Chapter 2

Harry waited excitedly for Wednesday to come. When it finally came, Harry cheaked and doubled checked his room to see if he had everything. He lugged his trunk and boxes downstairs to the trunk of the car, and walked into the kitchen. He saw Uncle Vernon reading the paper and eating his toast, eggs, and bacon. Aunt Petunia was across from him eating some fruit. Vernon glared at him. "Do you have your…. things out of that room. "Yes Uncle Vernon," Harry said eating some eggs and toast. "Good," Petunia sneered. "We'll need that room for the new baby." Harry thought he would gag. His aunt was expecting a baby in the spring. He finished his food and walked back upstairs one last time to see if he forgot anything. He looked around his now empty room. 16 years of torchure would finally come to an end. "Boy," Vernon's voice yelled. "Get down here now, I'm ready to go!" "I'm coming," Harry yelled back. He looked around his room again and walked out shutting the door behind him.



Harry walked into Diagon Alley after leaving his things in the room in the Leaky Cauldron. After taking some money out of his account at Gringotts, he started searching for Ron and Hermione. "Where are they? Probably somewhere making out." Ron and Hermione had been going out since their sixth year. Harry was ok with it, but he always felt like a third wheel when they kissed and held hands. Harry was so caught up in his thoughts; he didn't see the person in front of him. Next thing he knew, he was on the ground, packages everywhere. He looked up and found he had ran into a girl, a very pretty girl. She had long black hair and sparking brown eyes. "I'm so sorry," Harry said helping the girl up. "No, I'm sorry," the girl said, "I was looking for Madam Malkins, and I guess I wasn't watching where I was going." The girl started picking up her packages. "You were headed the right direction. I'll take you there, I'm heading there myself." Harry said helping the girl with her packages. "Thank you so much uh…." "Harry Potter," Harry said smiling. The girl's eyes widened. "Harry Potter, I never thought I see you here pen pal." Harry stared at her. "Serena Simms," Serena smiled, "Yes," Harry hugged her. "It's nice to finally meet you Serena." "You too Harry," Serena said hugging him back. "I'm so glad I ran into someone I know." The two started walking. "So, are you here with your uncle," Harry asked. "Yes I am, he's around here somewhere. He had to find his godson." They walked into the robe shop. Harry waited patently as Serena was fitted for her robes and uniform. Harry got a few things he needed and they walked out. "Hey Harry!" Harry turned and saw Ron and Hermione, hand in hand, walk up to him and smile. "I told Hermione we would find you," Ron said. He looked at Serena, "Who's the pretty girl?" Harry smiled. "Guys, this is Serena Simms, my pen pal from America I told you about." Serena smiled. "You two must be Ron and Hermione, Harry has told me all about you in his letters." Ron and Hermione smiled. "Harry, Ron and I are heading to the Flourish and Blotts to get our books, would you and Serena like to come along?" Harry smiled. "Sorry guys, I can't go, I have to meet up with Sirius." "And I have to meet my uncle" Serena said. "But you're welcome to visit me, I'll send you an owl." Hermione smiled. "Ron and I would love to, I want to get to know you better." "Hermione, we better get going, my mum will think we're doing something if we're not at the bookstore," Ron said taking her hand. "Bye Harry, bye Serena." The two made their way up the street. Serena turned to Harry and smiled. "Who's Sirius, my uncle's name is Sirius." Harry smiled. "Sirius Black is my godfather, I'm spending the rest of the summer with him." Serena's eyes went wide again. "You're the godson!" Harry looked at her, "And you're the niece!" They stared at each other. "Harry, Serena!" a voice called out to them. The two turned and saw the figure of Sirius Black. He walked up to them and smiled. "Well, this is nice, you two have already met. I had a feeling you would find each other." He smiled. "You two ready to go? I already have your things in the car Harry." "I'm ready," Harry said still in a state of shock, "so am I," Serena said. The three started walking to the muggle exit. "Well Harry, we'll both be living in the same place for the summer. This should be fun," Serena said smiling. "Yeah," Harry said smiling back, "Very fun."

AN: Well, Harry and Serena are going to live together at Sirius'. What fun will be had? Will feelings develop that is more than friendship? I'm not telling you, you will just have to wait till chapter three! Please r/r.
