Chapter/Part: 8

Harry was the first to wake up this time at seven thirty. But he didn't know what he should do so he got dressed for the day and sat on his bed. He liked Kari (a/n: Hope the muggle world will refer her to her as Kari) but didn't want to make her angry.

Kari (a/n: I will use the name where the setting is being held) woke up at eight thirty. She got up and got ready for the day. She was going to take Harry to the zoo. Then she was going to meet a one of her friends from the muggle world for dinner with Harry. After dinner she planed to watch Free Willy with Harry with popcorn. She then went to check on him as she didn't hear him; it was time he got up. Only when she got to the door did she see he was up and ready but was just sitting on his bed.

"Hey kiddo. Ready for breakfast?" She asked upon entering.

"Sure. Do we get to eat what we did yesterday for breakfast?"

"Is that what you want?"

"Yes!"

"Okay. Then we will."

"What are we going to do today Ms. Whaley?"

"I plan on taking you to the zoo after breakfast then we can come home to 'freshen' up and then we're going to met one of my friends for dinner. How does that sound?"

"Sound fun. What's the zoo like?"

"Well the zoo has a lot of animals. You'll just have to wait until you get there."

After breakfast they got in her dark blue extended Dodge truck. (she liked trucks!) Then they drove to the zoo and got there at eleven. After an hour of walking around they had lunch. Harry had a corn dog with fries. He loves fries after eating them yesterday. He didn't care too much for the corn dog though. It was a fun day walking around looking at all the animals and the scenery. Harry's favorite animal was the white tigers. But the wolfs, lions, and monkeys were awesome too. At four the left to go back home. They got there about five thirty and got changed.

After they were changed and ready to go they once again got into her Dodge. The arrived right one time to meet with her friend Justus. Justus loved Harry she thought he was so cute. After she cooed over him they ate. Harry decided to go with pizza again. He really liked that. But Kari had him try some of her food. She had that he dug into with out hesitation potatoes which he also loved. He thought he'd eat anything with potatoes. Green beans were defiantly not his favorite but not so bad. He also tried her chicken which was great better than pepperonis.

After they said their goodbyes Kari and Harry went home. it was a little after eight when they got there. They both were tired and so Kari thought she would hold the movie until tomorrow. Actually tomorrow was Sunday and she usually didn't do anything on Sundays and just lounged around so she thought they could stay home and watch movies. It sounded good to her.

As she walked into the kitchen she say that her grandpa had written back like he said. She would read it after she got Harry to bed. Which wasn't long as he sat down on the couch and stated to fall asleep. She said he wasn't staying there all night. She then went back downstairs to read the letter.

Hope/Kari pov

I thought about his opportunity. Yes I missed him and Serverus but there really wasn't anything else there that I miss. I can still use magic if I need to so I still have that. I love Harry dearly but I'm not sure if I can go back just for him. In a few years maybe but it is too soon. Harry could get along with Serverus. Serverus would have his mask off very fast when he say Harry. Come to think of it Harry will have him wrapped about his finger. No doubt. He could even get him to open up maybe if I can't by the time he leaves.

End pov

As Kari got ready to write the letter she heard a scream for upstairs. She shot off with out a second thought. As she entered Harry's room she saw him sitting up leaning on the headboard with his head down.

"Harry?" no response. "Harry its ok. Do you want to talk about it?" A shake of the head. So she hummed a lullaby to him that her aunt Faith sang when she had a nightmare about her parents. He was asleep again after a half hour later. She went back downstairs to write the letter.

Dear Grandpa,
I'm sorry but I hope you understand I can not come back right now. Maybe in a few more years but not now not even for Harry. I think having Serverus take him is great. No matter what he thinks Harry is not James and once he sees him he will realize that. Harry is really sweet. I don't know when you plan to come and get him but I was hoping I could have him for at least a week more? I want him to get use to the idea and I want to see if he'll open up to me. I miss you too. Thanks.

Love,
Hope
