Hi :) This is a new little idea, and I hope you like it.
I am not JKRowling, and I dont own Harry Potter.
Please RR, it makes a 16 year old girl from a small village near London smile.
"I've got a girlfriend"
The squealing that coursed through number 4 privet drive that moment was deafening. Petunia Dursley threw her bony hands in the air and threw them around her treasured son. His flabby face was more smug than anything Harry Potter had seen in his 16 year life. He was surprised, though. Whilst Vernon Dursley was thumping his enormous son on the back, Harry was sceptical. How on EARTH did Dudley get himself a girlfriend. Harry had barely kissed a girl, and that was... a disaster. So wet, and not in a good way. But there Dudley was, with a girl.
'Who would even..?', Harry thought. Maybe she was really, REALLY desperate.
"So, when will we meet this young lass? And what's her name?'', Vernon asked.
"She's called Iris. And she's coming round this afternoon."
Another piercing shriek ensued, and off Petunia went to the local Co-op, muttering something about dinner and Diddykins. Those two often went together. Vernon clapped his smirking son on the shoulder once more, and they went into the kitchen together, for a 'well deserved snack'.
Harry was left in the hall feeling shellshocked. After almost a minute of standing there, staring at one of the massive canvases of Dudley's face, he shook his head and ran up the stairs.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
Hi Harry,
Hope you're having a nice Summer, I'm in Greece! It was such a massive surprise getting home, and being told to pack again straight away. I'm in Crete, which is a Greek island. Greece is so amazing, and its really interesting. Loads of very famous muggle philosophers were Greek, and it is where the muggle Olympic Games were founded, in 776 BC, although they were very different back then. But that's so much older than Hogwarts itself!
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to start my summer homework yet. Mum didn't let me bring it! She said, 'You have to relax, Hermione, I cannot be splashing out on the biggest holiday yet, with you just studying through it.' Fair enough, and it has been so lovely just sunbathing and swimming and eating my body weight in ice cream. We're going to be away for another month. Its a very long holiday, but i think my parents want to get away from England for a while, what with everything going on. We're at a beautiful hotel resort at the moment, but in a few weeks we're going to stay with my Aunt and cousins for a couple of weeks, in her holiday home in Kos, which is another Greek Island.
I hope your summer is going well, and I hope to hear back soon. It will probably take quite a long time for my Owl to get to you (her name is Olympia, my parents bought her for me when we got here from a magical market in Heraklion) so she might need a rest and some food, I'm not sure.
Anyway, the beach is calling me. Nope, just my dad. But I've got to go now, so I hope you are staying safe, and that your summer is bearable.

Harry sighed. Well, at least someone was having a good summer. There was nothing from Ron, and nothing from Sirius.
Sirius.
Of course there was nothing from Sirius. He was dead. Harry leaned back on his bed and squeezed his eyes shut. He lay there fro a few long moments, trying not to think about his late godfather, and the veil, and that whole night.
He'd tried contacting Remus, but he had not replied. Harry guessed he was angry with him, and it was his fault. Stop thinking, he told himself.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
"Boy!" His Aunt's shrill voice screeched from downstairs about half an hour later. "Come down and clean the entire house for Dudley's girlfriend."
Without an ounce of grace, Harry pushed himself up off the bed and slumped downstairs. In the hallway he stared at all the pictures of Dudley. They seemed to be mocking him. Shaking his head, he went to the cupboard with the cleaning supplies and begrudgingly started in the kitchen. Whilst doing so, he sneaked a peak in the bags that Petunia was unloading. Woah. There was so much food, it could have fed the whole of Gryffindor house for a week. And it seemed most of it was being prepared for this lunch. There was ham, rolls, crisps, nuts, a ridiculous selection of sandwich fillings, wraps, cheese, bacon, and so much more.
"Get out of the way you stupid boy", Petunia was flapping a pack of Pork Pies at him, so Harry ducked and started to work in the dining room.
A/N : so there we go, my first chapter. Sorry it's a little short, I'll try to make the next ones longer :)
