1 Chapter 1 - The Move
~*~*~
Vernon opened the door of the new house in Alpharetta, Georgia. It was a bigger house than the one in Privet Drive. Harry took his suitcase and carried it in. Vernon glared at Harry and said, "You, boy. Take the luggage and bags upstairs!"
Harry chewed on his lip and obediently carried all the luggage and bags up. Vernon had four luggage, Petunia three, and Dudley seven. They had three bags (not luggage) in total. Harry took half an hour to get all of the luggage and bags up the winding staircase and to the second floor. Vernon clasped his hands eagerly as he watched poor Harry carry the luggage up with a lot of effort. When Harry was done, Vernon brought Harry to his new room. It was no longer under the stairs. It was a room not exactly in the house either, according to Vernon. Vernon brought Harry to the front porch. There were two doors. One led into the house, the other into another room. It was a slightly bigger room, with two windows and curtains.
"You will stay in here," Vernon said.
"Okay," Harry said.
"We will be going out to get beds for everyone," Vernon looked sternly at Harry, and Harry knew he was one of those getting the beds, and he nodded.
A few hours later, when everyone was done unpacking (Dudley had his parents unpack for him), they went to buy beds and furniture for the house. Harry had finished unpacking in ten minutes, as he had little to unpack, but it was not so for the Dursleys. They took their own sweet time to unpack. So they stepped into the furniture store. Dudley got a dark pine- coloured loft bed, while Harry got the cheapest bed in the store. But the mattress was comfortable, and that was all Harry cared about. Harry got a stool as a bedside table as well. Those were the only two things he got. Dudley got a computer desk and chair, and lots of other things. Petunia and Vernon got a nice-looking and comfortable bed and other furniture to fill up the house. Their order would arrive the next day. Then they went to another store to get Dudley's computer, and Dudley chose the most expensive one. He also persuaded his parents to get him five computer games, which they did get for him. Harry rolled his eyes at this, but waited patiently for the family.
They reached home late at night, at about 9.00pm. Harry sat down in a corner of his room and thought about the Dursleys moving here. He had no idea why. Maybe it was just to get him, Harry, away from Hogwarts. Harry sighed. He was worried. Sirius had not yet replied and Harry had no hope of hearing from his godfather again. How would they come and get him? Floo Powder? Harry shifted uncomfortably, and fell into a fitful sleep.
"Harry." A distant, high voice called out to Harry. Hilltops, trees, and flowers surrounded Harry.
"Hermione?" Harry replied, venturing forth.
"Harry. We're coming for you. Wait for us!" Hermione cried.
"Where are you?" Harry asked.
This time there was no reply. Harry knelt down and buried his face in his hands, sobbing uncontrollably. He looked up again and called out, "Hermione? Ron? Are you there?"
Harry's voice rolled up and back down the vast hilltops surrounding him. The distant hooting of an owl in the broad daylight meant nothing to Harry. He tried again, "Ron! Hermione! I'm here! I'm waiting!"
Still there was no reply. The black-haired boy stood up and turned around. The sun above him was now setting. He ran his hand through his hair and sighed. His friends had not come after all. It was just an illusion.
"When you start seeing or hearing things, you are close to death. You are starving. Dying of fatigue." A stern voice in Harry's head said. Harry remembered reading that in a book, but he was neither hungry nor tired. He sighed again, and slept on the soft grass.
