As soon as the boy walked in the Dursleys froze. While Harry walked slowly
down the stairs.
"So… I'm John how nice it is to meet you," He said trying to stir up some sort of conversation.
"Uhh yes hello" Grunted Vernon.
There was a period of silence where everyone seemed to look at each other in a strange way. Then this guy did something Harry might think was crazy. He went over and brought Vernon and Petunia into a big hug. Vernon pushed away but didn't say anything but he did look like he was about to vomit. Petunia was polite about it and looked happy for a few seconds until it seemed she was coming to her senses.
"Well uhh I guess it best to show you your room" Petunia said trying to change the subject.
"Well I guess that would seem the right thing to do" John said.
"Boy grab our guests things right now" Vernon bellowed at Harry.
"Yeah get moving Harry, HAHA" Laughed Dudley who finally spoke up.
Harry went to do this but suddenly John shot Dudley a look and seemed to hand him something.
"Oh no Harry let me I insist" declared Dudley and before anyone could stop him he grabbed the trunk and started carrying it up the stairs. Vernon grunted at the sight but kept his mouth shut.
All of them then walked up the stairs and into Harry's room.
"This is it and don't worry the boy will be out of here immediately" said Petunia.
"Oh no this is quite all right Harry shouldn't have to leave on a count of me and I could always take the floor."
"There's the guest room" Chirped in Dudley.
"Shut up Son" Vernon growled. "Any way that's for my sister Marge, she's visiting".
"Oh crap" Harry thought to himself.
"Oh don't worry about me I can just sleep on the floor it's no big deal for me, as long as Harry thinks it's okay, huh Harry" John asked as he gave Harry a nice pat on the back.
"Uh of course no trouble" Harry said.
"Fine, have it your way, dinner is in a few hours" Petunia said as she and Vernon walked off and went downstairs grumbling and muttering to themselves. But Dudley kind of sat there.
"Anything else I can do for you guys, huh, huh," He inquired cheerfully.
"No that will be all Dudley, Harry and I need to talk" John said.
"Yes no problem" Dudley said and ran off while Harry kind of sat there bewildered.
When Dudley was out of sight John closed the door.
"So Harry anything wrong" John inquired.
"Well a few things for one, what has gotten into Dudley, he's lazy as all hell and really mean," Harry said.
"Oh I just gave him a little of a tuner upper you see I slipped him some candy he took it and well it had a little something in it to make him a little nicer" John said smiling.
"Fred and George would love this guy". Harry though to himself. "So you're a wizard?" Harry inquired.
"Why of course, I was wondering how long my famous cousin would take to figure it out".
"So that's why the Dursleys were acting so weird"
"Of course they are they give muggles a bad name, but don't worry about them they might not be afraid of you but my father terrifies them."
"What do you mean"?
"Don't tell me those people haven't told you anything about the rest of your family, what are they heartless, I know they are ignorant fools but still."
Harry stood there looking confused.
"Oh sorry, well you see first of all your mother my mother and Aunt Petunia are all sisters, well my mother got a job in the Ministry right after she left Hogwarts and met my father through the Department of International Wizard Cooperation, he was an American, and then he took the job of posing as a muggle to infiltrate American Muggle Government, he was elected as a Senator, which is an important position among Muggles not to mention both he and Mom are very powerful wizards, and well since they are related to the Dursleys they have some what of an influence over them and are entitled to use a little magic on them to keep them in line, even though the last few years we've kind of been busy, so sorry about that whole room prison thing, we didn't find out till after the Wesley's saved you."
"Okay that explains some thing's but why didn't I go to live with you when my parents died"
"Oh that's because Dumbledore deemed it wise to keep you out of the public eye and since he felt that we would be to high profile and he wanted to keep you hidden from the rest of the magic world".
"Oh well thanks for clearing all that up but why are you hear now, after all this time"
"Oh well first of all under the circumstances with You know who we all thought that it was time you get connected to your relatives and I was also chose as part of an exchange program with Hogwarts, you see I'm a 6th year at Rozerzanks, the American sister school of Hogwarts, a prefect from Franklin house high scores "talented" all that jazz not that it's important, at times I find it irritating, but when I found out I have the chance to finish at Hogwarts and be near the cousin I've never known I leapt at the chance, so here I am, oh and by the way Franklin is the Griffindor of my school so I exchanged with one of your prefects."
"So that's good I guess having you in Griffindor, but this is all so confusing".
"Oh so sorry some times I go on and don't realize it, so sorry Harry".
"Oh it's all right at least it's good to know I have more family then the Dursleys".
Suddenly there some loud hooting from Hedwig and another Owl breaks up conversation.
"Oh you have post"
Harry walked over and untied the mail from both owls giving both a chance to drink much to the dismay of Hedwig. He then went and unwrapped the mail; one was from Hogwarts the other from Hagrid.
"Oh look Hagrid got me a cake, and what looks like Treacle fudge, uhh do you want any?"
"Oh no my parents warned me about Hagrid's cooking, they knew him when they went, oh and I almost forgot, Happy Birthday."
Harry felt weird for a minute not once had those words been uttered to Harry at Privet Drive or by a blood relative.
"Oh thanks"
"Oh and the family and I got you something"
"Oh really thanks."
John handed him a small package that Harry unwrapped and opened to find a strange gold sash that Harry stared at in awe.
"What is it?"
"Oh my god you really don't know anything about our family do you, well I'll show you but tonight okay, but I will tell you it's a family tradition to have one, I do, they were forged by Great-Grandfather Harold Evans, but I'll tell you the rest later."
Harry nodded and then picked up what looked like a letter from Hogwarts and it had a strange bump in it and he opened it and first grabbed the letter and started reading.
"Dear Mr. Potter,
Do to your bravery, high marks, determination, and dedication to school and fellow beings, you have been chosen as a Prefect. Do not abuse this responsibility and do your best to portray you deserve such an honor. Good Luck and we will see you at the beginning of the semester. BTW the password is mouse hole.

Inside he found his prefect badge as well as the usual stuff he got every year.
"Congrats you're a prefect."
"Thanks."
Harry was happy to be a prefect but he just hoped that Hermione and Ron were give such an honor as well. They continued chatting friendly until they were interrupted.
"Dinner now" Yelled Petunia.
"Why now" Harry groaned.
"Oh don't worry Harry we aren't staying for dinner" John said smiling. "Just follow my lead."
The two went downstairs and stood in the kitchen doorway while the Dursleys all went to sit down.
"Well aren't you going to sit down" Asked Vernon "bloody freaks" He muttered to himself.
"Actually we have plans thanks anyway, well bye now we'll be home sooner or later".
"What is the meaning of this" Bellowed Vernon.
"You heard me, Uncle we have plans" John said calmly while Harry seemed to get a little nervous. But John just gave his Uncle a strange stare and the discussion was over.
"Well bye, come on Harry"
"Bye everyone"
They all grunted except Dudley.
"Bye all have fun"
The two smiled at each other and ran upstairs.
"Well what exactly are these plans" Asked Harry.
"Oh well we are going to a party" John said.
"How are we going, by Floo Powder, the Knight Bus, how"
"No take out your sash and follow me to the window and listen" John said as he took out his sash and smiled.
"So… I'm John how nice it is to meet you," He said trying to stir up some sort of conversation.
