Harry Potter and the Scottish Play
Chapter Two - The Promise
"HARRY POTTER!" came a loud booming voice, waking Harry from his slumber. He fumbled for his round glasses and shoved them on before dashing out of his bedroom.
He couldn't believe he was still living with the Dursley's. Sirius kept promising to relieve him and take him away with him but something always came up. Harry started to take his vows with a grain of salt.
Harry burst into the kitchen, completely out of breath. "Yes?"
"Have you forgotten it's my birthday today?" came the reply from his cousin.
"Again??" Harry muttered under his breath.
Evidently, the Dursleys hadn't heard him, and a good thing too. "Well aren't you going to make me my birthday breakfast?" Dudley persisted.
Harry was about to open his mouth in protest when he heard the flapping of large wings upstairs. Hedwig! He had returned! He had to get to him before Uncle Vernon or Aunt Petunia noticed. "Nope," Harry said quickly and ran back up to his bedroom.
He tried not to slam the door and ran over to where Hedwig was perched on his headboard. "C'mon... get over here..." he mumbled to Hedwig. He picked up the large owl and put him back in his cage. As he put the latch on, Harry noticed the letters on his desk. 'Wow, that was quick' he thought.
Picking up the pile, Harry sat on his lumpy bed and opened the first one. A smile formed on his face as he saw that it was from the entire Weasley family. They were all very proud of his achievement. To Harry's delight, he was definitely welcome back whenever he wanted. Mrs. Weasley had added that Ginny secretly hoped he would visit very soon.
The next letter was surprisingly not from Hermione, as Harry had expected. His eyes bulged when he saw the name at the bottom of the letter. Sirius Black. Harry's eyes quickly scanned back up to the beginning of the letter.
~Harry,
Great job on becoming Quidditch Team Captain! Albus had owled me as well with the great news! I'm proud of you Harry.
I should be by to get you in a couple of days. Maybe we can go visit the Weasley family.
See you soon,
Sirius Black~
Harry sighed. Yet another promise. Oh well. He would take it as it came. Harry folded the letters and stored them with his other mail in his bottom desk drawer.
One more week. Just one more week until he would be returning to Hogwarts. For the last time, he realized in a sad afterthought.
