Second day back, everyone had just finished lunch when the phone rang again. Petunia answered this time.

"This is the Dursley residence." She said.

As she turned to face Harry, he and Emma could tell she was really irritated.

"It's someone, for you." She said.

Harry got up took the receiver from her. "Hello?"

"Harry, it's me." Came Hermione's voice.

"Hermione?" Said Harry happily.

"How are you? Have you been ok, have your relatives…"

"Fine Hermione, everything's fine. My relatives have changed a few times each but they can't do anything to us."

Said relatives glared at Harry as he said that.

"That's something at least. Harry, when I heard about the Knight Bus, it can go anywhere right?"

"According to Luna. Why? You want to meet up?"

"That would be nice to, but my parents want to meet 'the two boys they've heard so much about' so they're inviting you both round for tea. Would you be able to come on Sunday?"

"Yeah, I'd love to." Said Harry.

"Can you also pass the invitation on to Ron, he doesn't have my phone number and I haven't got and owl to…"

"Yeah no problem, he and Ginny phoned us yesterday."

"Thanks Harry."

Hermione gave Harry her living details before they both said goodbye.

While Harry was penning a letter to Ron, Emma got a phone call from Colin. In this instance Dudley was the one who answered the phone. Emma was so mortified by what he said, that when he turned into a pig she gave him several hard kicks before he trotted off whining.

"Colin, its Emma I'm so sorry about that…"

"That's ok Emma." Came Colin's traditional cheery voice. "I just spoke to Mum and she thinks that it that Sunday would be best."

"That's great, Harry and Ron have been invited to Hermione's then." Said Emma "I'll let Ginny and Luna know the time. Thanks for inviting us."

"It's ok." Said Colin, then he sound serious "Demelza called."

Emma didn't like the tone of voice. "What happened?"

"They haven't hit her again but they had a really nasty argument when her brother took her home. She called me. Apparently she's staying at her brother's flat in Exeter."

That didn't sound good. "What sort of things did they say?"

"Well, apparently Mr Robbins, her Dad, wrote to Professor McGonagall. She didn't say what the letter was about, but apparently McGonagall wrote a letter to Demelza in response. I don't know what else happened but she is really angry, and I don't mean angry like you were angry at Lockhart after he deboned Harry, I mean she is really deeply hurt."
