Once both boys were awake and getting dressed. It was still rather early, but it wasn't certain where exactly Harry's new was, so everyone wanted to be ready in plenty of time. When the boys were getting dressed, both Vernon and Petunia could be found in the kitchen - Vernon of course at the table, reading the morning paper, and Petunia finishing up breakfast. Of course, she wanted to make sure the boys ate a good breakfast before their first day. Though honestly, she was a bit nervous on how both of them would do. It wasn't long before you could hear Harry and Dudley running down the stairs.
She looked over and sighed a little.
"Boys, no running down the stairs!" she walked over and placed all the plates down on the table. "Sit down and eat, both of you," she said after a moment when Harry and Dudley were playing around.
Harry ran over and sat down as he looked at his aunt. "Aunt Petunia, will I get out of school the same time as Dudley?" he asked as he took a bite of his food.
She looked over at that and thought for a minute. "Yes, I believe you do, actually. We will probably pick up you first, since your school is a bit farther away. It might take a while to figure out exactly how to get everything done," she smiled as he just nodded and ate his food.
Once everyone had finished their breakfast and it was off to take both boys to school. Vernon, who had been rather quiet, looked at both boys. "Get your backpacks and head out to the car," he said as he saw them both walk into the living room without them. He laughed a little as they both ran up the stairs to get their bags. He walked out and started the car. He looked up as both boys ran out and got into the car. "Okay, are we ready to go?" he asked as he looked at Petunia.
She nodded a little at his question. "Yes, we are all ready to go and I believe we have everything," she said as she looked at them in the backseat. "Buckle up, both of you," she said to them.
The drive to London of course took a bit, though they did eventually get there. At first they were going into the wong direction. She looked at Harry, who was literally bouncing up and down on the back seat in his excitement. She got out and opened the door for him.
"Are you ready, Harry?" she asked with a smile.
"Yes!" he said as he jumped out of the car and ran up to to his aunt. She looked over to Dudley, who was with Vernon, and smiled a little. She did wish he could go there with Harry, but at the same time she also wanted to make sure that there were not any jealousy with both of them like there were at times with her and Lily growing up.
As they walked into the building, both boys could be seen looking around at everything in amazement. "Cool!" Harry said as he walked with his aunt. They walked into the classroom to find quite few kids already there, even though it was still pretty early. He let go and ran up to the other kids and started talking to them. She smiled a little, shaking her head, as the teacher walked up. She walked over with her to a corner. "Hello, you must be Mrs. Dursley, I am Mrs. Johnson," she shook Petunia's hand. She looked over to find Harry getting along with all of the kids already.
Petunia also looked over before saying anything to the teacher. "I did have a few concerns that I wanted to talk to you about," she said this softly so that only they could hear.
She nodded a little and walked over to the desk with her. She grabbed her wand and put a privacy spell up as well, which of course would make it where no one could hear. "Ok, we can talk now in private," she sat down with her.
"Well I was wondering how it would be with Harry, being who he is. I am aware of the whole famous thing and I was wondering if it would be different for him versus the other students?"
She listened to her concerns before saying anything. "Well I will be honest here, I am not sure how that will end up, but I can assure you that I will do my best to make everything as normal as possible for him."
She nodded a little at that. "Well, I am kind of hoping that maybe with him being in the wizarding world a little sooner, people will get used to the idea of seeing him and maybe with Hogwarts later it won't be such of a shock."
"Yes, I believe you may be right. It is probably going to take some getting used to for him but we will do our best to make sure he has fun and also treat him the same as everyone else."
She smiled after that. "Thank you very much," she walked over after the teacher took down the privacy wards and knelt down to Harry. "Harry, I have to go now."
He looked over and nodded a little, hugging her. "You will come get me after school, right?"
"Yes Harry, I promise," she hugged him back and got up, walking out of the room with Vernon and Dudley.
After about 20 minutes everyone had arrived. She walked up to the front of the room and clapped her hands to get everyone's attention.
"Ok class, my name is Mrs. Johnson," she wrote it on the board so they would be able to see it. "I want everyone to find their seat with their names on them and sit down quietly, please," she watched as everyone found their seats rather quickly.
"Good job!" she said in praise to them, smiling as all the kids got excited about the praise.
"Ok, first we are going to start with a game. We will start with the red table over here and I want you to say your name and something about yourself," she looked over to the red table and nodded to the first one there.
"My name is Hermione Granger, and I like to learn new things," yes that was true, and she was excited to learn that she would be coming here.
She nodded to her. "Very good!" she looks to the next person and nods.
"My name is Draco Malfoy and I like flying on my toy broom!" he said with excitement clear in his eyes.
After both of them had their turn,harry looked at her. "My name is Harry Potter and I like playing outside with my cousin Dudley," everyone surprisingly did not say anything about his name.
"My name is Ron Weasley and I like playing with my brothers and sisters!" he said with excitement.
After about 20 minutes everyone in the room had said their names and one thing they liked to do. She walked over and grabbed a paper. "Ok, we are going to start with a worksheet," she gave one to each student. "We will be learning letters over the next week or so. Today we will be starting with the letter A," she explained the sound of the A and smiled as they were repeating her.
"Can anyone tell me a word that you think might start with an A?" she looked around as ever Nov 1yone raised their hands. "Harry?"
"Apple!" he said excitedly, glad that he was able to answer.
"Very good!" she walked over to the front. "Now, I want each of you to trace the letter and write it on the lines if you can."
After that, the day seemed to pass pretty quickly.
She looked up after everyone had finished a worksheet. "Okay, it is time to go outside and play for a while. I want everyone to line up in front of the door."
Everyone placed their papers on her desk and walked or almost ran over to the door in excitement. She smiled and opened the door, letting them play on the playground.
As they all ran outside, Harry looked around, seeing all the different things: the slides, swings, monkey bars. He ran over after a moment of thought to the swings, as it has always been his favorite thing to do.
As he started to swing, he looked over to see someone sitting next to him. "Hi, you're Draco, right?" he asked him after a moment.
He nodded and smiled to him. "Yes, and you're Harry, right?" at the smile Harry gave, he knew he had gotten it right. "Hey, I have an idea, how about we see which one of us can swing higher!" he said in excitement.
"Yeah, that sounds cool!" he nodded and started to swing after the count of three. At first it seemed as if he might win but then Draco started going up way higher. Once both boys had gotten pretty high they slowed down and came to a stop.
"I won!" Draco said once they stopped and he got off.
"Yeah, but I will win next time!" Harry said with a determined nod and got off himself. A few minutes later they heard the techer saying it was time to go in. After that time went by rather quickly. -
As they were all putting their papers into their bags, the door opened as parents started to come into the room. Harry looked up and smiled when he saw his Aunt, running up to her. "Aunt Petunia!" he hugged her and let her take his bag from him as she reached for it.
"Hey Harry, did you have a fun time?" she asked him as she hugged him back.
"Yeah! I can't wait to come back tomorrow," he said as he grabbed her hand to walk out. Looking over his shoulder, he waved to Draco. "See you tomorrow!" he smiled as he waved back and walked out with her to the car. He got in and started telling her about his day. She smiled as she listened to him. At first she had been unsure if he would like it, though now she could tell that her worries were for nothing and that he would be just fine. Driving home she could not help but think just how much she loved her life how it is right now, thinking that there really isn't anything that she would change.
