Harry Potter and Slytherin's Diary

Chapter 1 Good news and a free meal

Harry Potter was no longer the skinny short boy because, He had been working out a lot. He was now a handsome young man with large muscles and sun tan, it did help though that he had grown height too. It was about a week after the summer vacation, after Harry 's fourth year at Hogwarts, had started. Harry was doing some exercises before dinner, when he heard uncle Vernon running into the house on Privet Drive yelling, "Petunia my love, I have great news!!" Uncle Vernon was obviously in a very good mood because, when he stopped running and aunt Petunia came from the kitchen, she was about to start on dinner, He swept her up in a hug.

"We're expanding to another village. We have to move to it though."

"That's great Vernon, where to?"

"To a little place called 'Ottery St. Catchpole'."

Harry was stunned and kept the heavy weights up, when he heard the name of the village where his best friend lives.

"It has great accessibility," Uncle Vernon continued.

"So forget about cooking, we're going out to dinner."

This of course delighted aunt Petunia because, they hadn't been going out to a restaurant since their last anniversary and that was already a couple of months ago. Then it hit her, Harry.

"Vernon," she said, hoping it would not him angry, "Misses Figg won't be able to take Harry because, of her broken leg."

"I know," He said remarkably easy. He then yelled, "Harry get down here."

This of course shook Harry out his happy thoughts of living so near the Weasleys. He then finally noticed the he was still holding the weights up and felt the strain on not only his arms but also on his entire chest.

He put them down and dried himself of as he thought, 'That's a good exercise.'

Harry pulled on a shirt, on of Dudley's but now it fits Harry better then him, and went down.

He stopped when was halfway down, uncle Vernon was waiting for him near the stairs holding something that looked like a tuxedo.

Uncle Vernon seeing the dumbstruck and questioning expression Harry's face, let out something that sounded like he was giggling, he controlled himself and motioned Harry to come down.

Seeing this almost kind gesture, Harry automatically walked down the stairs without realizing it.

Harry thought that uncle Vernon was very happy because this had never happened before.

Vernon gave Harry the tuxedo and asked, "Harry will you go take shower and put the tux on because, you're coming along." [A/N yes ASKED]

This resulted in Vernon seeing not one but three dumbstruck faces as Dudley had also come down, to see what was happening but more importantly to get something to eat.

Vernon couldn't control himself anymore and burst into laughter again, he did manage to say, "Dudley and Petunia you should also get up and get ready for because we're going to five star restaurant."

They all went up and got ready for dinner except Vernon who was already ready.

They got to the restaurant without any complaints from Dudley that Harry was using too much space.

They had a great meal consisting of:

Delicious Chinese chicken soup, uncle Vernon almost said that it tasted magically but stopped because he hated magic and said instead that it tasted great, they all agreed.

With a bottle of red wine from the year 1960, which according to Vernon was great year for wine.

For the second course they had chicken with Hawaiian sauce over it, fried bananas and rice.

Desert consisted of a plate of ice cream with eight different flavors, hot chocolate sauce, crushed nut and whipped cream.

They finished with an after dinner coffee and a biscuit.

When uncle Vernon asked for the check, Harry saw the waiter glancing over to his own forehead.

The waiter answered, "It is on the house."

This time it was uncle Vernon's turn to look utterly dumbstruck.

He quickly pulled himself together but before he could ask why, the waiter had already rounded the table and said, "It's an honor to meet you Mr. Potter. This restaurant offers this meal to you. I would also like to ask if you would allow us to take a picture of you with the entire staff and sign it?"

Harry seeing the dumbstruck looks on not only the Dursleys' but on a lot of other faces as well quickly said, "Sure, I'm happy to oblige. Where do you want to take it?"

At hearing this the waiter smiled broadly and said, "In front of the restaurant if you don't mind."

"Sure."

The waiter then took off towards the kitchen. Soon he returned with indeed the entire staff off the restaurant. Harry and the staff went outside followed by a few curious Muggles, a wizards and witches.

The picture was taken by on of the wizards that followed them.

Harry signed it with

From Harry Potter

To the staff of restaurant 'The Golden Calf'

Thanks for the best meal ever.

When Harry and Dursleys got home, the Dursleys were still dumbstruck.

Uncle Vernon was wondering if he should be mad at Harry or ask why he was so famous. And did he saw the picture move?

Aunt Petunia was also wondering if she should be mad at Harry or ask why he was so famous but also how she should act to the "apparently" very famous boy.

Dudley just wondered if could eat there for free now.

Harry noticed the next morning at breakfast that they were a bit nicer then before.

First thing Harry did after breakfast was, writing a letter to the Ron, it said.

Hi Ron,

I have some great news.

My uncle is opening a new business near you in Ottery St. Catchpole.

You're probably thinking, 'Why on earth is that great news?'

We're moving to that village to.

Which means I can visit you every day.

I don't where in town yet though but I'll keep you posted.

Because of this we went out for dinner, to 'The Golden Calf'

They recognized me and gave use the meal for free and the staff off the restaurant and I went on a picture.

You should've seen the look the Dursleys gave me.

They were completely dumbstruck.

Say hi to everyone.

I hope to see you there.

Harry

Harry then wrote a similar one to Hermione.

The next day Harry got a reply from Ron, it was brought by Pig who was zooming happily around his room.

Hey Harry,

That is great news.

I hope you move here soon.

Mum says you should write to Dumbledore.

I agree and think you should write to Snuffles too.

Did you write to Hermione? She would be pissed if you didn't.

The Weasleys send you their love.

Gred and Forge say 'thanks' but for what?

What did you do for them?

And Ginny sends you this as well -XXX-, UGH.

See you in a couple of weeks.

Ron

Harry agreed and wrote a letter to Dumbledore and his godfather. After finishing he put one his desk so that Hedwig could deliver it, when she got back. He tied the letter to Dumbledore on Pig's paw.

Pig immediately took of trying to fly away but crashed into the closed window.

Harry opened it and Pig took of again.

Hedwig brought Hermione's reply a day after Ron's, it said.

Hey Harry,

I'm glad to hear you're moving to the village.

It means you can visit Ron during the vacation and study together.

Have you told Dumbledore and Snuffles yet?

It's very important for them to know.

Did you write to Ron? He would be pissed if you didn't.

Dumbledore needs to know because he needs to put up a new ward.

Also you should write to Snuffles so he can find you.

Love,

Hermione

Harry could help but laugh seeing the similarity between the letters of his best friends.

He thought, 'We've been so much time together at school that we started to think, in some ways, alike.'

Harry turned towards Hedwig. He was about to ask if she could deliver to letters at once, but didn't seeing she that she was exhausted. Instead he walked to her, picked her up gently, brought her to her cage.

Harry removed the water reservoir and emptied it. He walked into the bathroom and filled it with fresh, cold water. Harry started to get worried when she didn't drink or eat. So he tried to feed her bits and pieces of a couple of mice that he caught the night before, for when she got back. Seeing the worried look her master gave her, Hedwig allowed him to feed her.

After a couple of days he got a reply from Dumbledore saying, that it wasn't a problem if they moved to another house, since the protection was tied to the Dursleys.

His Godfather also sent him a reply it said.

Dear Harry,

That is great, now you can visit your friends every day.

Send me another letter as soon as you know the address.

I'm at the silver bearded man now.

So you can contact me there if you want to.

Love,

Padfoot

'He is staying at Hogwarts, where he's save,' Harry thought.
