Mr. Pokemon Master
Master of Dragons
Hey. I put up this story on harrypotterfanfiction and it was getting solid reviews but i wanted 2 get more feedback so i decided to post it here as well. For those concerned with the length, this is one of the shortest chapters planned.
The sun was setting on the tiny village of Little Whinging. Everyone had already retreated to their living rooms, leaving Privet Drive seemingly empty. The only person left outside was a young man sitting on the wall in front of a house. He had dark unruly hair and green eyes that seemed to shine in the darkness. Yet, there was something special about Harry Potter. It could have been the wand he was holding in his hand. But when you're a wizard, that's not unexpected, so what was so special about Harry? Perhaps it was because even in the Wizarding world, he was special. Harry Potter was the chosen one, the one predicted to defeat the dark lord, Voldemort.
Though tonight he was going to forget about Voldemort, he just didn't want to think about him for once. Harry glanced at his watch and sighed. Tonks and Remus were supposed to pick him up at 10 o'clock at Mrs. Figg's house and bring him straight to the Burrow. Harry was anxious to see his friends Hermione and Ron, but they had seemed to be alright from the letters they had sent Harry. More than alright, Harry said to himself with a grin. He was pretty sure from reading the letters that Ron and Hermione had admitted that they liked each other and were going out. Ron in particular seemed to be giving more hints about his relationship with Hermione.
In his last letter he had mentioned that he and Hermione were having less arguments and Hermione was bugging him less about school and homework. Hermione, in her last letter, had simply told Harry that someone from the Order of the Phoenix was coming to pick him up at Mrs. Figg's house. The Order was a group of highly trained wizards whose sole purpose was to fight and stop Voldemort from taking over the Wizarding world. Ron's whole family belonged to the Order except for Ron, Percy, his brother who had left his family to support the Ministry, and his little sister Ginny, who was not of age.
Harry looked at his watch again and got up from his uncomfortable spot on the wall. He slowly walked up Privet Drive to where it met Wisteria Walk and ambled up the path to Mrs. Figg's house. He knocked on the door and it was opened by a rather batty old woman who smiled when she saw Harry.
"Hello Harry Remus and Tonks haven't arrived yet, but come on in," she said. Harry thanked her and stepped into her house as she walked towards the kitchen to get something for her and Harry to eat. The familiar smell of cabbage filled the house and Harry sat down in a comfy armchair in the living room. She then walked in with a plate of cookies and set them down on the coffee table before Harry and seated herself in front of him by the empty fireplace.
"So how are you, Harry?" Mrs. Figg asked.
"I'm fine, Mrs. Figg, just tired that's all," Harry replied
"Please Harry, call me Arabella, you're making me sound old," Mrs. Figg laughed. Harry himself had to chuckle and grabbed a cookie from the plate.
"These are delicious Mrs...Arabella," Harry said correcting himself as he bit carefully into the cookie in his hand.
"Thank you, their chocolate chip. They took me forever to make, considering Mr. Tibbles decided to eat all of the batter," Arabella explained with another laugh. Harry smiled and took another. Arabella looked at Harry with concern. "And how are Vernon and Petunia treating you?" she asked. Harry's smile vanished immediately, though the dark, pained expression lasted only a moment before he corrected it with an unreadable look.
"Alright. They just seem to be ignoring me," Harry answered carefully. Mrs. Figg took one look at Harry's pale face and knew he wasn't telling the truth about his uncle and aunt.
"You sure?" she said and Harry nodded. "Alright, just be careful," she warned. Harry looked away and pretended to be interested in the pictures covering the wall of the room.
"Who's that?" he asked, pointing to a portrait of an old man who was waving to Harry. Mrs. Figg smiled and waved back to the man.
"You don't know who that is?" Mrs. Figg asked incredulously. Harry looked at the man, who smiled back at Harry, his eyes twinkling.
"No I don't," Harry said. Mrs. Figg almost stared at him.
"That's Dumbledore," she said as if it were the simplest thing in the world.
"Dumbledore?" Harry asked. "But that doesn't look like him."
"That picture was taken a while ago, when we were in the first war, fifteen years ago," Arabella explained.
"But why is his picture here?" Harry asked still confused. Mrs. Figg laughed.
"So that I could communicate with him," Arabella explained. Just as Harry reached for another cookie, Arabella leaped up and quickly lit the fireplace.
"Almost forgot," she said and then sat down back in her chair. Half an hour later, the fireplace roared and turned green. Harry jumped. A figure appeared in the fireplace and tripped, landing flat on the floor.
"Hello, Tonks," Harry said with a grin. Tonks grinned as she brushed herself off.
"Wotcher, Harry," she said as the fire roared again and Remus stepped out gracefully.
"Hello Harry, good to see you," Remus said and gave Harry a brief hug.
"Remus, how's everything?" Harry asked.
"Fine, bit hectic but fine," Remus replied. Both Remus and Tonks politely greeted Mrs. Figg and took the cookie she offered them before turning back to Harry.
"We better head back over to your house, Harry, to get your stuff. Come on," Tonks said. Tonks grabbed Harry and dragged him out the door without even saying goodbye to Mrs. Figg. Remus was left alone with Mrs. Figg. After saying goodbye to her, Remus quickly followed. Tonks led Harry up the street to 4 Privet Drive and entered the house without knocking. Apparently, Vernon and Petunia were in the kitchen and Harry rushed up the stairs so he could unlock all the locks on the door before Remus and Tonks could see them. Just as he unlocked the third one, Remus came up the stairs and was behind Harry. He took one look at all the locks and said nothing but Harry could tell he was angry from the dark expression on his face. Harry quickly opened the door and grabbed his trunk. He tried to drag it, but winced every time he tried to pull with a pained expression on his face.
"You alright?" Remus asked concerned, Harry nodded and tried one more time before he had to give up and let Remus float it down. As Harry walked down first, a hand suddenly grabbed him and yanked him into the living room before he realized it was his Uncle Vernon.
"What are those freaks doing in my house?" Vernon said angrily. Harry yanked himself away from Vernon and stepped out of his grasp.
"They've come to pick me up!" Harry said stubbornly.
"And you know that I will not permit freaks to just walk into my house," Vernon said, growing redder by the second. Harry nodded and then ducked from a punch Vernon had sent towards his face.
"HOW DARE YOU BRING THEM IN," he said punching madly at Harry. Harry ducked all of his punches and tried to get away. Vernon then slammed his fist into Harry's chest and sent Harry flying across the room. Harry hit the wall and stars twinkled in front of his face. Before he could stand up, he was hit again, this time in the face by Vernon's mad punches. Harry cried out as he hit the wall again and he saw Vernon winding up for another punch and Remus just walking into the room with a shocked look on his face before he fainted.
