Chapter 3: Vacation

Harry awoke the next morning to the sound of Hedwig's hoots. It had taken him a little while to get over the stiffness in all his joints from being cramped up all night. I swear that space got smaller. He thought as he pulled Hedwig out into the hall, Where should I let her out at? How will she come back in? The many worries running through his head eventually helped him come to his decision. Harry put Hedwig back in the cupboard and settled on letting her out of her cage in there, but as he was doing this it dawned on him that he didn't even know the name of the baby that was sleeping right above him. He hadn't even seen her properly yet, but what was he supposed to do about it? It wasn't as if he could just barge into her room…could he?

Why not? I live here don't I? Harry questioned himself. Then I should be allowed too go into the rooms. And with that thought he crept up the stairs turned down the hall and gently pushed open the door the whole time being extremely careful not to wake Vernon ,seeing as the mood he was in last night may not have cleared yet.

He still couldn't believe they had turned his room into a nursery so it took him awhile to get to the crib, however, he stopped his wandering once he realized the baby was awake and looking up at him. Her name is Elizabeth. He told himself as he looked at the sign above her crib. Harry scooted closer aiming to pick her up out of the crib, but instead ended up stubbing his toe. Harry hopped up and down on one foot while holding the hurt one in his hands and the whole time trying not to make to much noise. Elizabeth was still looking but now she was also giggling, and bouncing around in her crib.

"Think its funny do you?" Harry asked as he released his foot and walked back over to the crib. She had quieted down but was still beaming up at him.

"You know your pretty cute, to bad you have to be a Dursley."

Harry stayed for a little while longer, until he heard Uncle Vernon getting up, then slipped out and headed back to his cupboard. Harry didn't have to wait long before he heard the loud knocks on his door. They wanted Harry to start fixing their meals for them which he agreed to do, only after a small fight of course.

"Why cant you make your own food!" Harry had protested.

"Why you ungrateful little brat!" Vernon had begun. "We take you in here after your good for nothing parents went off and got themselves killed and you cant even do this simple little task to repay us!"

"My Parents were not good for nothing" Harry yelled his temper rising. "and they didn't asked to be killed, they were murdered by a powerful and evil wizard!"

"DON'T EVER MENTION YOUR FREAKISHNESS IN MY HOUSE AGAIN!" Vernon bellowed landing a sharp smack on Harry's cheek, that quickly closed the discussion.

The next few days passed rather uneventfully , Harry continued his morning visits to see Elizabeth. Sometimes she was awake, other times she wouldn't be, but every time she was awake he made sure to make her laugh. He also made sure not to be caught in her room, who knew how Vernon would react?

Harry just had to wait about a week before something finally spiked his interest. Harry watched as Vernon pulled Dudley over into the hall. What could they be talking about? Harry questioned as he walked over and found a hiding spot where he could hear what they were saying.

"Now Dudley" Vernon started "me and your mother have come to the decission that we need a little time away having the baby already exhausted us and on top of that the boy had to come back." the last part sounded as if Vernon wanted nothing more than to wipe "the boy" off the face of the earth. Which he probably does. Harry thought gloomily, but he was quickly pulled back to his spying by the sharp whine Dudley let out. Harry turned and hurried to find a place where he could see them.

"Time away! You can't just up and leave me here while you go on vacation!"

Harry didn't miss the smile in Dudley's eyes that severely contradicted his words and knew that Dudley was actually very happy to have this time without them.

"Now Dudley, I can understand why you wouldn't want to be left with the baby and the boy but we really need this time alone and it is only for one week."

Dudley had started his whine again but Harry didn't notice. One week, one whole week without Vernon and Petunia, but what about Dudley, surely he wouldn't waste all his time without his parents on tormenting him. This could either turn out really good or really bad. Harry stayed in his spot for awhile just pondering what he would do when this week finally came.

Yeah I know that sending Vernon and Petunia away seems strange but believe me when I say it is important for later.

Once again reviews will be greatly appreciated.
