It was early in the morning.
The grey sky stretched upon the Privet Drive. Uneasy,Harry was tossing here and there on his bed,with a severe headache and a red nose
Tissue paper crumbled and covered his bedroom floor,which he sneaked from Petunia right under her nose
He just wanted to go back to Hogwarts,he missed everything, Hagrid and his cooking and most importantly his two best friends Ron and Hermione.

His thoughts were interrupted by
a knock at his window,a beautiful snowy owl was sitting on the window sill with a letter tied to her
It was a letter which made his heart fill up with warmth.It was from Ron Weasley his best friend. He picked up Ron's letter and unfolded it.

Dear Harry
I hope the Muggles didn't give you a hard time
We will be going to London to get my books.Lets hope we'll meet you there.Write me a letter if you need anything and I hope these people better behave good with you or else they'll have it from us
I better get a reply soon to this
Meet you soon
Ron.
Ps:
Harry -This is a box of cakes and minced pies mom made at home,these will be always enough to keep you away from starvation
until mom herself feeds you to death.
Bye-Ron

As far as behaving goes the Dursleys didn't even bother to see how Harry was.His birthday hadn't been any great either,he got a pair of loose trousers he won't fit even after he gained a ton. He wanted to fast forward to the first day of Hogwarts.
"HARRY COME HERE RIGHT NOW AND HELP ME IN THE KITCHEN" yelled Petunia.
"COMING!" he yelled back.
Harry helped Petunia with the lunch along with hearing her say how careless and useless he was,he dusted off the cabinets and mowed the lawn while ickle duddykins sat with his huge belly in front of the Television.
He so wished if he could just throw him off the couch and sit there and enjoy himself.
After all the work he told Petunia he didn't want to have dinner (as if she cared) and went to bed.
He was so tired that he couldn't sleep so he wrote a letter to Ron and fell asleep

At around 3am in the morning he heard rattling outside the hall
Someone was whispering in hushed tones,he got up from his bed and opened the door
He was froze to see Ron and Hermione clutching his Trunk and Broom
He hugged them both,he was so happy!
As if all his pain,illness was gone.
"HARRY ARE YOU OKAY?YOU DONT SEEM RIGHT" said Hermione worringly,she pursed her lips in an aunt Petunia-ish way.
"Okay,well Harry we don't have time for tea and chit chat so let's go!"said Ron.
He wore his shoes and asked them to hold his stuff but instead got hit by Hermione for arguing.
His heart skipped a beat when he heard a loud snore coming off Dudley's room.
They got down the stairs,they were almost out of the door when Dudley started shouting
"HE'S RUNNING!HE'S RUNNING".Trying to wake up the whole house,Hermione pushed Ron and Harry out of the door, handed Harry's broom to Ron whilst putting a Silencio charm on Dudley and slamming the door shut on his face.
"THAT BLOODY PIG" Hermione yelled angrily
"THAT WAS BLOODY BRILLIANT HERMIONE,IM SO PROUD OF YOU" Ron said.

Finally they were on the driveway of Privet Drive. Harry summoned the Knight Bus and they reached Leaky Cauldron.
"HARRY ARE YOU OKAY?IS EVERYTHING ALRIGHT?
LOOK AT YOU,OH MERLIN THOSE MUGGLES" Mrs Weasley worriedly
She sat Harry down gave him a bitter potion and asked him to gulp it down at once!
Ginny got Harry some warm soup,he almost burned his tongue but he didn't care,he was far too happy.He smiled and thanked Ginny.
After two months of pure agony,torture and boredom he was finally amongst his loved ones

Author's note(If you consider me one):
This was short but this is my first ever Fan fic and I didn't actually know how I wrote this.
Thankyou Mae for the prompt and the cover of the story
And next time I'm sure I'll write a better one!
