Harry Potter and the end of the beginning
Harry looked around the room at the Dursley's house. He had been locked in his bedroom since he had got off the Hogwarts Express. Hedwig hooted glumly in his locked cage. Harry rolled over on his bed and sighed again. Not a word from Ron or Hermione over the last month had dampened his spirits and Harry found himself thinking again that the last 4 years had all been a dream.
Harry sat up and reached into the open trunk at the foot of his bed and retrieved his potions book, parchment and a quill. He sat at his desk and slowly started the incredibly boring potions essay set by the evil Professor Snape.
Suddenly there was a tapping at the window. Harry leant over and saw that there was an owl at the window sitting on the ledge between the bars on Harry's window. "Pig!.. brilliant!" Harry exclaimed Harry opened the window and Pigwidgeon flew in bouncing of the wall. Harry chased the tiny owl and grabbed it. Smiling to himself he got the letter of Pig's log.
Harry opened the letter with trembling fingers. He recognised Hermione's neat handwriting.
Harry! How are you? We figured that since you haven't been answering our letters, something must be wrong. I know that over the past few years Ron has gotten you out of the Dursley's but this time Ron and I have decided that it should be me to get you out of the Dursley's. I still don't know how we will do this. But we will think of something. Please be ready for our signal. You will know what it is when it comes. Be aware Love Hermione.
Harry! Do what Hermione says ok mate. Has she ever let us down before? Anyway, as she said be aware and we will try to get you out of there as soon as possible without my parents knowing. I have some important
Ron
Harry looked puzzled at the crossed out writing at the bottom of Ron's note.
Harry heard footsteps walking towards his room. He grabbed Pigwidgeon and stuffed the small owl and the letter in the open trunks at the bottom of his bed and flung himself unto his bed as the door burst open to reveal Uncle Vernon framed in the door.
