Harry Potter and the Mysterious Messages



Harry was up doing his homework late in the night. He was doing his last essay on "locating". (locating witches and wizards who send you messages but don't sign there name and such) It was so boring. It was for charms. He looked at his clock.  it read 11:59. one more minute he'd be fifteen! He got up, and looked out the window.He saw some owls flying towards him. Hedwig (his snowy-white owl) Rons owl, pigwidgeon, 2 old barn owls that must be from hermione and hagrid, one that must be from school, one from his god father, sirius, and one more! hmm, who could that be from? They flew into his window.
after reading each of them, opening his presents (each contained a cake also) and setting up his cards on his desk, he looekd at his last card which he had left aside.
He opened it slowly.
Dear Harry James Potter,
this year at hogwarts will be event full, very eventfull indeed. I just hope it won't be too dangerous for you.
Sincerely,
asrgsrtjszhsjksxjkskdggxskdykdxgkksxskk
Harry stared at the letter.
"why isnt there a name?" he whispered. Then he heard a grunt from beside his small bedroom. he heard foot steps. he heard two ppl tlaking
"What is it, dear?" that was aunt petunia.
"I thought i heard a noise....like wings and clicking." Vernon grunted. Harry looked at the owls and quickly tried to shoo them away.
"thanks guys, go back now! you're gonna get me into trouble!" Hedwig clucked again, and sored out followed by the other owls. Harry jumped into bed, blew out his candle, stuffed his homework under the bed, and closed his eyes tightly.
He ehard the door creeeeak open.
"u mangy beast, are you awake?" harry didn't answer to vernons mock. uncle vernon walked into the room. he was so beefy, he could almost fill the room itself! harry opened his eyes a peek.
"darn kid....." he heard uncle vernon mutter. harry saw him eyeing the mysterious letter. he picked it up!
vernons eyes strated scanning the letter. then he growled.
"get up, boy! your in a heap of trouble!" he thundered.

 ;DWelcome! Welcome welcome! I love the story! Please keep going! ^___^ ;D

[Hermione_Granger]

ok thanks guys! and thanks for the elephant :-), ok im continuing..........

harry followed his uncle down the stairs. harry knew the only reason he wasn't being kicked down the stairs we b-cuz of his god father, sirius. he sat at the kitchen table.
"WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT DOING YOUR HOMEOWRK WHEN WE ARE GOING TO SLEEP?!?!" he bellowedd. "oh," thought harry,m "so the old bloke knew...."
"AND WHAT THE HECK IS WITH THIS LETER? WHAT HAVE I TOLDS YOU ABOUT THE SCREECHING OF THAT d**nED OWL? AND I HEARD MORE OWLS, TOO!!"
"they just brought mail to me, and i had to do my homework!" harry shot back.
"DO-IT-IN-THE-MORNING-WHEN-WE-ARE-AWAKE! YOU UNGREATFUL BLISTER!!" uncle vernon roared.
harry coughed the name "sirius" uncle bernon went pruple to white. his adams apple bobbed in his trhoat, and he gulpled heavily.
"Now, er - harry, there is no need fore doing homework at night...and er- stop it, before we kick u outta the house!" he shooed harry back to bed. harry crawled under the covers and went to sleep.
a week passed. harry had written back to all his friends, thanking them. he was up in his room, staring at the mysterious letter. it was obviously a wizard. they must be left handed, also, harry could tell from the smudges.
he went down stairs to breakfast. just as he came down, dudley wobbled down the stairs, still chuckling about harry gettning in trouble a week ago. (dudley had been at the top of the stairs, listening, he never missed out on harry getting into toruble).
ring, ring. the telephone rang, and they all stopped and stared at it. uant petunia grabbed the phone.
"hello?" she asked eargerly, expecting some gossip.
"wha- who r u? har- why the hell do u wanna talk to him' petunia snarled into the phone's receiver. He tossed the phone into harry's stomach, and he picked it up.
"hello?" harry asked, walking into the living room.
the person on the reciever mumbled back.
"um- pardon?" hary said louder. he just made out the next words
"it's me, ron. i'm not yelling this time, i don't want to get you into trouble."
Harry laughed
"ron, you can talk louder, just dont yell!"
"oh - well, di u get hermione's letter?" he asked. hermione granger and ron weasley were his very best friends.
"um, well if u mean my birthday card and present, ya i did."
"no, shes inviting us over! i got mine just now, and i htought i'd call you."
"nooo, i din't.....wait! hold on!" just then, hary saw his snowy owl flying back to him. he had to letter in her claws. he flew threw the window. aunt petunia shreaiked
"the rudddy owl!! NOT AGAIN!" uncle petunia thundered. Harry pointed upwards to his owl, and she flew upwards. hary thundered up the stairs, yelling behind him
"i'll be back down later!" he thought he heard vernon course in rage, but he was already in his room.
"i got it, ya." harry said breathlessyly.
"ok, write back if you're going, and if you arn't aloud, write back anwyas, and we'll pick up, unless you feel safe about travelling by floo powder yourself" ron teased, knowing that harry hated it. they hung up, and harry picked up hermione's letter and read it.

Dear harry,
how are you? i figured since you don't enjoy your uncles and aunts and cousins company, you would like to come over to place for once. i wrote to ron, also. you have already been to rons before, we both have, so how bout just ocming to my place for the remainding of the summer? my parents say its ok, tho gthey r scared of wizards and such! i otld them all about you and ron, and they like you both. please reply a.s.a.p.
love from,
hermione
ps- did you get our presents and cards? has sirius wrote to you? Harry figured he would write back after he's ask his uncle and aunt, and picked up his other letter. no address. this seemd fimiliar. he opened it eagerly. it was another letter from the mystery guy!
Dear Harry James Potter,
you havn;'t wrote back. i'm waiting. your owl knows who i am, too bad you can't talk to her like i can. some things have tought me how to talk to owls, and i already know how to talk to cats.i had a pelasant chat with crookshanks, and he told me your address. have a fun time at school.
sincerly,
tjlhathkhjajdghju;tlhjotrlahjuoyr;uj;orujytrl;ujs
harry relized something else.

[.:~*Shuiliya*~:.]

This is a great story, and a terrific idea, but could you hold up on the typos?  :-\

[Hermione_Granger]

im sory about the typo's, im just soo excited that you ppl like my story!!!! :-) ok im continuing......

a slip of parchment had fallen out of the envelope. harry picked it up, and saw something faintly glowing on it. harry looked closer. it lookd like a letter, but which, he wsn't sure. o well, thought harry. he decided to examine it later on, when he was relaly bored.
he came thundering down the stairs.
"uncle vernon......aunt petunia...." he called.
he put the phone back down on the charger, and went into the living room.
"what" his uncle gurnted.
"my friedn, hermione, invited me over. for the rest of the summer. can i go?"
his uncle thought, his moustache quivering.
"whos this kid, now?" he grunted.
"uh....i'm sure you've seen her...she has, uh....brown hair, kind of frizzy, alittle, and thick, and uh, short..."
harry said.
"oh, that kid, with the big teeth? snooty?"
harry scowled. he thought it was rather rude to say that, considering he was beefy and his son was on a diet which didn't even sem to be working.
harry din't answer.
"she's picking u up, then?" his uncle finnaly snarled.
"i have her number in my room, let me clal her." harry said, and, without waiting for an answer, got her number and dialed it.
"hello" the other said asked
"hi....hermione""
"ya..harry?!" she squealed.
"ya. um, could you pick me up?"
"yep! of course. ron is arriving tomorrow at 1:00." hermione said promptly.
"great! i think ill be aloud. what itme would u pick me up at then?"
"hmm......well, how about, lets say - ten or eleven pm? cuz my house is kind of far, and since my parents are muggles, all we can really do is drive."
"that fine. i'll tell me uncle." harry put his hand over the speaker part, and yelled
"how about, tomoorw, she picks me up at ten thirty-ish?"
his uncle gurnted.
"fine. she better pick you up. AND SHE BETTER NOT COME THROUGH THE FIRE PLACE, EITHER!" his uncle raored, obviously still remembering when ron and come to pick up harry by floo powder. harry stifled his laughter.
"ya, all right, awesome, hermione! i'll get everything packed."
he ran up stairs, and packed up everything. he ate most of the cake, becuz he didn't want it to be stale. he munced happily.
it was night time, and harry woke up. it was 3;00am.
he saw something glowing brightly on his table. he got up, and picked it up.
the parchment! it was glowing the letter ------------------
s
harry forwned. he thought maybe it would be a clue, but all it was was a letter.
thje next morning, harry packed up all his letters also, went downstairs to wait for hermione. it was ten. - ten:15.....it was going on ten thirty. ten thirty on the dot she arrived, in a very nice, mazda (blue) car. she got out and rang the doorbell. he opened it, and positivly gasped. hermione DID NOT look like hermione!'
her hair was so straight and shiney, her skin looked oddly creamy, and she was wearing a blue sleevless top, small-ly overlapping a pink skirt, which was loose and was just abover her knees. she looked very pretty.
harry let her in, trying not to drool.
"uhh, i'm going now." harry yelled.uncle vernon, aunt petunia and dudley came wobbling in the hall. vernon looked taken aback, petunia looked aprooving in a scared sort of way, and duley gasped. he ranto the back garden.
"hahaha....." harry laughed nervously.
"my uncle vernom, aunt petunia, and er, the one who ran is dudley." harry said, just leaving.
then dudley ran back to her, and gave her some very beautiful----------

[Hermione_Granger]

flowers!!!
"he fancies her" thought harry. harry told this to her in car, and she luaghed, going red.
then, at 12:56 they arrived atthe grangers house hold. mr and mrs granger seemed odly shy and nervous. just minutes passed, and then they heard a clunk  from the fire place. out popped ron, and then mr weasley.
ron stared at hermione, not seeing harry.
"uh - sorry - we must have got the wrong house...do u know where the grangers live?" ron asked, going red, thinkning that this enw pretty hermione was soemone else.
he lent towards his dad and said "i dont feel that right about tlaking to muggles... ready to modify their memories?" harry started laughing.
"oh! hary!" ron lept back into his dad. " u got the wrong house too, huh?" harry burst out laughing, and hermione went red.
"uh...im hermione, ron....."
"oh!" he went a deep red. hermione took them into the ,living room, where they would be sleeping.
"we pulled in another couch, so we could each sleep on one." she said.
"we were going to slep outside, but the swamp attratced too many bugs. and i din't want u guys, nor me, to get stung or anything." she said with a small smile. ron was gasping at the t.v.
"this is some wireless u got here, hermione!" he said.
both harry and hermione laughed. mr and rms granger were tlaking to mr weasley.
"its actually a television, ron." she pointed out, turning it on, then off, just to show him a picture of it. ron turned red again. he stayed away from the odd objects after that.
"would u like to stay for dinner, your wife may too, of course." mr granger was saying.
"um, actually, we have boys at home who need to be accompinied by an adult." mr wealsey flushed.
then apparated. mr and mrs granger gasped, and hermione promised to tell them about it later.
"wanna see the swamp?" hermione offered.
"ya, sure." ron and hary answered. she lead them to the back door, where crookshakns the cat purred against it.
"back crokshanks, back youve been a naughuty boy!" hermione hissed.
"was did he do?" harry aksed.
"we;;, last night, we heard her going crazy outside. neighbors heard, and we and the neighbors say him attack someone. i dunno who, htough, they just ran away after that." hermione shrugged.
"the neighbors threatned they'd report the noise to the police, so i keep him in most of the time now. we r gonna build a fence tho, soon." she lead them out side, and ron was rather quiet. he seemed to be thinking, hard.
after they took a tour of the swamp, ron blurted out what he was thinknig.
"remember how crookcshanks kept on attacking wormtail in our third year?"
"yes..." harry said.
hermione just nodded.
"well, he always seems to freak our on, well, bad ppl...what if, that person your cat attacked, was, well, wormtail? hary and hermione knew whaT HE was talking about, and both did some thinknig of their own.
"yes, i think your right, but then how would he know where i live and where i am?" hermione asked, horrified.
"harry, did u see a rat or sumthing, reading your letter?" ron asked seriously.
"no, but it could've when im asleep." harry said, thinkning it peobably would have done that too.
they all stared in silence. wormtail was on hary's track....
"u know what we have to do, don't you? we have to write to sirius, and dumbldore. tell them." hermione said, running in her house to get soem parchment and a quill.
"but, hermione, hedwigs is gone on , delivering a letter!" harry pointed out.
"ya, and pig is....wait! i have pig!" ron thumped him self on the head.
they were bent over the parchment, hary gripping the quill hard, and writing frantically.

Dear Sirius,
crookshanks, hermione's cat (you remeber him, don't you?) attacked someone, and we think it was wormtail. since voldemort is rising again, we think he is tyring to kid napp me, possibly. don't be too worried though, i'm fine. and someone is writing my anonumous letters. any idea who that is? i think they are left handed, and there was another parchemtn that said the letter "s" on it.
-harry

"wait... what mysterious letters, harry?" hermione aksed, her eyes round and shining. ron looekd concerned.
hary lowered his voice.
"i'll tell you guys tonight, lets finish the letter to dumbledore."
Dear Prof. Dumbledore,
sorry to bother you, but ron, hermione and i think wormtail is in hermione's neighborhood. crookshanks (hermione's cat) kept attackuing him two years ago, and just yesterday he attacked someone else. maybe was the mysterious person, him?
-harry

they tied the letters to pig, and threw him outdoors.
"so, why u all dressed up, hermione?" ron asked slyly.
"oh, um......u remember how viktor asked me over to his house for the holidays? well......the thrid day of the holidays, i left for his house. we had a wonderful time. then, just two days ago, i cam back here. he really is a great guy, ya know." hermione added.
I've been keeping touch with him. oh, hary, isn't that hedwig?" hermione added.
they looked out the window, hedwig came soaring, holding two letters in her beak. she came in through the window, and dropped htem down. harry picked up one.
and opened it, and let hary ron and hermione open it.
Dear harry,
this is fleur. i write to u b-cuz i would like to thank and congratulate you again. i feel bad very much about cedric. i like him much also. i am also writing to your tall firend, with the cute orange hair. in the meantime, please tell himi say hi. and your grumpy firend, that hermione, tell her i say hi too.
love,
fleur

harry and ron laughed, (ron was red also) and hermione clicked her tongue agrily. they opened the next letter. it was from the mystery writer. the three of them gasped.
