Chapter One
"Summer Surprise"
As every summer evenings at the Dursley's house in Privet Drive, also that time Harry lied on his bed, waiting with eagerness for his return in Hogwarts; he was smiling, thinking on all the things that he and his friends, Ron and Hermione, had faced in the previous five years.yeah, Hermione. that girl had fascinated him, in the fourth year, yet, when, seeing her with Krum, suddenly he understood how beautiful she was and how prat he was not inviting her for the Yule Ball.
"I wonder why she needs all this time to answer me" he asked himself "it is a week now after I sent her Hedwig with a letter." and thinking so he fell asleep.
How often happens, he dreamed the last thing that he though, so he dreamed Hermione, Ron and himself after Hogwarts.they were all Aurors, seeking Dark Wizards, as the better Auror team ever seen; he felt so happy being with her after the school and not having lost her. But after this he had a nightmare, so suddenly woke up and gave a look around him; seeing where he was, he pulled the pillow and tried to sleep another time; so he had now a dreamless sleeping, his best-loved kind of sleeping.
The next day he had to do his summer homeworks; especially, he had done before nothing about Potions; he hated Snape so much that he couldn't only think about undertaking that and if he later found himself studying that argument it was only because he knew what Hermione would say if he didn't his homeworks, and he didn't wanted to get her angry with him.
In the evening, just before dinner, he went on his new hobby: running. After a long run in the park, he returned home and had a shower, then he went in his room and found a letter for him.he thought that it could be from Hermione, but he didn't understand why Hedwig wasn't there. However, he opened the letter and was shocked: it wasn't from Hermione, it was from Snape!!!
With a great repugnance he forced himself on reading it, and he was really surprised:
"Dear Harry,
I know that reading this letter you
maybe shocked, but I pray you,
believe me, it is important for the
life of your friends, Weasley and
Granger: this year you have to protect
them, as I can't ask you for not
seeing them or not talking them;
Voldemort will try to use them to
obtain your death, that is his task!!
Be careful!!
Severus"
Harry read it many times, then he put it in his trunk, and went down for the dinner; but just returned Upstairs, he wanted to read it again, for being sure of not having dreamed it; Snape writing him in a friendly way!! It was like a miracle! Except this, however, the letter didn't brought good news: for him Ron and ,especially, Hermione were risking their lives.
In the next days he thought a lot about this letter and when the Hermione's answer finally arrived, he read it, then wrote her:
"Dear Hermione,
this year stay far from me;
I will explain you one day
or another.
Love, Harry"
But he didn't think explaining her so soon; in fact, on Dudley's birthday, his cousin asked:
"Mummy, can I ask Harry for a gift?" "Yes, but I don't know what he could give you" Uncle Vernon answered ironically
"Harry" Dudley told, without hearing his dad "I want that you invite here two friends of yours who you want until you don't go back to that school"
Harry laughed, thinking that Dudley was joking, while his parents froze.
"What did you say?" Uncle Vernon shouted then "One wizard in our house is enough, what are you thinking?" Aunt Petunia added
At the end Dudley won the row and he went in the Harry's room with him; Harry asked him why he did it and Dudley explained: "I'm annoyed of seeing you always sad; I want to help you being happy also in our house, not only at school."
Harry thanked him a lot, then invited Ron and Hermione, that two days after were already there: they arrived early in the morning, seeing Harry returning from his morning run; they hug each other very affectively, then Hermione said: "Before you say us to stay far from you, then you invite us here.can you explain what is happening?"
Harry explained all from the Snape's letter, then he finished: "I am a stupid, I had to not invite you here.I had to keep you away." But they didn't seem very scared, so they entered and Dudley wanted them to demonstrate what they can do; Harry remembered him that they were not of age yet, so they could not do magic out of school; he was a little disappointed, however he was kind with them, at the contrary of his parents. In the evening he always went in the Harry's room, where also Ron and Hermione stayed, to hear about their adventures for hours; Harry was always more surprised with his behaviour, because he also started running all the mornings to stay with the other three.
"Definitely a surprising summer" Harry thought and smiled, without let the others see him.
