Chapter Four

An Unwelcomed Reunion

Harry and Ron made their way through the streets of Surrey. They came across the playground where Harry first saw Sirius when he was a dog and where he first was picked up by the Knight Bus.

Harry saw in the foggy distance the dreaded street sign of Privet Drive. The turned the corner to walk up Privet Drive when Harry heard a noise behind them.

Harry quickly turned around swearing that he saw something out of the corner of his eye.

"What is it Harry?" asked Ron

"Nothing." He replied

They made their way up to 4 Privet Drive. Harry went up to the door and knocked. A moment later uncle Vernon opened the door with an expression of surprise and anger.

"What do you want?" Vernon said coldly

"I need to get the rest of my stuff." Harry answered

"Well are you finally moving out for good." He said with a hopeful expression

"I don't know." Harry replied

"Well at least you and you friend are dressed proper." He said while eyeing Ron "Come in and hurry up before I change my mind."

Harry and Ron rushed through the door and trudged up the stairs into Harry's room. They saw all of Dudley stuff thrown all over the floor.

Harry went over to the loose floorboard which had a pile of Dudley's dirty clothes on it. Harry picked up the pile of clothes and threw them out his window.

Harry took off the floorboard and saw a bag of weed instead of his possessions.

Harry grew angry in the face and stomped downstairs and Ron followed. He went into the dining room and went into the backyard and saw Dudley hanging out with two of his friends.

Harry went up to Dudley and said "Where the hell is my stuff!"

"I'm not telling you shit!" Dudley replied

"Tell me or I tell your secret!" Harry said

"Fine I tell you." He said "It's in the tool shed."

Harry went into the shed and found his trunk and his Firebolt except it was snapped in half. He was by this time red in the face furious. He ran out and screamed at Dudley "What happened to my broom?"

"We needed to use it to enforce our drug deals." He said

Harry threw a punch into Dudley's face. Dudley's friends ran at Harry and Ron. Harry clothe lined his opponent while Ron was on his opponent's back. Dudley and his friends were on the ground moaning in pain.

Harry made his way into the shed and unlocked his trunk. He pulled out his invisibility cloak and he took out his wand and pointed it at the firebolt and said "Reparo!"

The broom piece flew together and bonded so it looked like it hadn't been scratched. Harry grabbed Dudley's old tent and a box of matches. They escaped through the fence and ran down Privet Drive.
