Chapter Three:

After spending ten long years with the Dursleys, this was the last thing that Harry had ever expected to hear. It just wasn't Dursley-ish.

Professor Dumbledore sat at his large desk with Harry and Dudley sitting in plush chairs in front of him. Dumbledore had just explained to them the arrangement that had been made when Harry was left on the Dursleys' doorstep – raised and protect Harry until he was of age and Dudley wouldn't be sent an owl when he turned 11.

"So I can do magic?" Dudley asked.

Dumbledore nodded. "But I knew that it was your parent's wish for you not to. But now things have changed."

Harry still couldn't believe it.

"You are to meet with a different professor for tutoring each day as well as attend classes. Hopefully this will catch you up." Dumbledore said the Dudley. "And I'm sure that Harry will help you in anyway possible.

Harry could feel Dumbledore's gaze on him. "Yeah sure," he stammered out.

"Good, good." Dumbledore said standing up. "It's been a long day. I suggest a good night's rest."

Harry nodded and stood up with Dudley following suit. Dumbledore led them out of his office.

"Now we'll all make the best of this situation," he said before the boys walked back down the stairs. Harry sure hoped so.


When they got back to the Gryffindor common room, most everyone had already gone off to bed. But Ron and Hermione were still awake. They had said they would wait for Harry to get back with his cousin.

"Blimey," Ron whispered as Harry and Dudley came through the opening behind the Fat Lady. "That's his cousin?"

Hermione elbowed him in the ribs. "Hush!"

"Hiya Harry!" Ron said, making a quick recovery.

"Hi Ron," Harry said walking up to them. He turned to Dudley. "Dudley these are my friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger."

Dudley looked at them, then lent down and whispered something into Harry's ear. "You have friends?"

He nodded yes. And Dudley realized that the tables had been turned. He was now on Harry's turf.

"Well its late," Harry said, pushing Dudley towards the boys dormitory. Ron followed them.

"Night Dudley," Hermione said as she walked towards the girl's side.

Dudley didn't say one word the rest of the night and Harry was thankful that Dean, Seamus and Neville were all asleep when they reached their dorm.

He dreaded what the next day would be like.
