Harry Delivers a Letter
Harry rolled over and turned off his alarm. He took a deep breath and released it loudly and at great length. Ginny looked up mischievously. "Well, today's the day. Are you excited? You haven't seen him in years...think of all you have to discuss..."
"You've got to be kidding. There's not a good day of my life that included him. I'd almost rather see Draco Malfoy today."
"Oh, come now. It will be fine."
"I'm not looking forward to it. I'm not expecting a positive response. I still can't believe those two produced a wizarding child."
"Well, give it your best. You might have done better with this if you'd done more than send a random postcard at Christmas."
"I never had the feeling that they wanted to keep in touch."
"Well, obviously, you had something in common. She'll be just Lily's age. Maybe they'll be sorted into the same house."
"Hmph"
"Just think, if this goes well, you could start a new career."
"All right, now you're mocking me." He got up and put on his most ordinary muggle clothes. Brown trousers, green button down shirt. "How do I look?"
Ginny's eyes melted. "Like a dream. Hurry home."
Harry apparated to #11. "Harry Potter, postman. So much for the new career Ginny has mapped out for me. Well, here goes."
He knocked on the door. A sweet looking lady answered the door. There was a question in her soft brown eyes. "Yes?"
"Elizabeth?" She nodded. "My name is Harry Potter. I wonder if I could come in and speak with you and your husband about Patsy."
"You're--? Oh, I've heard about you. You want to talk about Patsy? Let me go get him." The waves of her brown hair bounced as she went up the stairs.
His voice preceded him down the stairs. "I can't say I'm terribly surprised. I knew he'd be here at some point or other...hello, Harry."
"Hello, Dudley."
A/N: I've always wondered how Dudley would react if one of his children turned out to be a wizard or witch. This is my first go at story writing since college, so I hope you'll review and let me know if I'm on the right track!
