Red dragon

Harry had a strange feeling when the taxi drove down Private drive and saw the 'for sale' sign outside of number 4. Harry assumed that Dudley had gone to live with his Aunt Marge; he hoped the boy liked it there. He felt guilty for taking the boys' parents from him.

It was very strange not having to go back to the Dursleys ever again; it was a good strange though.

Harry slept in his trunk whilst he was at his Grans. Harry loved Zana but he wasn't fond of other cats trying to climb all over him in the night.

He stayed at Mrs Figgs for three days. Harry enjoyed it with her; he helped her with cooking and cleaning. They played cards, chess and watched TV. She made sure he started his homework but wouldn't let him fly. He was happy with his Gran.

Then at eleven o'clock (everything in the wizard world seemed to happen at eleven) the doorbell rang. Harry was reading The tale of the seven dragon slayers. He was lying on the sofa with Zana curled on his lap and Hedwig preening in the corner of the room.

Mrs Figg opened the door; Three men and a woman were waiting; behind them was a boy.

"Hello Arabella; how's Harry?"

"Come in and See for yourself Professor." Arabella let the small group in.

"Oh hello Professor." Harry placed his book down and stood up.

"Hey little brother!" Oliver Wood reached his head around the group of adults to great the newest member of his family.

"Oliver!"

"The one and only." Oliver told him as he hugged the boy. Harry was quite startled; this hugging was quite out of character for the Keeper.

"Harry this is Leslie and Eleanor Wood." The professor Introduced the couple. "You clearly know Oliver."

"Nice to meet you." Harry smiled; they both looked nice.

Leslie Wood was tall and wide; he had dark hair and the hazel eyes that he had passed on to Oliver. Eleanor was also quite tall with a mid-build; she wasn't skinny but looked nice in that way. She had short blond hair and mysterious looking eyes. Oliver was standing beside them with his Quidditch madness in his eyes.

"Mr and Mrs Wood will be your new guardians Harry." Professor Dumbledore explained to him. "Is that okay?"

"That's great. I will be able to see Gran though right."

"Do you have a floo miss...?" Oliver's mother asked.

"Figg, Mrs. Call me Arabella." She smiled and nodded to the fire place. "Yes, I do."

"There we go Harry." Eleanor answered. "Do you need to say goodbye?"

Harry nodded and threw his arms around his Gran. "See you soon."

"I know Harry. You can visit whenever you like."

"Oliver would you go and get Harrys things. He needs a moment."

"Sure Mom." Oliver was excited to have Harry living with him.

"It's the second on the right Mr Wood." Mrs Figg looked down at Harry. "You'll be happy with them?"

"Probably; I'm almost certain Gran." Harry told her with conviction. Professor Dumbledore and the Auror who came with them nodded.

"I've got his trunk and his Broom." Oliver smiled as he placed the trunk on the floor. "Just some cat stuff up there."

"It's all in the trunk Oliver. Everything else is Grans."

"I breed Kneazle's." Mr Figg stated her explanation for all the cats running around.
