Chapter One Whispers in the Darkness

Most boys looked forward to their birthdays and dread returning to school; Harry Potter is not
most boys. This is because Harry Potter is no normal boy either. Fourteen years ago an evil
person by the name of Lord Voldemort came to the place Harry and his parents lived and
killed Lily and James Potter but when he came to Harry his curse seemed to rebound and
destroy himself. This was when a man named Rubeus Hagrid was ordered to retrieve Harry
from the rubble of his familys home and take him to the Dursleys who were his only living
relatives and had no magical blood in them at all. You see, Harry Potter is a wizard. And
ever since that fateful night Halloween, fourteen years ago, Harry has been stuck with an aunt
and uncle who detest him and a cousin who bullies him but at least now, unlike the first
nine years of his life, he could bear with his retched family because he only had to spend two
months of the year with them.
The rest of the year he spent at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with his
two best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. With his Gryffindor Friends,
Quidditch, Feasts, Balls and Lessons. This was the reason he was sat at his desk in the
smallest room in number four, Privet Drive doing his homework from his Transfiguration
teacher Professor McGonagall.
The sun shone onto his parchment as he thought about Various Animagi of this century,
their chosen form, markings and history, Professor McGonagall had said that a big portion of
fifth year would be taken up on the study of Animagi. After sucking his quill for a minute he
continued to write
Lorelei Papillon was born in 1964 in Prague to a Muggle woman and her
Wizard husband. A shy yet beautiful girl she was considered to be the most
desired of her nine sisters. She was also well known in Prague for being highly
intelligent. After studying at The Beauxbatons Academy Ms. Papillon took up
the job as Transfiguration teacher, a post previously held by Madame Olympe
Maxime who then became headmistress. This was when Ms. Papillon looked
into becoming an Animagus. She
But Harrys thought train was cut short by a booming voice that rattled the very floorboards
he stood on, including the loose one under his bed in which he kept many of his wizarding
items.
BOY! BOY GET DOWN HERE NOW! roared the unmistakeable voice of his Uncle
Vernon. Harry scuttled down the stairs and realised what Uncle Vernon was so furious about.
He was stood, his face turning so purple it looked like a huge bruise, as he pointed to
what looked like a battered old grey feather duster and a flying tennis ball both of which
where lying limply in Uncle Vernons salad (Everyone was still on Dudleys diet).
Recognising the duster as Errol and the tennis ball as Pigwidgeon, both of whom were
owls belonging to the Weasley family, he quickly scooped them both up and scooted back up
to his room.
He first untied the package Pigwidgeon had been carrying from round the little owls
legs and perched him in Hedwigs empty cage, as she had recently been sent with a letter to
Hermione. Opening the package he broke into a smile. It contained a stack of comic books
entitled The Adventures of Martin Miggs: The Mad Muggle as well as a letter from Ron.
Dear Harry,
How are you? Im doing fine. I thought that you might be bored at
home all summer with only those Muggles for company so I have sent you some
issues of my favourite comic I didnt know if you already had any so Ive sent
you some of the funniest ones just in case (I hope you get them, I dont know
whether Pig will make it all the way to your house with the weight of them).
The main news is Ive been made a prefect!!!! Me! Mum was dead
chuffed because she thinks theres going to be another Head Boy in the family
but I doubt that, I didnt even want to be a prefect.
Harry knew that this was a lie and that all Ron wanted to do was to follow in the footsteps of
his brothers, but he also knew that Ron would never admit this.
So if youre made a prefect too then we might be able to get back at Malfoy
and the Slytherins. Im sure you will all the teachers love you, well except
Snape but he doesnt like anyone does he? Percy says that each year four
prefects are chosen for each house for the new fifth years and that they are
chosen by the heads of the other three houses and the fourth one by
Dumbledore. Dumbledores bound to choose you Harry, Im sure of it.
Anyway enjoy the comics; Ill have to send you your birthday present soon
(Mum wouldnt let me yet).
Ron.
Harry smiled at the thought of it. He, Harry Potter, a prefect, he liked the idea of being able
to put Malfoy in his place. He sat on his bed imagining the look on Malfoys face as he took
fifty points from Slytherin.
He began to open his next letter expecting to find that Ron had forgotten to put
something in his first letter but to his surprise he found it was not from Ron at all.
Dear Harry,
First of all we have to say thanks for the money you gave us last
year, we still cant get over it. But we have put it to good use, havent we
George? Yes Fred. We have already put down the money for a joke shop in
Hogsmeade for next year. And bought Ron new dress robes. As well as a few
other things that we wont tell you about yet.
Dad says hes glad were not going into The Ministry now because of all
the fuss Cornelius Fudge is causing. He seems to want to ignore the fact that
you-know-who is back. But you said it scared you too the other night George.
Shut up Fred! Anyway Dad and Percy keep on having big arguments over the
state of The Ministry and Dad nearly quit last week! But he didnt.
We have some money left over so we used some of it to buy you this as a
Thank You. Its called a Poppins Box and you can fit as much as you want
into it and it wont become full. The item cant weigh more than the person
using the box though, so no elephants because it wont work (weve tried).
Your fellow Quidditch team members and friends
Gred and Forge
P.S. Katie got Head Girl, she told George last week.
He looked at the little box that looked to be around twenty centimetres by ten centimetres and
only around five centimetres thick. He wondered whether Fred and George were plating
another joke on him.
He took the entire stack on Martin Miggs comics (all of which were bigger than the box
in surface area) and tried to put them into the box. When his hand approached the box its lid
opened and it widened snatching the comic books from Harrys hand like a hungry animal.
Harry then reached inside and felt nothing, had he just lost all of Rons comic books? What
would Ron say?! He tried again but this time concentrating on the thing he wanted to pull
out and he could instantly feel them.
Harry was feeling a bit tired by now and, even though it was only dusk, Harry
climbed into bed. Not forgetting to open his window first in case any other owls decided to
stop by. Then he slowly drifted off into a deep sleep.
