This is the second chapter of Harry's first year. Enjoy.
Harry is out in the front yard washing off his aunt's car due to his aunt having to work. Apparently, the boy Vernon and Dudley beat up two years ago was his boss's son. So, Vernon had to stay home (House arrest) while his aunt went back to work. She got a job at a local boutique that Harry Knew the owner of. His aunt wasn't happy she had to go back to work but it was a nice bonus to harry that he was able to get her a job In the Gray Lady Boutique and he still thanks what ever god is up there that Mrs. Malfoy Let her have the job, but all this happened at least two years ago so now everything has settled down.
The morning is tiring but with Dudley being nice enough to help him. He got chores finished faster and because of that he was able to help Dudley with his homework. Which actually made him a bit nicer and if I help Dudley he helped Dudley's friends which results in less bruises.
It's noon and the sun is high with no cloud in sight when Dudley screams out in a panic and runs inside. Harry confused looks up to see an Owl settling into a tree. When the bird notices him it flies down to him and lifts it leg.
"Is that letter for me?" he asks getting nothing but a hoot back. The owl leaves right when his aunt steps out on to the porch.
"Is that your letter." She says not really asking. She nodes her head and tell him to come inside. "List off what you need. You can use some of Lily's old books that way I won't have to pay any more than I need to.
Harry had been reading his mother's old school books and knew each book by heart. He opens the letter and starts listing off the thing he would need but was cut by his aunt.
"A lot of books are missing from the list." She takes the letter from him and walks into the kitchen. Harry follows her. He sees she is reading off the letter and writing things down. "Go upstairs and get your mothers letter I need to see something." He runs up stairs and comes down clenching the letter.
"I thoughts so" she mutters to herself. As she hands Harry his letter back along with the rest of the papers. "Someone has tampered with you letter or something." She shushes he when he goes to speak. "I thought maybe somethings had change but I know for fact some tampered with you letter." She sits at the table as Vernon mumbles and pours her some tea and continues making a health weight loss lunch. "Thank you dear." She smiles taking a sip. She looks back a Harry with a serious look.
"I know for fact when a child is raised in a nonmagical environment someone from the school is supposed to deliver the letter and explain things about the school. They are also supposed to take shopping for your school supplies." She takes another sip. "Many pureblood etiquette books and Political books are missing from your list as well." Vernon turns around.
"Maybe this is a sign that the freak shouldn't go to the school for freaks than." A snarl escaping from him. Petunia Turns to him a glare on her face. "Be quite Vernon. I didn't ask for your opinion." The threat clear in her voice.
It seems she's still sore about going from house wife to working woman or maybe she's just sick of his whining.
"Harry combine the list and we will buy everything plus more if needed." She stands up and goes to check her planner. "we should go shopping on Friday for normal muggle supplies for both you and Dudley and Saturday just for your magical supplies." She looks at Vernon. "Honey you are gonna have to measure and send in Dudley's measurements." He goes to cut her off. "I'll have to work extra shifts just to get that day of, but it will be fine." He goes silent it would seem that even he can feel guilt.
"Yes, dear and what do you want for dinner tonight." He says with a smile as he places a plate in front of her as she sits back down. She smiles back lovingly.
"Oh honey I'll do dinner, Dudley gonna where you out enough as it is." She giggles to herself remembering last year.
Harry laughs quietly in his hand as he goes to finish what his aunt has asked of him.
