Harry meets Dudely
---------------------------------
Harry apparates to 4 Pivet Drive, its early morning , and no body seem to notice the hero of whizarding world now. Potter takes out his wand , to say "Alohomora" but stops in between. Understanding his responsibilities now, with Ginny on his side , Harry knocks the door. Mr. Dursely opens the door , and his expression on seeing Harry has not changed for over years now. "You Potter !!! , what have you come to now , heard you have a huge magical house now of your some maniac Godfather", he shouted as if to tell the neighbours. "Daddy , stop that " , came in voice of Dudley from behind who came running and crushed Potter in arms. " I am so sorry Harry , for all that I have done for over so many years ", he continued nearly in tears ,"I have been a real bad boy to you but you always saved me." Harry remembered last year he saw the tears of remorse in Dudley's eyes as they left for safe place. "you have been always under threat , always the fear of death you had , i am sorry for the times i teased and mocked you in front of my friends over you crying in pain in middle of night". A rush of blood in Harry told him he should throw away Dudley away and punish for all the pains incurred , but the changed Dudley stopped him. There seems to be a new Sun over horizon. for first time Harry hugged Dudley who was clinging to Potter's chest for so long now.
"Whose come home ,darling ", a motherly voice came from kitchen , as Aunt Petunia came to picture. "Ohh !!! He's Harry , Harry my son , i have been bad to you , but was doing so to keep you safe." Petunia was in tears , trying to calm herself down , as Mr Dursley shouted ,"What is going on in here , and who is she ". All eyes went straight to Gini Weasly. Seeing Harry blush on the direction of her girl friend, Petunia took a step forward , held the hand of young beautiful lady and offered them inside. They were seated in the same room where Potter used to serve the Dursley's , the same room where they had to rush. His memories of last time he saw the house , suddenly entire last year flashed in his eyes. He remembered Voldemort , and Bill , but this time the scar didnt hurt. only a few tears trickled down , as Petunia went to kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Harry Stood up and followed Petunia to the other corner of the room , where loads of utensils were kept , and Potter this time unable to resist , took his wand and with flick of stick , "Diffindo" and all the utensils separated , followed by "Aguamenti" , and jet of water started coming out from Potter's magic wand. Potter wanted to go and wash the dishes for like it seems he has been doing it for years now. Only glad to notice now he was not afraid of getting caught by Ministry of Magic for underage magic. He smiled to himself , as Dursley and Gini seems to be observing him. And then there was a loud thud , and an engine roaring . Mr Dursley , annoyed by sudden entry of Harry Potter , who he considers was reason for most of his misery last year , left the house till Potter leaves. "Daddy has been a bit upset with u , Harry ", continued Dudley in a deep tone ,"when we were shifted to a tent like house ,which though small was lavish. I am sorry potter , but the way they each time directed each of us with "muggle" tag as if we are not humans but animals. For that entire span of 8 months Potter , we were never directed by our names. Mom got due respect as Lily's sister , but dad wore the entire brunt. That is the reason he probably is angry , but tell me Harry how were you able to hide for so long. And was she all along with you " Dudley said pointing to Ginny , probably didnt get her name correctly for the first time.
"No , No , she was not not with me , i was with Hermoine and Ronald for most of the times. For so many pains and bad times last year we three went through still shivers me. There was a time when we were caught by Malfoys", Ginny looked at Potter in amazement , not because she does not know it , but probably because Potter was not probably not supposed to reveal it. Harry continued , " Ron and Hermoine were tortured there and it was dobby who saved me, Dobby you remember Dudley", asked Potter. Dudley with a blank expression as if listening to the name for the first time. " Dudley you remember once there was a visit by Mr Dudley's boss and there was a constant sound from my room , and all the cake i was bringing spilled all over the room. Potter in wave of excitement , forgot the jet of water still oozing from his wand gaining intensity , and as he rushed to door , the stream of water hit Aunt Petunia on face. " Ohh sorry , i just wanted to show Dudley where it was", and with a flick of wand dried clothes of Petunia. It seems like the brotherly love which Harry has just found in Dudley was going out of bounds. Even though Ron has been his best friend , still the void of brotherly love was clearly seen.
"Harry , you were telling about when you got caught , what happened next" , asked Dudley . Gini interjected in between , Its like Harry was saved by Dobby who died later saving his life. A tear trickled down Potter's face , thinking about the elf.
