a/n…I included loads of chapters in this and had to skip a few years in this but hope you guys like it and understand it!
"Stop that awful wailing and be a little grateful" aunt Petunia said to Harry as Uncle Vernon entered the kitchen. "Vernon" aunt Petunia screamed.
"I'm right behind you" uncle Vernon grunted as he sat down on his already sagging chair.
"We've got to enter Dudley and this one to a kindergarten" Petunia said with a bit of disgust at the thought of sending Harry.
"They don't have to go to the same kindergarten" uncle Vernon said picking up the morning paper he had picked up on the way to the kitchen.
"I'll sign Dudley into 'Cute and Smart Kindergarten' and the other one into the Kindergarten around the corner that only has three kids" aunt Petunia said setting a plate in front of Uncle Vernon.
"Mmm..." uncle Vernon said not paying attention.
"Vernon" aunt Petunia screamed, "I want to know what to do with this mistake from my mistake of a sister". Aunt Petunia was mad and uncle Vernon knew that this was no game since she only mentioned her sister when she was angry or frustrated.
"Send the boy to the kindergarten around the corner, we'll be helping the owners by even sending another child there but frankly I think it's perfect because the place is the worst I know" uncle Vernon said raising his Coffee to his mouth and taking a small sip.
"The worst by far" aunt Petunia said getting uncle Vernon's stuff together "No one wants to send their children there".
"Well then it's agreed, I'm sure Dudley will stay a good kid by going to this kindergarten, as for the boy, he won't get any worse hopefully" uncle Vernon ended folding up his newspaper getting up and grabbing his coffee.
Next Chapter
"I'll get him for you" said a worker taking Harry. The car drove down the road to the house, as usual Harry came last to the Dursleys, and they had dropped Dudley first resulting Harry to be late.
Harry could already say a proper sentence, this trait much unappreciated by the Dursleys since Dudley hadn't started until later. Harry got put down and he walked through the small gate, there were three kids there, one had blonde hair he was drawing a color burst, he scribbled all over the paper, when he was done he grinned and clapped his hands together. Another was slightly older he had soft brown hair, he was playing with action figures. The third kid there was the same age as Harry, she had puffy brown hair, she stepped out of the house behind the kindergarten.
Harry went over to a pile of picture books and started looking at the weird flying carpet, he was fascinated, a young teacher came over and asked if Harry wanted to listen to a story, Harry nodded and he gave the book to the teacher.
The girl with the puffy brown haircame over and sat down next to Harry. "Hello Hermione" the teacher said to the girl, "This is Harry" she said introducing them.
"Hi" Harry smiled, "Hi Harry" Hermione said, "Can I listen to the story too?"
The teacher smiled down at Hermione and said "I'm sure you can".
Harry just said "I know it's got something to do with a magic rug".
The teacher called the other two kids over, She introduced the older brown haired one as Ethan and the younger blonde haired one (about the same age as Harry) as James. Harry immediately took liking to these two especially to James, he had heard the name before and in his heart Harry knew that the name held a lot of meaning for him.
As the teacher told the story Harry and Hermione knew that this moment was deeper than the story of Aladdin, Harry finally had friends but only one other kid was Harry's true friend…Hermione.
Harry grew up, he was one of the only people who knew Hermione under all of the smart cover. On the first day of primary school Harry was delighted to know that Hermione was with him, he was less delighted that he had to attend the very school that Dudley was going to.
"Hi Hermione" Harry grinned walking into the door to the school, she was waiting for him here just as she promised. They weren't in the same class but they always from that day on sat together on the benches that sat against the wall with the view of the playground.
Harry looked at the playground keeping lookout for Dudley who was apparently mad that Harry was able to score a 'Girlfriend' before he could. Dudley always took it out on Harry and Hermione, but he never expected Harry to have a bodyguard.
Ethan who was a year older than Harry and Dudley saw what was going on. Ethan was a good kid, popular and he always liked Harry. He was tall for his age and much of a dare devil. He kept Dudley away from Harry most of the time.
Once Dudley finally agreed that he couldn't take Harry on his own, he brought his gang of friends to help. There was a massive fight with half the people laughing and the other half screaming, as soon as the fight started to get messy Ethan and Harry walked away.
Hermione was left there not doing any fighting, but instead she was screaming at the top of her lungs in how irresponsible this all was, while she stood on top of the bench right in the middle of the fight. The teachers came running thanks to Hermione's shrill screams.
The school blamed a fourth grader who had taken Dudley's side for starting the fight, though Dudley and his crew were sent home early.
Dudley never bullied Harry again physically but he didn't have much to tease Harry on because Harry could easily come back and say something about Dudley's size.
Harry and Hermione grew up happily together, they never had the slightest on what they really were. The Dursleys never liked Hermione Granger but they convinced themselves that it was good that Harry could make a 'proper' (normal) friend.
Harry grew taller than Dudley in the summer before grade five. Dudley had been kicked out of smetlings, Dudley had only been accepted when he had already finished first grade. When the interviewers saw his low amount of ability to think smart they made him repeat.
Dudley's friends taunted him on this so much that Dudley stared to bully younger kids at his school. Dudley got kicked out of that school and much to the disgust of aunt Petunia had to return to the school that Harry went to.
Harry and Hermione often spent rare bright and sunny days in Hermione's beautiful green backyard discussing and laughing over how much of a lost cause Dudley really was. The day before the first day of fifth grade Harry walked down the road to Hermione's house.
He whistled as he walked up to the small gate swinging it open. He walked through the house heading for the back door receiving the normal greetings of "Hermione's in the garden" and "How lovely of you to stop by".
Harry walked through the back door, he didn't notice Hermione on the steps while he closed the door behind him.
Harry looked around the garden, he couldn't see her anywhere. "Down here Electro" said a voice from next to his feet.
Harry looked down and smiled at Hermione "what you doing down there?" he asked noticing the use of his nickname based on the stubborn scar that didn't want to leave on his forehead.
Hermione just patted the place beside her motioning Harry to sit down beside her. As Harry sat he asked "What's wrong?"
Hermione smiled and said "School's back…fifth grade here we come" as she leaned back snuggling into Harry's shoulder, Harry stiffened at her touch, he wasn't used to being friends with anyone, let alone more than friends. But Hermione was his only friend, and he was her only friend.
Harry gripped Hermione's hand and said "We're up for the challenge…so we'll take it in smooth strides" Harry said quoting his favorite comic book. It was his only way he could say that he liked reading, he read comic books while Hermione went on and on about how reading educational books would be more help to you in life.
"What are you really upset about" Harry asked.
"I'm not upset…just nervous and…maybe a little confused"
"About?"
"Well…James asked me to his school dance and…"
"Do you want to go?" asked Harry interrupting Hermione
"I don't even go to the school he…"
Harry interrupted her again "Do you like him"
Hermione turned to face Harry, she stopped leaning on his shoulder "I actually really like someone else"
"Who?" Harry asked being the best friend that she could trust…
