Harry Potter and the Book of Impossibility

Chapter 4 - At the Burrow.

Next morning, Sunday morning, they got up. They both had wonderful dreams about their loves. So they forgot the horror of last night. Everything was normal again.

When they came down, showered (together) and dressed, there were two people sitting at the table. Cornelius Fudge, the minister of magic, and Albus Dumbledore.

"Good morning, Harry!" Dumbledore said happily.

"Morning," Harry repeated, "What are you two doing here if I may ask?"

"Were here to repair your protection. The magic should had to make sure, thing like yesterday can’t happen. It failed." Dumbledore paused.

"I know why it failed, Harry," Dumbledore said, "In the 14 years that magic is working now..." Harry interrupted him.

"Did it get too old, was it breaking down?"

"No, it didn’t. The magic lasts forever, unless you cast a counter spell. Which only you and I can do. Because it protects you, and I made it. The reason it failed, as I was trying to tell you before, is: The magic got used to the negative behaviour of your aunt and uncle. It recognised them because of their hate to you. This year however, they were nicer to you. So the spell got confused. That’s why it failed. We’re here to repair it, we will also improve it. Once we’ve done that, it will protect you, if your aunt and uncle are nice to you, and when they don’t. It will be quick. We are going to do it now, then we will leave and prepare to protect the Weasleys Wednesday. Just go and have breakfast, clean the house a bit. And say goodbye to us, because you will not see us anymore today." When Dumbledore was finished, Fudge stood up and asked Harry if he could talk with him for a moment.

"Okay." Harry said.

They went to the kitchen and talked.

"You must be glad to hear that the real Dudley had been found, he was tied up in the basement of his house." Harry wasn’t glad at all, but didn’t say it. Fudge went on.

"Alastor Moody told me about Pettigrew and Black, but I want to hear it from you before I believe it. He told me the whole story, and if you will tell me that story too, and the two stories are the same, I will believe it and tell it to the Daily Prophet. Black will be a free citizen again." Harry told him the whole story. But he didn’t tell him about how he and Hermione saved Black and Buckbeak.

When Harry was finished, Fudge told him that the stories were the same, and that he will order the Dementors to stop looking for him.

"You must order the Dementors to leave Azkaban too, or do you still not believe that Voldemort is back."

"No, I still think it’s nonsense."

"I thought it was obvious that Voldemort did that attack on NY and Washington." Harry said angrily.

"I’ve never thought of that! Nobody did. What you say could be true. Because we’re sure it was done by magic. We noticed that the Imperius curse was used at some airports. I will investigate it. Thanks for your help. Maybe now I will be able to believe that he is back. You’ve just given me some prove. Nobody else is evil enough to do something like that. Well, maybe that dark wizard that the muggles suspect. But we’re monitoring him, and he didn’t do it." Fudge looked shocked about that news, but he also looked proud at Harry.

It was a fun day. Harry and Karlien went to their room, and did their homework. They had to find out what spell could make them laugh the best. It was extra easy for them to do, because they were allowed to test their spells. The rest of the people had to use books to find it out, which made it a lot more difficult. They spend all day laughing. When it was late in the afternoon, they finally found the best spell. They had pain in there stomach because of all the laughing.

It were the best few days in Harry’s live.

Thursday morning they packed all their stuff. In the end of the morning, Mr. Weasley came.

He had borrowed a car from the ministry.

They said goodbye to Brigitte and Klaas, and Harry thanked them.

Finally they left. "Up to the Weasleys!" Harry said.

They seemed to arrive very fast. Harry thought Mr. Weasley used magic to speed up the car.

When they entered the house, everybody was having lunch.

All the Weasley’s were there, Hermione too. But there were two more people.

Penelope Clearwater, Percy’s girlfriend, and Angelina Johnson.

Harry wondered why she was here. But before he could ask, George stood up.

"Hi Karlien! This is Angelina Johnson, my girlfriend. And she is Penelope Clearwater, Percy’s girlfriend."

"Pleasure to meet you." Karlien said to Penelope and Angelina.

They talked for an hour.

Suddenly Charlie said:

"Let’s play a game of Quidditch!"

Everybody agreed.

They had two full teams. Angelina, Ron and Ginny were chasers. Fred and George were beaters, Karlien was keeper and Harry was seeker.

In the other team Charlie was seeker, Percy, Penelope and Hermione were chasers, Molly and Arthur were beaters, and Bill was keeper.

Angelina had brought her Quidditch balls with her. The Weasleys didn’t have them.

Karlien was an excellent keeper. Charlie’s team was far from good. But they had a lot of fun. Karlien stopped all the score attempts, which was good, because Hermione turned out to be a natural Chaser, that’s not what Harry had thought, because last time he saw Hermione fly, she wasn’t that good, but that must have been the nervous. He had seen her fly twice, In their first year, with flying lessons, she was nervous because she couldn’t learn it from books. And the other time was also in the first year. When they were going after Voldemort and Quirrell, she was nervous then, but that didn’t surprise Harry.

Now however, she wasn’t nervous at all, she had a lot of fun.

Two hours later, is was 340-0 in the advantage of Harry’s team, when Harry suddenly saw Charlie dive. It was true what they said. He was good enough to play for England. But because he had a very old broom, Harry quickly passed him, and caught the snitch.

The game was over. Harry’s team won with 490-0, but the losers didn’t mind. They had such a wonderful time playing it.

Angelina asked Fred, George and Harry if she could talk to them for a minute without the others. So they left and stopped at a tree, she made sure nobody could hear them, and said:

"Wood left, so we don’t have a keeper anymore. That means we need a new one, am I right?" The boys nodded. "I saw Karlien today, and I think she’s a very good keeper, she stopped the quaffle every time, and Hermione is a good chaser. I suggest we take Karlien as the new keeper of our Gryffindor team." Everybody agreed with her, Karlien was a good keeper.

"We also need a new captain, and we can’t decide who, unless Katie and Alicia are with us. But I personally think Harry should be the captain." Harry blushed, Fred and George agreed.

"I will owl Katie and Alicia tonight. Tomorrow we will know who our new captain will be."

They all went to take a quick shower. Because they were all sweating. It was 35 degrees, and Harry had never experienced it that hot, it was tropical.

Mrs Weasley was first, and when she was ready, she went down to cook immediately, Harry and Karlien were the last one to shower, and when they both were dressed, the dinner was just ready.

Mrs Weasley already proved that she was an excellent cook, but she proved it again. It was delicious.

After dinner, Percy and Penelopy stood up.

Percy asked for attention. And said:

"Penelope and I have to tell you something," Molly was staring curious at them.

Penelope took it from Percy and told the rest of it.

"I haven’t had my period for two months now, and two months ago Percy and I... well... you know, we did it two months ago. That means I’m pregnant."

Everyone looked stunned, Molly and Arthur were almost crying of happiness, "We’re going to be grandparents" Molly said quietly to Arthur.

"Wow! I’m going to be uncle!" Ron yelled at Percy. "Thanks man!"

Ron looked really happy.

Angelina however looked really concerned to George. Harry could guess why.

Once everyone congratulated them, Harry, Ron, Karlien and Hermione went to Ron’s room.

Ron said:

"We four will be sleeping here."

Harry looked around, and saw there were only two beds in the room.

"Were is Hermione going to sleep?"

"Haven’t someone told you yet?" Hermione said astonished.

"Told me what?" said Harry.

"Ron and I are dating, just as you and Karlien."

Harry looked shocked. "I... I wouldn’t have thought that, since when?"

"You remember me giving you a kiss on your cheek? Well, when you were gone, I gave Ron one too, but he kissed me back, on my mouth. Then I realised I was in love with him, there always were two boys in my life, and I was never able to decide which one was the right one, that was the moment I discovered it."

"Who was the other boy?" Harry asked curious.

"It was you. Karlien don’t be mad at me, it’s all over now." Hermione said quietly.

He should have known, he didn’t need to ask her, Ron and he were the only two boys in her life.

"That’s why there are only two beds in this room, for four people. One for me and Harry, and one for Hermione and Karlien."

They all looked at him as if he said he was a Deatheater.

"Just kidding!" He said, when he saw their faces.

They all laughed.

The next morning, when they woke up, it was still very hot outside.

Harry and Ron decided to wear no t-shirt, only shorts.

Karlien had the same clothes as she worn with the house warming party.

Hermione wore the same as Karlien but in pink.

They went down and saw that everybody was awake already.

"We couldn’t sleep because of the heat." Arthur said.

"I suggest we go swimming today, in the lake near the house." He said. Everybody agreed, only Harry didn’t, Molly noticed that and asked him why.

"Well, you all know the Dursleys, they hate me. They never learned me how to swim, they hoped I would drown one day."

"But how did you do that second task?" Angelina asked.

"I used gillyweed, that made me breath underwater, but I also knew how to swim because of it"

"I will teach you, I swim since my fourth, It’s my hobby, I’m really good in it." Karlien said.

After breakfast, they went upstairs again. To change into their swimming suits, Harry and Karlien waited outside Ron’s chamber, because Ron and Hermione changed first. When they were ready, Harry and Karlien went in.

Suddenly Harry realised he had no swimming suit, someone knocked on the door. It was Ron.

He realised too that Harry didn’t have a swimming suit.

"Never mind," Harry said, "Watch this." He took an old pair of trousers, pointed his wand towards it and changed it into a swimming suit.

"Harry! You know you can’t do magic outside school!" Ron yelled.

"I can," Harry said, "The ministry allowed me and Karlien to do magic."

"Why?" Ron asked.

"I will tell you later, may we please change now?"

"Okay." Ron said, and he left.

Karlien took her clothes of, Harry did the same.

Karlien searched in her trunk, and she found a blue bikini. She put it on.

It looked really sexy Harry thought, while he put his own swimming suit on.

They went outside. Hermione wore the same bikini as Karlien.

"Coincidence." Karlien whispered to Harry.

On their way down they met Penelope and Percy.

It was clear that Penelope was pregnant, her belly had grown a little.

Ginny wore a pink bikini.

Everybody except Karlien was as white as snow. Karlien was rather brown, she must have spent a lot of time in her bikini, when she was in Holland. She noticed that everybody was white, and she told them about the summers in Holland.

"When I was in Amstelveen, the town I lived in Holland, I used to swim every Friday evening, in a local swimming pool called "De Meerkamp".

I also sailed a lot, at a water sport club called ‘Water Sportvereniging Amstelveen’, ‘WSA’. Sailing is my favourite hobby. I sailed since I was eight years old, and now, since a few years I also teach sailing and swimming.

The club I sail with, is not that big. It only has 200 member. That’s what makes it so fun to be there. You know everybody. My best friends, I met there. We’ve got party’s there. Barbecues, night-sailing, in the winter we skate there. It’s the best place to be in the whole world."

Harry was jealous of her. He never had things like that.

He thought about how it would be to have so much friends, a place where you always meet, a place where you always walk around in swimming suits.

When they came to the lake, they saw they were the first.

Ron, Ginny, Penelope, Percy, Hermione and Karlien dived in the water, but Harry just stood there, on the land. The water was deep, he had no gillyweed, he was afraid he would drown, he could swim a little bit, but not in deep water.

Karlien came out, she showed Harry a little stair to get into the water.

She went in first. She was very near to the little stair, and Harry slowly came down. When he hit the water, she grabbed him tight and guided him to a place where he could stand. She let go of him.

Then she showed him how to swim breaststroke. After 15 minutes of trying, he finally managed the keep his head above, even when he was in the deep water.

After half an hour, the others came. They were playing in the water, they were lying in the sun for hours, they were picnicking. Mr Weasley turned a piece of wood, into a small sailboat. Karlien got in, and Harry followed here. She explained a bit about how the boat worked. It was really easy, Harry thought.

Just when the wind came, she was finished with explaining. And the were sailing, it was even better than Harry could have dreamed, it was great. "Woohooooo!!!" Harry yelled, when there was a strong wind.

After sailing a couple of rounds around the lake, they went back, to lay down in the sun.

They lay next to each other, on the same towel. Karlien lay on her back, with her eyes closed for the sun. Harry lay on his side, looking at his girlfriend. "You look so beautiful," he said, "I just can’t get my eyes of you, you look more beautiful than a veela."

At this, she turned around, and she looked at him. She smiled. Harry had never seen her so happy.

"Thank you," she said, "That’s the nicest thing someone ever told me."

She threw herself on Harry. Now she was lying in top of him, her head, above his head. He looked in her beautiful, blue eyes, she looked in his green eyes. And she kissed him. It was the best kiss ever. She felt something becoming hard between her legs, she and Harry had the same size, so where her tummy stopped, Harry’s tummy stopped. She knew what she felt, she was excited too, but that is the advantage of being a girl, you can hardly see or feel it when a girl is excited. Boys have something that always betrayed them. She knew that most boys don’t like that.

They had a wonderful day. Karlien felt as if she was back in Holland, with her friend, on the WSA. Arthur and Molly left for an hour, and came back with a barbecue and meat.

Harry and Ron organised the barbecue. They did it in the muggle way. Because it was more fun to put the coal in it, and try to produce the fire, with an ordinary muggle cigarette lighter, and to blow air in it, to make flames.

When they were finally ready to put the meat on it, everybody cheered for Ron and Harry.

The barbecue was delicious.

During dinner, Karlien whispered in Harry ear: "I told them what to buy for a perfect muggle barbecue, they went to the village nearby, and bought all the stuff in a muggle shop. I gave them some pounds, which I had left from the airfield, when we moved here."

Harry smiled, "That was a good idea of you, I really loved it. Maybe we can take the barbecue to Hogwarts, and ask Dumbledore if we may barbecue. In Hagrid’s garden, or something like that."

"Good idea, let’s ask now." Karlien answered.

She stood up, everybody looked at her.

"I was wondering if we could take the barbecue to Hogwarts this year, we could barbecue with Hagrid, in his garden."

"Of course you can take it with you, it’s yours, remember?" Molly said.

"That’s a really good idea of you, Karlien!" Fred and George screamed.

"Actually it was Harry’s idea." Karlien said.

The next morning, they were woken early by Mrs. Weasley.

"Diagon Alley today, rise and shine!" she said, while she opened the curtains. The light of the sun blinded Harry’s eyes, he was used to dark.

Then he saw Hermione lying and Ron’s tummy, she was still sleeping, he was awake. He gently stroke his hand through her hair. Then she woke up, "What’s they matter honey?" she said, being unable to control a big yawn. "Diagon Alley today, we have to get up early."

Molly looked at them, she knew they were sleeping in the same bed. But she never saw them actually lying like that. She didn’t like the look of her youngest son, in bed with a girl. She turned around and left the room.

"Harry," Ron said," can you please make that privacy-screen?" Every morning, when they woke up, Harry magiced a privacy-screen between the two couples. They couldn’t hear or see the other two.

When he finished the screen, he threw of the duvet, which revealed the morning beauty of Karlien, in her pyjamas. He kissed her, and started to take her pyjamas of. She did the same with him. Harry lay on Karlien, who only wore her bra, and her panties. He only wore his pants. He kissed her, and they turned around. Karlien was lying on top now. He slowly took of her bra, they turned around again. He kissed her breasts, which were beautiful shaped. And she slowly took of his pants. She always loved to play with it. He did the same to her. They were lying like this for a few minutes, kissing. She felt the hard thing between her legs again. Then they got out of bed. And got dressed. This is how their usual wake up looked like. Ron and Hermione always came out of the room, exactly when Harry and Karlien came out. They must have been doing the same, every morning, he thought to himself.

After breakfast, they all prepared to go to Diagon Ally. They only had one problem. That was unfortunately a major problem. Mrs. Weasley had planned to Diagon Alley today, and she thought to get the lists of school supplies yesterday. But they didn’t got them.

Suddenly there was a very large owl, which carried eight envelopes. One for Harry, Ron, Hermione, Angelina, Karlien, Ginny, Fred and George.

Hermione opened hers. There was a note on top of the list which said:

"This year, there will be a new subject for the fifth, sixth and seventh years students. Domestic science. It will replace Divination. If you don’t have Divination, you will have it as an extra subject. Arithmancy, won’t be taught at Hogwarts this year. You will all hear about that later."

"Oh no!" Hermione yelled, "Arithmancy is my favourite subject, but I will have to use a time-turner when I do have it. I guess I can see Domestic science as a replacement of Arithmancy then."

"Domestic science?" Karlien said, "does that mean we are going to learn how to cook, do the dishes, clean up a house and wash dirty clothes? We’re going to learn how to be a housewife!"

"I guess so, but I’m NOT going to learn to be a housewife. I think I will try to be a houseman instead!" Ron said, unable to stop his sudden urge to laugh very loud.

Everybody else laughed too.

They all took a little bit of Floo powder, stepped into the fireplace, and yelled "Diagon Alley"

When everybody had arrived, Harry was shaking all over his body, he hated Floo powder.

Harry, Karlien, Ron and Hermione were on their own. First they went to Gringotts, the wizard bank.

When they came to the Weasley’s safe, Ron almost fainted, there were hundreds of galleons in it. Ron filed his money bag, he carried more money than he ever had. "How did we got that?" He gasped.

"I don’t know." Harry, Hermione and Karlien said at he same time.

Harry knew how they got the money, he gave Fred and George a thousand galleons last year.

Karlien turned out to be just as rich as Harry and Ron.

Harry’s safe looked as if it was just as full as it was when he was here with Hagrid.

"What did your parent do for a living?" Hermione asked Harry.

"I don’t know, I never even thought about it, but it must have been a good job, because I got a lot of money from them." Harry said.

"I know what they did for a living." Karlien said.

"What?!?!" Harry said, "How do you know what my parents did for a living?"

"Do you remember when I said your parents were colleges of my parent? I said that when we met for the first time. Your father was Minister of Magic!"

Harry gasped. "M-m-m-my f-father MOM? What did my mom do?"

"She was your father secretary, but when you were born, she stopped, to take care of you. My father was an English ambassador, in Holland. He visited you’re father very often to discuss things."

Harry thought of what Sirius had said last year when they were talking about Crouch. "When Voldemort disappeared, it looked like a matter of time until Crouch got the top job."

Harry never really thought of that before, but now he did. Why a new minister of magic, why not just the old one? Because the old one was dead when Voldemort disappeared.

After Gringotts they went to Flourish and Blotts to buy their books.

Four times The Standard Book of Spell (grade 5).

Four times Domestic Science, by Molly Weasley.

"By Molly Weasley?!?!?!?! That’s my mom!" Ron yelled.

"I didn’t know your mother wrote a book." Harry said to Ron.

"Neither did I!" Ron said.

"It’s a new book," said the manager, "Just came out last year. Your mother wrote it, Dumbledore asked her to do it. It sells terribly good, I’ve sold over 500 already, I’ve just ordered 700. Not only scholars buys them. Almost every family wants one. It is a real hit, just as Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them. Your mother earns one galleon for every book sold."

So it was not Fred and George’s money, Harry thought.

"That’s how we got all that money in Gringotts!" Ron said.

When they were ready with buying everything, they went back to the Leaky Cauldron.

"Mum!" Ron yelled, "Why didn’t you tell us that we were rich now?"

"Because I wanted to surprise you." She said.

"Well, you did surprise me." Ron said.

"I did? Well, I’ve got an even bigger surprise for you."

She handed Ron, Fred and George a large parcel. Ron opened it first, it was a Nimbus 3001, Fred and George had the same.

"Wow! Mum! I don’t know how to thank you!" Ron said, tears running down his face of happiness.

"You don’t need to thank me." She said.

"Here Ginny, here’s your surprise."

Ginny opened it. It was a moving model of the galaxy in a large glass ball. Astronomy was her favourite subject.

Hermione good a photo album about Ron, there were pictures in it, from Ron’s whole live. Pictures from Ron as a baby, Ron on his first day to school, when he was 5 years old.

"He’s so cute!" She said, looking more than happy.

Harry and Karlien both got a book about Quidditch. Harry’s was a about seekers, and Karlien’s about keepers.

Angelina got a book about chasers.

Everybody was very happy with their presents.
