CHAPTER 1

NEW BEGINNINGS

Nothing about the day would suggest that anything strange was going to be happening. The sky was blue with frequent clouds throughtout the sky, the neighborhood frequently buzzing with chatter and children playing. Nobody had suspected a thing strange to happen, especially at Number 4 Privet Drive. Vernon Dursley was on his way to his drill company, Grunnings, when he was all of the sudden stopped dead in his tracks. How could this be he thought, there was no possible way. All of the strange things had stopped since Harry was back and done with school. He still did not understand how this was going on. He saw an owl. Why was this strange, well, you had to know Harry Potter. He was not a normal boy. He was a wizard. For the last seven years of his life, since the age of eleven, he attended Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
