This year had passed way too soon for Harry to fulling enjoy it , Dudley had been prohibited from going to the playground, even though he had been given a fair few weeks in his cupboard, this had been the best year he had ever had, and now it was June 22nd a day before Dudley's birthday.

Every year aunt Petunia and uncle Vernon took Dudley and a friend out for the day, be it hamburger restaurants, theme parks, the zoo and god knows what.

Every year Harry had been left to stay at Mrs. Figg's, a mad old lady who liked cats and with her cabbage smelling living room,

Perhaps that was why he was in a such a foul mood the moment he had been forced out of his cupboard.

He sulked all the way to school, kicking rocks.

And as if things couldn't get any worse, he ran into Arianna, his year's 'Brats', and her gang of buffoons.

"Oh! do you have any sense or-" she paused to look at him with disgust

Behind him, came Hermione "Hey Good morning Har-" she was interrupted by Kathrine

"Ew why are you talking to him" she said

"Well because he is my friend" Hermione replied, looking at the so called 'Brats'.

"Oh honey we will have to fix her!" Arianna, said looking her 'friends'

"Ew look at her hair!" said Stephanie, holding Hermione's hair with two fingers

"Leave her alone" said Ron who just arrived

As if the school did not want a fight to take place, the bell rang. they all ran to their classes and sat.

They made it until lunch, when Ron spoke up

"Hey Harry why are you in such a bad mood today?"

Harry thought for a moment, then replied,

"Uh, it's my cousin's birthday, tomorrow"

"Why are you sad about that?" Hermione said

"hm.. just I can't go with him, my aunt and uncle won't allow me"

"Where do you go then?" Ron said

"To Mrs. Figg's, I don't like it there" Harry said sighing

"I'll ask mum if you can come over" Ron said a finger on his chin

"R-really? but my aunt and uncle should allow me too," Harry said sadly

"Well your aunt can meet Ron's mum after school and then you can ask!" Hermione said "I'll ask my mum if I can come too!"

"So kind of like a playdate?" Harry said

"Yeah" Ron exclaimed

During the remaining hours of school Harry thought of ways to convince his aunt and uncle to let him go and have some fun for once.

Finally after school Ron's brought his mum over to aunt Petunia

And surprisingly enough she allowed Harry to go, almost as if she wanted him to go away from Dudley on his birthday.

Well he may have been scolded by Uncle Vernon and put and extent to his 'no meals' period by a week as if he hadn't eaten in about a week already, he still thought it was worth the risk

'good night' was the last thought that roamed around freely in his mind before he drifted into a dreamless sleep ( or rather nightmareless sleep?)

Thank for all thee people reading this story! thank you really.
