I only finished writing the first chapter a few minutes ago, but I'm feeling creative!
'It can't get any worse' The words of Harry Potter. He knew he was tempting fate, but that was how he felt. Tempting fate was probably what caused the next bout of shouting from the kitchen. 'That bloody owl!' Harry dashed downstairs to save Hedwig from Uncle Vernon's angry grasp. He supposed when she'd found his window locked, she'd flown through the wide open front door. Harry sprinted away from his uncle and when safely back in his room, he set Hedwig back on her perch.
She looked slightly ruffled and offended at such a greeting. 'It's not my fault it's locked' Harry said soothingly 'I'm glad you brought me a letter, but i can't help it if that's the reception you get' Seeming somewhat appeased, the owl stuck out her leg with the letter attatched. Harry carefully untied it and immediately recognised Ron's untidy handwriting. With a muffled shout of joy, he tore open the letter.
Harry,
Have you heard about the school being shut? It's mad! Dad says the ministry just want the students taught by someone he thinks he can trust. Trust Lucius Malfoy? Yes you read that right, Malfoy's going to be the new headteacher, can you imagine how that's going to inflate Draco's stupid blonde head? At least Dumbledore isn't letting them have it all their own way, he's going to job share with Lucius.
Hermione sends her love, she's all excited about seeing Vicky again, i don't know what she sees in him. Anyway, see you in Diagon Alley for supplies? (All new robes, mum nearly had a fit!) Wednesday the 25th alright for you? Dad'll come and pick you up in the car. Write Back!
Ron
Feeling much better for some correspondance, Harry looked at his calender. Only six days to go until the 25th, six days until he saw his friends again. No doubt the invitation included the few days afterwards as well. For the first time that summer, he felt something good was just around the corner. Lightheaded with glee, Harry sat down to compose a reply to Ron.
(A/N) Sorry about the shortness of this chapter, i have to go and get ready for a singing competition, wish me luck!!
