It was dreary summers day at number four privet drive. In fact, as
the rain poured in a steady stream not even Harry, who was staring
longingly out the window, would dare venture outside. Every summer (when
not at Wizarding School) Harry was forced to spend at the Dursleys. Ever
since he could remember he disliked the Dursley's house. But with no other
choice he was now content to stare out the rain scattered window in hope
for some sign of life.
Hoping for the day to end he closed his eyes and wished he was back at school with all his friends. He had plenty of letters to remind himself of them. Ron, Hermione and Hagrid had written him dozens of letters so far but with only 2 weeks remaining until he returned to Hogwarts Harry was growing anxious to see them again. He hoped he would get to stay at the Burrow this summer, as Ron's last letter suggested but that dreaming was slowly fading away like cloud covered sun.
Hedwig was currently outside sending a letter to Ron and would be back soon. In fact that was part of the reason why Harry was looking out the window in the first place. Although unsure on whether he would be able to see Hedwig approaching or not Harry was unsure but he was keeping his eyes fixated on the grey sky. Just as a bolt of lighting in the distance caused Harry to close his eyes in half shock and half fear of the loud crack which pursued the thunder something appeared like a black speck in the dull sky. Harry didn't need to look twice, he wrenched open the window letting in a dusk of cold, wet air as well as a Tawny Brown soggy owl and a slightly sluggish grey one which under further examination appeared to be a very wet and very dirty Hedwig.
Harry bolted out of his room the washroom and grabbed a hair dryer and a towl. He quickly ran back to his room, plugged it in and started to dry off both owls at once. After a considerably slow drying process he closed the window not wanting the brown owl to fly off into the cold after he removed a soggy, slightly limp envelope attached to his leg. Harry removed the packages from the brown owls leg as he did the same with Hedwig. They both flew up to Hedwig's cage and took a drink of water and some food.
Harry unsealed the tiny envelope which came with the brown owl and appeared to be from Hermione. The realatively dry paper read in small scrawl 'hey Harry you almost ready to go back. I bet you are. Anyways 6th year will be even better than last because there is no OWLs or any other test you need to worry about. I have already got a few NEWT practice test me, you and Ron can do in our spare time. But anyways bye for now love, Hermione'
Harry folded the letter and placed it under an already fairly large stack of letters from previous weeks. He proceeded open the letter Hedwig brought back. It was from Ron 'Harry thanks for the letter. I am having such a miserable time here I can't practice Quiddich at all up here it has be lightening here for the past 2 weeks. Mum won't let us play outside she says it is too dangerous but me and Ginny snuck out a few times when they were sleeping. You know have to keep up the for this season.
But the whole reason a wrote back so soon is that I got my owl results and I passed. with 6 OWLS not to shabby. Anyways I can now use MAGIC outside Hogwarts. So I have been working all summer on this invisibility charm and I'm going to use it TONIGHT for real. I am going to fly over tonight so get your things ready and I'm bringing you back to the burrow!!! It is going to be great we can practice our flying and Ginny has been talking madly about how great it would be if you came up So REMEMBER BE READY TONIGHT I may be a little late cause I still want to make sure it is totally dark out when mum and dad are asleep before I go. SEE YOU SOON!!' RON
'WOW', Harry though to himself. Tonight he would be leaving and wouldn't have to see this place again for another ten months. He pulled open his doors bounced downstairs to the broom closet and one by one brought his magic belongings up to his trunk in his room. Soon he was all packed he pulled out his invisibility cloak and shrunk his trunk. He too had got 6 OWLS on his exams so Harry was glad him and Ron would need to compete over that.
Harry resumed to stare out the window but this time the day didn't seem so dreary afterall.
