Before I begin, let me remind you that my updating depends on your
reviewing. The more you review, the more I update! It's as simple as
that!
CHAPTER 4 - HERMIONE'S ANSWER
He ended up not waiting very long. He had just finished cleaning up Daffodil's cake mess when Hedwig flew in and landed on the top of his head. Laughing, he reached up and untied the letter, then let her sit while he read Hermione's answer.
Dear Harry
I've asked my parents, and they said they'd be more than happy to
watch over Daffodil for as long as you need. And guess what? They
even suggested that you come to visit for the rest of the summer so
that she can get used to us before you leave for school. Do you think
you could? That would be so much fun! Maybe we could invite Ron
later on too. (After Daffodil is more comfortable with us)
Well, if you can't come to stay, send Hedwig ASAP. If you can, send
Hedwig ASAP anyways. We'll need to figure out how to get you here. I
guess my parents could just drive out there and get you. Would that
be all right?
I'll be awaiting your answer!
Your Friend,
Hermione
"Yes!" Harry jumped off the bed and pumped his fist in the air. "Yes! Yes!" Noticing Hedwig's and Daffodil's queer stares, he stopped his jumping, but he just couldn't get rid of that silly grin that seemed to be plastered to his face. He hurriedly scribbled one word, 'yes!' to the bottom of Hermione's letter, then rushed over to Hedwig and retied it to her leg. He stroked her beak, whispered who it was for, and stuck his arm out the window. She took off with a soft hoot and disappeared into the clouds.
Knowing he didn't have much time, he began haphazardly throwing items into his school trunks. Daffodil was still looking on in amazement.
Hermione had apparently been waiting for Harry's answer as well, for Hedwig was back in a matter of hours. Harry was just putting his last spell book into the last trunk when she came in with a hoot of greeting. (A/N I guess it's hoot not squawk, huh?)
"Yes! Thank you Hedwig!" He untied the letter, gave Hedwig a big hug, then excitedly, almost desperately, ripped open the letter and scanned what Hermione had written
Harry
We're on our way right now. We should be there sometime tomorrow afternoon.
See you then!
Hermione
Grinning with delight, Harry yanked open the door and raced down the stairs, skidding to a halt in the kitchen, only to come face to face with a red-faced Dudley.
"Get out of the way you bigot!" Harry gladly stepped aside, letting him pass through into the living room.
"Nice to see you've calmed down." This muttering earned him an infuriating glare from his cousin before he disappeared up the stairs. The distant sound of a door slamming could be heard as Harry re-entered the kitchen. His aunt and uncle were seated at the table.
"Um, Uncle Vernon?" Vernon grunted. "Um, my friend from school has invited me to stay with her for the rest of the summer." Nothing. "Is that all right?" Still nothing. "Can I go then?" Another grunt. "Thanks."
"Will you be taking the baby?"
Harry glanced up in surprise. This was the first he had heard either his aunt or his uncle speak of Daffodil since they had found out she was a witch. Petunia even sounded human. "Yeah. They're gonna watch her while I'm at school." Petunia nodded, and Harry took this as his cue to leave. He had barely taken one step when a window-shattering crash echoed through the house.
It was then that Harry remembered Daffodil.
Remember to review! Cause I won't update until you review! Remember.the length of this fan fic depends on you. If you are finished, stop reviewing! If you want more, review! Simple, huh?
