As usual Harry Potter, of 4 Privet Dr., was ready to go back to school at Hogwarts, the school of witchcraft and wizardry. The first of September was only a week away. Harry was also excited to get a letter from his bestfriend, Ron. Who, once again, was inviting Harry over for the summer. Ron was a tall guy with red hair. He had mostly grown out of his freckles and his big feet now fit him.

Harry was laying on his small bed. His sheets were torn and stained. These were Dudley's old sheets, no doubt. In fact, practically everything Harry owned was worn in by Dudley. Harry looked across the room to see his snowy white owl's cage. Hedwig was flying off somewhere, probably trying to catch a scurrying mouse. It was dark and the sky was not clear blue but rather black. The clouds stood out white on this dark background. He could here Dudley and Uncle Vernon snoring. Aunt Petunia was also asleep, he knew this because he could hear her mumbling words.

Harry sat up in his bed. This was like the many nights he had before school had started. He was lonely, he was tired of being alone. He wasn't really alone but, his "family" was rather mean to him, they never paid attention to him and were rather glad that he was going to Hogwarts. Not glad because, he was accepted to the best magic school in the world but, glad because, he was gone for 9 months or the year.

'finally' he thought. He jumped out of bed to see Pig, Ron's messenger owl, come zooming through the window screeching. Hedwig was chasing him.

"Hush you git!" Harry warned Pig, He really didn't want the Dursleys to wake up. Harry jumped up a grabbed Pig. " Get in your cage Hedwig and don't torment this little bird," Harry scowled at his white owl. Hedwig didn't appreciate this comment. Harry untied the note from Pig's scrawny brown leg. Pig fluffed his feathers and sat on the edge of Harry's bed. The letter was from Ron and read.

Harry,

How's everything at the muggle house? Well, Everything is good here but, Mom wants me to invite you over for the last week of summer. We can go to Diagon Alley together and get our new things for Hogwarts... 8 new books! Can you believe that? Blimey! Oh, that reminds me, Hermione is here all ready and she's staying for the last week too. Well, I like the idea of you coming over. Ask the muggles or something and send your answer back with that crazy little git of an owl. Hope to hear from you soon!

Ron

Harry really wanted to go to Ron's. It was started to become a tradition to go. Harry decided to keep Pig over night so that he could ask the Dursleys in the morning.

Even though, Harry was excited he laid down because, he was so sleepy. His last visions were of Hogwarts. A new Year, Fifths years to be exact. He already knew there'd be a new Defense Against Dark Arts teacher. He couldn't wait to start Quidditch, it had seemed like forever since he played. He also couldn't wait to see Cho, His crush. Maybe Hagrid found some kind of new... All his thoughts ended, for he was now asleep.
