Why Didn't I See It?
Chapter 4~ Leaving Home
While the song was playing Harry got ready to go to Hermione's house. He thought that that song sounded kinda like him and Hermione, no he meant him and Cho didn't he? Was he in love with Hermione? He kept asking himself that while he was packing and before he knew it his room was almost empty. All that was left was the directions to Hermione's house and the newspaper clippings that Sirius had sent. Harry had almost forgotten to look at them. The first one was about Sirius and how the Ministry had figured out who they were really suppose to be after and it told people not to be alarmed if they saw Sirius walking around on the street. On the top of the second one was a picture of Albus Dumbldore and the headlines read "A Great Wizard, A Great Friend" It was a autobiography of Dumbldore's. Harry didn't know why Sirius had sent him this but he put it in his trunk along with the other clipping. Just then a thought hit him, he hadn't even asked the Dursleys if he could go to Hermione's house but they couldn't really do anything to stop him. He had a car a wand and they still didn't know that Sirius was innocent, he had never mentioned that the conviction was a misunderstanding or that he had been freed. Harry didn't think that was on the schedule for today either. He went over to Hedwig's cage and picked her up and set her on his trunk. Then he went downstairs to find the Dursleys. He didn't find them inside but when he went out into the front yard he saw his uncle Vernon washing his car, his aunt Petunia with her long neck over the fence spying on the neighbors and his cousin Dudley trying to hit the pigeons with a beebee gun. They looked like such a strange family, not what they were doing but the way they looked, Vernon and Dudley were by far the biggest men in Surrey and Petunia was the skinniest, and most disliked woman there. They didn't notice that Harry was standing there so he cleared his throat and they all looked at him with disgust.
"What do you want boy?" Uncle Vernon asked. "I'm going to go to my friend's house for the summer and I'm leaving in 15 minutes incase you wanted to know." Harry said like it was nothing at all. "Oh is that all, I thought it was something important." snarled Dudley. Harry glared at him and continued "I might not be back next summer so I am taking all my stuff. You can move back into the room you overgrown pig." At this Aunt Petunia stepped in "You aren't going anywhere until you apologize to my little Dudykinns" "The day I apologize to him is the day that he reaches 150 pounds. And just try and stop me going, I have a car, I have a wand, and I have a godfather that's a murderer. So I'd like to see you try and stop me!" Harry yelled and then he stormed back into the house and slammed the door leaving the Dursleys sanding in the street with all the neighbors starring at them in surprise. Harry took the stairs three at a time (since he had grown a few inches over the summer he could do this easily) He went into his room and grabbed his trunk, keys, and Hedwig in her cage and went back downstairs. When he came out of the house with his trunk and owl to three dumbfounded Dursleys that hadn't moved since he had left them. He walked strait to the garage, loaded up his trunk in the back of the car and Hedwig in the front seat. Then he started it and backed out of the garage. Without another word he drove of down the road.
