CHAPTER 3: An Unforgettable Dinner
That night after Harry got home he borrowed some gas from the Dursley's tool shed. He filled his new scooter up with gas and oil and took it out for a test ride. It was a beautiful night and Harry enjoyed cruising around Privet Drive. He felt happy for the first time in weeks, since his Godfather's death. He had finally accepted that it wasn't his fault. He mainly blamed Snape and partially Dumbledore for what had happened.
Today had been the best. He had got a bunch of cool clothes, a new watch, a cool scooter, and best of all a girlfriend! Thinking back on that day Harry wandered if he had moved a little fast, but he was happy.
Harry decided that he wanted to see how fast the scooter could go. He pushed the throttle further in, enjoying the air on his face. At about 50 kilometers per hour (33 MPH) Harry could hear the motor boring out. Harry remember that he could do magic, so why not spice this up, he thought. He drove into the alley where he and Dudley had been attacked by Dementors the previous summer. There Harry pointed his wand at the motor and said "engorgio," holding his wand against the motor for a mere second. The motor change from a 25 CC to a 50 instantly. Then Harry repeated this process on the small exhaust pipe and tires. They grew a few inches. Harry then transfigured the speedometer to be digital and an inch bigger. Happy with his scooter's new look he hopped back on and made his way home. On the way back Harry got it up to about 50 MPH (78 KPH).
All in all, Harry felt that he had had a great day as he headed into number four Privet Drive. As soon as he got in his uncle grabbed him by the arm and said "where have you been boy? The new neighbors will be over for dinner in exactly 25 minutes. Get showered and dressed nicely now! And NO funny business!" "Yes Uncle Vernon," Harry said through clenched teeth.
Twenty minutes later Harry came downstairs showered and dressed. He had his contacts in and was wearing a new green button up shirt with the top two buttons undone, along with a new pair of slacks and his black oxford shoes. He messed his hair up a little more than usual, just like he had seen his father do in Snape's pensive the previous year. He had on his gold chain with the locket which he had got in Sirius's will.
"Harry you look finely dressed," Aunt Petunia said kindly.
'Wow, Aunt Petunia was just nice to me,' Harry thought. "Enough, Dudley looks like a real man," Vernon said looking at his rather chubby son. Just then the doorbell rang and Dudley waddled over to the door. He opened it. Nicole, Mr. And Mrs. Walker and Mike were all standing in front of the door.
"Hello, Mr. And Mrs. Walters, and who are your lovely children?" Aunt Petunia greeted them. Harry saw Vernon checking out Meagan and Nicole.
Harry gritted his teeth as his uncle continued to 'observe' their guests.
"This is Mike and this is Nicole," Mr. Walters replied with a smile.
"Pleasure to meet you," Nicole and Mike said shaking hands with all the Dursleys. "We met your nephew in town today," Mrs. Walters told the Dursleys. Uncle Vernon glared at Harry with beady eyes.
Mrs. Walters went on "..And he is such a good looking young man, I wander where he gets it." "From his Uncle no-doubt," Uncle Vernon said jovially.
"That is funny from what Harry told my wife I didn't think you and Harry were related by blood Vernon," Mr. Walters said laughing.
Uncle Vernon visibly blushed. "Well, you know, I have helped raise the boy and I may have influenced his appearance a little," Vernon mumbled.
As they sat down at the Dursley's dinner table Uncle Vernon kept shooting hostile glares at his nephew. Dudley was staring at Nicole intently.
During dinner Vernon told a rather unfunny Golf joke, which none of the Walters laughed at. Petunia told them that the salmon she had cooked was prepared in 'her specialty sauce'. No one had second helpings of the salmon. As Petunia was serving pudding for dessert Dudley announced that he and Nicole were going up to his room so he could show her some computer games. Nicole looked affronted but didn't protest. Harry got up and offered Mike a hand out of his seat when Vernon told Harry they should "stay down stairs and out of Dudley's way."
After about two minutes downstairs Harry felt an uneasy feeling in his stomach. He was worried about Nicole! He said he was going to the bathroom and sprinted up stairs. He heard muffled sounds coming from Dudley's door. He turned the lock , it was locked. Harry quickly cast 'alohamora" , the unlocking charm. He opened the door to see Dudley push Nicole back onto his bed and forcefully try to kiss her neck. Nicole pushed him, but was no match. Dudley's face was an inch away from Nicole's when Harry tapped Dudley on the shoulder. Dudley stupidly turned his head. The next thing he saw was Harry's fist connecting with his face.
