A/n: Ok if anyone even cared to look my first to attempts at a story were complete failures. I found out that you have to read the story before submitting it. Anyway I'll try my third and hopefully more successful story. Also this story will contain language like it there's a back button on the top left side of your screen.
Harry Potter sadly closed his last birthday letter. His 16th birthday had been even better than his 15th even though he received one letter less than he usually did. Getting over Sirius had been the hardest thing in the world it seemed, but Harry did a lot of thinking on the beginning his of his summer. Sirius had lead life to the fullest and Harry planned to do the same.
He was halfway through his second piece of Mrs. Wealsy's amazing cake when his door was opened. He looked up wondering who it could be. Surprisingly it was Dudley. "What do you want," Harry asked. "jus' wondering if you wanted to play some cards with me and the guys," Dudley answered (A/N:A large part of this is a night of poker so if you've never played it it might be hard to understand but it is important to the story). . The cards Dudley was talking of was poker. When Harry got home from school for the summer he saw Dudley with about six of his friends crowded around a large poker table playing Texas Hold'em. Almost everyday Dudley's friends would come over and they would play for hours. Some nights Dudley would come to supper grumpy because he lost a lot of money .Other nights he walked in grinning widely with a bounce in his step announcing loudly for everyone at the table(and possibly the neighbors)that he just won a 35$ pot(A/N I'm American so it'll all be in $ since I don't know pounds.
"You want me to play with you," Harry asked surprised. "Yeah, a couple of the guys couldn't make it tonight so if you wanted to play with us you can, "said Dudley. "Alright I'm game," Harry answered. When they got downstairs there came a chorus of "Harry sit down pimp" "And "Sup Harry haven't seen you in awhile" All of this surprised Harry but he sat down grinning and they passed himsome chips. "5$ buy-in Harry," Frank, one of Dudley's friend's, said to him. Harry suddenly pictured Mrs. Weasly saying" All that hard earned money your parents gave you and your gambling it all off". Just one game he told himself. The one game turned into three by the end of the night. But on the last game of the night he was in last place in the chip count and was getting desperate so he went all in on a Ace King(or big slick in poker terms) of diamonds. Peter, another of Dudley's friends, called immediately. They flipped there cards. "Fuck," Harry muttered. Everyone laughed Peter had two aces (pocket rockets). The flop came and to Harry's (and everyone else's)surprise Queen, Jack, Ten of diamonds came. "Oh my fucking god, "Peter said. Harry grinned. The rest of the night was the same he ended up winning 40$(A/N to some that might seem low but that's the average pot I play in) dollars.
The next day Harry was awoken by Dudley. "Come' on get your lazy ass up," came the loud voice of Dudley. "What the hell are you doing," Harry yelled loudly back at him. "Me n' the guys are going on a road trip you want to come?" "Where are you going?" Harry said sitting up. "Up north" "Fine let me get ready," Harry answered. 1 hour later Harry was in a large SUV with the speakers blowing loudly (If you so gangsta why you tuck your chain in when you walk in the club). "So where north exactly are we going," Harry asked loudly over the speakers. "Pier's parents own a small cabin and we're going to stay there for awhile, so I hope you brought your wallet we're going to be playing a lot of cards." Answered Dudley. About 200 miles later they were flying down an interstate go at least 30 miles over the speed limit. "Does Dudley even have a license," Harry asked to Frank sitting next to him. "Yeah but I don't know how long he'll be able to keep it." Frank answered laughing. "DUD THAT'S THE EXIT "screamed Piers from the back. To most people it would have been too late to turn but not to Dudley. They hit the railing on the side of the road as Dudley tried to make an almost 90 degree angle turn doing almost 100. The railing fish-tailed them and they spun around almost three full times before they fell off a large cliff on the edge of the interstate. They hit ground with a huge crunch and rolled 3 times. The last thing Harry heard was "Oh my god how did we let this happen , Lord Tirom is going to be pissed……….
A/N: SO here's the first chapter of hopefully a large story. I know this was kind of a boring chapter and all that happened was a lot of poker. That was to explain how the relationship between Harry and Dudley began. Also if you read the last sentence you'll notice a little spoiler I left for you. I plan on making this a H/G but I'm not sure yet depends on where the story goes. R/R
