To The Past - Harry Potter Love Story (ON HOLD)

Chapter Three

The letters from no one 

"If this is when he finally gets his letters I guess I'll read" James offered and walked to regulus to get the book.

"Don't hurt you head to much" opal teased James scoffed and rolled his eyes while Lyra and Harry were silently laughing "shut up stripey" he used her marauder name.

Harry was glad school was over, but there was no escaping Dudley's gang, who visited every single day, Piers, Dennis, Malcolm and Gordon were all big and stupid but as Dudley was the biggest and the stupidest of the lot, he was the leader. The rest of them were all quite happy to join Dudley in his favourite sport; Harry Hunting.

You could hear growling coming from Sirius and Remus.

One morning in July They heard a click of the mail slot and the flop of letters on the doormat.

"get the mail Dudley" said uncle Vernon from behind his paper

"make harry get it"

"get the mail Harry"

When harry didn't reply "poke him with you smelting's stick Dudley" Vernon ordered

Luckily Harry dodged the smelting's stick and went to get the mail. Three things lay on the door mat: a postcard from uncle Vernon's sister marge, who was on vacation a brown envelope that looked like a bill and – a letter for Harry

There was a chorus of "Yes!" around the room. He was finally going to leave those awful muggles Harry just looked amused so did Lyra.

He wondered who could have sent him the letter he knew there couldn't be a mistake because it said plainly

Mr. H. Potter

The cupboard under the stairs

No 4 Privet Drive

"SO YOUR TELLING ME YOU KNEW OUR SON WAS SLEEPING IN A CUBOARD AND OU DID NOTHING ABOUT IT" Lily shouted at McGonagall "The quills are self writing we need to check them more Albus" McGonagall said to which Albus nodded in agreement. 

"Hurry up boy!" shouted uncle Vernon from the kitchen "what are you doing checking for letter bombs?" he chuckled at his own joke

Harry went back to the kitchen, still staring at his letter he handed uncle Vernon the bill and postcard while harry was on the verge of opening his when Dudley snatched it from his grasp "dad, dad Harry's got a letter!" Dudley shouted

"Hey that's mine!" harry protested trying to get it back but it was too late Vernon already had it in his hands "who'd be writing to you" Vernon sneered harry wore that his face turned from red to green faster than a traffic light

"what's a traffic light?" Arthur asked Lily who explained

He gasped getting petunia's attention she rushed in and saw the first line and she looked as if she was about to faint instead she grabbed her throat and made a choking noise.

"Get out both of you" Vernon croaked stuffing the letter inside the envelope "I want to read the letter" Dudley demanded

Harry didn't move

"I WANT MY LETTER" He shouted

"GET OUT" Vernon roared he grabbed both of them by the scruffs of their necks and threw them out in the door way and slammed the kitchen door Dudley and harry had a silent fight about who would listen through the key Dudley won so harry lay flat on his stomach listening through the crack of the door.

"how could they possibly know where he sleeps" petunia muttered worriedly.

"they cant possibly think that's all that matters and that they are that important?" Sirius asked

"they must being spying on us watching us" Vernon answered

"yes" Opal and Lyra answered him in unison creeping them all out "yes they do"

"we won't answer that's what we'll do"

"that's not how it works" Narcissa stated

"if anything they'll send more letter" James Said to Harry who nodded.

Later that day Vernon had told harry to move all of his stuff to Dudley's other room that stored all of his broken toys. Over the next few days more letters came and one time Harry tried to sneak downstairs to get the letter before anyone else but Vernon was asleep at the bottom of the door.

On Sunday at least a hundred or so letter came through the chimney

"Pick one off the floor you idiot boy" Severus said looking at Harry who glared at him along with Lyra.

"do not call Harry an idiot" Lily sneered at her ex best friend

Finally he was able to catch one but Vernon had seized him by the waist before he could run away "THAT'S IT WERE MOVING FAR AWAY SOMEWHERE THEY CANT FIND US" Vernon bellowed

They drove and they drove and they drove until they came to a gloomy looking motel Dudley and harry had to chare a room with two twin beds while Dudley was snoring harry was wide awake the next morning after eating stale cornflakes and tinned tomatoes on toast they went to leave butt he office lady stopped them "excuse me which on of yer is Mr. H.potter I've got 'bout a 'undred of these" she said holding up a letter addressed to harry.

Before Harry could grab it though Vernon got it and as soon as they were outside he ripped them up and threw them away

Everyone Groaned thinking the same thing 'when is harry gonna finally get to open his letter' while Harry was smiling amused at them.

Once they finally got to where Vernon wanted them he got out of the car and locked the others inside as harry was listening to Dudley complaining to his mother he was reminded that if it was Monday then his birthday was tomorrow on Tuesday Vernon came back to the car smiling and told everyone to get out he pointed to a rock in the middle of nowhere you could see there was a old looking shack there looking like it was going to collapse any minute.

"reminds me of Azkaban" Sirius shuddered he never wanted to go there.

They all got on a boast and sailed towards the rock once they got there they were given a back of chips to eat night time and Vernon and petunia was upstairs in the only bedroom sleeping while Dudley was sleeping on the moth eaten coach and harry was on the floor with a thin blanket on him to keep him warm.

Dudley's hand was hanging off of the sofa and harry could see his watch as his birthday came nearer he watched as it hit twelve on the dot and closed his eyes and made a wish

"Happy Birthday Harry" James Smiled looking at his son.

Suddenly there was a loud BOOM outside Harry bolted up right someone was outside the shack knocking to come in.
