Hey guys codla here! My update was fairly quick this time dont you think? And just a warning i am not proud of this chapter whatsoever. It's boring, no humour and all the characters are just weird in here. But after rewriting it for about the 100000th time i decided just to post it and see what reaction i got...
Enjoy!
James POV
We watched the Dursleys deny Harry his letter for a couple of days. They went everywhere, up down and all around; to mangy old motels to long road trips.
Honestly, why can't they just let Harry have his letter and be done with it? They are putting way to much effort into denying harry his letter and his rights. Sheesh, stubborn muggles.
The day before Harry's birthday we found him and the Dursleys rowing across the rough sea in an extremely stormy weather. They seemed to be headed towards a little shack in the middle of nowhere. All 4 occupants in the boat were getting cold and wet. Not that I'm complaining about the Dursleys mind you…
"Oh look at him! He's soaked through and shivering! My sister better fix him up when they get there". But we both knew it was highly unlikely.
After what seemed to be hours they finally arrived at the little shack in the middle of nowhere. Though now it seemed smaller, instead of bigger like most things do when you get closer. Oh merlin's beard big whale, what the hell have you gotten yourself into? I felt like slapping myself on the head many times at his stupidity.
The shack was filled with holes and leaks and all other home owners' worst nightmare. They all arrived inside and immediately Mr Whale and Mrs Horse start to fuss over mine whale, ignoring the other shivering human being in that "house".
"Oh yeah go ahead Petunia! Just ignore him, that's cool!" Lily shouted, losing her temper. I rubbed her back consolingly, hoping to calm her down and it seemed to have worked. She leant her head on my shoulder and I wrapped my arms around her, getting comfortable. It was going to be a long day and we weren't going to leave our sons side for a moment.
"Could do with some of those letters now, eh?" Vernon said cheerfully. He seemed to be in an excellent mood. Obviously he thought that nobody had a chance of delivering them post in the middle of nowhere. He's probably right…
A couple of hours later they decided it was time of bed. Of course the parents get the big comfy double bed that if they were really generous they could have given to Dudley and Harry. Dudley got the sofa with a ton of blankets on the top of him. And what does Harry get? Oh of course! The floor with basically nothing shielding him from the elements.
I felt a growl emit from the lovely lady beside me, her whole body vibrating from it.
"Shhh Lily" I soothingly comforted her. Hmmm… let's tell her a joke!
"Hey my precious Lily Flower, want to hear a joke?"
"Jamie, not particularly"
"HEY I SAID DON'T CALL ME THAT!"
"And I told you not to call my Lily Flower!" Well played my friend, well played.
"Hmph. Anyway onto the joke: What did the farmer say to the other farmer?"
"I told you I didn't want to hear one! But fine then: I don't know James! What DID the farmer say to the other farmer?"
"We're both farmers!" By now I was rolling around on the ground in hysterics. Lily however was looking at me like I was a mutated alien.
"Right…" she said while slowly moving away from me.
Finally controlling my emotions I recovered, sitting up slowly and grinning at Lily. She rolled her eyes and put her attention back on Harry. Ah there's the Lily we all know and love!
I too turned my attention back on Harry. It seemed that the storm had picked up while he was sleeping. Or was he sleeping? I leaned in a bit further and realised his eyes were wide open. I wonder if he can see us. Or is he thinking of us… or what?
We sat there for hours, just watching him. I looked down at my watch and saw it was a minute till 31st of July. My little boys birthday.
I edged over to Lily and nudged her.
"Hey theres about 30 seconds left till his birthday. Want to start the countdown?" She nodded and we started.
"10

We all quickly looked down to see what was happening. Lily so fast she almost fell down, though thanks to my fast Quidditch reflexes I managed to catch her. Harry was sitting upright, staring at the shacks door. There was someone knocking to come in.
Muahahaha cliffie! (not really cause you all know what's going to happen but shh)
