I should have known that Aunt Marge coming to visit right before Hogwarts was a sign of how the year was going to go.

With Ripper immediately lunging at Midnight in a barking fit and her just looking at me unfazed as I was standing by the couch.

"Oh you're still here" looking me up and down in a scrutinizing way that for some reason made me feel disgust before my attention turned to Harry and Uncle Vernon.

 "Uncle Vernon, I need you to sign these forms" I was surprised when Harry offered to ask for me too for the permission forms even though he's been mad at me since the end of last year. I didn't know why until he finally blurted it out a couple of weeks ago. 

"What happened with you and Draco Malfoy?" he asked me literally out of nowhere and it took me even more by surprise since me and Draco were so careful. I just looked at him confused and he repeated the question. But when I gave no answer, he went further he told me about him and Ron using Polyjuice potion to become Crabbe and Goyle. He told me before him and Ron ran into Percy Weasley they saw me and Draco walking down one of the hallways holding hands and sharing a kiss at the end of it. Well after Harry told me that I was mortified that he saw that but what did he want me to tell him? That me and Draco fancy each other. That after the Flint incident we got closer. That me and him have been sending letters back and forth all summer. 

So I merely replied back "Do you really want to know Harry?" Because I wasn't going to lie to him. But he hasn't really talked to me since then, that's why I was surprised he offered to ask Uncle Vernon about his school form with mine but I think he was only asked out to be polite which made it hurtful in a way.

"What is it?" Uncle Vernon said with annoyed little interest. But I knew that Harry's efforts were going to be in vain.

"Nothing. School stuff." But I honestly didn't mind if the papers didn't get signed if we couldn't go to Hogsmeade that means we would have time to spend together at Hogwarts.

"Later, perhaps, if you behave" He'll probably forget or with me and Harry something always happens.

I will if she does." I gave Harry a pointed look that he ignored.

" Oh, you're still here, are you?" Me and Harry shared a look which was me silently telling him to remain calm. He's been more irritable lately.

"Yes." I took a long breath in this was going to be a long night I can just tell.

"Don't say 'yes' in that ungrateful way." She hands the leash to Petunia as Ripper lunges at Midnight for a hundredth time. "Damn good of my brother to keep you" keep is about all he did "  He'd have been straight to an orphanage if he'd been dumped on my doorstep, Vernon."

"Is that my Dudders? Is that my little neffy-pooh?" I started to hold back a laugh as Marge started to be all over Dudley and him not even acknowledging her as his eyes were glued to the television.

I suppose Aunt Petunia saw the corners of my mouth peaking up and jerked her head with a sneer towards the kitchen which meant for me to get started on dinner.

"Okay.Finish that off for Mommy.Good boy, Rippy-pooh" me and Harry were both trying to hold back our giggles and the rolling of our eyes as we served Aunt Marge and the Dudleys dinner.

 "Can I tempt you, Marge?- Just a small one.Excellent nosh, Petunia.A bit more.Usually just a fry-up for me,what with 12 dogs.Just a bit more. That's a boy.You wanna trya little drop of brandy?A little drop of brandy-brandy windy-wandy for Rippy-pippy-pooh?" That was the sounds of dinner as me and Harry were handling the dishes when Harry started to stare at the display of Aunt Marge's weird relationship with her dog. I started to nudge him to look away but it was too late.
