The next morning, Harry was woken up by a soft tapping at his window. He grabbed his glasses and got up.
Harry pulled back the curtains to see that Hedwig had returned. She had a large stack of letters tied to her leg.
He quickly untied them and ripped open the top envelope. It was from Hermione.
He read the rest and then set them down. He looked at his clock and decided that he would go on down so he didn't get in trouble.
When he got down there, all three Dursleys were crowded around the window.
Harry looked over his fat cousins head and peered out of the window.
The first thing his eyes saw was a moving van. Someone was moving in beside them.
Harry saw many peices of furniture go into the house. But the three trunks he saw is what startled him the most since one of them bore the Hogwarts crest.
Then, Harry saw a girl, no older than he himself, come walking out from behind the truck. This girl was a head shorter than Harry, she was quite skinny, she had very prominent features, and she was, in Harry's opinion, beautiful.
Harry ran up the stairs and quickly got out pen and paper and hastily wrote a note to this mysterious girl. This is what it read:
You go to Hogwarts? What year are you? Do you know your house? What's your name? How old are you? Send a reply back with Hedwig, my owl.
Harry Potter
He folded the note and tied it to Hedwig whom immediatly sent it over to the girl.
Harry then began to pace around his room and within five minutes, he had to let Hedwig back in.
He took the note off of Hedwig's leg and unfolded in. He read:
Yes, I go to Hogwarts. This is my first year there but I'll be a sixth year and I don't know what house I'm in yet. I'll find that out when I get there. I am 15 and I'll be sixteen in October and my name's Bridgette, Bridgette Johnson. I can't believe I'm neighbors with Harry Potter!
Bridgette
Harry sent another note to her and then, to Harry, the rest of the day was over in a matter of minutes.
Later that night, Harry feel asleep thinking of her and around eleven, Aunt Petunia came in and this time she had a box with her, and a long slender rod of wood.
Then, Aunt Petunia muttered, "Lumos," and the slender rod of wood lite up at the tip. She then placed the box on his desk chair. She removed the lid so he could see the contents of the box and then stepped back. She looked at Harry and then whispered, to him as much as herself, "I'm sorry that you've had to go through this torture for so long. I'm sorry I've kept so many secrets from you. It will all be revealed soon enough. I'm sorry my dear Harry."
She backed up to the door and gazed at the sleeping figure of Harry. Tears once again filled her eyes. She let them fall but soon wiped them away and then muttered, "Nox," and the wand light was extenguished. She slowly backed out of the room and shut the door behind her.
