It was almost September 1st and Harry was getting anxious to go back to Hogwarts. He missed his friends, quidditch and being able to do magic but most of all he missed Hermione. He hadn't heard from her all summer. He wondered why she hadn't bothered to send him at least one owl. She had even missed his birthday. Ron on the other hand sent him an owl every other day. He lay awake in bed thinking about Hermione when he fell asleep. That night he dreamed about being back at Hogwarts and being with Hermione. Next thing he knew he was being awaken by someone or something poking him. He opened his eyes and looked around. Sitting on his stomach was a snowy white owl.
"Hedwig." Harry said looking at the bird. Then he looked at her foot. There were 2 rolls of parchment tied to it. Harry took them off and Hedwig flew to her cage which was sitting on his desk. Harry opened the first letter and read:
Dear Harry:
I'm really sorry I haven't written all summer. I've been very busy. How are you? I hope you're doing okay. Me and Ron (And his family) are meeting in Diagon Alley next week to get our books. Maybe we can meet you there? I really do hope so Harry. Send an owl to Ron letting him know. I'm sorry this is so short but I really must go. Love from Hermione
Harry turned it over but there was nothing there. That was it? He asked himself. Disappointed he picked up the other envelope. He looked at the front and saw that the address was written in emerald green writing. He opened it and found the usual note from McGonagall and a list of books he'd be needing that year. He looked out the window. It was still dark. He lay back on his bed and fell asleep.
In the morning he woke up and went downstairs to find Aunt Petunia already making breakfast. "Aunt Petunia er... would it be okay if I went to meet some friends next week to get er... school stuff?"
His aunt just looked at him and then back at the breakfast she was making. "Ask your uncle." Harry sighed and went to find his uncle. He found him in the other room watching the morning news. "Uncle Vernon can I go to meet some friends next week to get..." he paused, "School stuff."
"Do you think I'm going to give you money to buy stuff for that school of yours? If you do boy you're sadly mistaken." his uncle answered.
"I don't need your money. Can I just go?" Harry was starting to get angry. He didn't need their worthless money. He had his own money. More money than Uncle Vernon had.
"Are you planning on robbing a bank?"
"No." was all Harry said.
"You're not going. You haven't got any money so what's the point? I'm not going to let you go meet your friends."
"I have money." Harry answered. He could feel his face turning red with fury.
"Don't lie to me boy. I'd know if you had money unless you've been stealing it."
"I have more money than you'll ever have. From my mother and father. And I'm going weither you give me permission or not. I don't give a damn what you say anymore." Harry yelled and turned to go back upstairs.
He had told Uncle Vernon about the money sitting in Gringotts. Surely he wouldn't be able to get to it though. Harry grabbed some ink and parchment and scribbled a quick note to Ron.
Dear Ron: I need to get out of this place. I'm coming to your place today as soon as I pack all my things. Harry
He rolled up the parchment and tied it to Hedwigs leg. "Take this to Ron and stay there. I'll be there as soon as I figure out how I'm going to get there." He told her. She hooted in agreement and flew out the open window. Harry turned to his room and started throwing things randomly in his trunk. After he'd put everything he owned into his trunk he grabbed his wand, he walked out his bedroom door and went down the stairs. He opened the front door when Uncle Vernon stopped him.
"Where exactly do you think you're going?"
"Ron's." Harry answered and turned back to the door.
"And how are you going to get there?" Vernon asked.
"Don't know." Harry answered as Aunt Petunia walked into the hallway.
"Well good luck to you. Maybe you'll get yourself killed." Vernon said angrily and started to go back to watch television.
"Vernon, we can't let him go. Or we could take him." Petunia said looking from Vernon to Harry. Harry was shocked but glad because he didn't have the slightest clue how he was going to get to Ron's.
"Take him? Petunia you can't be serious." Vernon said glaring at Harry.
"I'm serious. We'll take him to this..." She paused and looked at Harry for an answer.
"Ron's house?" Harry said.
"Yes, we'll take him to Ron's house. And he can stay with them for the rest of the summer. Otherwise we'll have to take him to Diagon Alley ourselves Vernon." She said and Harry looked at her.
"How do you know about Diagon Alley." he asked and then looked at Vernon who looked rather confused.
"Your mother is my sister, Harry. I went with my parents and her there her first year at that...school." she answered and looked back at Vernon, "So we'll take him to...Ron's?" "Yes." Was all Vernon could say. He motioned for Harry to lead the way to the car and left Dudley sitting in front of the TV. Harry didn't think he'd even notice they'd left. They all got into the car and Vernon backed out of the driveway. "And where does this...Ron live?" He asked and Harry gave him directions until they pulled into a long dirt driveway that lead to a very tall, lopsided house. "THIS is Ron's house?"
"Er...yup." Harry answered smiling. Uncle Vernon stopped the car but Harry already had the door open. He jumped out and looked back at Vernon and Petunia. "See ya next summer." He said and slammed the door walking towards The Burrow. He knocked on the door and waited. It opened and he saw Ron standing there.
"Harry!" Ron said and Fred and George came running up behind him.
"Hiya Harry." One of them said and Harry smiled and said hi. Ron looked at the car pulling out of his drive way and then back at Harry.
"The muggles brought you?" He asked.
"Yeah, my aunt made my uncle. I was coming anyway. Did Hedwig get here yet?" he asked.
"Nope." Ron answered. "Come in, Hermione's here."
"She is? I've only got one owl from her all summer!" Harry said and walked in past Ron. He saw Hermione sitting on the floor with Ginny. "Hermione."
Hermione looked up and saw Harry. She got up and ran to him and hugged him. "Hi Harry!"
"Hi. I haven't heard from you all summer except last night." he answered and went to kiss her but she backed away. Harry looked at her confused and then shrugged.
Hermione looked away, "Yeah sorry. I've been really busy." she said and sat back down out of Harry's reach. Harry didn't pay much attention to this. He was back in The Burrow again. The rest of the summer was going to be great.
He and Ron took his things up the stairs and into Ron's bedroom. "Hermione's acting really weird." Harry said and Ron looked away. "What?" Harry asked.
"Nothing." Ron said, "Let's go back downstairs." he said walking towards the door. Harry wasn't sure what was going on but he followed. Fred and George were sitting at the table eating lunch. Mrs. Weasley heard them come in.
"Ron dear, your lunch is sitting on the table." She said without looking at them.
"Mum, is there enough for Harry too?" Ron asked. Mrs. Weasley spun around and looked across the room.
"Harry! When did you get here dear?" She asked and looked at Fred and George without letting Harry answer, "You boys didn't have anything do to with it did you?" She asked.
"No. Honestly you think we do everything around here." Fred said smiling. Mrs. Weasley turned back to Harry.
"My aunt and uncle brought me." He answered.
"That was nice of them." she answered.
"Not really. They just wanted to get rid of me." Harry answered but he was smiling. He looked into the other room and saw Hermione sitting there. He needed to talk to her really bad.
"Sit down Harry. I'll make you something real quick. You're probably starving." Mrs. Weasley said and Harry sat wishing he could talk to Hermione.
After lunch Ron and the twins asked Harry if he wanted to go play quidditch. Harry agreed even though he would rather talk to Hermione. Harry wasn't paying attention because he was thinking and got hit in the head with an apple. (They were throwing apples to each other because they couldn't use real balls in case they got loose and muggles saw them.) He fell off his broom and landed hard on the ground. Before he could get back up everything went black.
Harry opened his eyes hours later and looked around. He was laying in Ron's bed and couldn't figure out why. He sat up and looked around. No one was there. He got up, walked out the door and down the stairs. Ron was sitting at the table and looked up when Harry entered.
"Harry, are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, what happened?"
"You got hit with an apple and fell off your broom. You've been out for at least 5 hours. Everyone else is sleeping." Ron answered as he got up. "I'm gonna go to bed now too. You coming?" he asked.
"Yeah." Harry answered and followed Ron up the stairs. They passed Fred and George's room and Harry heard a strange noise. The door was slightly open so he looked inside. He saw one of the twins sitting on his bed kissing someone. He pushed the door open a little more too see and to his surprise he saw Hermione. "Hermione" He said making her jump. She stood up so quickly she knocked, who Harry saw was George, onto the floor. She looked at Harry and then back at George and then burst into tears. She put her hands to her face and ran out of the room knocking Harry into the door. Ron looked at Harry and shrugged. Harry looked at George who was still on the floor and turned around and followed Ron up the stairs.
In Ron's bedroom Harry was throwing a fit. "What's your brother doing with my girlfriend? And how could she do that to me? Ron have you known about this?"
Ron jumped, "No, I swear. I thought they were just friends. She's been spending a lot of time with him though." This just made Harry angrier.
"I should have stayed with my aunt and uncle. I should just go there now and stay there. Forget Hogwarts. I belong in the muggle world anyway." Harry started but Ron interrupted him.
"No you don't Harry. They'll both come to their senses. Maybe Hermione just missed you so much she couldn't help herself."
"But I'm here now." Harry said and turned and looked out the door and down the hall. He saw Hermione walking slowly up the stairs towards Ron's bedroom. He glared at her and waited for her to get closer to the door. When she was about to say something, he slammed the door in her face.
"Harry!" Ron said and ran to the door. He opened it and saw Hermione running back down the stairs, her hands covering her eyes. "Hermione wait." he said and ran after her. Harry was left alone. He sat on Ron's bed. He couldn't believe this. This is why Hermione hadn't written him all summer. She wasn't busy at all. She's been here all summer and he'd been stuck at the Dursley's as usual.
He got up, grabbed all his things and ran down the stairs, hoping Ron and Hermione weren't down there. He looked around. No one was there. He went to the fire place and grabbed some flu powder. "Number 4 Privet Drive" he said. He landed stuck as he knew he would. He found his wand and blasted through the rock. He heard Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia and Dudley hurrying down the stairs.
"What have you done boy?" Vernon said. "I'll fix it." Harry said and turned his wand to the broken mess. In an instant it was all fixed.
"You're not allowed to do magic outside of school. What are you doing here anyway?"
"I don't care. Here you take this." he said handing Vernon his wand. Vernon stood there looking confused. "I won't be needing it anymore. I'm not going back." Without looking back he ran up the stairs and slammed his bedroom door shut. He sat on his bed and kicked the floor. He stood up and went to his desk and threw everything off onto the floor. Then something came flying through his window and hit him in the head. He jerked his head around and saw Pigwidgeon, Ron's owl flying around his head.
"Go away. I don't want whatever you have." Harry said but the owl didn't leave but flew at Harry's head. Harry ducked and sighed. "Fine, give me it." Pigwidgeon flew at him and stopped in midair. Harry untied the parchment tied to it's foot and it flew out the window. Harry watched until it was gone. Then he looked at the parchment in his hand. He threw it on his desk and went to lay on his bed. Before he got there, another owl came flying in his room. This one he'd never seen before. He untied the parchment and opened it:
Dear Mr. Potter We have received intelligence that you performed magic illegally in front of muggles. You have broken the Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery. Please send an owl letting us know why you did this.
Misuse of Magic Office
Harry looked for a piece of parchment and scribbled as quickly as he could:
Because. Break my wand in half, I don't care I'm not going back to Hogwarts anyways. I've already given my wand to my uncle. -H. Potter
Before he had tied the note to the owl another owl came flying through his window. Harry finished tying the note and the owl flew away. He turned to the other owl and took the note:
Dear Harry:
I'm so sorry Harry. I really never meant to hurt you. Please come back so we can talk about this. Love Hermione
Harry looked at the note for one more second before tearing it to shreds. "I'm not coming back, ever." Before he could get back to his bed another owl came flying in the window. "I'm sick of all these owls. Go away." He said but the owl didn't leave. Harry tried to ignore it but it started pecking him with his beak. "Fine! I'll take it." he said and the owl stuck its foot out at him. He took the letter and threw it on the floor. The owl continued to peck him. "FINE!" he said opening the letter.
Harry:
I've received information about you breaking the Underage Wizard Decree and that you took off from the Weasleys. Someone will be there shortly to collect you so please have all your things packed and ready to go. Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore
Someone's coming to collect me? What? He thought. I'm not going back. I'll just send them away. He walked out his bedroom door and went back down the stairs. To his surprise he saw his aunt and uncle sitting in the living room. "Er..." he said so they knew he was there.
Uncle Vernon picked up Harry's wand and handed it back to him. "Here. You take this."
"I don't want it."
"Take it Harry." His aunt said and looked at the floor. Harry saw some red bits of paper lying there. She'd been sent another howler. Harry looked back at his hand and took his wand from his uncle.
"Er... I got this letter from Dumbledore. I guess someone's coming for me." Harry said and shrugged.
"Dumbledore?" Vernon asked.
"Harry's headmaster." Petunia said. Harry was shocked but then again that wasn't the only thing his aunt knew that shocked him. Then there was a knock on the door.
"Er...I'll get it." Harry said and went to answer the door. He opened it and saw a girl standing there with black hair, blue eyes and she was wearing a skirt and a tank top. "Er...hi."
"Hi, I'm Haylee."
"I'm Harry."
"I know. Dumbledore sent me. It's my assignment to get into Hogwarts. See I'm almost a squib but recently I've been showing signs that there might really be some magic in me." She said smiling.
"Oh. Er...okay." Harry said and looked at the ground. He couldn't just send her away. She was beautiful. He looked into her eyes and she turned away. Her eyes were the most beautiful blue he'd ever seen. "I don't get why you're here."
"I'm suppose to bring you to Hogwarts. Here." She said handing him his Firebolt.
"Hey, how'd you get that?" Harry asked. She didn't answer, she only shrugged. Then she walked to the side of the house and motioned for Harry to follow. He did and to his surprise he found Reamus Lupin leaning against the wall of his aunt and uncle's hose.
"Professor Lupin!" Harry yelled.
"Harry, I'm not a professor anymore. I'm glad to see you're alright. Ron and Hermione were really upset when I was at the Weasleys."
"Right, I'm sure she was." Harry said and looked back at the door. "Look, I'm not going back to Hogwarts. So you can just leave now."
"Oh Harry. Please no! The only way I can go to Hogwarts is if I succeed!" Haylee begged. Harry looked at her sad eyes. He couldn't say no.
"Fine, but I'll be a Slytherin or something. I can't be anywhere near Hermione."
"Who's Hermione?"
"No one." He said and mounted his broom. Lupin did the same and flew off, followed by Harry. Haylee had no choice, she mounted her own and followed them into the black sky.
They arrived at Hogwarts a few hours later. Haylee ran to Dumbledore's office. "I did it! I did it!" She was yelling, smiling. Harry couldn't help but smile as he watched how happy she was.
"Hedwig." Harry said looking at the bird. Then he looked at her foot. There were 2 rolls of parchment tied to it. Harry took them off and Hedwig flew to her cage which was sitting on his desk. Harry opened the first letter and read:

"I'm suppose to bring you to Hogwarts. Here." She said handing him his Firebolt.
"Hey, how'd you get that?" Harry asked. She didn't answer, she only shrugged. Then she walked to the side of the house and motioned for Harry to follow. He did and to his surprise he found Reamus Lupin leaning against the wall of his aunt and uncle's hose.
"Professor Lupin!" Harry yelled.
"Harry, I'm not a professor anymore. I'm glad to see you're alright. Ron and Hermione were really upset when I was at the Weasleys."
"Right, I'm sure she was." Harry said and looked back at the door. "Look, I'm not going back to Hogwarts. So you can just leave now."
"Oh Harry. Please no! The only way I can go to Hogwarts is if I succeed!" Haylee begged. Harry looked at her sad eyes. He couldn't say no.
"Fine, but I'll be a Slytherin or something. I can't be anywhere near Hermione."
"Who's Hermione?"
"No one." He said and mounted his broom. Lupin did the same and flew off, followed by Harry. Haylee had no choice, she mounted her own and followed them into the black sky.
They arrived at Hogwarts a few hours later. Haylee ran to Dumbledore's office. "I did it! I did it!" She was yelling, smiling. Harry couldn't help but smile as he watched how happy she was.
