Chapter 3
Harry froze in mid-step, and almost fell over. Turning to see who said that. A dark silhouette of an old woman with fizzy hair loomed in front of him. Harry finally realized that it was Mrs. Figg from down the street.
Mrs. Figg was a squib that he just found out last year and that Dumbledore had here keep and eye on him. She was really old and did I mention kind of batty, and loved to talk about her many cats.
"Mrs. Figg you scared me, I thought you were someone else " Harry said relieved
"Sorry to pry but what were you doing "Mrs. Figg asked
"Oh I was just going to hide my school trunk so I can get it when I go to Ron Weasley's house tomorrow " Harry replied.
"Oh, how fun " Mrs. Figg said
"Well I better be getting inside it's a little cold " Harry said
"Alright, bye Harry dear " said and started to walk away.
Running the rest of the way, he quietly let himself in then cat walked the rest of the way. Just as he closed his door, his aunt and uncle's bedroom door opened and Uncle Vernon stepped out.
"Whew that was close " Harry whispered.
Harry got into bed and fell asleep rather quickly. That night his dream was a strange one. Harry found himself walking down a long dark corridor. There were doors everywhere. When he tried to open on the handle turned red hot, he tried the next one same thing. All of the sudden the room got cold as death. Turning around Harry saw a seven foot Dementor, he could feel the cold catching in his chest his eyes were fogging over and once more he could hear his mother's pleading voice screaming in his ears. Harry diced into his pocket and come out with his wand, and summoned a happy thought.
"EXPECTO PATRONUM " Harry yelled waving his arms but it did nothing, the wand turned into a rubber chicken, it was one of the Weasley twins fake wands.
"Damn it " Harry shouted, he through it down and started to run.
But three other Dementors cut him off. Now the screaming in his ears was becoming unbearable. Harry's knees gave way he landed hard on the stone floor. A pair of strong clammy hands grasps him around the throat and pushes his face upward; Harry could smell its putrid breath, see their sightless eyes just and inch from his mouth Harry awoke.
Harry eyes snapped open, beads of sweat was on his face, Harry's hands went to his through his hair, glad that it was only a dream, feeling around his throat extremely glad that there was not Dementors hands around it. Even though he was only awake for a moment he recognized those halls as the halls in Azkaban wizard prison. Soon he fell back into a restless slumber not to wake until seven thirty.
Harry waited up until he heard his aunt and uncle got up. Just as he opened his door and walked head long into Dudley and was knocked to the floor.
"Watch were your going scarhead " Dudley said.
"Why don't you watch were your going tubby " Harry said
"Make me " Dudley said then added wickedly "Go anywhere last night "
"N-no why would I go anywhere in the middle of the night " Harry replied stuttering
"Oh I don't know " Dudley said pushing pas him then elbowing Harry in the back.
Harry stared dagger at Dudley's back as he waddled to the bathroom. Making his way down to the kitchen. His aunt was already cooking their cooking breakfast.
"Here cook the breakfast and try not to burn anything " Aunt Petunia said, "I'll be right back "
"Yes ma'am " Harry muttered under his breath.
"What did you say? " Aunt Petunia snapped.
"Nothing " Harry replied
Aunt Petunia eyed him suspiciously, shrugged her shoulders and left the kitchen.
Grumbling, Harry began to turn the ham and sausages. Turning the stove off, Harry went over to the cupboard to get the dished out when his scar seared with intense pain again. Harry slapped his hand to his scar.
"OUCH!" Harry yelled, "Why is this happening again "
Harry continued to set the table and dished the breakfast. By the time he had finished, the rest of his so-called family came in and all sat down and began to eat.
Aunt Petunia was updating them on the latest gossip around the neighborhood. Uncle Vernon was getting ready to go to work and Dudley was just being Dudley, stuffing his fat face and watching the telly.
After finishing up Uncle Vernon pecked Aunt Petunia on the cheek and left. Harry began gathering up the dished and putting the dishes into the dishwasher. Harry checked his watch ten thirty
"Well now what do I do " Harry asked himself "I'll go see if my trunk is still in place "
Harry walked out of the door and down to the corner of Privet Drive, he started to kick around in the bushed until he heard a soft thud, Harry looked around to see if anybody was out and about, no one was so he pulled the cloak off of it.
"Good I was afraid that it would be gone " Harry said, "I'll want here till one o'clock "
He sat down, and Harry's mind began to wonder. To the dream he had last night and the one yesterday, why did I have the dreams Harry thought this feels like last summer. Harry sat there like that for he don't know how long but when he glance at his watch twelve forty-five
"Wow, time sure has gone by fast, what did I do " Harry said disbelievingly "They should be here any minute "
Harry jumped up, but when he looked down the street he saw Dudley and his gang walking up the street towards him. Thinking quickly he remembered the cloak behind him, so he put it over him and climbed on top of his trunk and waited.
As they neared their conversation drifted to ware he could hear it.
"So big D," Piers Polkiss said, "Who are we going to beat up today "
"How about my cousin Harry, he's always fun " Dudley replied
"Yes Harry Hunting, " said Gordon another one of Dudley's friends "My Favourite "
"Ok then lets go back there to see if he's in the house, " Dudley said turning around and almost tripping over his fat feet.
"Whew that was close, " said climbing out from under the cloak.
Just he pulled the cloak off of him her heard a car horn honk. Harry jumped and turned around. A yellow cab pulled up behind him the door opened and Ron Weasley stepped out.
"Hey how it going Harry " Ron said
Ron had at least grown a foot since last, year, but he was still gangly a few more freckles, and he had muggle clothing on fortunately. "Boring, how about you " Harry replied
"Not much, well let's get going need some help " Ron said
"Yes please, " Harry said "Oh no I forgot Hedwig damn it "
"Not a problem Harry dear " Mrs. Weasley said also stepping out of the cab.
Mrs. Weasley was a plump motherly person especially to Harry, and thought of him as her son, which made him feel good.
"Accio Hedwig, " Mrs. Weasley said pointing her wand in the direction of his house.
A moment later Hedwig and cage came zooming towards them. Harry caught her in his arms
"Thanks Mrs. Weasley " Harry said gratefully
"Don't mention it dear, but hurry up lets get a move on " Mrs. Weasley said.
After a second Harry's trunk was loaded into the trunk of the car. They climbed in, only to bet by more Weasley's, Fred and George who ere twins and were identical down to the last freckle, Ginny the only daughter, she had indeed changed a little over the summer she seemed to fill out a bit more.
"Hi ya Harry " all three of them coursed.
"Hey, Fred, George, Ginny " Harry said looking around at them "Have a nice summer "
"Yes, actually we have had a good summer, nice prophets " George answered.
Their mother have them a disapproving look. Clearly she didn't like how they were making money. Harry's mink switched to Percy, he wandered if he should say anything, and then decided to.
"Um Mrs. Weasley " Harry said.
"Yes " she replied
"Has anything changed between you and Percy? " he asked cautiously
"Oh yes, Ron! " Mrs. Weasley said "Didn't you tell him "
Oops, no I didn't sorry mum, " Ron said
"Tell me what? " Harry asked
"That Percy moved back in with us after Fudge witnessed the duel between him and Dumbledore and You-Know-Who and told Percy that you were right all along, that day Percy apologized that day to Arthur." Mrs. Weasley explained.
"That's great " Harry said, "Are we going to the Burrow or Headquarters "
"Um... the Burrow " all five of them said at the same time then burst out laughing.
No sooner had they said that, the cab came to a halt that nearly knocked them to the floor.
"Hey what's the big idea " Fred exclaimed.
Scrambling out of the cab, Mrs. Weasley gave Harry's some muggle money to pay the driver with because she didn't understand muggle money. When he had paid the driver they got Harry's trunk out and headed up the walk to the house.
"Wingardium Leviosa " George said pointing his wand at the trunk and magically it began to rise into the air, and pushed up the walkway.
Ron, Ginny, George, Fred went into the house, before him and Mrs. Weasley got up to the font stairs.
"What's their hurry " Harry asked
"I don't know but its kind of chilly to here lets get inside " Mrs. Weasley said.
Opening the door, Harry cast an eye around the dark, silent room, and uneasy feeling crept up inside of him. Feeling in his pocket, no wand. Damn he thought.
Harry froze in mid-step, and almost fell over. Turning to see who said that. A dark silhouette of an old woman with fizzy hair loomed in front of him. Harry finally realized that it was Mrs. Figg from down the street.
