"It's going to be a long year boy!" Uncle Vernon cackles as the lock on my door clicks soon as I can no longer hear his laughter I curl up on my bed and allow the tears to flow freely down my pale cheeks that are beginning to loose the extra meat they has built up during my time at hogwarts, I wonder how long It will be until I get a proper meal will be.
Looking at the scars on my hands I see the fresher ones turning into pink lines that blend into my skin enough to be unoticed unless you knew they where there like I did. Those scars will forever be my reminder that I will never be back at hogwarts because If I can't go this year then no way will they let me go back next year or the year after that.
I jump a little when Hedwig flies into my room and lands on my bed with two letters attached to her leg. I smile at my only reminder of happniess then I unclasp the the first letter to find Professor Mcgonagall's neat scrawl written on the front.
Dear Mr Potter
Due to your unreturning to Hogwarts this year your books and broom will be transported back to the school as you live with Muggles.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Minerva McGonogall.
(p.s.) After reading this letter it is forbidden to send owls.
I almost cry when the letter shrivels up in my hands then the book on my bedside table vanishes along with my broom that was leaning up against the wall in the corner of the room was gone in the blink of an eye.
Then when I take the second letter from hedwig she nips my hand then flies to her cage grabs the handle then she flies out the window with a sad hoot. Thats when the catflap opens and a small pot of beans is placed through the cat flap with a small spoon. I tuck the letter under my pillow then I slowly scoop up the beans finding that half of the heat from them Is gone but I'm so hungry that I eat it all in two minutes then I push the pot back through into the hallway then I go back to bed and curl up under the small blanket falling alseep as soon as I close my eyes.
In sleep the letter falls under the bed.
