The Lost Books of Potter

Chapter 3 - Letters from no one

Lola and company, return a bit later with a lot of black eyes, a shocked Minnie and a smirking Lola.

''OK then who wants to read'' asked Ariana

''I'll read next'' Emitted Leta much to Lola's surprise.

The escape of the Brazilian boa constrictor earned Harry his longest-ever punishment. By the time he was allowed out of his cupboard again, the summer holidays had started

''Boy when your birthday'' demands Mrs Weasley

''uh 23 J-June stutters a very'' scared Dudley

''And when do the summer holidays start in the muggle world?''

''about mid-July Mrs Weasley'' educated Hermione, if looks could kill Mrs Weasley would be committed to Azkaban for the murder of muggles.

and Dudley had already broken his new video camera, crashed his remote control aeroplane, and, first time out on his racing bike, knocked down old Mrs Figg as she crossed Privet Drive on her crutches. Harry was glad school was over, but there was no escaping Dudley's gang, who visited the house every single day.

''Shouting fit round two is about to commence'' whispered Harry a bit too loudly

Piers, Dennis, Malcolm, and Gordon were all big and stupid, but as Dudley was the biggest and stupidest of the lot, he was the leader. *insert Sirius giggle* The rest of them were all quite happy to join in Dudley's favourite sport:

Harry could see Lola cracking her knuckles under the table and ginny hand hovering over her wand. Remus was trying to keep moony in check

Harry Hunting.

3...2...1. Many wands were now pointing at the Dursleys.

''Wands away please students'' addresses, Albus. ''You two miss Scamander.''

Lola turned around so she is now facing the teacher's table. ''Of course dumbles.'' she slides her wand back into her holster, ''but I don't need it. I find the muggle way more effective.'' and with that, Dudley now had another black eye. (she also gave Vernon one because she felt like it. )

This was why Harry spent as much time as possible out of the house, wandering around and thinking about the end of the holidays, where he could see a tiny ray of hope.

When September came he would be going off to secondary school and, for the first time in his life, he wouldn't be with Dudley. Dudley had been accepted at Uncle Vernon's old private school, Smeltings. Piers Polkiss was going there too. Harry, on the other hand, was going to

''Hogwarts'' shouted James but then sat down quickly to avoid a slap from lily.

Stonewall High, the local public school. Dudley thought this was very funny.

"They stuff people's heads down the toilet the first day at Stonewall," he told Harry. "Want to come upstairs and practice?"

"No, thanks," said Harry. "The poor toilet's never had anything as horrible as your head down it — it might be sick."

Then he ran before Dudley could work out what he'd said.

The look of realisation on Dudley's face made even Snape snigger

One day in July, Aunt Petunia took Dudley to London to buy his Smeltings uniform, leaving Harry at Mrs Figg's. Mrs Figg wasn't as bad asusual. It turned out she'd broken her leg tripping over one of her cats and she didn't seem quite as fond of them as before. She let Harry watch television and gave him a bit of chocolate cake that tasted as though she'd had it for several years.
