The next morning things had changed considerably. The storm had blown over and the sky was clear. Harry walked into Ginny's room to find his cousin packing her suitcase. "Ah, getting ready for the horrible adventures with the Dursley's I see," Harry said picking up a shirt that was lying on the floor and handing it to her. "Thanks, and yeah, can't wait. NOT." Harry smiled. "Er, can I ask you a question?" Harry asked sitting down on Ginny's bed. "Well, seeings as you just asked me a question, yes, go ahead."
"What's going on with you and Ron?" Sydney turned to her cousin and laughed. "Nothing really, why?" "Because I think Ron fancies you." Sydney's eyes scrunched up and she pinched the bridge of her nose. "Look Har', nothing is going on, really. I promise, and if something should happen, you'll be the first to know, okay?" "Before Hermione?" he said. She nodded and hugged her cousin. "Come on, Uncle Vernon doesn't want us getting there any later than noon because the neighbors might see."
Harry rolled his eyes and grabbed one of Sydney's bags. She picked up her trunk and another suitcase and walked out of the room. Harry sighed at the thought of going back to the Dursley's, but he didn't want to seem rude by asking to stay here any longer.
Everyone was waiting downstairs to say good-bye. "I baked you two a cake. You'll share it with the rest of your family won't you?" Mrs. Weasley asked. Harry nodded. Hermione kissed Harry on the cheek and hugged Sydney tightly. "See you when school starts. Just think of our trips to Hogsmeade when you get lonely. Of course I don't think that will happen when you'll be with Harry for the rest of the summer. And besides it's only two weeks anyway. Write to me will you?" she asked. Sydney nodded and grabbed a handful of flew powder "4 Private Drive." And with that she was gone.
"Take care of her Harry dear. She's going to need a lot of guidance in the next few days. Let her morn, but let her know that you're there for her." Harry nodded once more hugged Mrs. Weasley and waved good-bye to everyone else. The next few seconds were a blur. Vernon Dursley stood in front of the fireplace. He yanked Harry out of it by the neck. "Your home early. At least your cousin has taught you to listen to us for once. Go on up to your room. We'll call you down when lunch is ready. Marge is coming for tea this afternoon. So please try and calm yourselfbefore she gets here. Tell Sydney to do so too." Harry nodded and headed up the stairs. The house was quiet apart from the sounds of beeping and yelling coming from Dudley's room.
Harry's bedroom door was open. Sydney was sitting on a bed place under a window. She sighed as he entered. "You okay?" he asked. "I'm okay as I'll ever be, living with the Dursley's that is." She smiled and Harry smiled back. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad anymore with Sydney there. Uncle Vernon stormed up the stairs and the door to the bedroom swung open. "I'm going out to pick up a few things. Petunia is at her Garden Club meeting, she'll be back at 1. Dudley is staying here." "Alright Uncle Vernon. Drive safely." He stared at her for a moment and then closed the door. They heard him walk back down the stairs and the front door open and close.
The house was quiet again. Sydney and Harry were unpacking when a noise came from down the hall. It sounded like a moan. Harry looked at Sydney. She cracked a smile. They snuck down the hall Sydney stuck her ear against the door. "OH YES!" Another moan. Dudley was in there by himself. Harry opened the door. Dudley's back was to them, but it was quite obvious what he was doing. There was a naked picture of Britney Spears in front of him. Harry closed the door quietly and the busted out laughing. Dudley didn't have time to zip up his pants when he opened the door to see who was laughing. "God Dudders, thinking about your mom, can't keep it in your pants can you?" Sydney asked laughing even harder.
