Chapter 2 - Return Mail

Harry woke with a start; he must have dozed off because his Herbology books were still on his lap. He pushed the heavy volume onto the floor and walked over to the window that was still open, but he didn't shut it in case Hedwig came back. Looking over at the old clock on his desk, that read 6:27, he went downstairs to find the Dursley's eating dinner. Aunt Petunia pointed a long bony finger at the microwave. "Thanks" mumbled Harry as he took the plate of limp broccoli and lumpy mashed potato over to the table, sat down and started to eat. Dudley was still unfortunately moaning about his computer to the annoyed grunts of a rather red Uncle Vernon. "I'll get you one tomorrow" growled Vernon Dursley "But I want one now" screamed Dudley "Tuff, you shouldn't have broken your old one" "But" squeaked Dudley "Oh just shut up" yelled Mr Dursley getting even more red in the face At that point Dudley ran or rather wobbled upstairs screaming that "It wasn't fair"

Harry cleared the table and washed the dishes before he returned to his room thinking that for the first time in his life he agreed with his Uncle, Dudley should shut up.

Slumping down on his bed after dinner Harry saw a flash of light outside, going over to his window he saw something that made his heart stop, eight or nine dark black shapes moving in a huddle to the end of the road. This time Harry wasn't being paranoid, there was something out there. Drawing his curtains and hoping that Hedwig would return soon with a letter from Sirius, Harry undressed, changed into his overlarge pyjamas and went to bed.

Harry was woken by Hedwig screeching in his ear. "shut that ruddy owl up" roared Vernon Dursley from his bedroom "O.K., O.k. Hedwig I'm awake" Taking the piece of parchment from Hedwig's out stretched leg, he opened it and began to read

Harry, I'm so glad you wrote and told me, I'm not saw what those things are - they could be Deatheaters, I don't know. But you have to leave the Dursleys, but don't go to Ron's they will find you. Go to Hermionie's they won't be able to follow you there. Be careful Harry always carry your wand and learn some defence charms at Hermionie's she'll be able to help you. You'll have to leave in the next day or so, Write back when you're at Hermionies.

Snuffles

Harry finished the letter with a sinking feeling in his stomach.

"Thanks Hedwig" he said stroking the owl's soft feathers "but are you up to another delivery?" "I've got to speak to Hermionie" Hedwig screeched again as she flew over to her perch and started to drink some water

"Right thanks Hedwig" Harry said again as he started his letter to Hermionie

Dear Hermionie, I know this is short notice but something bad as happened and I need to leave the Dursleys and Snuffles say's that I can't go to Ron's because its to dangerous. Any way please reply by return owl because I need to leave in the next day of two. I'll explain everything later

Harry

He attached the letter to Hedwig's leg and watched her soar out the window.
