For once in the village Little Whinging the sun had burned through the mist. Nearly one o'clock in the afternoon and the sun had just begun to warm the earth. Adele made her way to Privet Drive where one of her dear friends had been unfortunate to live. She knocked on the white front door hoping to see his perpetually messy black hair, as well as his striking green eyes behind the round glasses always resting on his nose. Unfortunately it was not Harry who had answered the door, but his unpleasant aunt, Petunia.
"Well hello, is there anything you need?" She said with a smile that had no effect on her eyes. Harry had told Adele the stories about the Dursley family, how they treated him almost like a slave.
"Yes actually I am here to see Harry, Harry Potter." Adele smiled back, but her smile was genuine. When she spoke Harry's name faces poked out from corners. Both were fat, one of them had a mustache, this one was Harry's uncle, Vernon Dursley. The other was Harry's spoiled cousin, Dudley.
"I'm sorry but nobody goes by that name here." She then closed the door on Adele's face, so Adele knocked once more.
"I hate to bother you again, but since you gave me no chance of saying any other word I was unable to apologize for wasting your time." Petunia was shocked by the kindness Adele had shown her. Adele had her own plan of course, she knew that Petunia was lying about Harry, so Adele was going to climb up to Harry's room and greet him there.
"Who was that?" Harry asked Petunia as she closed the door.
"Oh nobody you know." She snickered
"That's odd, the voice sounded familiar…" He then made his way back to his room
"She sounded rather nice." Dudley said as he changed the channels on TV.
"Dudley, She was probably a witch! How else could the boy know her?" Petunia said flabbergasted.
"Potter probably fancies her…" Dudley mumbled as he searched for a show that pleased him.
Adele began throwing rocks at Harry's window, she had wished she could use her magic, but that was forbidden.
"What in the world?" Harry opened his bedroom window only to be smacked across the face with a hard rock that could have made him blind.
"Oh, sorry Harry." Adele laughed
"Oh its fine, Addie what are you doing here?" He asked rubbing his cheek that might possibly be bruised.
"Well we both live in the Muggle world, so I came to see you." she smiled at him glad he had called her by her nickname. Unlike the rest of his friends Harry was unable to keep contact with anyone in the wizard world, anyone in any world actually.
"HARRRY!" Vernon yelled in his deep husky voice, Harrry looked at his bedroom door then back at Adele, She nodded understanding why they had to cut their meeting short for a minute or two, possibly ten.
"Yes?" Harry said as he made his way to the living room.
"Marge will be here soon, she's staying for a week."
"WAIT WHAT!" Harry shouted, Vernon just raised his hand and Harry was silent again.
"While she's here I want no funny stuff, got it!" He threatened.
"Yes." Harry replied darkly then went back to his room to talk with Adele once more. She was sitting on the lawn removing large clumps of green around her.
"Oh you're back." She smiled then dusted herself off. "Is there any way we can talk on the same level of ground?" She laughed
"Actually…" Harry disappeared from her sight and returned with his invisibility cloak
"I don't understand why I hadn't thought of this before." His smile stretched from ear to ear as he threw his cloak to his friend. She grabbed the cloak and a blue box he just now noticed. Adele pressed her ears against the front door waiting till the voices were far enough to tell if they were near the door. She wrapped the cloak around her small pale body and she had been invisible. She quietly opened the door and made her way up the staircase. Just to her luck the bottom floor board squeaked, the house then became silent. The Dursley's were listening for more noise, when they didn't hear anything Vernon waddled to see if Harry was there. Adele gracefully made her way to the top of the staircase without a sound.
"Must have just been…. The house settling." He mumbled as he waddled back to the kitchen. Adele entered Harry's room and took off the cloak.
"Happy birthday!" She whispered excitedly as she handed him a medium sized blue box.
"You remembered." Harry was gleaming at this point. he opened the box only to find what seemed to be every type of candy in the wizard world.
"I didn't know if they fed you in this place, and I know they don't give you candy here. So there it is, there will be more when we get to Hogwarts." Adele smiled
"Thanks." Harry and Adele both embraced each other for a few short moments until there was loud thumping coming closer to Harry's door.
"I better go, see you in a couple of weeks." She smiled then jumped out the window.
