Too Many Donuts!
~~*~~
It was just another ordinary day at the Dursley's house. Harry was sitting on his bed, counting the days until he would go back to Hogwarts (18), when suddenly a snowy owl swooped in from his bedroom window.
"Hello Hedwig, long time no see," said Harry, stroking the owl as she nibbled on the small piece of toast Harry gave her. Hedwig had been gone for nearly a week after Harry let her out to go hunting. Then, he noticed a box of donuts and a letter tied to her leg. It read:
Dear Harry,
I hope the Dursley's are treating you right over there. Anyway, my mum said that you and Ron could come over for the last two weeks of summer vacation! Ron already said that he was allowed to come, now we're just waiting for your reply. You know what? Last week my mum bought me a book all about Professor Dumbledore! Did you know that he invented time-turners when he was in 4th year? He also created a few of the charms we learn in class! But the most amazing thing about the book is that as Dumbledore does more wondrous things, the book adds more information so you won't have to read the same thing every time you read the book! Well, I have to go now. Hope to see you soon!
Love,
Hermione
P.S. Hope you like the donuts
As Harry reached for a mini powdered donut, a tiny…thing flew in from the window and snatched it from his hand. It started to hoot loudly and bounce around the room. It broke quite a few things while it darted around, but thankfully none of the Dursley's heard the racket. When it flew into a lamp, it stopped long enough for Harry to recognize it as Ron's owl, Pigwidgeon. Before it began to bolt around the room again, he grabbed the two small boxes and the letter that were tied to its leg. He opened it and it read:
Dear Harry,
Well I'm guessing if your reading this right now, Pig made it two your house. I wasn't going to use him but Ginny insisted that I do so it could get more exercise. Ha! I bet the real reason is that it's finally starting to annoy her, and she needed an excuse to get it out of the house. I don't know why she even likes that pathetic excuse for a bird, but I really didn't have a choice to use him since Errol and Hermes were already delivering letters for Fred and George. Have you heard about the new candy Honeydukes has, Quill-Pops? They're kind of like Sugar Quills, but in assorted flavors. I suppose Hermione's told you about us being able to stay over at her house. Those bloody Muggles better let you come! But then again, even if they don't, me, Fred and George are still going to get you out of there. So either way, see you later!
Ron
P.S. Mum and Ginny made you some donuts.
"More donuts…"sighed Harry as he opened the two boxes of freshly baked donuts.
~~*~~
Two mini glazed donuts and one raspberry jelly filled one later, three owls swooped in, all with letter and boxes.
"Please no more donuts, please no more donuts!"
But to his misfortune, each and every box contained donuts. The first of the three letters was from Hagrid.
Dear Harry,
Hope you're doin' all right at the Dursley's. If they're not feeding you enough again, you can eat those donuts I got for you. There really isn't much to talk about at the moment. Tell ya when I see ya at Hogwarts.
Hagrid
The second letter he opened was from Sirius. Harry was glad he finally wrote back, he hadn't received any letters from him for a few months and was getting worried.
Dear Harry,
Sorry I haven't been writing for a while. I was looking for a new hideout, and I just found one the other day. As always, I can't tell you where I am now in case someone intercepts this letter. So how've you been? Are the Dursley's treating you right? I promise once my name is cleared, you can come live with me. Well, actually I need to find a house first, then you can come live with me. Anyway, is there anything strange happening? How's your scar? Well, I was just checking up on you. I should go now, Dumbledore wants to see me. Write back soon!
Sirius
P.S. I swiped a few donuts from the Leaky Cauldron. Enjoy!
Just as Harry was about to reply to Sirius' letter, he hear a loud crash coming from downstairs, so he went down to check what it was…
"I don't want to eat vegetables, I want bacon!!!" boomed Dudley's voice from the kitchen.
When Harry reached the bottom of the stairs, he saw broccoli, spinach, and broken plate pieces all over the kitchen floor.
"Now, calm down Dudders, I'll go down to the store and buy some bacon," said Vernon Dursley.
"Then go, NOW!" yelled the obnoxious, pudgy boy, "and you," he said pointing to the horse faced woman, also known as Petunia Dursley, "I want a foot massage!"
In an instant, Mrs. Dursley ran upstairs to get the rubbing oil. Harry stared at Dudley with a look of disgust on his face.
"What are you looking at?"
"Not much," muttered Harry to himself, then he said, "Dudley, do I act like a person who really likes donuts?"
Dudley just stared at him with one eyebrow raised. Seconds later, "Mum! Harry's being weird again!"
With that Petunia ran down the stairs with a bottle of rubbing oil in her hands.
"What did you do now!" she said accusingly, but with a slight tone of fear in her voice.
"Nothing," replied Harry.
"Don't you lie!"
"But I'm not!"
"No dinner for you then!"
"Well at least I have enough donuts," muttered Harry to himself as he walked back upstairs to his room.
