Chapter 4 Petunia's Repair

"Thank you Harry, I am so sorry for, for everything." Turning to Dudley, she said, "I have no idea, we will just have to wait and see."

The following morning Harry awoke to breakfast in bed, a heaping plate of food awaited him, with eggs, bacon, hash browns, biscuits and gravy, a magnificent spread. His aunt stood awkwardly watching him; his reaction was priceless, absolute astonishment, to complete gratitude.

"Aunt Petunia what is all this? I understand its food but why are you doing this?" Harry asked.

"I realized that I treated an absolute scumbag immensely better than my own flesh and blood. And I didn't mind, it didn't bother me. Well now it does, and I want to be there for my nephew, like I should have been there for my little sister. I hated that she was better than me, that she was a witch, she was prettier, my parents loved her more, I resented her, but most of all I wanted to be her."

Harry was shocked at his Aunt for the second time that morning, she completely opened up to him, wanting to be the mother figure he had wanted for so many years. He gladly accepted, shoveling food into his mouth. How different things are this time around, if things keep changing I will have a completely different life, and I will have nothing to go by, Harry thought to himself.

Over the next few weeks a new mood was about at Number 4 Privet Drive, a happy mood, on that hadn't been there since before Petunia lived there. A routine was settled into, Aunt Petunia made breakfast, then Harry was free to do whatever he wanted, eat all he wanted, watch the TV as much as he could, a far cry from his eleven years prior in this life. On what he assumed as a cloudy dark morning of September 1st, Harry Potter awoke, dreaming of his wedding, his heart aching for Ginny Weasley, today would be the "first" time he met her, he was bubbling with excitement, not looking at the time he leaped from bed and started to prepare for the day. When he went downstairs, his aunt wasn't even up yet, strange because he knew he got up a good hour or more after her, so he went to wake her up.

"Aunt Petunia, Aunt Petunia," Harry whispered, "Come-on, I have am going to Hogwarts today."

Petunia looked at her clock, and then up at her excited nephew, "Harry do you know what time it is?"

"No, why?"

"Its 4 in the morning."

"Oh, sorry Aunt Petunia, I will let you sleep."

"Thank you, see you at 7."

Harry walked back to his room, closing his door. He started pacing and twirling his wand in his hand for lack of something better to do. An idea came into his mind, slowly turning into a desire, he looked at his wand, pointed it at his water bottle by his bed, empty. Pointing his wand directly into the bottle, he did the hand movement as he said, "Augumenti." His water bottle filling up to the top before harry canceled the spell. Wondering if a letter from the Improper Use of Magic, Harry knew from all the time at the Ministry that if you were not contacted within 28 minutes you successfully pulled off underage magic. After what seemed like lifetime an owl dotted the distance, disappointed he couldn't do magic while not in school, he resolved to talk to Ginny today, letting her see him as a person not a hero of unattainable standards.

An owl pecking at he window broke him of his revere, opening the window to let the bird in. He put some water and owl treats out. He removed the letter, wholly expecting it to start abusing him of underage magic, but instead it was a letter from Ganak, his Account Manager.

Dear Mr. Potter,

Enclosed is a list of all that is currently in the Potter Vault, I apologize for the delay, it was simply due to the vast amount of valuable items your family has collected. As well as the list there is a verification of…

Sincerely

Lufe Ganak

Harry smiled, his plan was set in place and all he had to do was wait until next year. On top of that he cold do magic and the Ministry were none the wiser, this was going to be a good year.

"Harry, are you ready?" Aunt Petunia called up to him.

With a start Harry realized it was time to go to Hogwarts and see the love of his life, whom he missed dearly.

"Yes Aunt Petunia, I will be down in a second," Harry said ready to start a new chapter in his life.
