Harry Potter and the Book of Impossibility

Chapter 3 - The house-warming party.

The next morning when she woke up, she thought she just had a very good dream about all activities from last day. But when she noticed that she wasn’t with her head on her pillow, but on someone’s chest, she realises that it wasn’t a dream. It was all just to good to be true, but it was really the truth. She had spent a rather erotic shower and night with Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived, the boy who saved the world from it’s dark days, the boy she had admired her whole life, the boy she only met yesterday, the boy she loved and the boy who loved her.

She kissed him gently on the cheek and stood up, just when she was dressing, he woke up. He got up too, and got dressed.

Together they went down.

"What have you two been doing? It’s 2 o’clock in the afternoon! What have you two been doing last night? You didn’t.... you know... you didn’t do IT, did you?" Brigitte asked.

"No, we didn’t do IT." They said both at the same time.

Brigitte believed them because they were both not blushing and acting very easy.

"Busy day today! We have to start decorating the house. When you are ready with breakfast, or lunch, whatever it is. You two will be doing Karlien’s room, and after that, You could do the spare bedroom, because family from Holland is coming over, we will be having a house-warming party. And I think some people will stay at night. Just put all extra mattresses in it. Harry, Dumbledore reacted to you letter." And she gave him a envelope with a Hogwarts seal, And a ministry of Magic seal. "Why is there a seal from the MOM?" Asked Harry.

"I don’t know my dear," said Brigitte, "just open it, I’m dying to know what it’s about. You only get messages from the MOM if it’s important."

Harry opened it.

Harry,

It’s okay if you stay with your new neighbours, the protection Voldemort told you about is for the whole street. And Wednesday we will be putting the same protection on the Weasleys house, that means you will be able to go there earlier than the two weeks I said before.

Professor Dumbledore

But there was more in the letter, this must be the part of the MOM, he thought.

Dear Mr Potter.

We are pleased to hear from Albus Dumbledore that you meet your new neighbours, and you are safe to go there. We always approve muggle/wizard relations (like you Aunt and Uncle have with Mr. an Mrs. van Voorthuizen). We also think that everything good that happens to The Boy Who Lived, is good for the Wizard Community.

Therefor we authorise you and Karlien van Voorthuizen, to use the necessary magic, to decorate the house, and prepare for the house-warming party.

We would like to request you only to use magic for this occasions, and not for other things. We can’t however forbid you. Because the magic that reports underage magic use, had to be shut down on you two, and will only start again next summer.

We hope you understand this, and you will do as we requested.

Yours sincerely,

Mafalda Hopkirk

Ministry of Magic

So van Voorthuizen is their last name, Harry thought, it must be a Dutch name.

Harry showed the letter to Karlien and her mother, they were both glad that Harry and Karlien were allowed to do magic.

Harry and Karlien went upstairs to start emptying all the boxes.

First they magiced the closets in their usual shape, because they were all taken apart. Then they started to take her clothes out. She had a lot of them. A few school robes of her old school, a lot of muggle clothes. Short skirts, longer ones, tight tops, less tight tops, sweaters, t-shits, pants, bra’s, other underwear, shoes, and a few dress robes. Everything looked beautiful.

"What do you want me to wear tonight at the house-warming party?" She said.

Harry thought for a moment.

"Ehh... this, and... ehh... this."

"Okay." She said. And she put on the clothes he picked.

"No," he said when she was dressed, "that’s something for a wedding. Try this."

They tried almost all Karlien’s clothes. They had a lot of fun. Because Harry took very strange combinations.

Finally he said: "This is it, it’s perfect," she wore a short blue skirt and a tight blue top, "to make it even better, you shouldn’t wear that bra under it." He said.

She took of the top, and then her bra. Harry looked at her for a moment. Then she put on the top again and Harry looked very happy.

"Your so beautiful." He said. She blushed.

"Should I wear make-up?"

"No, please don’t, you look beautiful without it, it will only make to look less pretty."

"Okay." She said. And their lips met. Harry felt like he was flying, so happy was he. He had never been in love so much.

After a minute or 2 they went on with their duties. When they were finally finished, they went to the spare bedroom and started to put all the extra mattresses in it. They also moved the second mattress from Karlien’s room into the spare bedroom. "We could sleep in one bed." She said.

There was a total of 5 mattresses on the ground. They had to use magic to enlarge room, because it wasn’t large enough.

When they were downstairs having a drink, somebody rang the bell. Karlien went to the front door to open it, and Harry followed her.

She saw who was standing outside, it was her whole family from Holland.

"Hallo, hoe is het ermee?" She asked all of them. Harry wondered what she said, Karlien saw his face and said: "I said: Hello, how are you doing?

You will have to get used to me talking Dutch today, but I will translate most of it for you. Maybe you learn a bit of it." Harry agreed. She started to introduce Harry to everyone. "Dit is Harry Potter." She told here family.

"DE Harry Potter?!?!?!" said someone, probably one of Karlien’s uncles.

"DE Harry Potter? De gene die Je-weet-wel heeft verslagen???" said the man.

Harry knew what he said. He asked her if he was THE Harry Potter, the one who defeated You-know-who. They were all looking to his forehead, but they couldn’t see his scar. He pulled away his hair a bit, and everybody started pointing at him.

"Het is waar dat hij een litteken heeft, echt in de vorm van een bliksemschicht." They were all excited. "They said: It’s true he has a bolt of lightning scar." Translated Karlien.

"Is hij het vriendje waar je moeder het over had?" asked a little girl, she turned out to be Karlien’s little niece.

"Ja, Harry Potter is mijn vriendje. Hij is het beste dat me ooit is overkomen. Jullie spreken toch wel Engels? Harry verstaat geen woord Nederlands, is het goed als we Engels praten? Dan kan Pieter het voor de kleintjes vertalen."

"Okay." Said the man.

"I told them you don’t understand Dutch, and I asked them to talk English when you are around. Pieter, my uncle will translate it in Dutch for the kids who don’t speak English yet. I also told them you are the boyfriend my mother told them about." Translated Karlien. "I’m gonna kill my mother!" She whispered in Harry’s ear.

"Very nice to finally meet the famous Harry Potter!" said Pieter. And then he told Harry who everyone was. Karlien had three little nieces, 2 nephews, 3 uncle’s and aunt’s and 4 grandparents. Harry couldn’t remember and even pronounce the names, because it were all Dutch names, like Gert-Jan, Eline, Robert-Jan, Klaas (Karlien’s grandfather, her father was named after him), there was a Kleine Jantje, which means Little Jantje.

At six o’clock, someone rang the bell, there were already a lot of people, and Karlien didn’t know who else could come. She asked Harry to open the door. She stayed with her parents and the other guests. Through the little window, he saw a lot of red hear, a little brown, one person with a very large neck, and to very fat people.

He opened and he saw the whole Weasley family, Ron, Ginny, Fred, George, Percy, Bill, Charlie, Molly and Arthur. Hermione was also there. Behind them were the two fat people and the one with the large neck. It were the Dursleys. They looked shocked, because they knew the Weasleys were wizard, and they probably found out that Karlien and her parents were wizards too. They looked as if they wanted to go back home. But Dudley insisted to go to the party. He wants to see Karlien, Harry thought.

He was surprised about Hermione and the Weasleys, he didn’t know they were invited.

"Brigitte invited us, she heard you talking about us. She wrote about how you told them how nice we are, about you and Karlien dating, everything, she didn’t knew about Hermione, but she was staying with us, and we brought her with us." Said Molly.

Harry took them to the living room, and introduces Ron and Hermione to Karlien. Ron and Hermione liked her to. They talked for hours. Everyone enjoyed the evening. There were little snacks, a lot of butterbeer. Dudley drunk a few too, Vernon and Petunia were furious with him, because he was drinking wizard drinks.

Harry went to the toilet, nobody noticed him. Everyone was laughing, talking, dancing.

When he was sitting on the toilet, the music suddenly stopped and everyone started to scream, someone ordered them to be quiet. Harry quickly left the toilet and put his ear to the door and listened.

He cast a spell on the door to see trough it. He saw someone standing with Karlien neck in his one hand, he choked her neck. In his other hand he hold a wand.

It was Dudley, Harry looked stunned.

"Where’s Harry Potter?" He demanded, "Harry Potter, show yourself if you don’t want me to break her neck." Dudley stood with his back towards the door. Harry quietly opened the door and pointed his wand to him.

"Let her go! You don’t want her, you want me. Lets keep this a little bit fair. Lets battle, only you and me! The one who defeated Voldemort 4 times, against a very fat, ugly, person, who is supposed to be muggle, who never told his parents, because he knew they would kill him." Harry said.

Dudley let go of Karlien and she run to her mother, who hugged her.

"Dudley, stop it!" Screamed Vernon furiously.

"Why do you want me? Are you jealous of me because I date Karlien? I thought you agreed with me when I told you to get over it!" Harry yelled at Dudley.

"No, it’s not that I’m jealous. My master, the Dark Lord wanted me to kill you. Now I will."

Harry yelled "Expelliarmus", Dudley did the same, at the same time. The two spells hit each other and flew somewhere else. Towards Karlien’s grandfather, He was also holding his wand, just as a lot of other people. His wand flew away.

"Stupefy" Harry yelled, "Crucio," Dudley yelled at exactly the same time. Both spells stopped each other and disappeared. The battle lasted at least 5 minutes, and a lot of other people were hit. Happily not by one of the Unforgivable Curses. Harry knew none of them, but Dudley used the Cruciatus curse a lot, Harry stopped all of them. Then they both yelled the Expelliarmus spell again, but this time, they passed each other, and both Harry and Dudley were hit. Both their wands flew away, Dudley’s flew towards his parents. Vernon caught him. He snapped it in two halves, his wand gave a very lout, high sound, Harry was wondering for a while what a cry of a Mandrake would sound like, now he knew, but it didn’t kill him. Then the sound stopped, and Dudley’s wand was broken.

Harry’s wand however flew right towards Dudley. It flew right into his wand hand.

He pointed it towards Harry.

"So this is how the famous Harry Potter comes to his end, at a party, with all his friends around him, his girlfriend crying. Killed by his own nephew, who he thought was a muggle, but was a Deatheater for the Dark Lord. Avada Kedavra." He yelled.

There was a bright green light. But nothing else happened.

When Harry opened his eyes again. He saw Dudley lying on the ground, dead.

He held Harry wand in his hand, he still had his mouth opened from saying the killing curse. Then Harry noticed something strange. He walked towards him. Nobody else did that, because they thought it was a trap. When Harry took his wand back, he saw Dudley was holding it towards him self. In all the confusion about the fight, he didn’t noticed that he held the wand the wrong way. And he killed himself.

Arthur Weasley came towards Harry and Dudley’s body. He looked shocked. He murmured something. And looked at Dudley.

Petunia was crying. Vernon had fainted.

Ron, Hermione and Karlien ran to Harry and hugged them one by one. Karlien was the last one.

"I was so scared, I thought you would die."

She was crying.

She let go of him and went to Dudley. She gave him a hard kick on his face, and in his stomach. Suddenly, the hand he had held her with before, changed colour.

It turned silver. His hair was going into his head, al his fat disappeared, and his face changed.

It was Wormtail.

"Polyjuice potion" Harry said.

"Yes, it is." Said Arthur Weasley.

Suddenly Brigitte yelled:

"Peter Pettigrew! He’s dead!"

"Of course he is, he just killed himself." Karlien said, irritated about the stupid words of her mother.

"No, that’s not what I mean. He’s been dead for 14 years!!! Sirius Black killed him, remember?"

"No, he wasn’t," Harry said.

"He’s speaking the truth." Said Ron, Hermione, Molly and Arthur, who all knew what really happened. Molly must have told Arthur this summer, after she saw Sirius in the Hospital at Hogwarts.

"Everybody thought that Sirius betrayed my parents and Peter tracked him down the next day, and Sirius killed him. It was they other way around. My parents and Dumbledore knew that Voldemort was after them. Dumbledore suggested to use the Fidelius Charm, they agreed and used Sirius Black as their secret keeper. But just before the spell was performed, Black said that they must take Peter Pettigrew as secret keeper, who was also a friend of my father. Voldemort would go after Black and nobody suspected Pettigrew to be the secret keeper. Even Dumbledore didn’t know.

Pettigrew turned out to be a servant of Voldemort, and he betrayed them. That’s how my parents died. Sirius, who came to our house, and saw our body’s, realised what Peter must have done. And he tracked him down. He found him the next day.

Pettigrew, who was holding his wand behind his back, blew up the street and killed a lot of people, he cut of his finger, and turned into a rat. He was an Animagus. Just as my father was. Sirius thought he was dead and laughed. The ministry came, and placed him in Azkaban. Pettigrew went to live with a wizard family, to be honest, he was Ron’s rat Scrabbers."

Everybody except Ron and Hermione looked astonished. Nobody knew about this. Molly and Arthur knew, but didn’t know how it happened. And Ron’s family also looked shocked because they never knew about Scrabbers.

When everybody was left, only the Weasleys, Hermione and the Dursleys were still there.

The Dursleys were shocked, they wanted to know where the real Dudley was.

Five minutes later, the doorbell rang. Arthur opened. It was Mad-Eye Moody and some other Aurors. They came inside, and looked surprised to see Wormtail. The probably didn’t know about him either. This time it was Arthur who told the story. The aurors believed him. They took Wormtail, and left to the ministry.

"I thought Moody was retired?" Hermione said.

"He was, but after last year, he realised he missed it, and he came back," Arthur said, "Harry you can come with us if you want to."

"I’m not leaving Karlien, no discussion possible about it!" Harry said, nobody protested to it. Karlien hugged him, and they kept holding each other, she was still crying.

"I will stay here with her." Said Harry, over Karlien’s shoulders, who was still hugging him. She somehow felt safe with him. Nowhere else, not ever with her parents, she felt safe. His warm body, his muscles, her head lying on his shoulders, she didn’t want to let go of him.

"Karlien can come with you, but I can only accept you after Wednesday. You know why." Arthur said.

"I know, but does her parents agree with it?"

"Of course she can go, we can finish the house while she’s gone." Her mother said.

"I will come and pick you up Thursday, then I can arrange cars from the ministry." Told Mr. Weasley.

They went to bed when everybody was gone. Karlien and Harry slept almost immediately. But first they talked a while.

"You defeated Voldemort four times? I only know of three, the one you were a baby, the one with Quirrell, in your first year, and the one with the young Voldemort, in the Chamber of secrets. When was the fourth time?"

"Last year, after the third task. The cup was a portkey. It directed me towards Voldemort’s re-birth."

"V-v-v-v-voldemort’s re-birth? Is he back?"

"Yes, he is. The whole school knows, Fudge won’t believe it. He just refuses to believe it and take the necessary precautions. Like sending away the Dementors from Azkaban, because they will follow Him immediately. Or to sent messages to the giants, to become friends with them, before Voldemort does that."

She fell asleep with her head on Harry’s body. He fell asleep right after that, with his hand around her as if he hugged her.
