Harry Potter sat in his room at the Dursleys', feeling bored and lonely. He missed Hogwarts and his friends.
An owl arrived with a letter from Hermione. She wrote about a new potion she was studying and it sparked Harry's curiosity.
Harry decided to try making the potion himself. He sneaked into the cupboard and found some ingredients he remembered from class.
He mixed the potion carefully, dropping in a spider leg, some bat wings, and whispering a magic word.
Suddenly, the potion bubbled and fizzed. Harry stepped back, not sure if he had done the right thing.
From the potion's mist, a small creature appeared. It had large eyes and a cheeky smile, and it giggled.
The creature started bouncing around, making a mess. Harry tried to catch it, but it was too quick.
Harry remembered a spell from school and raised his wand. "Accio!" he shouted, attempting to summon the creature.
It worked! The creature flew into Harry's hand. It looked up at Harry with a sorry face.
Harry realized the creature was just lonely and wanted to play. He felt guilty for being upset with it.
He decided to spend the day with the creature. They played games and laughed together.
As night fell, the creature waved goodbye and vanished. Harry felt happy, knowing he had made a new friend.
