Chapter 2- Harry's present

That night at dinner, Vernon and Petunia were discussing the

orphanage they found for Harry.

"It's called the Home for Unfortunate Children" Petunia said.

"I think you will love it there, Harry. At 8:00 tomorrow morning we will finally be living Harry free!" Vernon announced.

"Vernon, who is going to do the dishes and take out the garbage?" Petunia asked.

"We will just have to get a house keeper! It's not so bad- atleast now we will actually have guests over without telling them that our nephew is a freak." Vernon replied smiling. "You are happy I am leaving here? I should be the one dancing for joy!" Harry exclaimed.

"Harry, you should bend down on your knees and kiss our feet we took you in. You could have been living on the street right now eating used chicken bones living in a cardboard box if it wasn't for your gracious aunt Petunia. I wasn't too excited about you living here. Go on Harry, Thank your aunt for this lovely last meal dinner at this house!" Vernon said pushing Harry into Petunia as Petunia grabbed him into a hug

"I would have loved to live on the street." Harry said as he ripped himself out of the hug.

"Soon you will find out, Harry and you won't like it." Vernon said with laughter.

"I am counting down the minute until I leave this hole in the wall" Harry said.

"Harry, don't talk to your aunt and I like that." Vernon said.

"Why should I listen to two of the most disgusting people I have ever met, my family!" Harry exclaimed.

"Go to your room Harry and until 7:30 tomorrow morning when we take you to that orphanage." Vernon yelled.

Harry ran up the steps to his "room" and saw Hedwig standing on his bed with a letter in her beak and a package attached to her back.

Harry took the letter from her beak and unhooked the package from her back.

The letter wrote:

Dear Harry,

We have heard of your bad news and we feel bad for you. You probably think it's great news! We sent you a little present for you. Don't worry you can use it even without a wand. Hermoine saw it on Diagon Alley and loved it. We are trying to get a hold of Dumbeldore but he seems to be busy with the death of his mother. We will take Hedwig from you in fear that she will be the only owl in an animal shelter and that she will beat up all the other owls with her big beak. Please send her with a goodbye letter at 7:59, the moment before you leave the Dursleys house. Thanks for being a great friend and we

will try to get a way for you to come back to Hogwarts.

Sincerely,

Ron and Hermoine

P.S. we already wrote you directions for our present.

Harry closed the letter and opened his present.

It was a book with writing on the cover. He opened it up and saw Hermoine wrote in little letters:

This is a communication book between the three of us. We all have one. Don't worry muggles can't see the writing. All they see is blank paper. Write to us everyday and every night and we will write you back. Harry I am going to miss you Harry. Good luck!

-Hermoine

Harry opened the book and decided to see what would happen if he wrote something. So he wrote the word "hi" in big bold letters.

Two seconds later Hermoine wrote hi back in script.

Then Ron wrote "see how cool our gift is. You can use it in the orphanage and no one will be able to read it."

"Thanks you guys but I have to pack we are leaving at 8 am tomorrow" Harry wrote back.

"Don't forget to send Hedwig tomorrow morning- bye Harry" Ron wrote.

"Bye Harry good luck with everything. I hope to see you again."

"Goodnight!" Harry wrote as he closed the book.

Harry was very pleased with the book and knew it would come in handy these days.

He decided to go to sleep early so he will be well rested and up for

anything the next day.
