A day to remember
The new school year was approaching, and Harry was feeling better that he would soon be back with his friends. It was a nice sunny day outside so Harry went and lay in the garden under the window again "a week to go till I return to school" thought Harry, He was quite happy as Aunt Marge had returned to the city and he had happily stayed in his room feeling no guilt at all for the whole visit.
The news came on and Harry again listened in "The government today discussed a way to help the homeless" the reporter said, Harry sighed, and went inside as it would soon be dinner time. "You weren't listening in on the news again were you!" said Uncle Vernon, "No not really" Harry replied and sat at the table "anyway your news is boring" he said.
"we have to go out again tonight boy" said uncle Vernon "and so you better behave being in the house on your own", Harry said he would and went up to his room after helping put the dishes away. Little did Harry know, that it was another ploy to get the Dursley's out of the house, this had been done last year when he had to go and attend a hearing at the ministry.
When the car had gone out the driveway, and was surely half way down Magnolia Crescent, there was a knock on the door downstairs, he got up off his bed and went to see who it was. "Professor Lupin!" said Harry surprised, Remus Lupin smiled "Yes Harry it is me" he said "Go pack your trunk and everything you might want" he said "you have been cleared by Dumbledore to now come live with me…that is if you want to?", Hearing this Harry tore back up the stairs and threw everything into his trunk for school and threw in some extras like cloths.
Lupin came up to help carry the trunk "so how did you get them out this time?" asked Harry, "Oh well we organised it to be a…parent teacher meeting at your cousins school" said Lupin, Harry grinned." I must write and tell Ron and Hermione this news" Harry thought to himself as they were driven by Ministry car to the Leaky Cauldron "we will be staying here till tomorrow" said Lupin "and then you will have a surprise waiting", "I have already had one surprise" thought Harry.
Harry went up to his bed and fell asleep, he was happy "no more Dursley's" was the last thought that ran through his mind. Harry woke the next morning, happier then usual, he had not yet written that letter to Hermione and Ron yet but he would do that later. At breakfast he was happily eating his bacon and eggs when he heard a familiar voice "Harry, oh Harry" said a girl with bushy brown hair, "Hermione!" said Harry, "How did you know?" he asked, Hermione smiled "Professor Lupin and Dumbledore were telling Ron's dad and we got to know the news" she said.
"Where is…?" Harry started to ask, "I am here mate" said Ron's unmistakable voice, Harry smiled and hugged them both.
