The next day at around noon Harry was making lunch for himself. It felt odd, he thought, to not be making lunch for the Dursley's too. For ever since he had come back, the Dursley's had not even acnowledged his presence, not even to tell him to do chores. This came as a real shock to Harry, although he had suspicions as to why they were acting like this: they were afraid of what he would do when he became of age. But he knew something they didn't. He was going to be long gone by then. Most likely off to Godrick's Hollow, to see his parents grave.
After finishing his meal, he walked into the sitting room, where none of the three heads turned to acknowledge his presence.
"Errrrrrr... Uncle Vernon, you know I'm leaving tomorow right?" he questioned
nervously. All he got in return was a grunt.
"I'm going to be Aparrating." he stammered, wondering how he would react. This actualy got a quizzical look.
"It's a form of magical trans-" he almost whispered, and at the sound of the word 'magic' a squeal eminated from Dudley. Harry held in a giggle as he was reminded of the time Hargrid, the game-keeper at Hogwarts, had gave Dudley a pig tail.
"I DON'T NEED TO KNOW THE DETAILS! YOU'VE TOLD ME ALL I NEET TO KNOW, NOW GET THE BLOODY HELL OUT!" Uncle Vernon bellowed at Harry.
"A-Alright then" Harry stuttered as he scrambled from the room. He ran to his room, laughing silently. He collapsed onto his bed, his whole body shaking with laughter now. As soon as he managed to stop laughing, he walked to the window. Sitting in the chair he routinely left there, he stared out the window. He sat there and just thought for the better part of an hour. Time seemed to be passing really slowly, in his anticipation for the next day.
After about another 15 miniutes he got up. He paced over to the desk and started ruffling through the pages of one of his earlier Defence Against the Dark Arts class books. He mind wasn't on the text though, it was off at the Burrow, where Ron would be having a game of Wizards Chess with Fred or George, and Hermione would probably be gossiping with Ginny. Great, he thought, now I'm thinking about Ginny again. But he was saved from thinking by atapping on the window.
He glanced over and saw Hedwig tapping her beak on the glass. He crossed to the window and let Hedwig soar in onto the bed. Harry followed her to where she had stuck out her leg, to which was attached 3 letters. "I was starting to wonder what you had been up too" he said to Hedwig, grinning. Glancing at the letters, he could see the untidy scrawl of Hagrid, and the tidy writing of Hermione on the same peice of parchment as Ron's. 'That's new', thought Harry and put the other 2 letter's aside, not bothering to glance at the third one.
Unfolding the letter, Harry started to read:
Dear Harry,
We know you are wondering why we are writing to you together. Well, this might come to some of a shock to you, but we realized that the reason's we always fought was because we had feelings for each other. I know it sounds cheesy, but... it's true. We are officially together now! Just thought we'd let you know, and tell you we can't wait for you to get here!
Lots of Love
Hermione & Ron
P.S. I probably shouldn’t have said that or Ron might get jealous!
Harry tucked the letter away, chuckling. He had always known that his two best friends had a thing for each other. He was really happy that they had finally got together. He would congratulate them in person when they came to pick him up. Now on to Hagrid’s letter.
He unfolded his second letter and started to read again:
Dear Harry,
Hello! Jus’ wanted to let ya know, I am going ter atten’ Bill’s weddin’… Hope ter see you there!
Hagrid
P.S. I’m goin ter be one of the lucky un’s comin’ ter pic you up!
Again, Harry chuckled as he put the letter away. He should have known Hagrid would want to come pick him up. He just hoped there weren’t too many Apparating into his house at one time! That might throw the Dursley’s into a fit! It was then that he remembered the third letter. Wondering who it could possibly be from, Harry bent down to pick it up.
When he saw whom it was from, his hands started shaking. “No…” he said in an almost inaudible whisper. “No…”
