Harry awoke one night with a terrible start. He searched around for his glasses, when finally locating them, he puts them on. Looks around the room, and realizes he's not at home. But at a place he has never thought of as home, #4 Privet Drive.

He immediately starts rubbing his scar out of habit because any unusual things that happen is evolved around it. He begins to recall the dream he had. The same dream that has plagued his mind since Lord Voldemort, the most powerful dark wizard ever, came back into power less than a month ago.

Harry's dream always starts out the same. He is facing Voldemort in a wizard's duel and just as he is about to defeat Voldemort his mother and father come out of Voldemort's wand. So, Harry stop's in his tracks, not wanting to harm his parent's, and that's when Voldemort makes his move. But, before Harry knows what has happened he wakes up, never knowing if in the end he wins the duel.

As he was thinking about this a large owl fly's into the room startling Harry.

"Oh, Hedwig, its just you," says Harry as Hedwig lands next to him on the bed. " Have you gotten an answer back from Ron yet?"

Hedwig lifts up her leg and Harry removes the piece of parchment from her leg. And he begins to read the letter.

Dear Harry,
How are you? I'm sorry, but in answer to your last letter, you can't come stay with us, yet. Professor Dumbledoor says it will be awhile before you can. Are they treating you all right out there? Because if they aren't we'll come get you. Write back soon!
--Ron

The Dursley's were treating him alright, heck he never had it so good. Ever since Fred and George had given Dudley the Tongue Ton Toffee Dudley won't eat anywhere Harry does. Harry is left alone a lot and that's how he likes it. He longs so much to be with his friends Ron and Hermione, to be at Hogwarts again, but he still has two long months with the Dursley's to go.

THE END
