Bountys End

Chapter 2

Harry was in his room, looking out the window….looking for Hedwig. He looked down at his watch. The display read 10:30.

‘I should get to reading those charm books Hermione sent over’ he thought

He stood up and walked over to his trunk and he opened it to retrieve 1000 ways to improve your dueling skills. He sat back down on his bed and flipped to the last page.
He sat reading for about an hour when he saw Hedwig flew into his window. Hedwig landed on the bedpost and held her leg out warily.

“Thank Hedwig, here are some owl treats” he said while feeding the hungry owl.

He sat down while he read his letter.

Dear Harry,

How is it going? I’m sorry that attack happened during the summer. I wish I was there to help you. When is the next time you think you are coming to visit? Mum said she can talk to your uncle if you want. Just owl me if you get a chance that you want to.

Ron
P.S. What are you doing for your birthday?

Harry didn’t have a clue what he was doing for his birthday. He looked at his calendar.
His birthday was only seven days away.

‘It feels like the summer was flying by faster each year.’

He stood up and walked over to his door. He opened it and walked down to the living room where the Dursleys were watching the T.V. Harry cleared his throat, and Mr. Dursley nearly jumped out of his skin.

“Damn it, I told you never to do that” huffed Uncle Vernon.

“I didn’t mean to scare you. You should pay more attention to your surroundings” yelled Harry.

“Don’t you raise your voice to me in my house” roared his uncle as he stood.

“Well if you didn’t act like such a bloody asshole about things then I wouldn’t have to.”

“That’s it, no more of your none sense, get out of my house” shouted Vernon.

As he approached, Harry drew his wand. Vernon eyed the wand and stood his ground. Dudley stood as well next to his father, but with a worried look on his face.

“You can use it outside of school, you will get into trouble.” Said Vernon indefinitely.

“Now that Voldemort is back I can use magic now. So don’t think I can’t or won’t do it.” Said Harry as he aimed his wand back and forth from Vernon to Dudley. They both look at each other and Dudley was the first to try and rush Harry. Dudley speared Harry into the wall. Harry aimed his wand at Dudley.

“Incarcero” Harry shouted, and ropes shot around Dudley.

Dudley collapsed onto the ground and Harry stepped over him as he cast a silencing charm on Dudley to stop his squealing. Harry felt his anger boiling.

“I won’t take this anymore Vernon, and I’m leaving Dudley like he is because he is a prat. Just be lucky I didn’t curse him.” Growled Harry

Vernon blotched at that. Harry turned and walked up stairs and packed his trunk with a few waves of his wand. He levitated his trunk down stairs and walked past the living room where he saw Vernon and his wife trying to get the ropes off of Dudley. He calmly kept walking to the front door and when he was on the front steps he opened his trunk and retrieved his cloak. As he was putting it on Tonks popped in front the house not even ten feet ahead of him. He whipped out his wand.

“Tonks, put your hands in the air before I hex you.” Harry said as he circled behind her.

“What are you doing Harry, we detected magic use here.” Said Tonks.

“What was the question Mortimer asked you the day of my attempted assassination?”

“What does that have to do with anything?”

“I need to know if it is really you. So answer the question now”

She sighed “He asked me ‘What was my favorite position’. How do you know that?”

“Because” he said as he removed his cloak “I wanted to know what he said that made you blush so much. We have to get out of here right now. Where do we go?”

“We can apparate to the Leaky Cauldron for a bit till we get things sorted out. Here grab my hand so we can side along.”

“O.k. I got to grab my stuff first.”

Harry ran to his truck and shrunk it to pocket size. After putting it away he walked back and grabbed Tonks hand.

“Ready to go when you are.” Said Tonks.

“Yeah I’m ready to go.” Harry said with a smirk.

There was a loud crack and they dissapparated.

“Everyone shut up just for one moment!” Yelled Minerva. “Just because there was high magic levels at Harry’s house doesn’t mean he was being attacked. Tonks went to investigate the situation with Bill and Charlie. They should be back soon. A silver ribbon flew into the room and Minerva caught in out of thin air. She pulled it straight and began to read it.

“Bill, and Charlie are coming back because they couldn’t find Harry, but there is something else important, and they’ll tell us when they get back.” She finished

Just then the two walked through the door. Wands went to them and they answered the questions that were asked.

“What happened at the house?” asked Minerva calmly.

But before could answer the question, There was a loud crack and two people smashed through the table. Everyone jumped back, wands drawn. In the rubble, Tonks and Harry emerged dusting of the clothes. They looked around at all of the wands pointed at them.

“Put your hands on your head and answer my questions.” Growled Mad Eye Moody.

Both Harry and Tonks know the drill so they do as they are told.

“Tonks what did I give you for your 18 birthday?”

“A arm wand holster and a knife.” Said Tonks.

“Good, did you test Harry yet? Asked Moody.

“No, but only Harry and one other person know the question that he tested me with earlier.” She said, glaring at Mortimer.

Everyone lowered there wands and Mortimer looked over at Harry.

He smiled at Harry “You didn’t ask her THAT….did you?”

“Yeah only two people knew it so it seemed the ideal question.” Harry said
Everyone looked at each other trying to figure out what was said. They all gave up and Minerva repaired the table. And they all sat back down.

“O.k. Harry what happened? Our sensors detected extremely high levels of magic coming from your house. So we sent Tonks, Bill, and Charlie over to se what happened. Then Bill and Charlie return first and walked in right when you went through the table.” Minerva said.

“Well I went downstairs to ask my uncle something and he went bloody crazy on me. Then Dudley attacked me, so I tied him up and silenced him. After that I didn’t want to stick around for the ministry to start coming around. So I was about to leave but Tonks caught me first.” Harry said.

“Then why were there massive amounts of magic coming from your house?

“I don’t know for sure but, I was pretty angry at them.” Harry finished lamely

All of the order member looked at each other. Then it was Minerva was the first to speak.

“Thank you Harry you may go to the living room while we finish our meeting.”

Harry stood up and exited the kitchen. As He entered the living room he was greeted by Ginny, Hermione, Ron, Luna, Fred, and George. They were all shocked to hear what happened, but Ron, Fred, and George thought it was bloody brilliant what he did to Dudley. He sat down on the couch, and they started talking about everything that has been going on in the order and around the house. About twenty minutes later, everyone started leaving the kitchen of the Weasley house so they could make their trip home. He greeted the rest of the order and asked Minerva if he could talk after everyone leaves. After everyone left he walked into the kitchen with Minerva. He turned towards her.

“Professor, I want to start learning nonverbal spells, and wandless magic.”
“Both are very hard to do Harry and they need a great deal of concentration. Are you up for it” she asked?

“Yes I want to learn this, I feel that they will greatly increase my chances of survival in a duel.”

“Well I will coordinate times, and days with Moody so we can start.”

“Thanks Professor. This means a lot to me.” said Harry

“Anytime, i'm glad you are interested in things like that, in makes me proud of you. Well Harry I must go.”

Minerva briskly said her goodbyes and left.

A/N: it is the end again sorry so short. I think I’m getting writers block. Well let me know what you think.
