The car ride back to Privet Drive seemed endless as Uncle Vernon’s newest company car wove its way along the carriage way toward Little Whinging. Sighing desolately, Harry led the way out onto the street. The two exchanged one last, melancholy little wave and then Ron walked back through the barrier. Halfway there he turned to see whether Dudley was actually pushing the trolley and saw Ron still standing where they’d left him. He turned, jerked his head first at Dudley, then at the trolley and walked passed Uncle Vernon towards the entrance. Ron turned back to Harry and extended his hand. Dudley was oddly quiet as the conflict played out before him. Vernon looked as though he’d like nothing better than to bum rush Ron but seemed to think the better of it. It’d be such a pity if there was a… misunderstanding.”Īunt Petunia’s mouth opened and closed repeatedly, but no sound came out. “Harry has a lot of friends from school, and we’re going to be keeping a close watch to make sure he’s okay this summer, just like we did last year. “I’d be a bit more polite, if I were you,” he said in a flat, emotionless tone. Ron bumped up against Uncle Vernon, towering over him, and discreetly pulled his wand from his pocket, pointing it menacingly at the big man’s stomach. That boy has been a burden to us since the moment he arrived, and he’s bloody well going to earn his ke…” “I’m not having you weirdoes telling me what I can and cannot do in my own house. Uncle Vernon’s piggy eyes narrowed and his complexion grew horribly mottled as Ron spoke. He’s been through the wringer, and he’s going to spend the summer resting.” He nearly died trying to protect people when our school got attacked this year. “I think,” he said slowly, “that you want to show Harry a little respect. ![]() Ron’s ears turned red as he straightened up and stepped close to the Dursleys. “Well, oughtn’t you be going? We’re leaving.” “We’ll discuss this in the car.” Her sharp eyes descended on Ron. Ron looked uncomfortable as Harry answered quietly, “I’ve had surgery on my shoulder.”Īunt Petunia took the opportunity to speak up. I won’t have you mouthing off to me every ten seconds.” When Harry didn’t answer right away he demanded, “What’s that sling for? Some sort of prank to get me to let you off doing chores?” His uncle blustered, “Now don’t get cheeky with me, boy. “Well, it’s about time,” Uncle Vernon groused. Ron pushed the trolley in their direction and soon stood in front of Uncle Vernon. Harry’s relatives stood a little way down the platform towards the entrance to the station. “Over there,” Harry said, inclining his head to the left. “Good for her,” Ron said, scanning the people nearby. Harry grinned at his friend, then shaking his head he said, “Like sister, like brother. “Promise me you’ll let us know when you’re settled?” ![]() “I’m still amazed at the things that can beat me right now.” “Thanks, Ron,” he said gratefully as they emerged from the barrier onto the platform at King’s Cross and began looking for the Dursleys. So much for staying pain-free for the day, he grumbled to himself as he followed Ron. Throwing his weight at the handle had caused him to bang his newly-healed left arm and ribs painfully against it. Just pushing the awkward thing a few meters had sapped his strength a lot more than he’d bargained for. Harry heaved a sigh of relief as Ron took the trolley holding Hedwig’s empty cage and his trunk from him and led the way through the barrier.
