Chapter 2
Floo-Powder
Harry woke up bright and early. He changed into a pair of jeans, and a red sweater. He was very excited. While he was trying to flatten his hair down, Hedwig came zooming in carrying a note and a small little bag. "Hey Hedwig, do you have something for me"? Harry asked. He took the letter and read it.
Hey Harry, I just wanted to say that I can't wait to see you in Diagon Alley. Hermione just send me an owl saying that she'll meet us at Ollivanders. So we'll see you there!
P.S. The little bag contains floo powder. You know what to do!
Ron
Now all he had to do was collect his trunk and Hedwig's cage, and he'll be able to go to Diagon Alley using the floo powder. Hedwig bit Harry playfully on his finger and hooted happily. "Yeah, I'm happy to see you too. You wait here okay, I'll go get some food for you", Harry said. Harry left his room and went downstairs to the kitchen, finding Uncle Vernon sitting at the table with his face hidden behind the newspaper as usual. Aunt Petunia was nowhere to be seen. Curiously, Harry had to ask Uncle Vernon. "Uhh.Uncle Vernon"? Harry said. He got his reply by a grunt behind the newspaper. "Where's Aunt Petunia"? Uncle Vernon put down his newspaper and looked curiously at Harry. "Why do you want to know"? Uncle Vernon asked. "I was just wondering", Harry said picking up a toast from the plate in front of him. Uncle Vernon grunted again. "She went out. And it's none of your business where she went. So no FUNNY business while I'm at work. And I better not find the house destroyed when I come home", Uncle Vernon said. "Well I can't stay anyways. I'm meeting Ron and Hermione in Diagon Alley. We're doing our shopping there", Harry explained. "Diagon Alley? What kind of rubbish is that"? Uncle Vernon said while sipping on his tea. He got up from the table and walked out of the kitchen. Harry followed. "I have to buy my school supplies from there though", Harry said. "How are you going to get there"? Uncle Vernon said with a nasty smirk on his face, which made Harry think he looked like a smirking tomato. "Floo-Powder. Err, its this other way of transportation", Harry said. Uncle Vernon grunted again. "I'll take that as a yes", Harry muttered while leaving the room. He gave half of his toast to Hedwig who hooted happily and took off again, and he stuffed the other half into his mouth. Harry finished packing the rest of his stuff and went downstairs, with the bag of floo powder in his pocket. "I'll be off now", Harry said. All he got was another grunt. Harry shrugged and went to the fireplace. He sprinkled some floo powder into the fire and said "Diagon Alley". The last thing he saw was Uncle Vernon staring at him wide eyed. Then he felt his feet leave the ground and after a few minutes, he was in Diagon Alley.
