**Chapter 2: Really good news**

Gimme a break, I just started. This story has a long way to go.**Alicia**

**Three hours later**

Harry tried to lie down in his bed but he hurt so much. So instead of lying down, he went to the bathroom to see how much damage that insufferable git Vernon gave him. The Dursley's were downstairs in the kitchen so Harry decided to wait until Vernon and Petunia go to work and when Dudley goes to school. So he went back to his room and sat on his bed. About 15 minutes later, he heard a bus drive up and a car pull away. That meant that the Dursley's were gone for the day. Harry was now free for about seven hours. But, just as he got up, a large barn owl swooped in from his open window. He recognized it as one of the Hogwarts owls. The owl was carrying two letters. And they were both very thick. Harry walked towards the owl and unwrapped the package. When he was done, the owl zoomed back through the window. Harry sat down and opened the smallest letter. It was actually two letters in one. One letter was from Ron and the other was from Hermione. He read Ron's letter first. It read:

Dear Harry, How ya been. I hope that those muggles are treating you good. I haven't heard from ya in a long time. I got worried. Write me back if ur ok. k. Just think Harry, only two weeks till Hogwarts. Well, gotta go. Ive gotta denome the yard before mum finds them in her garden. Good Luck. You're Friend, RON

He put the letter down and picked up Hermione's letter. This one he could actually read cause it wasn't so sloppy. It read:

Dearest Harry, Are you ok. I haven't heard from you in a while. I hope that your ok. Ive got a surprise for you. Take a wild guess. Too late, I was made Prefect. I'm so happy. I can't wait till school starts. I don't know who the other Prefect was but I have a good idea on who it is. Well, see you at Diagon Alley. Bye.

Love From, Hermione

He folded up her letter and stared at the large package sitting on his stand. He grabbed the package and ripped it open with great force. He opened the envelope with the lump in it first. When he opened the flap, a badge fell out. He didn't even bother looking at it but instead started reading the letter. It read:

HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY (Headmaster Dumbledore, Grand Sorcerer, Chief Warlock ect.)

Harry couldn't believe it. "I was made prefect" Harry yelled over and over. He decided to write a letter to Ron and Hermione to tell them the news. So he sat down super fast and started writing as fast as he could while he forgot about the giant brooze on his back.
