Chapter 1 The Letter
Harry's Summer has been dreadful so far. He hasn't gotten over the death of his godfather, Sirius Black. He was the closest person Harry had to a loving family member. Harry turned over in his bed, thinking about the night that Sirius died. He regretted making Professor Snape angry and not trying hard enough in his Occlumency lessons. As Harry sat up in his bed, he could hear Dudley yelling and screaming downstairs. It was Harry's birthday. Even though the Dursleys were treating Harry better, he still wanted to be with his Friends and the wizarding world. He kept in contact with everyone just like he promised when he returned to London. He also got a subscription to the Daily Prophet to see if there was any news about Lord Voldemort. Harry picked up his newest copy of the Daily Prophet and started going through the pages when Hedwig flew through his window with a letter strapped to her leg. Harry relieved Hedwig of the letter and put her in her cage. He opened the letter, it was from Ron. It read:
Dear Harry,
How are you doing? I know your summer has been a drag so I have news that will cheer you up. My dad will be by to pick you up in two days. We are going to be staying at Grimmaud Place for the Orders meetings and plus its closer to Kings Cross station and Diagon Alley.
Cant wait to see you,
Ron
Harry's mood did lighten up a bit but the thought of returning to Grimmaud place with no Sirius there was depressing. He sighed and went downstairs to let the Dursleys know that he will be leaving in two days. When Harry got downstairs, the Dursleys were sitting at the kitchen table and Dudley was stuffing his face with cake. He stepped into the kitchen and all three of the Dursleys turned and looked at him.
"What is it Potter?" Uncle Vernon asked.
"I got a letter from my friend Ron, saying that his parents will be by in two days to take me to their place." Harry said, staring intensely into Uncle Vernon's face.
He watched as Uncle Vernon's face began to turn red. He turned to Aunt Petunia and looked at her face. She looked as though she smelled something foul. The thought of having wizards at her door disgusted her.
"I'm sure they wont stay long. They'll just pick me up and then you don't have to bother with me until next Summer." Harry said reassuringly, hoping this will convince the Dursleys. Though they were treating him better, he didn't want to let his guard down.
Uncle Vernon thought for a while and Aunt Petunia stared at him. Finally Uncle Vernon spoke.
"You can go but if those people aren't off my property in fifteen minutes then you are staying here for the whole year."
Harry smiled. He knew that there was no way for the Dursleys could keep him on Privet Drive for a whole year but still, he didn't want to anger the Dursleys.
"Thank you" Harry said to them and returned upstairs.
When he returned to his room Hedwig was sleeping in her cage. He got some parchment and dipped his pen in ink. He replied back to Ron's letter saying that he was looking forward to seeing him and his family. He woke up Hedwig and tied the parchment to her leg. She seemed to be upset about being awakened. He told the snowy white owl to deliver the letter to Ron. Hedwig let out a soft hoot and flew away.
The next day, Harry began to pack up his trunk. He sorted everything neatly into the trunk. While he did this, he came across the two way mirror that Sirius had given to him last Christmas. He wished that he knew about it sooner and used it, rather than listening to the old house elf, Kreacher. That way Sirius would of still been alive. He quickly covered the mirror with his school robes, added in his Firebolt and closed the trunk.
After packing, he sat on his bed and read the Daily Prophet. The Ministry of Magic didn't have any new information about the whereabouts of Lord Voldemort. Harry closed the paper and went downstairs. Uncle Vernon was leaving for work and Dudley left to hang out with his friends meaning that Harry will be stuck with Aunt Petunia for the whole day. He stayed out of the way for the whole day. He didn't even go and eat at dinner time. All he could think about was seeing Ron the next day. He even had trouble sleeping.
Harry woke up the next morning and got dressed. He sat on the stairs and waited for Mr.Weasley. He checked his watch and it was noon. He had already been sitting and waiting for two hours. He decided to go Upstairs and wait. Uncle Vernon was sitting on the couch reading the paper while Aunt Petunia and Dudley watched T.V. Harry went in his room and checked to make sure that he had packed everything.
Around three in the afternoon, there was a loud honk in front of Number 4 Privet Drive. Harry looked out the window and saw a 1989 Toyota in front of the house. Out from the car stepped Mr. Weasley. Harry grabbed his trunk and headed down the stairs. While he went down the stairs, the door bell ranged. Uncle Vernon answered the door and saw Arthur Weasley standing in the doorway. Uncle Vernon looked at him with a disgusted expression on his face.
"Good Afternoon." Mr.Weasley said to Uncle Vernon. Uncle Vernon said nothing and turned and yelled to Harry to come downstairs.
"I'm here" Harry said. Struggling with his trunk.
"Hello Harry." Mr. Weasley said to Harry.
"Hello. Mr. Weasley, can you take this for me while Ill go get Hedwig?" Harry asked.
"Yes, of course." Said Mr. Weasley and carried the Trunk to the car.
Harry headed upstairs and got Hedwig's cage. Hedwig hooted as Harry carried the cage downstairs. Harry turned to Uncle Vernon.
"Well Good-bye" Harry said.
"Whatever. Just get going before I change my mind." Uncle Vernon said.
Harry Carried Hedwig's cage to the car. Mr. Weasley was already inside waiting for him. Harry got in the car and they were on their way.
