1 Jealousy and Birthdays
Harry woke up. He could hear something down stairs. He looked at his clock to make sure Dudley wasn't raiding the fridge for a mid night feast. He climbed out of bed suddenly feeling the cold.
Harry walked into the living room finding aunt Petunia sitting on the floor with Harry's wand trying to make a pencil float. "Aunt Petunia?"
"Look Harry it's working it's working."
"Er yeah. Is that my wand?"
"Oh yes I borrowed it I also borrowed this charms book now I have all these powers I don't know what to do with them."
"You do remember what they're for?"
"Why yes Harry they're here to look after you. But how can I protect you with them if I can't even use them? Now how do you turn Dudley into a pig"
"Aunt Petunia!"
"It's a joke. God don't they teach you any thing at that school." Aunt Petunia then proceeded into a fit of giggles.
"Sorry Harry but I've wanted magic all my life, I just never told any one. I hate, or should I say hated being a muggle as you called me. When I found you on the doorstep I knew, I knew I'd have to hate you as well. I loved Lily I just resented her
too much. She got every thing, the magic, the looks and the personality to go with it."
"Someone once told me that out choices make who were are, far more then our abilities. So you choose to be bitter and resentful."
"Exactly, but now I don't have anything to resent. The only things I wish I could do is go to your school and learn magic like you do. Could you help me?"
"Well I can't use magic until I go back to Hogwarts and every thing though I suppose I can help you. Tech you the theory though I think Hermione would be better at that. No wait Mrs Figg lives down the road maybe she can help you."
Just then Hedwig swooped in with a letter in her beck and a parcel. In came a battered owl that looked like it had gone past it's sell by date a huge eagle owl, a tawny owl and pig. Harry relieved the battered owl, which was Errol. It had a parcel that contained a huge cake from Mrs Weasley. In the letter, which turned out to be a birthday card it said
'Happy Birthday Harry. Hope you like the cake. Dad is really busy with work and every thing. Fred and George bought me, some dress robes, I can't believe it. This is Errol's last flight as we decided to get a new owl. Percy is getting more money as he is now head of department and so is dad. Guess what we got a house elf; mum is so happy, even ecstatic. We're going to get all our Hogwarts stuff on the 9th August. Can you come? Send your message through Pig.
See you soon Ron
Right on queue an owl bearing the Hogwart's crest flew in. Harry ripped the letter of it and it immediately flew away. Harry decided to open the one from the Tawny owl. He recognized Hermione's handwriting.
' Dearest Harry, I hope you are well. I am still at Victors but I'm coming home tomorrow- earlier then expected because Victors parents didn't seem to like me, they think that the only reason I like Victor is because he's famous, I think it's because they found out that I'm friends with you and every thing and that I am looking for people who are famous, honestly. Any way I wish you a very happy birthday. I got the Hogwarts school list today I'm so excited. We're going to go to Diagon alley on the 9th August I hope you can come.
Love Hermione.'
Harry then opened his present inside it was a magazine which was called Quidditch and on the front cover was none other then Hermione with Krum. A note was also attached to the magazine
'I signed you up for this magazine. It comes once a fortnight I hope you enjoy it.'
Harry then decided to check what Pig had brought him. Ron had given him some floo powder. Harry looked at it amazed. There was no note, nothing. Harry then chose the eagle owl it was a present from Sirius it was a broomstick navigation kit. It had a compass (you told it where you wanted to go and then the north, south, east and west disappeared and in north was B where South should be it said wrong way, on west is said to far left and on the eat it said to far right.) It also had a map of England in some type of computer screen thing it told you where you are and how far your destination is. He then opened Hedwig's, which were a range of Harry's favourite sweets from Hagrid. He then took his school list out

Harry looked up and there staring straight into his eyes was Aunt Petunia. Harry gasped, "I forgot you were there"
"What are all these?"
"My birthday presents"
"Is it your birthday? What do you want to do today?
"Er…"
"The zoo, how about Thorpe Park?"
"Yeah I've never been to a theme park"
"What's this"?
Aunt Petunia was holding up the letter from Ron "Can I come"
"Come where?"
" To what is this? Di-ag-on alley Diagon alley. Lily never asked me if I wanted to come."
"Sure you should get an owl, and a wand and maybe start a Gringotts account"
"Gringotts?"
"A wizard bank"
"Oh"
Dudley walked down and walked in, and saw aunt Petunia holding Harry's wand laughing, he squeaked and then waddled off.
