Chapter one: Dizzy

It was a scorching hot summers' day in Privet Drive. Everyone was inside finding all the shelter they could. Exept one very skinny, black haired, bespectacled boy who was bent over pulling the weeds from the garden of number 4 privet drive. His name was Harry Potter.

'You finished yet boy? I have plenty of other chores for you, you know.' A shrill voice asked.

'Yes Aunt Petunia' Replied Harry. He was used to this. He had been home from hogwarts 9 days and already could not wait to get back.

He absent-mindedly rubbed the back of his sunburnt neck and winced instantly. He had been outside for 3 hours. He needed a drink but first had to fix the tv arial. He got up, and trying not to fall back over he went a got the ladder. His stomach grumbled but he ignored it. It had been awhile since he had eaten, but knew that he definitaly wouldn't get anything before he got up on the roof and did his task.

Climbing slowly up the ladder he reached the roof and began to work.

Half an hour later he was definitaly getting dizzy from lack of food. he was almost finished though. Dudley came waddling along and started throwing rocks at harry while he stuffed his face full of food.

'Go away Dudley! Can't you see i'm trying to fix your good damn tv?' harry yelled in fustration, knowing it wouldn't help.

He was getting very dizzy.

Suddenly the world seemed to be spinning. He tried to contol himself but then everything went black.

Harry opened his eyes. It took him about half a miniute to figure out what was happening. He was lying on the ground and the roof looked very high up. dudley was poking him with a stick.

' what's wrong with you freak? can't you handle being up high?'

harry tried to speak but his mouth didnt seem to want to move. Everywhere was aching, but amazingly it didnt seem like anything was broken. Just then Harry heard another voice sending fear through his body.

'GET UP! YOU LAZY, DISRESPECTFUL. FREAK! Get back on the roof. Oh you better watch out when you're done. You know whats coming you wierdo! And you deserve it!'

It was Uncle Vernon. He kicked harry in the gut and stormed away. Harry was left to wonder what his punishment would be and to try and climb the ladder again. It took him a full 5 minutes but he made it up. Definitaly not for the first time so far this summer, Harry's thoughts wondered to Sirius. He was so guilty and miserable. It was his fault. He was a freak. It was his fault. He wondered what Sirius would say if he could see him. Nothing good.

Trying to get his mind off the subject that it always seemed to wonder to, He got to work. It took him a lot longer to finish the job than he expected as he was always careful to sit down every now and then so he didnt collapse again. As darkness was falling and the job was done, He got up and went to the ladder.

Only the ladder wasnt there.

He yelled out in annoyance. Thats when Dudley came back with an evil smile. Harry knew at once who took the lader.

'Dudley let me down!' He yelled, feeling worried. He didn't know if his body could handle staying up here for much longer.

Dudley just kept laughing and waddled away.

'DUDLEY! damn it!'

It was night time now. The warm smell of food reached his nose. suddenly he got such a bad feeling of hunger he collasped to his knee's. This was not good. It was getting very chilly. Harry got prepared to spend a night on the roof, trying not to think about what Ron and Hermione would say if they could see him. It was very cold.
