Chapter 1: Unexpected twist of fate
It was a beautiful night, the stars were shining and the moon was gleaming down upon a young couple. There was soft music in the background and they were dancing closely, feeling the warmth from each others bodies. Harry looked into Hermione's eyes and smiled at her, he leant in to kiss her. "HARRY, HARRY!!!! Get up, we're going to be late getting everything ready for Dudley's special day." Aunt Petunia's voice sounded through his bedroom in the small house of number 4 privet drive. He was really upset, he was having such a wonderful dream. He smiled as he thought about how beautiful Hermione was. It was the summer after his fifth year at Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and he had started to realize that he was falling in love with one of his best friends. Hermione was an intelligent girl, whom Harry had always admired for her ability to find ways out of tough situations, but he never thought he'd be dreaming about her. He got up and got dressed, he hated Dudley's birthday, but the memory of his dream that night helped him get through it.
All day he had to put up with his cousin. " I want my presents!" shouted Dudley although he was now turning 16. 'Still acting like a child,' thought Harry with a grin on his face. Dudley seemed to get everything he wanted, a new play station 2, seeing as how he broke the last one, a new computer, and a lot of games. Of course there weren't any books, what use would Dudley have for a book? Now Dudley did his best to avoid Harry all together now, since the incident in Magnolia Crescent about a year ago. It was still vivid in his memory.
Later that night Harry decided to go to sleep a little early, he was hoping he could finish off his dream, but as he got to his room Hedwig, his owl, was perched on his bedpost holding a letter. He went over to her silently and removed it from her leg, he then gave her a few strokes as she gently hooted. When she finally left and went to her cage for some food, Harry looked to see who the letter was from. He didn't quite recognize the hand-writing on the front, so he opened it up, it ended up being from Hermione. It read:
Dear Harry,
I hope your summer has been good so far. I've been having a good time, I'm still so sorry about Sirius though. You know, I had the weirdest dream last night, you were in it, and we were dancing, I don't know why but it felt so real. But it ended because my mum woke me for breakfast. I don't know what was up with that dream. But have you talked to Ron lately? I hear he's been helping his brother's out with their new joke shop, so immature of them. Well I have to get going, my mum's taking me shopping today.
From Hermione
Harry read the letter over once more, he hadn't heard from Ron so far this summer, he was wondering why, seeing as how they were best friends. He had also been wondering about Fred and George's joke shop. Ron, of course was Harry's best mate at Hogwarts, and Fred and George were his brother's in total Ron has 6 siblings; Fred and George, who are twins, Ginny, Percy, Bill, and Charlie. All of them had flaming red hair and a handful of freckles. Harry was wondering how Ron and the rest of his family were doing, so he decided to write him;
Hey Ron,
I haven't heard from so far this summer so I decided I'd write. How have you been? And how is the business going with Fred and George? I hope you've been having a decent summer, I've been feeling kind of down lately, but there's nothing I can do about it. You know what else? I think I'm starting to fall for Hermione, I mean, I've been dreaming about her lately. It's so strange. Well send me a reply mate. I wanna hear from you.
From Harry
He decided he would let Hedwig rest and send the letter in the morning, for now he wanted to get to sleep.
As he slept his dreams were much different from the night before. He was recalling the past events leading up too Sirius' death. It was a terrible dream, he remembered screaming his name, and Remus holding him back. He still couldn't believe that Sirius, his only family, his godfather, was gone. He woke up in a cold sweat, and started to think about everything that had happened during the last school year. His least favorite memory, besides having to see Sirius' death, was Umbridge. That horrible woman. He could still recall the way she had treated him, he could never forget her detentions, he had the remnants of the words 'I must not tell lies' etched permanently in the back of his hand. He decided that since he was up he would send his letter to Ron, so he headed for Hedwig, who was perched on the windowsill, Harry assumed she had gone out for a hunt while he was sleeping. He tied the letter to her outstretched leg and she flew off.
Harry sat on his bed, and started to remember his dream from the previous night. 'I wonder what would have happened if it hadn't ended. and I wonder about what Hermione said, about her dream, it sounded similar to mine,' Harry started saying out loud.
***************
Hedwig arrived in the window, she had a letter and a package attached to her leg. Harry relieved her of her burdens and sat on his bed to see what they were. When he looked at the letter he knew it was from Ron;
Harry, I'm doing really well, I've been busy helping the twins out with their store. They're paying me to work here, which means I'll have some extra spending money for Hogwarts! Are you sure your falling for Hermione? I mean, maybe you just think you are because of the dreams. But that would be cool if you two started dating, it would be my two best friends together! I'm so scared about going back to school, remember, I'm still the keeper for the team. Well, Fred and George say hi! And they wanted me to send you a sample of one of their latest products. It's really interesting actually. It's kind of ball that bounces, kind of like a muggle toy they heard of, but after you bounce it a number of times it will stop in mid-air and every time you try and grab it, it sprays you with this ink stuff that disappears. well I got to get going, the guys need me to restock on the ton- tongue toffees. Oh yeah, and my mom would like to know if you want to come and stay with us in a few days, you can stay with us for your birthday!!
From Ron
Harry was overjoyed at the idea of not spending his birthday with the Dursleys. He quickly wrote a reply saying he'd love to stay there and sent Hedwig on her way. He decided that when he saw Ron in person they would get more of a chance to talk about everything. He was really looking forward to seeing one of his best friends for the first time this summer.
