 2. The Vanishing Glass. " answered Ginny.
