Harry Potter And the Grims Deep Sword



Chapter I
Home Sweet Home



As night begins to fall on Pivet Drive, Harry was in his little bedroom wondering when he will receive a letter from Ron or Hermione. With only being 2 weeks into summer, he can't wait until 6th year to come. "Bang" Bang", at the door. With a waddle , came Dudley. "Honesty Harry must you sulk over those pitiful creatures, as you call friends". "Those are my friends Dudley and if I were you I'd watch out what you say", said Harry with anger. "Dudley, my sweet dinner is ready", bellowed Aunt Petunia. Dudley smirked at Harry and left downstairs like he hadn't eaten in days. Harry soon followed. As he reached the platform at the bottom of the stairs, he heard some unusual noises, like an animal of some sort.
"Aunt Petunia, was that a dog?", questioned Harry. Uncle Vernon bellowed, "Yes of course you foolish boy, don't you know what a dog is or do they not exist in your pathetic excuse of a world". "I know what a dog is, but what is one doing here?" asked Harry. "For our protection" squeaked Dudley, "from unpleasant things such as you" Uncle Vernon added. As Harry looked down, he saw this huge furry bear like dog that had a long narrow body, with a small head and monster teeth. This thing was all black with one spot of gray on this tail. Harry soon stepped backwards and questioned, "That's a dog?" "Yes Harry and if you make one false move, he'll eat you up like a cream filled pie" interrupted Dudley.
Harry felt nervous all throughout dinner, wondering if that monster of a dog would actually try and eat him. Later, after Harry was finished with cleaning up the kitchen, he quickly went upstairs away from that dog, later hearing Dudley named him Fang. What a coincidence that Hagrid had a dog named Fang to. With that thought, he remembered Hogwarts. The only place where he could actually call home.
A few weeks had pasted and Harry learned how move around the house without facing that dog. With after being a month into summer, Harry still hadn't received any letters from Ron or Hermione. Later that night, Harry was very quiet, trying to make sure that all of the Dursley's were asleep. After hearing a distant snore from Uncle Vernon, Harry went to Hedwig's cage and said, "Now Hedwig, you must be quick and deliver these letter's to Ron and Hermione". Hedwig squeaked and Harry quickly covered her with a blanket. Still hearing the snoring from his Aunt and Uncle's room, he took off the blanket. "You have to be quiet Hedwig" spoke Harry in a soft whisper. He then opened his window and Hedwig flew out and headed of in the direction of Ron's house. Harry still remembers when Uncle Vernon put those bars up before second year. He was thankful that Dumbledore was such a good wizard and made this Uncle take them off. That very next night, about 10 o'clock, he heard this little this TAP, TAP, TAP and sure enough it was Hedwig. She looked awfully tired and Harry quickly let her in. Hedwig sure enough had visited the Weasleys, as Harry smelled chocolate chip cookies. Harry very quietly put Hedwig back in her cage and feed her some food. "Good girl Hedwig" as he put her back into the cage. Sure enough if was from Ron. He opened the bag and about 6 cookies came out and a letter. Harry opened the letter and began to read it as he started on the cookies.



Harry,

Hope your alright haven't heard from you. I was so trilled when Hedwig showed up. Hope you enjoy the cookies me mum sent for ya, she made me send some. They better be treating you right or I'll come down there and personally wap them. Me mum and dad want to you come and visit as soon as you can. See you soon
Ron



Harry felt relieved that he was invited to the Dursleys again, as he popped another cookie in his mouth. " I just hope they let me" Harry thought. Harry Then picked up another letter and it was from Hermione.


Dear Harry,

Hello Harry, I hope your doing well. I was glad to see Hedwig. She looked hungry so I feed her for you, hope you don't mind. I have your birthday gift for you, Hedwig couldn't carry it, so I will give it to you on the train. Good news, I got asked to be a prefect again, isn't that great. Well I gotta go, see you at the train.
Your Friend,
Hermione



After reading these letters, Harry felt better that people actually cared for him. Harry soon went to bed and waited anxiously for the next morning to ask Uncle Vernon if he could visit the Dursleys. Morning soon came and Harry quickly ran downstairs and went over the Uncle Vernon. "Uncle Vernon, can I perhaps leave a little sooner this year, I was invited" with being interrupted by his uncle. " You mean you want to leave here early and we wont see you until next summer" Uncle Vernon asked. "Yes, but" Harry started. "That's fine with me and I appreciate if you could be out tomorrow". Harry just smiled and replied "Of course, I'll write Ron". Harry has never ever wanted to hug his uncle until now. Harry ran upstairs and quickly wrote Ron to come and get him. That night Harry was already packed and was waiting impatiently. The Following night, he heared this motor running and Harry new from that moment it was the flying car. "Hi ya Harry" yelled Ron and behind him was Fred and George. "Hi Ron … Fred… and George". Harry quickly threw his trunk and items in and they were off. No more Dursley's until next year, Harry thought. As they flew off into the sky, Ron turned around and saw this big dog barking at them. "What was that Harry?" Harry replied with ,"You don't want to know."
BUMP, BUMP, and Harry and Ron woke up. Fred was just landing the car in front of the Weasley house and lets just say, he was never the most graceful driver of the family. "Good thing my stomach wasn't full Fred" Ron hastily told Fred. "Oh don't be such a wimp Ron" George told Ron. They soon walked inside and right when Harry entered the house Mrs. Weasley grabbed Harry and Squeezed him tight. "It's been so long Harry, and by the looks of you, you need some fattening up." "I'm fine, really" replied Harry. "Well we can catch up with you when were having breakfast, Harry I'm sure you are hungry." "Yes, mum we all are" Ron Quickly answered. A few minutes later, after they were seated at the table, Ginny came trotting down the stairs. "Harry… you're here already" Ginny questioned. "I guess so" replied Harry. Ginny quickly sat down on the side of Harry before Ron could sit down, making him go to the other side of Harry. "So Ginny", Harry spoke, " This going to be your 5th year, right?" "You actually remembered what year I am in?" Ginny jittery asked. " Well Ron told be a long time ago you were only one year behind us."
"Yes Ginny so get over it" Ron uttered. Moments later Mr. Weasley walked through the door looking quite messy. "Harry its good to have you back here with us, your staying the rest of the summer, right?" "Yes Sir, if that's ok?", said Harry. Arthur quickly answered " Of course it is my boy, now what's for breakfast?"
"Oh that reminds me, we were all invited to a dinner and the Minister's House."
"WHAT" Mrs. Weasley quickly said. "Yes my dear and I said yes" Arthur replied. "I can't believe it, why would you accept". "What's wrong with that, I work in the Ministry and Cornelius Fudge personally asked me". "All right Arthur, said Mrs. Weasley, but we should of discussed it first". "What about Harry, dad?" asked Ron. " Mr. Fudge already told me to bring him". "He really told you I could come" glittered Harry. " But I have nothing to wear". "That's no problem Harry, Just wear your nicest School Robe", Mrs. Weasley said. Ron quickly added, " This is great, all we need is to go to a big ball at the Minister's house and eat nothing but food we can't pronounce and …… That's enough Mrs. Weasley interrupted. "Well make the best of it, like we always do".
