The Invitation
After his most recent battle against the Dark Lord, Voldemort, Harry Potter returns to his aunt and uncle's house for the summer. Harry is ready to spend another summer locked in his cupboard under the stairs. Not one week after returning to the Dursley's home, Harry receives an owl stating that he is invited to the Weasley-Dealocour wedding. It reads: Harry Potter,
You are cordially invited to Bill's wedding and you may stay at the Burrow until school resumes in the fall. Please write back to us to let us know of your attendance.
Love,
Mrs. Weasley
Harry wants to go but he doesn't think that the Dursleys will let him go because they don't like wizards. He begged and begged his aunt and uncle but they still wouldn't let him go.
"But why not Uncle Vernon I won't be around you for the entire summer. You won't have to worry about me using magic or getting myself into any other trouble." Harry pleaded to his uncle.
"No boy, you will not go to this wedding. You know that I don't like your kind and especially don't like your kind when they are all gathered together in one location." His uncle raged at him.
"Oh all right fine I won't go to the wedding but if I'm here, you guys are more at risk of being killed by Voldemort. But when he comes and kills you in your sleep it will be your fault and not mine." Harry fumed.
Harry returned to his room and began to silently pack his trunk and other Hogwarts materials. His aunt walks in on him and she notices that he was packing.
"Where do you think you're going boy? You aren't going to that wedding you were invited to, are you?" His aunt Petunia asked.
"No" Harry lied "I wanted to be ready to go back to school early because it will be my last year there." Harry made up the excuse right there.
"Vernon, Vernon where are you?" Petunia yelled throughout the whole house. "Vernon the boy is preparing to go to the wedding. I just know it!"
"Petunia, how do you know?''
"Well, it was quiet in his room so I went up to check and I found him packing his trunk. He told me he was getting ready to go to school early, but I know better that to believe that rubbish."
