Water and Magic Do Mix

Beginning of the uneventful summer

Harry's POV
It's the 5th august and time is 0100 hrs and still no sleep. I am tired of this. I don't understand what it means. The dream is repeating over and over again and shows the night in Godric's Hollow, just before the killing curse hits me there is a figure jumping in front of me then another light interrupting it. I don't know if I should ask Sirius about it or not. All of their letters have been just vague and short and I am getting  frustrated to no end.

Everyone keeps blocking me out. I'm sick of this. I just wanna get out of here. When will someone come to take me from here. God now I sound like a girl.

I keep lying on my bed hoping for sleep to consume me again. But no luck so far. I keep going back to the dream but I don't understand what it means. I mean according to others, my mom died after Voldemort enters the room then who is this figure who jumps in front of me.

Ugh!!. At this rate I'm going to go crazy. Just when I hope things could get a little better it just gets worse. First my sleeps were plagued with Cedric's death and when I thought it's over, this new nightmare takes it's place.

I want to talk to someone about it. But who? Should I wait till I meet everyone or should I write to them. ?

Looks like everyone is getting up. I was thinking for a lot of time, I didn't realise everyone was up. I went down to do the chores coz I was not in the mood to hear them criticize me again. I was in the kitchen, Aunt Petunia was there so I immediately got to work helping her in the breakfast and by helping I mean me doing everything while she sits peeps into the neighbors houses to see what they were up to. Crazy people.

I made the tea and the bacon for the breakfast and served it to Uncle Vernon and Dudley. After that I went upstairs to bathe and go out so they won't bother me.

It was bothering me to no end that no one was telling me what was happening. I wanted answers to something, but no luck so far. How could they have forgotten I faced  Voldemort. Did Dumbledore forget me that easily.?

Even the Daily Prophet brought no news now. There were heaps of them in my room but nothing about Voldemort.

I was walking to the park of the neighborhood. I didn't know how long I've been walking to get here but the sounds of voices brought me out of my musings.

I looked up and through the street lamps saw silhouette of people making their way to the park. Just my luck, I thought. It was Dudley and his faithful gang of cronies. Oh how I hate them. I wish I could lash out on them but I knew I couldn't do that.

Dudley was still as vast as he could be and if given free rein he could break world records but a year of dieting did change his physique and he recently became Junior Heavyweight Inter-boxing Champion of the Southeast.

Part of me wanted them to come upto me so I could lash out.' please look around, come on, I'm right here, c'mon please'. Dudley was now scared of me as I could ruin his reputation that he had to keep. So I wanted those boys to look at me so I could give them a payback of what they put me through.

I fought the urge to call out to them. It would end badly for me. So I was quiet and they did not turn around. ' there you go, Sirius, kept out of trouble unlike what you would've done.' I thought dully.

I started walking towards home as I didn't want any trouble with Uncle Vernon or be locked in the shed. He thought the ideal time to return home was when their Dudders returned. God I can't wait to turn 17 so I could leave forever .

Magnolia Street was same as Privet Drive. Full of large squared houses and perfectly manicured lawns. But in all honesty I preferred Little Whinging to this.

Serene, calm, peaceful. That was all I wanted. All I've ever wanted. I have never asked or wanted anything other than a loving family. I wish mom and dad were still alive. I wish I had other siblings like Ron does, fighting and arguing and then reminiscing and laughing about it.

What if they would have survived and they were with me and I still fought Voldemort. They would with me, saying calming and soothing words. Mom being there to make sure I slept peacefully.

I wish there was a way I could have them back. I wish I had some cousins and siblings to share all happy and sad moment with them. All pranks and stupid things to do.

Just another peaceful summer. But was it.
