Harry dragged his trunk up to his room alone and sat down on his bed, sighing. Summer's returned once more. Another 2 months of torture at the Dursley's and another 2 months without his magic. How much worse could life get?? Harry lay back down on his bed, staring at the ceiling. An owl flew into Harry's window and landed on his chest. Harry looked at it sleepily and noticed the Hogwarts seal.

"What the hell?" he thought. He sat up and ripped open the letter.

"Dear Mr. Potter,

"We are sorry to bother you so early in your summer vacation but we have just received word that there will be a new student at our school this coming year. She is very lonely since her two older brothers are famous in the Muggle word and her father left them when she was little. She decided to come live with her grandmother who lives in your area. We realize that you are familiar with her grandmother and we'd ask you to please try to make the girl feel at home in her new country. Her name is Sarah and she will arrive next week. Please meet us at the park near your aunt and uncle's house then on Saturday, July 7 at 7:00 pm. After that, please meet her once a week at least to get to know her. She has already been sorted into Gryfinndor and it would be very helpful if she were familiar with someone in her house. Sorry if this is any inconivince to you. Thank you for your cooperation and support.

"Sincerely, Prof. Dumbledore

"Headmaster of Hogwarts"

Harry lie back down on the bed with a low groan.

"Great," he mumbled to himself, "Now I have to baby-sit some baby all summer. Wonder who she is." he sat up and walked to his trunk, getting out his quill, ink and parchment, "Maybe Hermione or Ron will know who she is." He sat down on his floor and started to write letters to his two best friends.

Dear Ron and Hermione,

I have to baby-sit this little kid sooo please come and get me out of here!!! She's going to be so annoying, I just know it!!! She's just moved in with her grandmother to England and her dad left her when she was young and her two older brothers are famous in the Muggle world. God sounds like a snob or whiney brat already eh guys??? Anyways I'll write to you guys soon.

Love,

Harry.

Harry copied the letter and then attached both of the sheets of parchment to Hedwig's leg that had extended itself as she perched on top of her cage. She hooted and flew off into the darkening sky. Harry lay down on his stomach, drifting into a deep sleep, on his bed in number 4 Privet Drive.

The days whizzed by as Harry slaved away under the hot early July sun. Soon, it was July 7. Harry's mind buzzed with a way to ask his aunt and uncle to be allowed to go to the park. By the time he had made their supper, he decided he was just going to ask right then and there. As he set their plates down in front of them he cleared his throat. His uncle twisted his small, thick neck around to look Harry square in the eyes. He raised an eyebrow, questioning as to why Harry wanted his attention.

"Ummmm…Uncle Vernon? I had a small matter to attend to tonight. Would I be excused to walk to the park please?" he batted his eyes, innocently. Aunt Petunia rolled her eyes and spun around in her chair.

"Yes," she squawked in her annoying voice, "but no magic whatsoever!! Do you hear me boy??"

Harry nodded his head obediently. He grabbed a roll from the counter and sped up the stairs to change before he went to go meet his whiney chore.

Twenty minutes later, he was sauntering down the street towards the park. He noticed three shapes were already standing under the light of a near by lamppost. The tallest figure stepped forward to greet Harry.

"Ah Mister Potter. You have come. Thank you again. Since I do realize that this is your vacation I will make sure that Gyrfinndor has a quantity of points when school starts again in September," smiled Dumbledore. Mrs. Figg smiled along with him. Professor McGonnagal cleared her throat and said to Harry, "May I introduce to you, Sarah Madden from America." The three adults parted to different sides to reveal a young girl. She had long black hair and dark brown eyes. Her skin was light and her long eyelashes curled elegantly and brushed against her cheeks when she blinked. She stared up at Harry and said in a sweet as honey voice, "Hello, I'm Sarah and you must be Harry. Professors Dumbledore and McGonnagal have told me tons about you, plus my grandmother, Grandma Figg. I'm very pleased to make your acquaintance." She stuck out her hand and Harry shook it absentmindedly.

"Wow!!" he thought, "She's really pretty! Too bad she's too young for me. Well, at least her and Ginny will probably get along. And she seems pretty smart so Hermione and her will have a great time, doing whatever it is that Hermione actually does."

"Would you care to join me for a walk Sarah? Well, as long as that's ok with the adults that is," Harry looked at the tall figures, who were smiling at the couple.

"Why of course dear!" exclaimed Mrs. Figg, "Just have her back before ten as that's her curfew."

The three grown-ups faded into the rolling, evening fog.

Harry offered his arm as him and Sarah strolled into the park, mesmerized by the fog and swaying trees.
