No. 8
Summary:
Harry spent summer holidays to Dursleys. Well, it was a bad one. On his 13th birthday, he received three gifts from Hermione (Broomservicing Kit), Ron (Pocket Sneakoscope) and Hagrid (Monster Book of Monsters).
The following day became the worst day of Harry, his Aunt Marge will have a week visit in Dursleys, lead him to leaving because Aunt Marge insults his parents.
Along the way, he was carried by a Knight Bus to Diagon Alley and was welcomed by Cornelius Fudge. The stay at the Leaky Cauldron, making him free of Dursleys and easiest way to get his things done and most of all, seeing the Weasleys and Hermione.
The next day, they went to King Cross Station via Ministry of Magic cars and then to Hogwarts Express. Their travel was almost postponed by the Dementor but it turned out well.
His first day introduced the lessons of reading tea leaves in Divination by Professor Trelawney and Talons by game keeping duties by Hagrid.
The next day, Potions by Professor Snape (Shrinking Potion) and Boggarts in Defense Against Dark Arts by Professor Lupin. Quidditch training sessions three evenings in a week.
Halloween came, Harry wasn’t allowed to go to Hogsmeade with other fellows but enjoyed talking with Professor Lupin and taking the feast.
The Fat Lady gone off from her painting, Dumbledore’s thinking it might be Black’s fault. Son every training session of Quidditch, Harry was guarded by Madam Hooch. Gryffindor versus Hufflepuff battle was a tough one, Harry was distracted by Dementors, so Hufflepuff wins, when Cedric Diggory catch the snitch.
Christmas came, and Harry went to Hogsmeade secretly by Marauder’s Map and accidentally heard the betrayal of Black to his parents.
On Christmas day, Harry received a marvelous “Firebolt” but only for short hours because McGonagall had to test it, it might be from Black. Gryffindors were getting ready for their battle with the Ravenclaw, as well as Harry, knowing how to defeat Dementors. McGonagall, finally get Harry his Firebolt back. All their practices were worthful since Gryffindor won over Ravenclaw.
After their triumphancy, exams flooded the next days. After their racking exams, Hippogriff was beheaded by Committee of Disposal of Dangerous Creatures.
The dog that had attacked Harry, Hermione and Ron was Sirius Black and the Scabbers they thought was Peter Pettigrew.
Peter Pettigrew was the real killer of Harry’s parents, instead of killing him, Harry decided to take him to Azkaban. But Peter had gone fast. There was another problem, Sirius is accused and will be getting the Dementor’s Kiss, in order for that event to not happen, Hermione and Harry used the Time Turner in order to save Buckbeak from death and used it to save Sirius Black from Dementor’s Kiss.
The results of exams went well but Lupin is leaving from the thought that he was a werewolf. Sirius wrote to harry and revealed that he was the one who send his Firebolt and signed his Hogsmeade permission form.
The next day, he got to Hogwarts Express and meet again the Dursleys with a wider grin on his smile.
