The hottest Day of the summer so far was coming to a close and a dreary silence fell over the large square houses of Privet Dr, The only person left outside was a teenage boy lying flat on his back in a flowerbed outside number four. Harry Potter had fallen asleep weeding the garden and was in the grasp of a nightmare. "Kill the spare" a cold voice called into the darkness "Advada Kedavra" Harry's eyes snapped open and he bit his lip to keep from screaming. The Dursleys liked peace and screaming would disturb their conferrable quiet lives. "Harry" his aunt called from the house "come inside and get dressed they'll be here soon. And comb your hair" "Yes aunt petunia" Harry replied miserably getting up and stepping into the gleaming kitchen. A delicious smell reached his nose and it made him dizzy with hunger. Mournfully he made his way upstairs to get ready seriously hoping that Dobby wasn't going to pay him a little visit. His uncle would kill him if there was a repeat of the disastrous night with the Masons. Harry got dressed thinking about the strange summer he had been having. His aunt and uncle were being slightly kinder. For what reason he didn't know but it was an improvement. They wouldn't tell him who was coming but they seemed to be important because everyone was over prepared for this dinner. Although he had to admit being over prepared was better then spending the night pretending not to exist. After putting on the most decent outfit he had (Khakis and a Weasley sweater) he went downstairs. "Petunia what are you saying!" Vernon cried angrily. Harry hid in a corner in the hallway and listened "Quiet! You know bloody well what I'm saying Vernon. I'm not doing it anymore," Petunia whispered frustrated "But you hated them," Vernon whined. Harry moved closer "I only began to hate her the year before she graduated. You could say we had a fight because of my jealousy," Petunia said. Vernon exploded "JEALOSE! Of what. She was a freak!" Petunia scowled "Don't you dare call her that. She was a good person with a few extra..powers. And what's the use of fighting it he is what he is. Treating him like shit wont make a difference if he's magic or not!" Vernon watched her for a moment pondering what she'd said. "Alright. But I won't allow any.funny stuff around here." Petunia eyes misted a bit "Maybe we'll finally find out.w-what happened to Lily they-they wouldn't tell us." Harry was so shocked he tripped and fell face first into the living room. Right in front of his aunt and uncle. "Harry!" Harry stood up "I know what happened to them Aunt Petunia. I heard them.Two years ago and I saw them last year." He blurted out. His uncle looked at him as if he were crazy and his aunt paled. "We'll talk later okay?" Harry nodded just as the doorbell rung "That's them Vernon get he door. DUDLEY GET IN HERE!" Dudley bounded down the stairs causing the whole house to shake. He knocked Harry to the floor as he jumped the last steep causing the house to give a particularly violent shake. "Young man," Dudley turned to his mom. "What?" He asked "You ran into Harry and I want you to apologize." Three sets of jaws dropped. "But Mom I don't want to." Dudley whined. Vernon's face turned purple. "You'll do as your mother says!" Dudley folded his arms and spit into Harry's face before running upstairs. There was another knock on the door. Vernon opened the door. Two elderly people stepped in greeting Harry's uncle warmly and embracing His aunt. Harry followed tem into the parlor and sat down. The woman looked Harry up and down. "You're not Dudley which means you must be Harry!' She exclaimed happily giving him a quick hug and sitting down. "Looks so much like James except... for his..." "Eyes. I have my mum's eyes." She smiled at him before turning and starting a conversation with Vernon and petunia. The older man entered the conversation occasionally but his green eyes were fixed on Harry for most of the night. It gave Harry an eerie feeling. A million questions buzzed around his head who were these people and how did they know about his parents? At around twelve Harry excused himself and went to bed. He woke up an hour later screaming. There were footsteps and the woman burst through the door followed by the man, his aunt, and uncle. The woman sat down beside him and wrapped an arm around his shaking sobbing body. Kissing his forehead she asked him what had happened. He told them about the dream and they stood there shocked. "Harry were did those awful dreams come from?" His aunt asked. He told them about his first four years at Hogwarts. They were aghast at what Harry had been through and comforted him the best they could. One by one they left leaving only Harry and The woman. Harry voiced a question that had been bugging him for quite some time. "How do you know my parents?" A grin crept onto the woman's weathered face, "Petunia never told you?" "Told me what?" The woman's grin widened "Do you know your mothers maiden name?" Harry shook his head "It was Evans" Harry looked at her in confusion. "So?" The woman leaned over and whispered in his ear "Hello Harry, my name is Caroline Evans; I'm your grandmother." Harry stared at her for a minute before his eyes rolled into his head and he fell backwards. She caught him and laid him on the bed, tucking him in. She left closing the door behind her and went downstairs. She found everyone sitting in the parlor sipping strong drinks. "Well he knows," she announced. Vernon dropped his brandy and petunia had a panicked look on his face. "How-How'd he take it?" Mr. Evans asked. Mrs. Evans shrugged "We'll see tomorrow the news made him pass out." Petunia shook her head "Poor Boy. I never knew; if I had maybe.I could have helped him." Mrs. Evans said, Petunia fell into deep thought. "Maybe" she said "we can. I have an idea for the perfect thing to cheer him up. But we'll need a lot of help."
