"Where are your parents then, Hermione?" Harry asked, confused, why he wasn’t the only one of the golden trio left on the platform. "I think they might be in the parking lot; do you need help finding your aunt and uncle before I leave?" Hermione asked with a smile. No, that’s alright.. erhm, Hermione?" he said while leaving a bit of a blank space for her to say yes. "Do you think your parents could lend me some money? I think my aunt and uncle forgot I was going to be back."I don’t need a lot, just for a bus ticket. I’ll pay them back later, of course, but I don’t have any muggle money on me right now."Hermione looked worried until Harry came up with a lie, telling her that his aunt and uncle had an urgent thing and told him that he needed to get there on his own. Yeah, Harry, I’ll ask my parents" . Hermione did, Harry got his money, but not without promising for the hundredth time that he'd pay it back as soon as he could, and they left each other. Now the bus ride was long, and no bus stopped as close to private Drive 4 as Harry would’ve wanted. He had to therefore walk a bit, and to his dismay, it had started to rain. While walking, his confident steps turned more and more into light thuds on the ground. His emotions shifted, and he became more nervous by the minute. Harry really didn’t want to be back. "Uncle Vernon is going to kill me for this." Harry knocked on the door.
