Golden Days- A Harry Potter Fanfic

Truth Be Told

Harry's POV:

Tonight I can't sleep. It's my birthday tomorrow but I don't think anybody will notice nor will they even care so I've decided to draw myself a cake in the dust. I think that's the best I'll get for a long time. As I go to blow out the candles I make a wish that I hope will one day come true, when a heavy bashing sound echoes from the front door. I bolt as fast as my body can muster to the nearest corner, hoping that if I push myself hard enough against it I might just disappear. After I think I am well and truly concealed I concentrate on the nearby conversation. It sounds like the crazy man that was bashing at the door is here for ... Me? But no one ever pays attention to me. At the mention of my name I get intrigued and step out of my hiding place slightly, I tell the befuddled looking man that I am indeed Harry Potter and ask him who he is.

"Rubeus Hagrid. Keeper of keys and grounds at Hogwarts." The large man says.

At this I am confused. Where or what is Hogwarts I ask myself? Then my opportunity to ask aloud arises when he says.
"But of course you'd know all about Hogwarts."
"Sorry no". I say. Rubeus Hagrid now seems confused and asks if I ever wondered where my parents learned it all. So I ask, "learnt what?"
Then I feel elated and confused. Apparently I, Harry James Potter am a wizard.

How could that be?

I turn to the man to tell him he must have made a mistake but to my surprise he was holding a box out towards me. I kindly accept the gift and open it to find a lovely cake with the words HAPEE BIRTHDAE HARRY!   Printed across the middle of it. I was highly gracious and thanked him for the cake before putting it down on the small wooden table to my right. After I have finished placing it on the table I sit beside Hagrid on the sofa. As I do he hands me a letter and I begin tearing at the seal. Once I have opened the letter I read it aloud.

Dear Mr Potter,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

At the end of that line my slightly deranged uncle, Uncle Vernon snatched the letter off me and told Hagrid that I will not be attending the school and I was furious when I heard the next sentence come out if his mouth.

"YOU KNEW! YOU KNEW ALL ALONG AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME!" I screamed at my malicious aunt and uncle.

At this they told me the truth about my parents death and it wasn't a car crash at all! They were murdered! My aunt and uncle hate me because I'm the son of a witch and wizard! Who cares what they think? They're just a bunch of Non-magic people who don't care about anything but themselves and their Little Diddykins. I say to Hagrid.

"A bunch of uptight muggles they are." He replies.

Muggles? I ask.

Non-magic folk. He says.

" There's muggles who're born without magic and squibs who're born without magic in a wizarding family".

Okay. I think I've got it now. I reply.

Once we turn around we see my pigfaced, no necked cousin Dudley devouring every last piece of the cake Hagrid got me. But with one flick of his umbrella Dudley grew a pig's tail to match the rest of his body.

He he he. He looks so stupid trying to rip off his new tail.

Before I exit the house with Hagrid I yell behind me "Put some OINKment on it, it'll come off quicker!

I pull out my polaroid camera and take a picture that with one flick of his umbrella Hagrid makes a video.

Now the journey begins!
