Summer Vacation at Hermione's
Chapter One
17 year old Harry Potter was reading a birthday card from his best friend, Hermione Granger.
Dear Harry,
Happy birthday! My mom and dad have decided to invite you and Ron to my house for a weekend, if it's ok with your aunt and uncle, of course. After that, if you can come, we can return to the burrow for Bill and Fleur's wedding. Well, I hope you can come, and a happy birthday and I hope you like my present!
Love from,
Hermione
Harry grinned. Besides hating to stay with the Dursleys, Harry was curios to see his best friend's house. Harry grabbed the parcel that sat next to the letter and ripped it open. He found a book of complicated spells and it had a not on it.
Harry-
You can use some of these spells to conquer you-know-who.
Harry looked at the clock on his bedside table, which read 10:00, and and got out of bed. He hoped his uncle was in a good mood. He reached the kitchen where the Dursley's were eating a melon for breakfast. The Dursley's hadn't given up on Dudley's diet. When Harry saw Uncle Vernon was in a bad mood, he turned around slowly, but it was too late.
"What do you want?" Uncle Vernon growled.
"Er, I was just wondering if I could stay with my friends this summer." Harry said. Uncle Vernon was about to say no, when he remembered Harry could do magic.
"I suppose so. It would be nice to get you out of here early." Vernon said. "When are they coming to pick you up?" Harry suddenly realized that Hermione had never said when. "Er, I don't know. I'll ask." Harry felt happy and surprised at Uncle Vernon's approval.
"Well, let me know, and get out!" Uncle Vernon snapped. Harry happily obeyed and jumped two stairs at a time to get to his bedroom to compose a letter to Hermione.
Hermione-
Uncle Vernon says I can come, mainly because he thinks I will turn him and/or his family into something. He still remembers the tail Hagrid gave Dudley. Anyway, when are you going to pick me up? I can't wait to get away from here!
Harry
He went over to his owl's cage and said, "I have a letter for you to send to Hermione." Hedwig gave a hoot to show he understood. Harry fastened the letter to Hedwig's leg, and Hedwig flew away. "Come home soon." He muttered.He bent over to start on his potions homework, which Snape had given a lot of.Every few minutes he would check the sky for a sign of Hedwig. He knew he was being silly, that it would take longer to get a reply, but he couldnt help it.A couple days went by without any sign of Hedwig. Finally, two weeks later, an exhausted Hedwig came home.He dropped the letter on Harry's bed and went to her cage for a bite to eat. Harry ran over to his bed and snached the letter.
Dear Harry,
Mum and Dad will pick you up at 3:00 in the afternoon. Im glad your Uncle agreed, and Ill see you soon.
Hermione
Harry ran downstairs where his uncle was watching the news, and said "Hermione will pick me up at 3:00 tomorrow. Vernon turned purple, hating the thought that he was making Harry happy, but then he remembered Dudleys tail.
"Fine."He said grumpily. Harry skipped over to the kichen, and made himself some toast. By Friday he had finished packing and had done all his homeworkmainly to keep Hermionie happy, and waited at the door for Hermione. At 3:05, a white Toyota came at the door, and a pretty looking Hermione jumped out of the car. She was wearing a light blue dress, and her bushy hair were in french braids.
"Harry!" She shouted happily,and ran over to him, giving him a big hug.His heart fluttered, and he wondered why. Hermiones father, a tall man with light brown hair and a nice Hermione like smile, came out to take Harry's trunk. He went in there car, and happily left Private Drive.
