To Harry's surprise he had finished his homework early this summer and now he felt bored staying in Mrs. Figg's house. Even though he was able to write to his friends Ron and Hermione more often and received more presents than usual, it still wasn't the same. In fact, they were prohibited to visit Harry and Harry wasn't allowed to leave the house without permission, apparently there was some sort of spell around the house that stopped him from getting out.
Even Mrs. Figg would converse with him as little as possible; he would spend his entire day in his room or watching muggle TV (which he didn't find entertaining at all). It wasn't until one day when he went down to breakfast that Mrs. Figg greeted him happily.
"Good Morning Harry, did you have a good night sleep?"
Harry replied with a bit of surprise,"Er.. Yes, thank you"
"You know, today were going to buy your school supplies, you only have one week before school starts"
"OK" said Harry with a dead look in his face
"Your friends are going to meet you there"
"Ron and Hermione?"
"Yes, I send them both an owl and they agreed to meet you there, in fact Hagrid has agreed to accompany you and yur friend while you shop for you school supplies"
Harry didn't know what to say, he was finally going to see his friends after all, he was so happy that he couldn't help smiling
"So go get ready, we're leaving in half an hour"
Harry ran up the stairs and entered his room picking out the first thing he found and putting it on. After getting dressed he grabbed his school list and ran down the stairs.
