Harry couldn't help but just stare at the letter he got from Hermione as he reread it hoping that he had just read it wrong the first time.
"This can't be!" Harry said to himself as he looked over the letter again. "I know I wasn't very nice to people at the end of the school year but if anyone should be mad it should be me! They kept their motives hidden from me and won't tell me anything! I thought we were all a past that night though, I thought we were becoming friends again."
Harry threw down the letter and stood up as he looked at himself in the mirror. The mirror the spoke to him. "You look very handsome young man though you should do something about that hair."
Just what Harry needed, like it wasn't bad enough that his whole day was hell, and now he has a mirror telling him that he needs to do something about his hair. Harry just fell on to the bed and began to pray that it was all a bad dream and that he would wake up from it soon enough. However he knew it wasn't a dream and only time would tell what was really going on here.
Harry dozed off asleep easily and awoke just about dinnertime. He made his way down into the Leaky Cauldron and used one of his last galleons to get some dinner. After he was finished he decided that he would head back to his aunt and uncle's house. There was no telling what was happening but if he got back there he could get his secret stash of galleons and then try to get a hold of Dumbledore to see if he could make heads or tails of the events of the day.
Harry made his way out and once again summoned the Knight Bus. As the bus arrived and Harry got on he looked at Stan and Ernie. "Where too sir?" said Stan to Harry as he boarded the bus.
"Number 4 Privet Drive." Harry said to Stan as he made his way towards a seat.
Ernie just looked at Stan for a moment. "Why would he be going to a muggle section of town like that for?" Stan just shakes his head as he took a seat behind Ernie and prepared for the ride.
Harry just sat down and watched out the window as things flew by him. He knew that in a short few hours he would arrive back at his aunt and uncle's house and would have to deal with them once again. They would not be happy that he left without telling them where he was going. Even if they didn't like him they still wanted to make sure he wasn't out getting them into trouble with his freakish ways.
It was dark when Harry arrived at the house and slowly made his way to the door. He was a bit shocked when he reached the door and found that it was locked. He knew the Dursleys didn't like him all that much but surely they would not lock him out like this unless they thought that he had left for the summer. He pounded on the door trying to get their attention, as he knew they would be up watching the television still.
Uncle Vernon came to the door and just looked at Harry for a moment. "What can I do for you boy?"
Harry was a bit taken back from his uncle's reaction to him. "Uncle Vernon I have had a bad enough day just let me in!"
Vernon grew red in the face as he blocked Harry's entrance to the house. "I don't know who you are boy but no one talks to me that way!"
Harry now knew something was definitely wrong about this situation. "Uncle Vernon you know that I am your nephew Harry Potter even if you don't like me livin with you, you got to allow me in the house!"
Harry was becoming very angry by the way Uncle Vernon was acting and he could see that Uncle Vernon was getting mad as his face became even redder than it was before. "Petunia! Get your butt in here right now!"
Petunia makes her way up behind Vernon and looks at him and then at Harry. "Is something wrong Vernon?"
Harry spoke up before Vernon could even reply. "Aunt Petunia will you please tell Uncle Vernon who I am so I can get in the house and go to my room!"
Petunia just looks at the boy for a moment. "Dear boy do I know you?"
Harry now becoming very angry shocks at the top of his lungs. "I AM HARRY POTTER DAMN IT!"
Vernon just about had enough as he slams the door right in Harry's face. Behind the door he could hear Vernon and Petunia talking. "That boy really had the nerve! Thinking that he lived in a beautiful house like this. I beat that he is just another bum off the street."
Petunia looks at Vernon for a moment. "Vernon he called us aunt and uncle, maybe that was my freak sister's boy."
Harry just look dumbfounded at the door that had been slammed in his face. "What nerve! When Dumbledore hears about this they will pay for kicking me out!" Harry walks down the drive and makes his way onto the street. He figured that there had to be some way to get help and so far no one has been around to help him.
Harry decided that he would take the Knight Bus back to the Leaky Cauldron and then maybe tomorrow he could get a hold of Dumbledore and find out what is happening around here. He had to find out what was happening and just where in hell he was.
As he enters the alley, which he had entered the night before he placed his wand out to summon the Knight Bus again, and again there was a bright blue flash of light that surrounded Harry.
A/N: Sorry I know this is not a long chapter but it did help set up some more of the plot, and the next chapter will probably be short but it will all soon make sense I hope. Please read and review and let me know what you think.
