Also, thanks for the tip turnthedoor.


The next day, Dudley got up early in the morning. Must be nerves...I can't stop thinking about Harry's reply. Is it going to come today? Katie did say it would only takes a few hours for the owl to reach the Potters, so Harry must of read it by now. Oh no what did he think?

To settle the butterflies in his stomach, Dudley went downstairs and made himself a cup of tea. Wow, the last time I felt like this, I was about to propose to Rebecca. Without realizing it, Dudley's gaze kept drifting over to the kitchen window. From the table where he was sitting, he had a clear view of the bright, blue morning sky beyond the glass. He would be able to see anything flying towards the house. Weird, using owls to communicate. What's wrong with emails? It's much faster.

An hour passed, and he heard the rest of his family getting up and moving around. He was still sitting at the table, on his third cup of tea (he was drinking very slowly). Once again his eyes quickly darted towards the window and back to his cup. This time though, he eyes went back over to the window. He thought he could see a tiny dot in the distance. He continued to stare at it as it drew closer. His mind was going back and forth. Please don't be a plane, wait no, let it be a plane I don't want to know what Harry said, no no wait I do. Now the object couldn't have been more than a hundred yards away. Wings! It has wings!

"Katie!" called Dudley suddenly, "I think Nyro is back!" The excitement in his voice was clear, as was the anxiousness. However, his eagerness was nowhere close to Katie's.

"EEEEK!" came a high-pitched shriek from above him, causing him to cover his ears in pain. "Omg, she wrote back. She must be so excited! I can't wait to read the letter." Katie kept on talking as she made her way down the stairs and into the kitchen. Dudley was still staring at the owl through the window, doubt running through his mind, when his daughter skipped over and opened the window. No more than three seconds later, Nyro zoomed into the house, cleanly landed on the kitchen table, and held out his leg, which had two letters tied to it.

Katie untied the letters from her owl, and after giving him some food, let him fly upstairs to his cage, which was in her room. She handed one of the letters to Dudley, while ripping the other open. Katie was reading her letter at top speed, her eyes darting back and forth across the paper and the smile growing bigger on her face. Dudley looked down at the letter in his hand, slowly and carefully he opened it up and began to read.

Dudley,

Umm, I guess I don't know where to start. Well first off, I'm surprised you contacted, even more surprised you have magical daughter, and extremely surprised and shocked that our daughter's are best friends. Like you said, it is weird how these things happen. I honestly don't know what to say. I can't even believe you were able to go to college and then got someone to marry you (not trying to be rude, just being truthful…). Lily is very excited having just found out she is related to her best friend, and she is writing a letter back to Katie write now as well. I do agree that we should get together sometime. How does dinner next Saturday sound? You and your family can come over to our place. The address is 6 Brookwood Rd in London. To answer your question about how I got famous...well that's quite a long story. There is no way I would be able to fit it in a letter, it would probably take seven whole books to write the entire story out. We can talk more on Saturday. Just warning you, I might be able to forgive you for all the things in the past, but my wife looks like she is ready to murder you. She is giving me a death glare as I am writing this. Hopefully I can calm her down by the time you come over.

See you soon,

Harry

When Dudley read Harry's comment about him going to college and getting married, he almost laughed out loud. I guess I deserve that. As he got further into the letter, the knot in his stomach slowly loosened, until almost all the tension was gone. Now the only thing he was worried about was Harry's wife. He's not mad at me, or at least he has forgiven me! Thank god, I don't know what I would have done otherwise. But now I have to worry about his wife...she seems like she is the type of person that holds a grudge and is probably not happy with how I treated Harry.

"Dad...dad...DAD!" cried Katie, buzzing with excitement. Her eyes were still glued to the paper, but were so wide they looked like they were going to pop out of her head. "Is it true?! Lily says we are going to the Potter's for dinner on Saturday!"

"Yes honey," said Dudley, "Harry gave me their address. Do you think I should reply saying we are coming?"

"Yes of course! Here's some parchment, hurry up!" exclaimed Katie, handing him some paper.

"Ok, calm down, I'm writing," said Dudley, grabbing a pen that was lying on the table.

Harry,

Thanks for the invitation, we will be there. Katie is jumping up and down next to me, she is extremely excited and I'm sure Lily is too. See you on Saturday.

Sincerely,

Dudley

As soon as Dudley was done, Katie ripped the paper out from under him and quickly ran upstairs to send the letter. As she was going up, Rebecca was making her way down, looking bewildered. "What has been going on down here?" she asked looking at her husband.

"Harry and Lily have just replied, and have invited us for dinner next Saturday," explained Dudley. "Katie is sending them a letter now saying we are coming."

"Well this is going to be an interesting weekend," said Rebecca.

"Couldn't have said it better myself," said Dudley as he heard the screech of an owl as it flew across the morning sky.
