  • Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
    FADE IN EXT. - LITTLE WHINGING - NIGHT It is sunset. We drift through the clouds, approaching NUMBER FOUR, PRIVET DRIVE. We sail over the roof of NUMBER FOUR and continue on past it into the street. We drift down into an abandoned playground. A lone figure sits on the only unbroken swing.. It is HARRY POTTER. He appears deep in thought. Had he been watching more carefully, he would have seen the old MRS. FIGG watching him from her front porch. MRS. FIGG adjusts her porch chair in order to watch Harry better. The sound of harsh laughter reaches Harry's ears. He looks up. Dudley and his gang of followers are walking down the street, telling crude jokes and laughing. They ignore Harry and continue on out of sight. Harry gets to his feet and follows them. EXT. STREET - NIGHT Harry rounds the corner, only to find himself surrounded by Dudley's gang. DUDLEY Oh, it's you. GANG THUG #1 What should we do with him, Big D? Harry laughs. HARRY Big D? Cool name, but to me, you'll always be Ikkle Duddicums. DUDLEY Shut up! One of Dudley's gang steps in as if to punch Harry. Harry glares at him. The gang member pauses, then steps back again. DUDLEY Ooo, tough guy. Not so tough in your bed, are you? 2. HARRY What? MRS. FIGG stands up and goes to the edge of her porch. MRS. FIGG You boys go home now, or I'll be calling your parents! They pause and edge away from Harry.

  • Blaze of Glory
    Blaze of Glory Monday Morning Harry awoke with a start, his hand instinctively going for his wand. He gasped for air as the nightmare slowly released him, leaving him staring at the onrushing dawn. He knew he shouldn’t have slept outside but he couldn’t resist the feeling of freedom one last time. When he went downstairs he would no longer be Harry, whimsical wizard with hopes and dreams; he’d be Harry Potter – The Boy Who Lived, a member of the Order of the Phoenix and the person who had the sole responsibility for defeating Lord Voldemort. He unrolled the Invisibility Cloak he’d been using as a pillow and slowly donned it. The urge to stay was overwhelming, to just watch the dawn and let the rest of the world look after itself. But he couldn’t; a pair of magical brown eyes drew him to his destiny. They showed him his hopes and dreams, and what could have been whilst pulling him to his death. "Where have you been?" Hermione, one of his two best friends asked. "Never mind," she interrupted before he could speak. "I’ve got your clothes here." "Thanks," was Harry’s quiet reply. As Harry walked along the empty hall way, his mind flew back to how this had all started. "Hey Harry, I need some help for a project." Wild hair flew around a pale face as Ginny Weasley came to a hurried stop in front of him. Harry looked up, his face carefully schooled in the friendly-but-nothing-more gaze he always used with her.

  • Second Time Around
    Second Time Around Ginny Potter was sitting with her back to a concrete barrier, idly transfiguring bits of the ground around her into steel balls. She lined each one up carefully on the level surface above her head. Harry Potter was watching her with a gentle smile, admiring the graceful movements the twenty year old witch was making. His eyes wandered down her body, before fixing on her chest, enjoying the way the material of her Muggle t-shirt accentuated, then hid, her endowments. "What do you think it will be like?" Ginny asked casually. "Strange," Harry replied thoughtfully. "Very strange." "It will be good to see Mum and Dad again, and Bill, Charlie, and Fred." Harry smiled his agreement. "I can't say the same about the Dursleys." Ginny frowned, slight lines creasing the smooth skin of her forehead. "Will you be ok?" "Yeah. I'll be fine; it should only be for a couple of weeks, before Hagrid drops in. Besides, I've been learning these martial arts for a reason. I'll never be going back anyway." "Ready?" Ginny asked, as she finished her transfiguration. Harry nodded. "On three. One! Two! Three!" They both jumped to their feet and spun 180 degrees. Harry pointed with both his fists, white bolts of light and energy burst from them, like a Muggle laser gun, killing anyone unlucky enough to be caught by one of the bolts. Ginny, her wand in her right hand, Harry's in her left, wordlessly cast the same spell over and over again. The steel balls she had created went from a standing start to travelling at 300ft a second in a quarter of an inch.
