Chapter 1

After another unforgettable year at Hogwarts school of witch craft and wizardry, Harry Potter was again forced to go live with is aunt and uncle (the Dursley's) for the summer holiday. This was most unfortunate even more so than usual because the previous summer Harry had accidentally blown up Uncle Vernions sister, after she was saying horrible things about Harry's parents. Because of that Harry was no longer living in his cousins, Dudly's, old room he was forced to live underneath the stairs, as he did before he found out he was a wizard, a famous wizard at that.

"One slice!" screamed Dudly outside of Harry's room

"But dad got two"

Dudly now weighed about the same as a small elephant and since last year Aunt Petunia had been attempting to slim him down after the school nurse called and insisted he go on a diet. Todays breakfast was an apple, or a slice of an apple.

"Alright darling, just don't go telling Mrs. Patty"

Harry was restless so he got up and went into the kitchen. "Bout Time!", exalamed Uncle Vernon, "Thought you'd sleep in all day didn't you!"

"I'm sorry Uncle Vernon" Harry said trying to sound sincere.

"Right then go take out the garbage and hurry back."

Harry picked up the garbage and headed outside. It was terribly hot and Harry wished he were back inside with the Air conditioning. He stopped sundely at the sight of a very pretty Muggle girl. She had blonde curly hair and brown eyes. She was tall and slim a lot like himself.

"Hello" She said

"H-h-hello" Harry stuttered stupidly

"It's bloody hot," she said wiping the sweat off her forehead.

Harry didn't respond to this because he didn't know what to say.

"It must be 120 degrees" she said trying to strike up a conversation.

"What's your name?" asked Harry

"What's yours?" She countered.

"I'm Harry," he held out his hand.

"I'm Kat," she took Harry's hand.

"Hey, my mom just made some Ice tea, do you want to come in and have some?" She asked sounding hopeful. Harry thought for a moment, "Sorry, but I have to take this to the trash," indicating the trash bag, "and I really should be getting inside"

Harry felt really bad. He would love more than anything to go inside and have some tea, but sadly he had to get back inside before his aunt and uncle got even more mad at him. "O-oh well," there was an awkward silence, "I guess I better go then." She sounded upset. Harry thought quickly. The Dursley's would be gone tomorrow. Heading to the Hatpin's residents, he would be home alone………. PERFECT!

"How about tomorrow?" He asked hoping she would agree. Kat smiled "Sounds Great, is around eleven alright?" Harry was about to answer, but…

"HARRY GET IN HERE NOW!!!" Aunt Petunia yelled at him from the kitchen door. "Well… I best be off, good-bye, I'll see you tomorrow" And he waved and headed inside.
