Unusually Unusual

Chapter 1

Harry my boy, getup dear….Get up my angel…’
Harry woke up with a start. It can’t be..He was dreaming it for sure.He pinched himself hard..
‘Ouch!!’ reacting to his own pinch he realized that he was not dreaming after all.
‘Harry……darling come out’
No its not any mistake. This was aunt petunia’s voice, but what on the earth is aunt petunia calling him in such a lovely way for? Has she been imperiused ? Or has Sirius sent an message, but Sirius promised him he wouldn’t do such a thing which might lead to his danger.
He came out. Before he can realize aunt petunia gave him a tight hug. Uncle Vernon was waving and smiling at him.
‘I’m Harry…Harry Potter….not Dudley..’
‘Of course we know that..You are our nephew Harry…but you are like Duddley to us no different.’
No there was something very wrong…..Suddenly after 14 years of torture why are the Dursleys behaving in this way?
‘what would you like to have for breakfast?’ asked aunt petunia with a smile
‘I just wish to go out’ said a perplexed Harry.
Harry rushes off to the garden ignoring his aunt’s repeated calls. He sat upright on the garden bench and was staring at the hedge and the hedge was staring back at him. Two enormous green eye has appeared among the leaves. He felt a dejavu.
Slowly it stepped out from the hedge and harry stood transfixed.
‘Harry Potter sir! Dobby greets Harry potter good day!!’
‘Dobby you are here? You have done something to the Dursleys?’ 
‘Dobby didn’t mean any harm sir. Dobby saw how badly great Harry Potter sir is treated sir. Dobby wanted them to behave nicely sir.’ 
‘Just say what have you done. You performed magic outside school. I’ll be expelled .’
‘Oh no no Dobby will not do such harm Harry Potter sir. It’s a special charm that only us knows. We can do magic that the ministry will never know.’
‘I don’t want to know anything. Just reverse whatever you have done. I don’t need their love nor their care. At least not with magic. Do you get that?’
Dobby ran towards the garden bench and started hitting himself. Harry quickly pulled him.
‘What happened ? ‘
‘Dobby has used a long time enchantment on Harry potter’s uncle , aunt and cousin. It cant be countered.’
‘What the HELL are you saying Dobby? Why you do such things?’
Dobby was quiet. Big teardrops fell from his eyes. Harry felt bad for him. He knew Dobby had done it for him to be happy. How he wish Dobby would understand that he didn’t want this. He was happy with all relations he grew in his world. He didn’t need the Dursleys fake love. This will never makeup for what he bore for the 14 years, and moreover getting love under magic has produced great harm once to the whole world. Not that this was similar to it but they are connected in a way no one can disagree. 
He thought of sending owl to Ron and Hermione at once but then he thought he didn’t even want to wait for that long. He knew what he had to do now.
‘Dobby listen though I am no one to give you any order but still I wish that you go to my friend Ron and Hermione’s house and inform them about this, and listen Hermione lives with muggle parents and probably there will be lot of other muggles around. Beware of what you do.’
‘Dobby will be pleased to serve Harry Potter. Dobby will do what he says.’
Saying so Dobby vanished on spot….Harry sat thinking…He planned that if he quietly went up to his room and locked himself in he can avoid the Dursleys till he gets some reply back….Hermione will obviously look up for all possible ways to counter or lower the effect…Ron might say “Enjoy it Dude.. Serves them right.” Nothing has changed much .He wanted to avoid Dursleys before and he still wishes to avoid them now. Only the change of circumstances..He stealthily walked inside and tried to sneak into his room, but something heavy grabbed him from back and he was about to fall somehow it managed..It was Duddley.
‘My brother my brother’, cried Dudley with a smile which made him look like a pig. ‘Come and play with me….Papa has got new computer games.’
‘I’m not interested in muggle games.’
“What? What word did you use? The word is cool!!!
Harry first time heard a muggle, loving the word ‘muggle’. Not that he had met many muggles who knew this word.
‘See I need to go to my room I have homework to finish.’
“Let me go with you too. I wish to see what you learn.”
Harry was irritated now. He thought of shouting at Duddley if that makes him angry and leave him alone.
‘You filthy muggle…Get Out of my way..Don’t show your dirty face.’
‘I really love that word you are using..Maggle How cool. Wait let me tell my friends.’
Saying so he rushed to the telephone and Harry was relieved. He quickly went to his room and locked himself in.
He found Dobby inside there waiting for him.
‘Dobby has come to tell that none of the two of his friends know about this…Dobby knows sir it’s a lifelong spell..’
‘But…but..’ Harry stammered..’What about Mr.Weasley?’
‘No one knows it.’
At that moment pigwidgeon flew in with Ron’s letter.
Dear Harry,
Sorry to hear about the mess you are in actually not sorry at all. They deserved it and finally you will get some peace. I don’t know why are you making a fuss of it. Its time for tit-for-tat mate. Anyways we are going for Florida’s marriage…Florida..Florida Weasley my cousin. Surely I told you about her…Sorry can’t help you mate.

Lots of love,
Ron.

So there are no ways to run off to the burrow also and Ron’s reply was as expected. Another owl flew in and surely this was from Hermione…..

Dear Harry,
What a terrible thing to happen..Can’t blame Dobby also..He loves you…but don’t worry Harry I’ll look up “Weird spells and charms and its countercurse” but as far as I know this is a highly advanced lifelong charm. Take care Harry.
Lots of love,
Hermione.

If Hermione says it’s a lifelong curse then it is. She knows much more than most of them in her year can even think of. Harry doubts that Hermione will ever find any countercurse in that book. How he wishe he was in Grimauld place now with Sirius. How he was close to this fate and then it got brutally snatched from him for peter Pettigrew.
At that moment Dudley started banging on the door. Harry had no choice but to open or else the door will come crashing down and he obviously didn’t want that…So he opened..
‘Whats up Duddley?’
‘Come come with me.’
He nearly pulled Harry with him along. Downstairs Harry saw that a large birthday cake was present and all heavy Decorations..
Petunia and Vernon along with Harry started singing “Happy Birthday Harry”..which sounded much like donkey’s braying.
Harry had forgotten that it was his birthday today in all this mess. Harry forced a laugh but it didn’t come to him. Uncle Vernon now did something terrible..He had got Harry’s wand in his hand,,Harry didn’t know how..He started waving it furiously around in dance nmoves..At first nothing happened and then suddenly the television table burst in flames….Instead of them being scared Uncle Vernon got excited..
‘Look Petunia its so exciting.’
And then he started swishing again and things started crashing down. Harry didn’t try to stop him as it would go in vain. He knew expulsion is waiting for him
