Chapter 1: Last Day at Privet Drive
It was just another day on Privet Drive when Harry was pulling out weeds out of his Aunt Petunias garden.
"At least I am outside." He thought to himself. After the Orders threats to Harry's Uncle Vernon about treating Harry better "or else" Vernon took most of the restrictions off of Harry that had been upon him in previous years so Harry was basically allowed to do whatever he wanted as long as that:
1. Harry never mentions anything about the wizarding world.
2. Not to let his owl out during the day because the neighbors might think its odd
And 3. Make sure all of his chores are done.
But Harry always seemed to have time to himself now that he could use magic outside of Hogwarts. This not being able to use magic as an underage wizard was lifted (temporarily assured the Ministry of Magic) when Voldemort had returned to power. The Ministry saw that even though they are underage the young ones had to protect themselves so they are now allowed to use magic . However he still had to be careful because if Uncle Vernon found out, Harry would be in a whole heap of trouble.
All of a sudden Harry felt claws on his shoulders. He looked to his side and smiled instantly he knew that sitting on his shoulder was his best friend Rons crazy owl Errol. Harry looked at Errols leg and found a piece of paper tied to the inside of it. He took the paper and sent Errol on his way knowing that if he needed to send a reply he could use Hedwig tonight. Since the way wizards communicated were through the owl post and not by phone or computer. As Harry read the letter, he smiled more and more . . .
Dear Harry,
I hope this gets to you because you never know with this bloody bird. Since Errol is not that err accurate shall I say. I also hope that you do not get into too much trouble since I am doing this through owl post. But anyway I asked mom when you were going to come back to the burrow and she cleared it with Dumbledore and then mom had an idea. So we will be picking you up at one on the 30th.
See you soon,
Ron
p.s. Happy Birthday :)
Harry Couldn't believe it, he was going to be with the closest thing he had to a REAL family for his birthday, this was most definitely the best news that he had gotten all summer.
A couple of hours later Harry was ready to go. (He had used magic to finish all of his chores) and he had packed (after all it was the 29th). By the time the dursleys had come home and Harry had dinner ready
"Er . . . Uncle Vernon . . . "started Harry
"What is it boy" said Uncle Vernon.
"My friend Ron from Hog . . . ah school wrote me and was wandering if I could go to his house tomorrow for the rest of the holiday?"
"Of course you may." Said Aunt Petunia before Uncle Vernon could speak and as if she could hear what Uncle Vernon was thinking "that means you would be spending more time there and less time here, and we could tell everybody (meaning aunt petunias muggle friends) that you needed extra time at Saint Brutus."
At this point Uncle Vernon had closed his gapping mouth and shook his head in agreement.
The rest of dinner had gone along fine with no interruptions and Harry had once again cleared the table and did the dishes then he ran upstairs to make sure he had everything, "Lets see a wand, robes, broom, I think that is everything."
Harry got into bed but he couldn't get to sleep so he decided to read, and he knew the perfect book to. He got out of his bed and opened his trunk and he pulled out a massively thick book he had gotten from his friend Hermione it was called Hogwarts a History. Besides the moving pictures (all the wizard books had those) and the occasional interesting facts the book was quite dull and he fell asleep while reading the book, which he was hoping to do.
Stayed tuned to chapter 2: The Burrow
