"Harry, Harry! Get up this instant!" 15 year old Harry Potter awoke with a start from bed in his small bedroom. Aunt Petunia pounded on the door. "Y..yes Aunt Petunia?" He said as he opened the door, and found his aunt standing with a sneer on her ugly face, wearing a long velvet maroon dress. "Did you forget that we were having company, boy? I need you to eat so I can finish up cleaning downstairs," Aunt Petunia said with a scowl as she went down the stairs. Harry sighed as he followed his aunt down the stairs.

Today was going to be such a bad day, he could feel it. Suddenly the door bell rang. Harry could hear the TV being switched off and Uncle Vernon saying, "Hello, my old friend!"
