Short Preview:

Harry awoke to the sound of snoring. He was used to this of course; at Hogwarts he shared a dormitory with his best friend Ron, and when at the Dursley’s Dudley and Uncle Vernon could be heard from the bottom of the garden.

But Harry was at no 4. Privet Drive, and the snoring was coming from much closer than down the hall. His mind was fuggy from sleep and it took Harry a while to remember that Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger had decided to come and live with him.

His days at Privet Drive had never been, and would never be, considered fun. Even taunting Dudley until he turned purple wasn’t fun, satisfying to be sure, but not fun. Yet for the first time in Harry’s memory, his time here had been bearable.

The three friends spent most of the time in Harry’s room reading, planning and talking until late into the night when Hermione would conjure two spare beds and squash them into an already cramped room.

Harry’s room had never been so full; 3 trunks, 2 bird cages, 1 cat basket, 3 beds and 3 people. Harry had never been allowed guests at the Dursley’s before, Dudley had made sure that no one would want to be Harry’s guest. But the two young wizards who had taken up residence with him were certainly not guests of the Dursley’s, oh no. They belonged solely to Harry. But Vernon had set down some very strict rules. They weren’t allowed to use the guest room, or the lounge, or the kitchen, and they weren’t to be seen by the neighbours, and once Harry had made it clear that his friends could perform magic without being expelled they were told that under no circumstances were they allowed to practice their unnaturalness in the house. However they were also told that they weren’t allowed to eat any of the Dursley’s food and had to provide for themselves. It didn’t occur to either uncle Vernon or aunt Petunia that Ron and Hermione could not do this without magic. Or perhaps it had and they were hoping that the two freaks could be starved out.

It was lucky that Hermione was perfectly capable of providing, because Ron most certainly wasn’t. When the terms had been set down by uncle Vernon, Harry had written a pleading note to Mrs. Weasley and as a result Hermione was transporting large amounts of food from the Burrow to Harry’s bedroom every meal time. Harry remembered with a jolt to his stomach, seeing Dumbledore using a similar spell to send Harry’s trunk away last year when he had been rescued from Privet Drive.

Harry sighed and rose to a sitting position, both Ron and Hermione were still asleep and it was still early but he felt he had slept enough and got dressed quietly. He snuck past the head of Hermione’s bed to his desk and continued reading a book he had set aside the night before, until his friends woke up.

That afternoon, out in the garden, Harry broached a subject none of them had talked about, “When shall we leave?” He asked.

Hermione looked up sharply from the book she was reading, “leave? But Harry if we leave before your birthday you won’t be protected.”

Harry raised an eyebrow, “I’m not going to be protected much longer any way.”

“Besides,” Ron chipped in, “he only spent 2 weeks here last year; we’ve already been here longer than that.” He looked expectantly at Hermione, he didn’t like it here and whilst it had been his idea to come in the first place, Harry thought he might be regretting it now.

“Last year Harry had protection outside of here too, but… he doesn’t any more.” She finished in a small voice, “Besides until he can do magic himself, he is vulnerable, I don’t think we should put him in a situation where he might need to use it.”

Harry sighed, he supposed she was right but the weather was wonderful and he wanted to be at the Burrow where he could fly in the paddock and see all of the Weasleys one last time before he, Ron and Hermione started off on their mission. To hunt down and Destroy the 5 maimed pieces of Lord Voldemorts soul, the locket, the cup, the snake, something of Griffindor’s or Ravenclaw’s, and finally the part that resided in the body of the most feared dark wizard himself.
