The New Prophecy

Chapter 12: Ollivander's

Lily POV:

I watched in horror, as my own son, eleven years after his birth, had just now discovered that he was a wizard and came from a magical family. Of course Petunia would do anything to stop him- but to not tell him anything about us? Anything at all?

"I-I'm a what?

"A wizard. And a thumping good one at that, I'd wager. Once you train up a little." Hagrid responded.

"No, you've made a mistake. I can't be...a-a wizard. I mean, I'm just... Harry. Just Harry." The young boy said innocently, which brought tears in my eyes as I glanced over at James who was watching in astonishment.

"Well, just Harry. Did you ever make anything happen? Anything you couldn't explain when you were angry or scared?" Hagrid asked him.

 "Ah." Hagrid let out as Harry softened his expression.

"I think it's time you read your letter," Hagrid said, pulling out the familiar letter and handing it to Harry.

"Dear, Mr. Potter. We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts' School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?!" 

"He'll not be going!" Vernon piped up, which made James and Sirius scowl. 

"We swore when we took him in, we'd put a stop to this rubbish!" Vernon yelled, which made James almost yell something, but young Harry cut him off.

"You knew?! You knew all along and you never told me?!" Harry exclaimed at his aunt.

"Of course we knew. How could you not be?" Petunia started, making me feel multiple emotions all at once.

"My perfect sister being who she was. Oh, my mother and father were so proud the day she got her letter!" Petunia snapped.

At this James glanced at me and moved closer to grab my hand. 

"We have a witch in the family. Isn't it wonderful? I was the only one to see her for what she was," Petunia continued.

I knew what was coming before she even said it, and I closed my eyes and felt my hand being squeezed as she said it.

"A freak!" Petunia shrieked.

"And then she met that Potter, and then she had you, and I knew you'd be just the same, just as strange, just as ... abnormal. And then, if you please, she went and got herself blown up. And we got landed with you." Petunia finished.

I had learned to deal with this, so I was fine for now as I opened my eyes again, but lots of people were frowning as they watched the memory and James and Sirius were both furious together once again.

"Blown up? You told me my parents died in a car crash!" Harry yelled at Petunia before anyone could say anything.

"A car crash? A car crash kill James and Lily Potter?!" Hagrid roared.

The argument was moving fast from person to person, leaving no room for any comments from anyone watching whatsoever.

"We had to tell him something!" Petunia exclaimed.

"It's an outrage! It's a scandal!" Hagrid yelled furiously.

As the Dursleys argued with Hagrid, no one, including Harry, noticed Dudley taking Harry's cake away.

"He'll not be going!" Vernon said angrily.

"Oh, and I suppose a great Muggle like yourself's going to stop him, are you?!" Hagrid snapped, making Sirius hum in agreement. 

"Muggle?" 

"Non-Magic folk," Hagrid said calmly to Harry.

 Then he immediately drew his attention back to Vernon and Petunia in anger.

"This boy's had his name down ever since he was born! He's going to the finest school of witchcraft and wizardry in the world, and he'll be under the finest headmaster that Hogwarts has ever seen: Albus Dumbledore," Hagrid said furiously.

At this Harry let out a small smile, only to be cut short by Vernon's yelling.  

"I will not pay for some crackpot old fool to teach him magic tricks!" Vernon yelled at Hagrid.

At this, Hagrid whips out his umbrella and pointed it at Vernon, threateningly, with the marauders and the twins cheering him on as Dumbledore chuckled at the sight.

"Never, insult Albus Dumbledore, in front of me." Hagrid said dangerously slowly, making Vernon more fearful than I had ever seen him.

Hagrid then saw Dudley eating Harry's cake, and aimed his umbrella at his rear, firing a spark at it, causing a grey tail to grow. 

At the new small pink pig tail, several laughs were heard from everyone watching including James, Sirius, and the twins.

"You show him!" Fred and Sirius practically bellowed at the same time.

"Ahh!" Dudley shrieked.

Petunia and Vernon then both shrieked in both fright and horror, as they ran off out of sight with Dudley.

"Oh, um, I'd appreciate if you didn't tell anyone at Hogwarts about that. Strictly speaking, I'm not allowed to do magic," Hagrid told Harry nervously.

"Okay." Harry nodded as Hagrid check his watch.

"Ooh, we're a bit behind schedule. Best be off," Hagrid said as he pulled the door down again, before stepping out. 

Most of us were now all on edge waiting for the memory to go on.

"Unless you'd rather stay, of course. Hmm?" Hagrid said, turning back to a stunned Harry.

There the memory changed, as I quickly recognized the setting of the new place.

Ollivander's Wand Shop.

"Could it be the one? Curious indeed," Mr. Ollivander muttered, bustling around searching for wands as Harry looked a tad shaken up next to a few shards of a broken lamp.

He soon acquired the thin box he was looking for and turned back to Harry, opening the box to reveal a familiar wand.

Harry carefully took the wand, raised it above his head, brought it swishing down through the dusty air and a stream of red and gold sparks shot from the end like a firework, throwing dancing spots of light on to the walls. 

Hagrid whooped and clapped and Mr. Ollivander cried, 

"Oh, bravo! Yes, indeed, oh, very good. Well, well, well... how curious... how very curious..."

"Sorry, but what's curious?" Harry suddenly asked in confusion.

"I remember every wand I've ever sold, Mr. Potter. It so happens that the phoenix whose tail feather resides in your wand gave another feather... just one other."

I wonder whose.

"NO WAY." Sirius suddenly exclaimed dramatically coming to a conclusion out loud.

"It is curious that you should be destined for this wand when its brother gave you that scar,"
