"Yes, Uncle Vernon? What is it? asked Harry.
Harry could feel the sweat come off his brow. Was this really happening is he really going to be adopted? He didn't want to think about it, but the thought just kept coming into his head over and over again. What is happening to the Durlseys?
"We have bought a new house in London. It is quite costly so we may be moving into it in a couple of weeks." Uncle Vernon said.
Harry felt a rush a relief go through his body. He wasn't getting adopted! He wanted to smile but couldn't. So he answered a calm "Okay," to his Uncle's news.
When his Uncle left he got out a paper and pen and wrote to Ron,
Dear Ron,
I have great news, I'm not getting adopted! All of those dreams were just trying to scare the heck out of me. The thing is that we are just moving into a house in London. Well talk to you soon, Your mate, Harry
The next day Harry got all of his things packed and ready. Aunt Petunia seemed really happy so Harry had to get away and go outside. Dudley was always really grim. Sometimes Harry could hear him cry in his room. Uncle Vernon seemed more calm about the whole matter. Finally Harry decided to try to talk to Dudley and make him 'cheerful'.
"Dudley is anything wrong?" Harry asked.
"Shut up Harry I don't want to talk!!" Dudley fiercely answered.
"You've been looking grim lately I just wanted to know if you wanted to talk," Harry answered.
"Well..... I don't want to talk Harry and that's it," Dudley answered.
Soon the weeks of Privet Drive ended and finally the truck came and they left. As they were coming upon the new home Harry realized where they were. He saw the house, street and number, when it finally came to him that they were moving to 12 Grimmauld Place! Harry wanted to smile, but knew that Uncle Vernon would tell him to wipe the grin off his face but did anyway.
"Umm, Uncle Vernon is that the house that we are moving to?"
"Yes, Harry. Why do you ask? Oh, it is probably just different after living in Privet Drive for all of your life, huh?" Vernon answered chuckling to himself.
Harry finally realized as he looked at the house that it really was 12 Grimmauld Place! At the same time it wasn't 12 Grimmauld Place, the house was more modern and the address was 16 Jasper Road.
As Uncle Vernon drove into the driveway and parked the car, Harry was the first one to get out.
"Come hurry up!" Harry was shouting.
Vernon and Petunia both exchange looks confusion.
"Is there something wrong with Harry?" Vernon asked
"I don't know but he is sure acting very strange," Petunia answered.
When Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia and Dudley came over to the door of the house, Harry rolled his eyes and stomped his foot. Vernon opened the door and Harry rushed in, and went all the way up the stairs to where he slept last summer. He looked around and realized that it wasn't 12 Grimmauld Place! He had been kidding himself the whole time. Harry walked down the stairs in a slump.
"Now he is acting a bit more like himself," Uncle Vernon said with a snicker.
By the time everything was moved in, it was a little late so they decided to order pizza. When dinner was over, everybody was tired and went to bed. Harry decided to take the room he had slept in last summer. He got on his pajamas and went to bed.
Out of nowhere during the night Harry heard muttering and just decided to sleep through it. He woke up the next morning and asked anyone if they heard anything. Everybody said no and called him stupid and dim- witted.
"Alright I'm of to work everybody," Vernon said.
"Have a good time darling," Petunia.
As soon as Uncle Vernon left, Harry still wanted to search the house and see if it actually was Grimmauld Place. He searched through rooms, closets, doors and anything else that he could think of! As usual it was not Grimmauld Place.
Harry was tired after searching the whole house, and decided to take a long nap. When he woke up it was dark, but didn't hear any muttering he heard thumping upstairs. He wanted to go check the attic but it was locked and he DIDN'T want to wake Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia.
He decided to go back to bed and would check it out tomorrow.
