bcenterChapter One- Daily Routine/center/b

Disclaimer- I do not own anything Harry Potter, but the plot. J.K. Rowling owns the other stuff.

A/N- This is my second fic and I am going to start it like I think all Harry Potter stories should, summer break. Please review, I don't know if you will like it. It's kinda confusing I guess, and I am not sure how the story is gonna go, but I think the first chapter is good. I kinda stole from one of the books about how to introduce the whole wizard thing, so I am sorry if it sounds familiar. Oh and also this is the gang's sixth year, I know that the fifth book is coming out and I won't be done with the story by then. Okay, I'll shut up.

The morning air whooshed through the window of the small room on Privit Drive. Harry Potter climbed out of the seemingly small bed and yawned, greeting another day at the Dursley's. Harry had spent every summer at number four Privit Drive since that letter from Hogwarts when he was eleven.

Harry Potter was a very abnormal boy, living in the home of his aunt and uncle, despite his hate for them. You see, Harry was so abnormal because he was a wizard, just about to attend his sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He was the boy-who-lived, the famous Harry potter who defeated the dreaded Voldemort before he even knew what he was. Not to mention, he had lived through five near death experiences with Voldemort.

Back at the Dursley's though; Harry was barely a boy, let alone a human being. To them, harry was a misfit, a monster, the total opposite of them.

Harry looked at the clock. It was 7 in the morning, time for his day to start. Just one day away from being 16, harry had a job, one that he actually enjoyed. Harry was a clerk at a downtown candy shop, Bittersweet. He loved his job, first the money, second the location, and third he had found that a boy from Hogwarts also worked there. Justin Finch-Fletchly was a sixth year, as Harry, but was in the Hufflepuff house.

"Good morning Hedwig." Harry chimed.

Obviously harry was in a good mood today, and why not today was payday. Harry counted on this every week, even if he did have his wizarding money, it was all at Gringots, the wizarding bank. He had only been at his job for a month and a half, but Harry had saved a bit of his money each week for extra spending later on. He had kept it from his aunt and uncle and was very proud.

Harry got a clean new shirt from the drawers under his bed, pants, and other essentials, and walked across the hall to the bathroom. Waking up at seven was great for Harry, Uncle Vernon hadn't waken yet, and by the time he was, Harry was gone. He took a quick shower, got dressed, and walked to the bus stop at the edge of the neighborhood.

Harry was ready to take his lunch break and told Justin to watch the counter. Harry had a nice hour lunch break everyday, at whatever time he liked as long as he checked it with his boss.

Harry walked into the homey little café just down the street from Bittersweet. The words Black Box were printed on the windows in a beautiful cursive font that reminded Harry of the letters from Hogwarts. Harry walked inside and saw his best friend Ron Weasley working at behind the counter.
"Hi Ron. Break?" Harry asked Ron as he watched him fill the breadbasket at the end of the counter.

"Sure, one second Harry." Ron replied without looking up.

This was their daily routine. The best one Harry thought. Everyday, Harry and Ron would go out to lunch together, and occasionally go to the other side of town where Hermione Granger worked. Hermione was Harry and Ron's other best friend who worked at her parent's dentist office, as a receptionist.

"Hey Mione, I got you a stash of Tea-Cuppers, for your trip." Harry said as he handed her a package full of teacup shaped candies from Bittersweet.

"I'm not going away forever, just taking a quick trip to Paris for the weekend guys. No need to treat me like a princess." Hermione said feeling for a crown on her head.

"Take it while it last, Granger." Ron teased.

"Oh, your royal highness." Harry laughed as he bowed to her.

"Oh, quit it, I was only kidding."

"And you thought I wasn't? To think a box of candies would go to her head, huh Ron?"

A/N- First chapter. Good, or bad? I need to know. I hope this story goes well, because my first one I kinda left there. I will try on it again if you guys really want me to. Please read and review (R/R), even if you don't like it! I will be so happy if you do, and I will post the next chapter. Thanks.
