Harry Potter and the Masters of the Elements



Chapter 1



Summer at the Weasleys


Harry Potter woke up on a late cool august morning, with start. He quickly looked to see an owl sitting on his foot. Harry quickly got up and grabbed the letter from the owl. And then the owl flew off. Harry quickly saw that the letter was from Albus Dumbledore. Harry quickly opened it and read it.

Harry,

I have to regretfully inform you that Voldemort has picked up were he left off fourteen years ago. So you have permission to use magic over the holidays. But on some brighter news you can go to the Weasleys this summer. I am sure you will receive an owl from then in no time. I would like it if you would go to platforms nine and three fourths on August 31. Yes a day before school. Mr. Weasley and Miss. Granger may come along also if they wish. Now I must go but remember Constant Vigilance.

Albus Dumbledore

Harry had mixed feelings, he was happy that he could go to Ron's; but he was sad about Voldemort regaining all of his power. After about five minutes of contemplating his thoughts, another owl arrived. This time Harry knew who it was from - because the owl was none other than Pig. So Harry quickly ran up and grabbed Pig and took his letter. And then he flew off. Harry quickly opened it up and read it. (see note above)

Harry,

Guess what? You can come over!! We will pick you up on the tenth of August. I can't wait to see you. You will never believe it but Percy was hired as a new teacher at Hogwarts. You will never guess for what class. Well you see they are starting a new Duelling class and it is open to all fifth year and above students. I guess everyone will get the chance to sign up. I think its something like the fifteenth of this month; they will send us information. I know I will take it. Maybe I will get the chance to Duel with Percy and then I will beat him! Oh I can't wait, are you going to take it? Well I have to go know bye. Send Pig back with a response.

Ron

P.S. You know some stupid git gave Fred and George a thousand galleons. For their Prank shop. Man I wonder who would be stupid enough to do that.

Harry smiled at this. Ron won't think it's stupid once he gets his new dress robes. Harry reread the letter and sighed, the tenth was still five days away.

*******************************************

The five days went by quickly for Harry. He spent most of the time practicing for the new class by reading up on dueling spells and his homework. This was also with, to Harry great annoyance, cleaning Dudley's room, and bathroom. To top it all off, he still had his normal chores.

*******************************************

Harry was sitting in his room making sure he has all of his things packed when his uncle yelled from downstairs.

"HARRY, get down here now!" Vernon barked

Oh, they must be here, Harry thought. So he grabbed his trunk and Hedwig's cage (Hedwig was out delivering a letter). Once Harry got downstairs, he saw Ron and Mr. Weasley waiting for him.

"Harry why didn't you tell me that you were going to go to your friends house?!" Vernon barked more then asked.

"Oh, I guess I just forgot." Harry replied

"You forgot?!" Vernon yelled.

"Now, now Mr. Dursley, it's ok. I'm sure it was a mistake. It's not like it really matters much. He's all packed and ready to go. So we will just be on our way. Don't worry he will be fine. We will make sure he gets to Hogworts." Mr. Weasley stated

Harry was trying to hold back from laughing. His uncle was getting red in the face because Mr. Weasley said Hogwarts.

"Now hear this, Harry is not going anywhere!" Vernon yelled

Harry then pulled out his wand and pointed it at Vernon. "Now uncle I'm sure you can let me go all I could do here is chores. But if I go to the Weasleys, I can have some fun. Now if you don't mind, I'll be going," Harry said sarcastically with a big grin on his face. Vernon got all purple and then turned around and left.

"Did you see the look on his face?" Ron said rolling with laughter.

"I know. It was hilarious." Harry replied

"Now Harry you shouldn't have threatened him. You can't use magic. What if he hadn't bought your bluff?" Mr. Weasley asked

"Well Dumbledore said I could use magic. And to answer your question I would have stunned his." Harry answered

"Oh, ok, well then lets go." Mr. Weasley stated

*************************************************
They reached the Burrow in Mr. Weasley's new car - a Toyota Corolla - after about a four-hour drive. Which consisted of mostly playing chess. And talking about what kind of curses they would like to put on Malfoy.

*************************************************

"We're here." Mr. Weasley stated

"Arthur, Ron, Harry your finally here! Come on in. Oh, and Hermione is here too, she just arrived." Mrs. Weasley yelled from their porch.

Ron and Mr. Weasley helped Harry with his bags and headed in. Once they got inside, they saw Hermione. Ron had his mouth open and was practically drooling because Hermione had grown up. She had grown about two inches, her hair was shorter, and she looked more like what a fifteen-year-old girl should look like.

"Ron? Ron are you there?" Harry asked elbowing him in the gut. But he just stood there.

"Ah, Hermione, you look great." Harry stated

"Thanks, you look good too (Harry had also grown about three inches and had filled in)" Hermione giggled.

Finally Ron snapped out of his daydream, and Ron and Harry took his bags upstairs.

"Wow Harry, did you see Hermione?" Ron asked

"Of course I did, I had a conversation with her. I wish I could say the same about you." Harry chuckled

After they finished, they went back downstairs and joined everyone for lunch.

"Harry my boy. I hear Professor Dumbledore said you could use magic. You may not know but I am going to be the Duelling teacher at Hogwarts. Maybe I could give you a head start and we could practice some duelling." Percy said very big-headily

"Ah sure. How about tonight?" Harry asked.

"Ok, good Harry my boy." Percy said

"Come on Harry, let's go." Ron said as he pulled Harry away

"Let's go play some chess." Ron stated

"No, I think I will go do some homework. I have lots to do." Harry said

"Fine, Hermione?" Ron asked

"No thanks, I think I will do some homework too." Hermione answered

So Harry and Hermione grabbed their books and went outside to do their homework while Ron stayed inside and played chess with anyone he could find.

*****************************

After a while of homework, Harry and Hermione decided to go and find Ron, but couldn't find him anywhere. They decided to just ask Mrs. Weasley were he was.

"Oh, Ron went out. He said it was a secret and that he would be back for dinner." Mrs. Weasley told them.

********************************

Harry and Hermione went back to their homework, but it started to rain so they headed inside. As they were doing their homework in the den, an announcement came over the radio.

The Chudley Cannons vs. Puddlemore United. At The Diagon alley stadium. Only five thousand seats available. Owl us in advanced to receive you tickets. Just ten Galleons a seat.

"Wow, that is a lot of money." Hermione stated

"You know, I think we should go." Harry said

"No, me and Ron can't afford that. Sorry Harry."

"Don't worry about it, my treat."

"Ok, I guess it will be fun." (if it's a continuing conversation, you don't need to say who's talking each time)

"Come on, lets see if we can go to Gringotts so I can take out about ninety galleons. That way, everyone can come."

************

They found Mrs. Weasley in the kitchen and Harry asked her if he could make a quick trip to Diagon alley. Mrs. Weasley told them that she needed to make a trip tomorrow and he could come along then.

After a couple of more hours, Ron returned but he wouldn't tell anyone where he had gone.

************

"Hey Ron, did you hear the Cannons are playing in Diagon Alley on the twentieth of this month?" Harry asked

"Yeah, I wish I could go." Ron said sadly.

"Well, maybe we should all go." Mr. Weasley interjected.

"Yeah, I wish. But it is ten Galleons a seat. And if we all went it would be ninety Galleons." Ron pointed out.

"Oh." Mr. Weasley said

With this, they dropped the subject. Harry and Hermione though couldn't wait tell tomorrow when they could surprise everyone.

"Well, Harry my boy, let's practice some duelling now." Percy said

So Harry, Hermione and the Weasleys went outside since it had stopped raining.

"Now Harry I want you to try to disarm me. I will block it so you can see how to do that." Percy stated

"Ok. Ready?" Harry asked

"Ya." Percy answered

"EXPELLIARMUS!" Harry yelled. And Percy went flying about ten feet and his wand went to Harry.

"I thought you were going to block it Percy." Ron yelled roaring with laughter

"I decided not to. Though it would have been easy." Percy said

"Ya." Ron replied

"Ok. Harry do you know how to block a curse?" Percy asked

"No, we don't cover that 'til seventh year." Harry answered

"Ok, all you have to do is concentrate on sending the spell back to its owner. And then wave your wand." Percy said

"Ah, ok." Harry said

"Alright, here I go. EXPELLIARMUS!" Percy yelled

Harry then concentrated really hard and waved his wand. Percy's spell then went right back and hit him and he went flying, and his wand came to Harry.

Percy got up and rubbed his head. "I think we'll call it a day." Percy said and then walked up to the house.

"Ya way to go Harry."

"That was so funny."

"I think you will be the top dueller at Hogwarts." Everyone said all of this at once

"Alright, everyone it is getting late off to bed" Mrs. Weasley stated

"Harry, wait, good night." Hermione said and then kissed Harry and then ran off with Ginny giggling.

"Good job Harry. But what was that. Why did Hermione kiss you?" Ron asked

"I don't know. Come on, let's go to bed." Harry answered.

***************

Harry and Ron went to bed. Mrs. Weasley woke Harry up early the next morning so they could go to Diagon Alley.

They went downstairs and used the floo powder to go to the Leaky Cauldron.

"Ok Harry, I will meet you here in one hour." Mrs. Weasley said

"Ok." Harry replied

Mrs. Weasley headed of to do her shopping and Harry went to Gringotts. He took out a hundred Galleons. Then he went to the Quidditch stadium and bought nine tickets. Harry still had about twenty minutes left so he decided to buy a couple of Duelling books. After the twenty minutes was up he headed back.

He met up with Mrs. Weasley outside Flourish and Blotts.

"Potter, Weasley drop your wands and come with me." A Death Eater yelled behind them.

Harry and Mrs. Weasley spun around to see two Death Eaters with their wands trained on them.

"Mrs. Weasley run, go get help." Harry said and took his wand out.

"NO! I will not leave you alone. I can help. I used to be a pretty good dueller myself." Mrs. Weasley said and took her wand out.

"Ha! You two think you can duel us. Well I can not turn my back to a Duel." one of the Death Eaters said to Harry and Mrs. Weasley.

"IMPENDIA!" Harry yelled with his wand pointed at one of the Death Eaters.

The Death Eater was just barley able to block it.

"Expelliarmus" The Death Eater yelled

Harry blocked it and it went back at the Death Eater, who just barley managed to duck.

"Crucio!" The Death Eater yelled.

Harry rebounded it right back to the Death Eater and he screamed out in pain.

"Accio." Harry yelled and the death Eaters wand came to him.

"Stupify! Harry yelled and the Death Eater fell unconscious.

Harry quickly turned around to see Mrs. Weasley on the floor and the Death Eater with her wand.

"Stupify! Accio!" Harry yelled.

And the Death Eater fell unconscious and his and Mrs. Weasley's wand went to Harry.

"Mrs. Weasley, are you ok?" Harry asked

"Yeah. Come on, let's go." Mrs. Weasley answered

************

They went back to the Burrow as quickly as possible. Once they arrived Mrs. Weasley told Mr. Weasley what had happened in Diagon Alley, and then he left for the ministry.

**********

Finally dinner arrived. Once everyone was seated Harry spoke up.

"As you all know there is a Quidditch game on the twentieth. You guys have taken me in for three summers now. And you have taken me to the Quidditch World Cup. Now I would like to show my appreciation to all of you by taking you to the Quidditch game." Harry said

"Wow Harry! That must have cost a lot. Thanks." Ron said

"No, thank you guys for all you have done for me." Harry said

*********

Finally it was the night before the Quidditch game. Harry and Ron were in their room ready to go to bed.

"Thanks again Harry. It has been my dream to see the Cannons play." Ron said

"Your welcome. We'll call it an early birthday present. Ok?" Harry asked

"Ok." Ron said

And then they drifted of to sleep.
