My Friend
The next morning Harry awoke before anyone could rudely wake him, and crawled out a secret sliding door he had crafted for himself. He quietly made some bacon so the Durslys wouldn't be entirely furious with him, and left the house quickly. This was his normal weekday routine, but this was not a weekday, this was Saturday, and Dudley's birthday. He started on his normal five mile run to school, but turned onto a different street half way through and soon found himself facing a large house. 'So this is where she lives,' he thought, 'interesting.'
He walked up to the door and almost rung the bell but decided against it, mostly because of his instinct, and knocked. A woman that resembled Hermione a lot answered the door. "Hello," she said looking at him with a curious expression.
"Hola," said Harry smiling, "I was invited to this wonderful house by a beautiful girl named Hermione." As he said that, he had a hard time keeping himself from blushing, but he succeeded. He was hoping to sound polite.
"Well she is still sleeping and." she looked at her watch and her face became even more confused. "It is only six-thirty, what are you doing up so early young man."
"I am the equal of a servant at my uncle's house, and if I don't sneak out I don't get out," said Harry. He had been preparing this speech since he had gotten home yesterday, and it was having the desired effect. Mrs. Granger's face was one of deep sorrow and pity, even though he didn't like it; it would help him gain her trust. Maybe even a good breakfast where he didn't have to cook.
"A servant?" she questioned.
"Yes, and if I resist, well" he lifted up his shirt and there was a big bruise on the right his chest. It was older, since he now could escape his uncle, but still fresh enough to cause discomfort.
"Oh my!" Mrs. Granger gasped. She quickly escorted him in and began to apply some sort of ointment to the bruise. She then showed him to the kitchen where she made some eggs and toast for him to eat while he waited for Hermione to wake up.
When she did wake up, well she half woke up; she came into the kitchen and sat down across from Harry. Her mother gave her the same thing Harry had eaten and she slowly ate it one tiny bit at a time. At this point Harry couldn't take it any more and burst out laughing. Mrs. Granger just shook her head and walked out of the kitchen while Hermione looked up at Harry, giving him a confused expression. This made him laugh harder. She looked down at her plate and then it hit her.
"Harry?" she said snapping her head back up as her eye went wide with surprise. Harry, if it is possible, started laughing harder than before. She looked at the clock. Seven, "H-How long have you been here?"
It took him a good fifteen minuets to clam down completely, and for her to wake up completely. "Remember, you invited me," he said.
"I was thinking about later and being able to tell my parents before you showed up," she looked worried, "who let you in?"
"Your mom, she seems to really like me," he said smiling.
"So, why did you come so early?" she asked.
"Umm, cousins birthday," he said, "to stay means servant duty."
"Oh," she said looking sad for a second before getting an idea and smiling, "want a tour?"
"Sure, I'd like that a lot," he smiled.
So she show him around. She showed him a guestroom where he could stay if he wanted to sleep over, and her room. She also took him out to her back yard, which was quite large and had a swimming pool. She then introduced him to her dad, who also was saddened by the 'story of his life.'
They spent the rest of the day just playing around. And her dad let them swim in the pool, even thought it was getting a little late in the year. That night Hermione's father and Harry's uncle had a heated argument, and in the end Harry got to stay over. 'My life is turning for the better every day,' he thought. He smiled as, for the first time he sleep in a real bed.
