"BOY get down here!" Uncle Vernon yelled and Harry groaned as he made his way downstairs wearing one of Dudley's old suits; he hated the thing, the collar made his neck itch, but he bit his tongue as he made his way downstairs. The last thing he wanted was to be stuck having dinner with these Johnson's whoever they were, but his Uncle hoped to form a merger between the Johnson's company and his own firm Gunning's and had decided that Harry needed to dine with them, to show support for Dudley, who they hoped to set up with the Johnson's daughter. Harry knew it wasn't really about supporting Dudley, but about making Harry feel jealous since Dudley would have a date and he wouldn't. Harry was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard the doorbell ring. He opened the door and his eyes widened; standing there was a sallow-faced black man in his thirties, and a woman who also appeared in her thirties. However, what surprised him most was the girl standing in between them, for standing there in a red dress with her hair pulled into a bun, was none other than his fellow Gryffindor and Quidditch teammate Angelina Johnson. Harry realized he'd been standing there for too long and ushered them in, offering his arm to Angelina before walking into the dining room. He pulled out her chair and allowed her to sit down before walking to his seat next to Dudley who couldn't seem to stop staring at Angelina. Harry had to admit, she really was quite lovely, and he wondered why he had failed to notice it before. Angelina smiled at him and Harry felt his heart beat a bit faster as he returned her smile with his own. Dinner was served and Mr. Johnson and Uncle Vernon talked about their merger while Mrs. Johnson and Aunt Petunia talked about the latest celebrity scandal; Harry wanted to talk to Angelina, but Dudley kept flirting with her, showing her his muscles, which made Harry want to gag. As they went through dinner and desert Harry felt his anger rise as he saw how much Dudley's flirting was irritating Angelina. They had just finished desert and were about to get coffee when Dudley proceeded to put his hand on Angelina's butt. She yelled, causing everyone to turn their heads and Mr. Johnson went over to get Dudley off Angelina, but Harry was faster pulling his wand from the pocket of his suit and placing it at Dudley's neck. Dudley's piggy eyes widened in fear as he looked at Harry furious face.
"Let her go, and if you come near her again I swear I will hex you into the next century" he said, fury resonating in every syllable. Dudley let Angelina go, who ran to her father who pulled her into his arms.
"Vernon be glad I don't have your son arrested. I promise you will never see any business from me or my company" he said as he proceeded to grab his coat and walk towards the door. Angelina whispered something to her father who nodded before beckoning to Harry.
"Mr. Potter, if you like you are more than welcome to stay with us for the remainder of the summer" and Harry nodded before rushing upstairs to get his trunk. In ten minutes, ignoring Uncle Vernon's protests Harry walked out the door, feeling happier than he had for days.
