Warning! My chapters tend to be short. Sorry. Story starts now!

"Just a boy?" She asked, looking at Harry, who appeared to be dirty and underfed due to his extremely large `hand-me-down' clothing. "Just a boy?"
"Umm, that's my cousin Harry. He's diseased and we keep him up here so our guests don't catch his filth." Dudley made up. "Perhaps you should leave and we'll do this another day?" He suggested.
"Of course." Morgan answered, turning to follow Dudley out of the room, dropping a bit of parchment on her way out. Harry looked at it and quickly shoved it in his pocket.

"How dare you! Unlock the door? Funny, you thought!" Vernon screamed at Harry after Morgan left.
"But I had the..." Harry started.
"No food! No anything! You will stay in your room for the remainder of the summer!" Vernon interrupted, his face as red as a tomato. Harry sighed and got up. No use in arguing. He trudged up to his room, Vernon in tow with a steel chain and padlock.
"I had the door locked!" Harry said to himself, falling onto his bed. CHINK! The padlock snapped in the all too familiar sound. "How'd she get the door open?" Suddenly, he remembered the note she had dropped and dug it out of his pocket.
Harry Potter,
My name is Morganna Angelus and I am in dire need of your assistance. I have been accepted into Hogwarts and am in your year. Please help me.
Morganna Angelus
"Magic! Duh!" He said, hitting himself on the head. She had used magic and she was underage! It must be important for her to disobey the rules. Just then, there was a small SQUAWK! as Pig flew in, hooting nonstop, and banged into his head. "Stay still." He hissed, trying to catch the hyperactive fluffball. Finally, after a long struggle, he caught his friend's owl.
Harry,
Mum says you can come over. We'll come get you soon. She sent a letter to the Muggles, but I don't know if you have it yet. I'll see you tomorrow at 5 o'clock. `Til then!
Ron
Ps. You'll be here for your birthday!
Harry laughed and scribbled quickly that he was locked in his room and tied it to Pig's leg only to have the owl zoom back out the window.
"I need you to take a letter to Sirius for me." He told his snow-white owl.
Sirius
I'm going to be at Ron's if you need to reach me. Can you believe it? I'll be over there for my birthday! I need to go pack my things. I'll write soon.
Harry
He tied it to his owl's leg. Hedwig hooted softly and nipped his finger before spreading her huge wings and taking flight. Harry turned to his clock. 2:38. He had wasted his whole morning. He pulled out his trunk and began to pack the things he needed for school.
"Lunch!" Aunt Petunia screeched, shoving some semi-warm stew through the little slot Uncle Vernon added made for that purpose. "What are you doing boy?"
"I'm cleaning, Aunt Petunia." He lied, grabbing his food. Cold stew, hard black bread, and stale water again. Only one night. He thought to himself, shoving the food into his mouth and returning the plates.
