Harry's best Dursley summer

Chapter three: New York City

They found that they had to stay the night in New York do to the weather, and were put up in a plush hotel by the airlines. They stayed at the Waldorf Astoria in the city, and were given three rooms. One for Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, one for the boys, and one for the girls. They didn' mind it so much, because the teenagers decided to spend most of the night talking in one of the rooms.

The next morning turned out to be worse weather than the last, and they were told that they would be there for three more days. They decided to go check out muggle New York the first day and then go to Magic New York the second, while the Dursley's did more sight seeing. They did all the regular touristy things, like seeing the statue of liberty, which Hermoine stated " " it was actually constructed by wizards in both country's as a joint union of solidarity. I hear that if you look in the basement, there is an entrance to there Diagon Alley." she said with a smile.

"Wicked" both Ron and Harry said at the same time. "So that is how we're going to have to get there tomorrow huh?" Harry asked.

"Well not necessarily, there are other entrances to it, that is just one of the best ways for tourist witches and wizards can get there. It will be a bit crowded tomorrow, so I suggest that we find another way in."

While they were sightseeing all day long, Hermoine was constantly telling them the history of the different spots that they visited, and what the wizarding world had to do with them, if any. The last thing that the trio saw, was the U.N. and found an interesting thing on the bottom of the sign that showed where the different offices were. It read, "I.W.W.U.N." " Oh my," Hermoine said. " I thought that they were just a rumor."

The others looked at her with surprise, as she started thinking. "We need to come back here tomorrow, Harry. This is the UN's version of the Ministry of Magic. This is the international branch of our government. They affect the international laws, and they might be interested in having you at least visit them." Hermoine said with a smile.

"Ok Hermoine, we will come back here to visit." Looking at what it said next to the iwwun on the placard, it gave a phone number, and Harry copied it down. "Looks like we should give them a call tonight when we get back to make an appointment Hermoine."

The teenagers followed Mr and Mrs Dursley around throughout New York, and went to dinner and a show that night. They saw Cats and enjoyed themselves. When the show was over, Hermoine was regaling them all on the intricasies of the show and pointing out all the special effects that were used in the show. Explaining that some of them were muggle, but a lot of them were of the magical kind.

After a night of dinner and a show, the group slept well. The next day, while the Dursley's went sightseeing after dropping them off at the UN, the group went to the offices of the IWWUN and said that they were here as friends of Harry Potter, and that he thought that the leader of this group would like to meet him, since he was stuck here in New York for a few days while traveling with his muggle guardians due to the weather.

"Of course we have heard of Harry Potter, I think that the minister would love to meet him, but unfortunately, that is going to have to wait til tomorrow, for he isn't here at this time. Would you all like to come back tomorrow and have a private tour of the magical UN?" The secretary asked nicely.

"That would be great. Do you have any maps, or such that describes entrances and locations of magical New York, for we are here sight seeing this day?" Harry asked this with a twinkle in his eyes.

The secretary looked at the four of them with a smile, "of course we do." She handed the teenagers a map, and guide to New York. "Enjoy your stay, and be careful. There are even darl witches and wizards in the states. Keep to the well marked areas on the map, and enjoy." She waved them off with a hand and handing them a card with the time of there appointment the next day.

"Well this is going to be interesting. Where shall we go first? I was thinking to go to the book store, or library to check out what is new in the states." Hermoine said with a smile. "I'm kidding guys, I know that this is supposed to be a vacation." She laughed at the look on her friends faces.

The friends spent the rest of the day looking around the different spots of Magical New York, both historic and fun. They enjoyed everything, and bought different gifts for there friends back home. They went back into muggle New York to get some gadgets for Mr. Weasley for his fascination with such things. They took it all back to the WSC (wizadring shipping company) and had it all shipped to there friend and family back in England.

After a full day of sight seeing, they met back up with the Dursley's for dinner that night, and told them of there plans for tomorrow morning, and said that they would meet up with them for lunch after there meeting. After dinner, they were tired, so they all retired to there rooms for the night.

A/N: The next chapter we will learn more about the WWUN (wizadring world of the united nations) and meet the minister. Thank you again for all your reviews
