Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or anything, but it would be really cool if I did,
And now, on with the fic!.....
chapter 2: News
Considering how late Harry went to bed, he woke up quite early the next morning. He had dressed, brushed his teeth,
washed up, and eaten, all by 10:00 am. On top of that, Harry fely very pleased with the world in general. Maybe it had something
to do with a certian letter...
A little while later, Harry was up in his room, flipping through the photo albun Hagrid had given him at the end of
Harry's first year. Eventually, Harry foung what he was looking for; It was a picture of the Marauders,along with Lily.
James and Lily wiere sitting under a tree, holding hands, while Sirius and Remus were throwing sticks and rocks at eachother.
Peter was off to the side, wwatching.They were in 7th yearjudging by the date on the back of the picture.
Harry had looked through this photo album many times lately. It gave him a sense of hope. After Sirius died, Harry
had grieved for a while, it would have been un-natural not to. But now, whenever Harry thought of Sirius, it gave him a
feeling of prode. He loved to reminise about all the happy memories they had sharedtogether. Harry didn't feel the single
tear running down his cheek, until hit hit the page he was looking at. It was't a tear or sadness, or joy. It was simply one
last tear shed of saying goodbye to a frirend.
After tidying up his room a bit, Harry decided to go downstairs and make himself a penutbutter-banana sandwitch.
There at the kitchen table, sat Dudley. Even though he had indeed lost weight, he was still equal to the size of a small
hippo. " Well good morning Harry" Dudley said in a mock cheerful voice, "How are you doing today?" " Peachy", Harry replied,
"Just peachy." " I heard you last night" Dudley grunted again, " Something about 'She likes me! She really likes me' I'm
glad to see that you've evolved onto girls Potter. That's quite an acheivement for you" He ended with a malicous grin.
" I haven;t got time for this Dudley" Harry mutterd. He grabbbed up his samdwitch and stomped upstairs.
The last thing Harry wanted right now was to be angry. If he was angrym he would get snappy, and if he got snappy, he
would get in trouble. That was just what Dudley wanted, and what Harry was trying to avoid.
Luckily, before Harry could brood on this any longer. Ron's owl Pig swooped through the window. Immideately, this
completely changed Harry's mood. It was a letter from Ron ;
Some day in June
Dear Harry,
'Lo mate! How's life? Dumbledore came to our house yesterday, and you won't believe what he said. I don't know the
specifics, but he talked to Mum and Dad about something and now Hermione and I have to come spend the rest of the summer at
youu'r house!
Aparrently, the Order is getting too dangerous for us to be hanging around and we need to go somewhere safer.
Dumberlore said the muggles won't mind, he'll be giving them a little talk. Hehehe
Anyway, Hermionie and I are coming on the 29th, I think that's tommorow. See you then!
From,
Ron
Harry was overjoyed, He re-read the letter twice, making sure his eyes weren't decieving him. "The rest of the
summer with Ron and Hermione"he thought to himself, "This will be great, the Holidays have bearly even started yet!"
And now, on with the fic!.....
