Harry had just sat down with a nice cup of tea, wondering what possessed him to have three kids, but more what made him think he could take the three of them shopping in Diagon Alley without Ginny.
Looking over at a her picture, he smiled remembering why, and also thanking god for Molly Weasley, god's gift to parents and doting grandmother. Not surprised to find Ron and Hermiones kids there, Ron having dropped them off earlier claming he had to work, which Harry thought was strange as he it was suppose to be his day off too. He often wondered how Molly did it having had seven kids of her own, when he found it difficult with three and Ron with two.
Harry unfolded the daily prophet, the few hours peace and quiet until the kids came home again, a least when they did Ginny would be there, she had gone of to interview the Holy Head Harpies new seeker, she always loved visiting her old team, when he heard the distinct pop of someone apparating outside, he hoped it was Ron and not some urgent request for him to go into the office.
When the person knocked Harry feared the worst, "come in" Harry said putting down the paper and looking to the door. To his surprise it was his brother-in-law Percy who came in,
"Hello Harry"
"Percy how many times have we told you, you don't have to knock" said Harry.
"Oh well, I have a letter for you, it came via the muggle post system, one our people who deal with the delivery of letters to muggle born children caught it and passed to the ministry. I was on my way home and thought I would deliver it to you."
Harry took the letter, looked at it and turned it over.
To Harry Potter
Somewhere in the wizarding world
Urgent.
Harry stared bewildered,
"Why would a muggle want to contact you?" Percy enquired, looking confused.
"I don't know" replied Harry, obviously perplexed.
"Well anyway I have to go" Percy said, looking curious and hopeful of answers, receiving no joy, he in the end left.
Harry returned to the letter going back to his chair he flipped the letter over a few times looking for an clue who had sent it, giving up he opened it taking out the single piece of paper within, checking the envelope for any thing else, he opened the letter and read:
Hello Harry
Would you please come and see me one evening please, as soon as possible.
I need to speak to you on a matter of some urgency.
Your Sincerely.
Dudley Dursley
12 Hawthorn Drive
Little Whinging.
"Dudley, what would Dudley want to see me about?"
"What was that dear?" Ginny said as she came through the door, Harry had not even heard her apparate. Looking up at his wife confused "sorry", he apologised.
"Who wants to see you dear?" Ginny enquired.
Shaking his head "Sorry, I just got a letter from my cousin Dudley" he replied.
"Your cousin Dudley Dursley," Ginny asked, wanting clarification. "But what would he want to talk to you about, but better yet how did know where to send the letter" said Ginny looking both confused and angry at the news.
She new about the Dursley's and the way they treated Harry, and how as a child Dudley had picked on Harry and made his life if it was possible, even more miserable.
He explained that Percy had brought the letter, and how it arrived.
"Well are you going to go and see him?" Ginny asked, looking apprehensive.
"I don't know" replied Harry. Unsure.
"Well I think you should" Ginny responded, surprising Harry.
"But, but" stumbled Harry, thinking about the Dursleys and Dudley. The last time he was at 4 Privet drive Dudley had thanked Harry for saving his life the previous year when he and Harry were attacked by two dementors which had tried to administer the dementors kiss on Dudley. Thinking, Harry said again he did not know, looking at his wife he finally said,
"I have to go, don't I, I have to know what would make Dudley contact me after all this time" he admitted reluctantly, ruled by his own natural curiosity. Taking another look at the letter Ginny gave a knowing smile and asked "so when did you drop the kids of with my mum" hoping to lighten the mood.
