Harry Potter and the One he Needs Most
Chapter 1: At the Dursley's
Harry Potter was laying on his bed staring up at the ceiling. Why does every thing happen to me? He thought. Voldemort, the Sorcerer's Stone, the Chamber of Secrets, Cedric's Death, and now Sirius's death. I can't believe Sirius is dead! He was the last person in the world that I could actually call family. Now, he's gone because of his bloody cousin Bellatrix Lestrang. I'm gonna kill her! As you already may know, Harry Potter is no average 16 year old boy. Not even by wizard standards is he anywhere near normal. He has endured in his last six years, more than most wizards endure in a life time.
"Boy! If you don't come down this instance, I'll lock you in that room of yours for a week!"
Harry heard the piggish voice of his Uncle Vernon and slowly got out of bed. He felt weak but still walked down the steps.
"Quickly make some bacon and eggs. Then get the paper. We are in a rush because we must take Dudikins to Pierce's house for a party!" cried Aunt Petunia from the living room.
"I'm going, I'm going." Harry replied. He looked up to the clock on the microwave to see the time. 7:55. who ever heard of a party this early?!? Must be some vandalizing plan his gang is doing.
Harry placed 5 strips of bacon on the skillet and watched them simmer. It reminded him of Sirius falling through the veil so he looked away. I really need to see my friends soon. It's been a week and a half since I saw them at Kings Cross. I'll owl them after the Dursleys leave. Harry sighed and flipped the pieces of bacon over...
"We're leaving! No doing you no what and none of your kind are allowed in this house. Also, don't touch any of our stuff, and stay in your room!" yelled Uncle Vernon as he stepped out of the door.
Harry went up to his room and listened to the Dursley's car leave the drive way, and drive off. Finally, thought Harry as got out a piece of parchment and a quill. He then began writing his letter.
Ron,
How you doing mate? Life here sucks! I'm so bored here! When can I come over to the Burrow? I can tell that Fudge has finally come round to the truth about Voldemort's return! Lol. With all of the commotion in the Daily Prophet, it looks like he'll be sacked! (For good reason too) I wonder who will be the next Minister of Magic. Maybe your dad will! Please write back and tell Hermione to do the same!
Your mate, Harry
PS. Please get me out of here as soon as possible!
Harry put the letter into an envelope and walked over to Hedwig (his owl)
"Give this to Ron, O.K.? stay there until he writes back!" Hedwig hooted and nibbled his finger in an affectionate way and flew out the window.
Harry sat on his bed and to his surprise, he saw Pig (Ron's owl) tapping on his window. Harry quickly let him in and the owl basically fell over in haste to get his letter to Harry. He took the letter from the owl's leg and began to read.
Harry,
Hope the Dursley's aren't treating you too badly. (probably are though) Just wanted to let you know that Sirius's death wasn't y our fault. He hated when people said this. Sirius was just cooped up in his house for so many months that he just needed to get out. Anyway, mom and Dumbledore say that it's alright if you stay with us but we'll have to stay at 12 Grimuald Place. I know that it'll be hard to stay there but it's safer than the Burrow. We'll pick you up at 9:00 today. Can't wait to see you mate!
Your mate, Ron
Harry couldn't believe what he read. They'll be here in a half hour! He quickly got up and started to pack his stuff. Dumping all of his books, and clothes, and finally Hedwig's cage, he locked up his trunk and waited for the Ron and the rest of the Weasleys.
