Chapter 1 - Misery from The Dursleys

Harry lay awake wondering what this year at Hogwarts was going to be like. Since every year he had close encounters with death; voldemort taking possesion of the back of Quirrels head: wanting the Philosphers Stone. The Chamber Of Secrets opening, petrifing students, everyone thinking he was Slythreins Heir, Sirius Black, Harry thought was out to kill him. And last year meeting Voldemort again after the third task of the Triwizard tournement.

Harry remembered Cedric Diggory a nice lad who died not long ago because of him,Harry. Since Voldemort was hoping Harry would win the Triwizard tournement, but him and Cedric drawed. They travelled to Voldemort from the cup into his trap.Where Voldemort killed Cedric, then hoping he would kill Harry next but failed, again.

Then Harry decided not to worry about what already had happened, and decided to get on with his school work, he needed to do. Since he was entering his fifth year at Hogwarts he had alot of homework to do.

Hedwig swooped in through the open window carrying a letter. Harry got out of bed walked up to her, untied the letter and read:

Harry,
I hope you are well and are keeping out of trouble. I've been to see Viktor over the summer and i have arranged to meet him again.
Cya soon, Hermione.

Harry picked up a piece of parchment and wrote:

Hermione,
Good to know you're alright. I'm bored stiff here. Can't wait to go back to Hogwarts, when shall we meet up in Diagon Alley?
Harry,

He got up, placed the letter on his bedside table, since he thought Hedwig a rest. He went back to his homework, and decided to go to sleep 3 hours later.

Early next morning Harry heard Aunt Petunia open the door slightly and slide in his breakfast. The Dursleys were still very annoyed with Harry about the incident last year, when one of Fred and Georges Ton-Tongue Toffees had been dropped onto the floor.Dudley had decided to eat it and his tongue was four foot long.The Durslyes started to ignore him again, but weren't too extreme(they were scared Sirius may come through the door any moment if they mistreated Harry).

Harry got out of bed and dressed, starving he strode over to the tray which had cereal and orange juice on it. He had his breakfast, Hedwig woke up so Harry fed her the remains of his breakfast. Afterwards he gave her the letter for Hermione then Hedwig flew away, into the distance.

A brown owl was swooping towards him carrying another letter, it dropped the letter then flew back out the window. Harry realised it was a school owl from Hogwarts.It read:

Fifth year students will need the following books:
An Easy Step-by-Step Guide To Appartion-Fleur Delacour
Standard Book Of Spells, Grade 5-Miranda Goshawk
Beast or Pet?-Ronald Demlow

Harry realised the part veela girl who competed in the Triwizard tournment had written a book on appartion, he thought for a moment that she might be their teacher at Hogwarts. She did mention about she might be coming back this year...

Two days later Harry got a reply from Hermione:

Harry, I bet Fleur Delacour is our teacher, because she did write that book and she said she might be coming back this year. Great more Ron googling at her!But why are we starting apparation a year early? Im a prefect by the way!!
Cya Soon Hermione

She did have a good point, why apparation a year early? He wrote a reply tio Hermione congradulating her. He still hadn't got a message from Ron about going over the summer why?

Harry's stomach rumbled, he was starving. He had had enough with The Dursleys, he climbed out of his window after packing up his trunk and carrying Hedwigs cage. He took the Knight Bus, had some rest, then he walked off the bus, watching it magickally disappear.

He walked through the streets of London heading towards the Leaky Cauldron, a pub. When it came into view, he booked a room til the 1st of September when the Hogwarts Express would be leaving.

Over the week he did some shopping in Diagon Alley, he had all his books, already. He remembered when he did this two years ago.Harry mainly hung out by the Ice Cream Parlour, the sun shining on him, mostly catching up with homework.

Two nights before his birthday his owl,Headwig, returned to him. He was surprised because he would think it would be harder for him to find him. He gave her some food and she nibbled his finger, showing her affection.

Surprised that she hadn't brought him a letter from Hermione, he went straight to bed. Still awake in his bed the clock stroke midnight. One day till his birthday...he couldn't help thinking one day till something bad will happen.
