Harry was sent back to the Dursleys two days later. Remus told them about
what happened and to treat him well this summer. So far Petunia was much
nicer but Vernon was his same old self.
"Come and eat Harry!" said Petunia from the kitchen
"I'm not hungry!" Harry yelled back
It had been two weeks since he was sent back to the Dursleys. He hadn't eaten anything since. He was hoping that maybe he would die. Then he would be with Sirius again. He was so much skinnier than he was before. The last time he weighed himself he only weighted 78 pounds and that was six days ago.
"You need to eat something!" said Petunia
"Don't bother Petunia, the less for him the more for us" said Vernon
Harry closed his eyes. Aunt Petunia was only acting this way because she was forced to. She didn't love him, nobody loved him. He was all alone now.
But the pain was getting unbearable. He always had hunger pains and was rapidly fading away. Pretty soon he would be dead.
Suddenly he remembered that he was supposed to write to Remus. The Order wanted to know how he was.
Professor Lupin,
I'm fine. The Dursleys are treating me so much better than they did last year, thanks for talking to them. I have been eating properly, don't worry and I am no longer moping around like I did while I was at your house. There is no need for you to come and save me this summer.
Harry Potter
He gave the letter to Hedwig and he flew away into the morning sky.
"Bye Hedwig!" he called after her
Twenty minutes later Hedwig came back with three letters. One from each Ron Hermione and Ron. First he opened Remus.
Harry,
I'm glad to hear that you are okay. Everything is great here. We finally got that blasted painting off the wall. The Weasleys and Hermione are here. They miss you. They wont be here for long though. Hermione's parents want to spend more time with her so she's leaving tomorrow morning and the Weasleys are going visit Arthur's uncle Bilius in muggle England. They should be staying there for a couple of months. I have to go now, Dung is yelling at something.
Remus Lupin
Next he opened Ron's.
Harry,
How are you? You never write to me anymore. Mum got me a new broomstick since I decided to stay on the team. You will be playing this year right? Well, I'll see you in Diagon Alley. (Hermione already bought her books)
Ron Weasley
One he was finished Ron's he opened Hermione's.
Harry,
Are you okay, I haven't heard from you for such a long time. I've already gotten this year's textbooks and I must say, they are very interesting. Hopefully his summer you have finally read Hogwarts a History. I made Ron read it, but he's still not done, I doubt that he started yet.
Anyway I just wanted to make sure that you were okay, you looked horrible at the funeral. I love you, bye.
Hermione Granger
Harry pulled out a piece of parchment and was about to write back when his stomach started growling. The world began to spin. He fell off his chair and collapsed to the ground. Everything went black.
