Disclaimer: Hey all you Rowling and WB lawyers... I'll give you 10 WHOLE
PIECES of strawberry shortcake if I don't have to put a disclaimer for the
rest of the fic. Deal?
The World's Longest Author's Note: Isn't it great that you only get your best ideas where you can't put them into action for the better part of a month? Yes, I am being sarcastic. I got this at my cottage where there is no internet service at all with 2 and a half weeks before coming back here. Hope ya like it! Here is what happened in the sixth year though, because the story happens in the seventh.
In sixth year, Harry was very depressed. You can guess why. His summer was pretty crappy except for the last week and a half, where he stayed at the Burrow. Lupin and him became pretty good friends and his guardian, but Harry still had to live at the Dursleys for the summer. In sixth year Harry went out with Saiorse O'Malley (A fifth-year Ravenclaw from western Ireland) a few times during and after Christmas break, but they agreed it wouldn't work out in mid-Feb. It was really a pretty normal year until in June Voldemort attacked a small wizarding town in northern Wales, near Lupin's house. Harry flooed there only to meet Voldemort, where they basically just sent curses at each other, but the same thing happened even though of the prophecy and it became apparent that they could not kill each other with magic. Harry was taken back to Hogwarts and, strangely, all of the attacks' effect wore off within a few minutes. Hmm.
Well, anyway, this story starts on July 31th. It changes P.O.V. a lot, like this )Forest McLead( And also, since this is Ch. 1 and no one's been able to review yet (Well, DUH) this chapter is dedicated to my dog Guinness, who looks just like Sirius' Animagus in the movie except his paws and lower legs are light grey and he's a few inches shorter. That's a good enough reason, right? Well, here you are. Harry Potter and the Star Guardians.
----- Harry Potter and the Star Guardians
Chapter One -----
)Harry Potter(
I was awakened by quite a lot of things at once: Aunt Petunia yelling, Hedwig tapping at the window, Dudley starting to scream, and last but not least, Harry Potter falling out of bed. That's not a very good start to seventeen. I threw on what I wore yesterday which was conveniently crumpled at the foot of the bed and ran downstairs. After making breakfast, I found that today I had to weed the garden, clean out the fish tank and feed the fish (which Vernon got because it looks impressive, and I have to admit I like it too. (Imagine putting a plimpy in there to give Aunt Petunia a heart attack? Or a kappa to leap out and eat Dudley?)) and make a tea cake for some of Vernon's friends that would be coming tonight. Oh joy. Actually, that wasn't too bad. Well, it IS my birthday, but I don't think they even remember. Or care. Or both.
-----
Well, it's near midnight, and I'm opening all my presents. From my friends of course. Hedwig brought 4 packages, another owl brought one, and another brought a letter. Ron's first.
Hey Harry, Happy Birthday! Hope you're having as good a summer as you can at that horrid place. We're getting you as soon as you can. Lupin has a huge surprise for you about that. Hope this will cheer you up. –Ron
It was a broom maintenance book with a small ornament of a keeper flying in and out of the rings. I put them both on top of my dresser. Next was Hermione.
Happy Birthday Harry! I'm staying the rest of the summer at the Burrow. We're getting you out of there as soon as Dumbledore lets us. That will likely be in a day or so. This will give you something to do until then. –Love, Hermione
It was a book on auror training and a small spell book that looked a few hundred years old. Since I can legally do magic I could try a few at the Burrow, it looked really interesting. The next one was a box full of food (For one night?) from Mrs. Weasley, with no note except "Happy Birthday, Harry!" scrolled on the top. To my surprise, the next one was a long letter from Ginny.
Hi Harry! Happy Birthday, well as happy as it can be over there. I saw everyone else writing to you and I thought 'Well, why not me? I have a present; it would be nicer with this, right?'. I know we're pretty good friends and all but really, I don't know very much about you. So let's just try to find out more about each other, okay? Hope you don't mind a few questions. First, favourite book? Food? Song? Just list a few things like that in your reply. In case you want to know (well, you better!), my birthday is March 15th; I love sugar quills and strawberry shortcake (A/N: HA!) and also I am a huge chocoholic; my favourite book is Brandy, by Haley Fawcett; and my favourite place to just sit and think is either the top of the huge sycamore tree next to the house here, or the astronomy tower at Hogwarts... What else? Anyway I really have to go have breakfast, it's noon already. Fine, lunch. Bye Harry! -Your friend Ginny
I smiled when he put the letter down. I'll write a reply after finishing everyone else's letters and gifts. The present from Ginny was a small wooden ring with a green glass leaf on it. Next was from Fred and George, no note but a gift certificate for 30 galleons at WWW. There was one from Moony!
Happy Birthday, Harry! Just to let you know, I am at the Burrow to give you your present in person. I'll give you a hint: I'm trying to outdo Sirius. As your guardian, seeing as you have just turned seventeen, enclosed is a list of what you have inherited from Sirius and your parents. Also enclosed is your Hogwarts list, for some reason it was sent here. See ya soon... -Moony
I opened the Hogwarts list... nothing special, just a few new books and stuff... But another letter fell out with the Gringotts legal department seal on it. My hands were shaking as I opened it.
Dear Mr. Potter
You have just became of age to receive your inheritance from parents and godfather. The following is the list of what is now yours. From James Potter -Godric's Hollow. Dumbledore will take you there -The Potter family cottage, in Clifden, CO. Galway, Ireland -The sum of 152,256 galleons -The remaining contents of my vault except what is for Sirius, Remus, and Lily -If she dies first, everything I inherited from Lily From Lily Evans-Potter -The sum of 99,714 galleons -The remaining contents of my vault except what is for Sirius, Remus, and James -If he dies first, everything I inherited from James From Sirius Black -Everything James and Lily left me -A fifth of the Black family fortune -Buckbeak! You can keep him at the cottage in Ireland James left you. -The Ashien Blou Necklace. It's a family heirloom said to bring luck and protection.
All of the money you inherited from these three was placed in your vault at the time you turned seventeen. Sincerely, Bothermir Head Goblin of Gringotts Legal Department
I put down the letter. For some reason I looked at my watch and saw that it was 11:59 PM. Little did I know that in a place where no human had ever set foot, two figures said in unison, "It is time."
The clock struck midnight and I collapsed to the floor, falling asleep instantly.
Notes: Woo-hoo! A cliffie on the first chapter! Second one should be up in roughly two hours, maybe tomorrow morning. Everyone still thinks I'm at my cottage, so I have no life for the next few days. Well, review and you'll get a free piece of strawberry shortcake! Two if you're extra nice!
