Harry Potter and the Last Horcrux (Chapter 2)
Harry knew it was going to be a very long journey he had to make. Along the way he hoped to find
the remaining horcux. He bid Mcgonagall farewell and trotted back upstairs and back to sleep for he
new tommorow was going to be a big day. Ron and Hermione were coming to pick him up for the
wedding after they where thrown out of the dursleys, Ron wanted to hex Dudley but Hermione told him not too, "We're of age now Hermione so it won't matter" Ron quipped "They are still muggles Ron" replied Hermione "Still" Ron said dreaming of a hex to use on Dudley "You can't Ron you'll get sent to Azkaban" at the mention of the wizard prison Ron shut up. Ron and Hermione aparated back to the Burrow and bickered all the way up the street before disappearing from Harry's view.
The next day Harry was woken by a thud on his door being confused he looked through the window
expecting to see Ron,Fred and George but it was nothing but sky and clouds with a few birds, then he realised that the thump that had woken him up was from his door and from behind it Hermione's and Ron's voices floated through it. "You in there Harry" came Hermione's voice "Wonder if he is in there" came Rons voice "No I'm still in here I'm just getting dressed you can wait in the lounge room or in case you get tempted you might want to wait outside. I'll only be two seconds" came Harry's muffled reply as he piled on his clothes and quickly cleaned his room and piled his belongings into his open trunk.
It took him a few minutes and he was ready to leave. He wished the Dursleys a quick goodbye, well a very quick goodbye, but as he came to Aunt Petunia's goodbye he stopped himself not because he was particularly fond of her or because she had loved him quite the opposite she hated what he stood for and what he represented yet there was something burning inside him about her ever since she got a howler from Dumbledore. He thought for it for a second then went away and asked the question because he realised he'd never speak or see them again "what was that howler about?" Harry asked stareing at his aunt "what?" was all she said in reply "what was that howler you got from Dumbledore at the start of my fifth year after the Dementors attacked me and Dudley" Harry said eager to leave but also eager to get the answer to this burning question. Dudley and Vernon both also stared from Harry to Petunia as if they where watching a tennis match.
"I had made a promise to him through accepting you into this house that I accepted you as family and that I had to house you. I'm sorry we didn't treat you how we should have but it's so hard to because my sister died I don't want to get to close I don't want to lose another family member that I was close to. I'm sorry I treated you badly, I'm sorry for almost stopping you from going to Hogwarts I thought you would be more closer to the dangers of your past there. I'm sorry" Petunia managed to say all this without stopping and without interruption from Dudley or Vernon but they where both gobsmacked by what they just heard. Harry was bemused by what she had just said then he regained his composuer "Thats okay I forgive you. I'm sorry I have to leave but I do."
