Harry had spent the first four days reading, Hermione had sent 8 books in total for Harry to read. When Harry wasn't reading he was writing, writing letters to Ginny, just to tell her that he was thinking about her. Harry had also sent a few letters of importance. He sent one to the Weasley twins in hope they could help with some defense equipment, and things they wouldn't sell, reminding them the unfortunate event where Malfoy got away, using one of their inventions. He also sent one to Remus in hope he would help Harry on his trip to visit his family home.
Remus sent his letter back immediately saying "give me a time and date and I will lead you there." The letter from Fred and George didn't come until the start of Harry's last week at the Dursley's.
Harry, pal, mate,
We knew this letter would come, but we did not expect it so soon, we didn't realize you had matured so much to see how ingenious we actually are. But then again you are our first and only investor; and to invest in something so brilliant, well you must have got that gift from your mate Voldey because you certainly don't have any of those qualities.
Well first thing first, like always we are already one step ahead of you. After last year we began to make a defense line, just for you, and don't worry none of those gits will get their hands on our quality stuff, ohh including those death eaters as well. Well I guess we could expand our line for Ron and Hermione.
Well we shall show you our line when you return to the burrow, but until then, say hello to your cousin for us.
Fred and George
Harry found that reading made the days go fast and in no time Harry woke to the morning of the 30th.Harry founda letter from the Weasley's saying that they shall pick him up at 12.01 sharp that night. Harry excitedly got up and packed. Once packed, Harry left his room to have breakfast with the Dursley's and to inform them of the great news that they to would enjoy.
"What are you so happy about?"
"Well I'm leaving tonight 12.01 sharp; you will finally be rid of me!"
"Well I do think that is something to be happy about, ey Petunia." Vernon said with a chuckle. Petunia did not seem pleased in the thought at all. Harry like his Uncle disregarded Petunia's emission of compassion due to an upset stomach or something. Mrs. Dursley certainly does not show compassion, especially to her nephew, she always saw Harry as a disgrace to their family. Harry got up and left for his room in hope that devouring him self in books would make the time pass quickly.
Harry looked up from his book; he heard a knock on his door. The Weasley's could not be here yet it's not yet dark. "Come in." To Harry's surprise, Aunt Petunia walked in. Never had Aunt Petunia seen Harry's room as a place of privacy, so why did she feel the need to knock. "Harry, I need to get this out." Harry didn't feel the need to interrupt he wanted to see where this would go, so Aunt Petunia went on. "Harry, I know I have never shown you any love, any compassion, or any understanding," Harry muttered quietly "that's an understatement". "Well the truth is Harry, I loved you mother, she was my blood, my sister. I was always jealous of her; she had the undivided attention of my parents. But when that Lord Voldemort, killed her I told myself that, that magic is the reason why my only sister died, I was devastated. So when you turned up on my door step, I never wanted to see another member of my family succumb to magic. I knew you would be like them so in the hope of treating you horrendous, I hoped it would squash the magic out of you." Harry laughed at the thought, what good would that do. "I know Harry, the way I treated you is inexcusable. But I have always loved you Harry, even though I have never shown you it. Well Harry good luck, I have always believed in you." And with that Aunt Petunia left his room.
Harry sat for a while just going through what his Aunt Petunia had said. How much did she really know? By the time Harry had gone over the scene numerous times he found that it would only be 10 minutes till the Weasley's arrived. Harry was in the front lounge room at 11.59. Harry watched the seconds pass. Simultaneously as the clock in the Dursley's lounge room chimed, a loud bang filled the street of Privet Drive. Harry pulled his wand from his pocket. Harry opened the front door he looked out side and saw a large mass of death eaters walking down Privet Drive.
"I'm going to cover you but you need to get to Ms Figgs she will be able to help you. Ok on the count of three you are going to run to Ms Figg's, I'm going to try and distract them while you run". Harry looked at the Dursley's he wasn't even sure if the Dursley's fully comprehended what he had said but he didn't have time to reassure them." One, two THREE" The Dursley's ran as fast as they could, Harry was shouting every spell he could think of, even the one's he had read in a book and hadn't even practice. The Dursley's had disappeared in to the house. Harry hid behind a wall trying to think what to do next.
"Come on, think Harry" all Harry wanted to do was run and hide. But the Weasley's will be arriving any second to collect him he didn't want any one to get hurt. Harry stood tall gained composure and stood to front the death eaters. There would have been about 50 death eaters. Harry new this was a death wish there is no way he could face them and defeat all off them. All he wanted to do was make sure the Weasley's arrive and leave safely, so Mr. Weasley could inform the order and capture as many death eaters as possible, but that meant Harry had to take down as many death eaters before they arrive. Harry wasn't sure how they where going to get to Privet Drive, he hoped they where arriving in a Ministry car because that meant they would see what was happening before they got in to the line of fire.
Harry threw as many curses as he could and summoning there wands from them. Harry had taken down around 5 death eaters, not much compared to how many there where. A loud crack came from the Dursley's house Harry thought no they had apparated to the Dursley's house. "Please don't come out side" they would get hit. Harry saw the door open he screamed "NO" but to late Remus was hit by a curse. Mr. Weasley, Kinglsey Shacklebolt, Tonks and a dozen or so other aurors Harry had never met began to fight. Harry leapt beside Remus. He was hurt not dead but hurt badly, his breathing shortened Harry didn't know what to do. Harry thought why, why does this always happen to people I care about most, this cant happen. He looked at Mr. Weasley trying to defend himself against so many Death Eaters, "I can't let this happen to any one else I love". A surge of energy filled Harry. He didn't know what was happening but he got up and stood among the aurors.
"Harry get back", yelled Mr. Weasley. Through that distracting Harry saw a death eater throw a curse aimed right at Mr. Weasley. Harry yelled "No" But for some unknown reason he through his arm out and a surge of blue energy emitted from his hand and not only did it hit the Death Eater but hit the Death Eaters behind him also. "Harry, that's about 30 Death Eaters down", Harry was shocked, as was Mr. Weasley looking stunned yelled "Keep going!" Harry tried but he couldn't, he tried with all his might but nothing happened. Majority of the Death Eaters that where still standing disapperated, shocked by the energy that emitted from the boy they where trying to capture. With in no time there was no movement from the other side. They where either stunned or gone.
All those who where there turned and looked at Harry, either in awe or frightened as like Harry might explode. "I'm calling for aurors to come and captured these Death Eaters, this is on of the biggest captures where ever had", said Kingsley Shacklebolt as he looked at Harry in awe. "Better get you to the Borrow, the Dursley's are already there, Remus is fine. Tonks has taken him to Mungo's". Said Mr. Weasley, Harry tried to talk, "Ah Harry every one is wanting to here this, may as well explain it in a large group so you wont have to repeat your self". Harry took hold of Mr. Weasley's arm; with a slight chuckle and they were gone.
