Let's be honest. I've not updated for longer than this. (Also, my excuse this time is that, well, tonnes of deadlines and stuff came up... and corona.) 

To answer people's questions: Yes, there will be more to this book. After this third book there will be another four. Please be patient with me, we'll get to the end eventually :) Okay enough blabbing! Continue on, friend!

.......... Harry's Point of View ..........

   Maybe I should burn the Monster Book of Monsters. Would it scream? 

   Who cares, it tore up my ONE GOOD SOCK.

.......... Reader's Point of View ...........

   "Harry!!" I yelled when he didn't seem to see us sitting at one of the breakfast tables. We were literally right in front of him, why couldn't he see us?

   He probably needs another pair of glasses. 

   When he (finally) caught sight of us, he looked incredibly relieved; his shoulders slumped and a small smile started to grace his face.

   ... Merlin, did everyone go through puberty while we were gone or what???? 

   "Harry, you've lost your baby fat!" I greeted. Harry snorted.

   "So did Ron, why don't you shout at him?" 

   Oh, his voice is deeper too. 

   ... Very interesting. 

   "Take one for the team, Harry," Ron called over. Harry punched him on the shoulder. 

   "It's so good to see you again." Hermione smiled, petting Crookshanks' head. 

   "You too, Hermione. Hey, can I talk to you guys about something?" Harry lowered his voice, looking around to make sure no one was listening.

   "... What's wrong?" I asked.

   "Well, I blew my aunt up into a balloon."

   Ron started to laugh hysterically, but one look from Hermione reduced him to a few small snickers.

   "What the hell did she do?" he asked.

   "Doesn't matter," Harry said quickly. "Anyway, Fudge wasn't really mad about it? I was certain I would be losing my wand and stuff, even though it was a complete accident and not my fault-"

   "Sure, Harry." I teased with a smirk. 

   "-Oh, hush, (y/n)- Anyway, Fudge just let it go? Don't you think that's a bit... weird?" Harry looked towards us desperately. 

   "Well... not really," Hermione said slowly. "You are famous, he would've certainly gotten backlash if he put you in Azkaban for accidental magic. Although, accidental magic isn't very common after you start going to Hogwarts. Are you sure there's nothing bothering you, Harry?"

   "I'm fine. She was just... It was nothing." Harry shook his head. I was about to prod further, but unfortunately, we were interrupted. 

   "Harry, dear!" Mrs Weasley exclaimed, rushing over to greet him. 

   "Hello, Mrs Weasley," Harry said with an awkward smile.

   "How are you, dear?"

   "I'm good."

   "Have everything you need?"

   "Yup." 

   "Good boy," she patted him on the cheek. Then she turned to scold Ron about something or other. Not making his bed? I don't know.
