Annika Black looked up at the sky and then down at her watch. It was half past ten in the evening. "Harry should be safe at home now," she thought.
Annika started walking down Privet Drive and disapparated to London as soon as she was sure no one could see her. She fanned herself as she felt the hot air around her. "And what can I get for you, miss?" asked the clerk as Annika walked into a Starbucks. "I'll just have a Grande caramel frappachino," she answered. Annika smiled as she heard her American accent. Despite growing up and spending many years in England, Annika still had her American accent. "Thank you," said Annika as she took her coffee and walked outside. Annika took one look around London and turned in the direction of Little Whinging. "You will be safe from here on, Harry. I will see you at Hogwarts," she thought as she disapparated once more.

Harry Potter continued moping around his aunt's house. With nothing to do and nobody to see, Harry just sat around. Aunt Petunia was greatly annoyed by this, but she felt that Harry should stay as close to home as possible. Harry was touched by Aunt Petunia's care, but he felt that she was only doing this because she didn't want her precious Dudley to get hurt. "This has got to be the most boring birthday ever," Harry thought. "Ron and Hermione didn't even send me anything. And Sirius promised me something really good." Harry sighed. "That stupid blood protection. I wish I could've gone straight to Grimmauld Place instead of coming here." But deep down, Harry knew that the blood protection was what partly kept Harry alive throughout his sixteen years. Harry sighed again and looked up at the ceiling of the living room. Harry didn't even feel like doing his homework.
"Ahhh!!!!" Aunt Petunia ran in the house from her flowerbed screaming. Harry sat up alarmed. Aunt Petunia ran to the kitchen and shut the door. Harry crept to the window to look outside. Amazed at what he saw, his eyes opened wide. He saw a girl, no more than sixteen, with big bushy hair and a boy, tall, with flaming red hair. A tall, thin man with sandy hair was walking in front of them. A lady with pink hair and a pig snout walked behind them as a giant black dog ran alongside them. Harry gasped with surprise and ran to door to fling it open. "What are you doing here?" asked Harry excitedly as he watched Sirius, Lupin, Tonks, Ron, and Hermione run up to greet him. The dog ran past him to get inside the house. Everyone else closely followed.
As soon as the door was shut, the dog changed into Sirius and was enveloped in a giant hug by Harry. "Well, it's good to see you too, Harry," said Sirius with a smile on his face. Ron was looking around the living room as Hermione was telling him what each of the things was. "So.what are you guys doing here?" asked Harry. "Well, I promised you something good right?" said Sirius. "And you're gonna get something good." "I could live with you forever?" said Harry expectantly. "Er.no, you'll have to come back next year, but you could spend the rest of the summer with me!" said Sirius with a big smile. Harry's face fell. Sirius looked at Lupin with a smirk on his face. Lupin smiled and winked at him. Tonks turned around and bumped into the magazine rack. "Oops, my fault. Let me just pick that up," said Tonks as Aunt Petunia came charging out of the kitchen.
"What are you doing at my house?" she asked with newfound courage. "We're not doing anything, we're just picking up your nephew for a good birthday surprise," answered Lupin. "Well, you're not going anywhere with him," said Petunia. She grabbed Harry's arm and pulled him behind her. "Aunt Petunia, it's okay. That's my godfather and you remember Ron," said Harry. Petunia looked at Ron. A flicker of recognition flashed in her eyes. She let go of Harry. "You will take him?" asked Aunt Petunia. Lupin nodded. "Where?" "We cannot tell you. But I can assure you that he will be safe and he will return next summer." Aunt Petunia looked unconvinced. "Enough of this nonsense, Harry, where are your things?" asked Sirius. "It's upstairs, in my bedroom," answered Harry. "I can show you," said Ron. Ron started up the stairs with Sirius, Tonks, and Hermione closely following. "Don't forget Hedwig!" he yelled after them. Aunt Petunia looked from Harry to Lupin. "I promise, he'll be safe," said Lupin. Aunt Petunia looked at him suspiciously. "Okay, but my husband will be home from work soon, and he will know how to take care of you." Lupin smiled and said, "We will be long gone, I promise you."
Tonks came tripping down the stairs with Harry's trunk levitating in front of her. Sirius followed holding Hedwig's cage while Hedwig was flying overhead. Ron and Hermione came down last, making sure nothing was left. "Let's go!" said Tonks as she stood up. Aunt Petunia looked at them with fire in her eyes. Tonks strode to the front door and opened it. Hedwig flew out and Tonks followed with Harry's trunk in front of her. "Er.it was nice to see you again, I suppose," said Ron to Aunt Petunia as he walked out. Hermione smiled at Aunt Petunia as she followed Ron. Aunt Petunia raised her eyebrows as she watched them walk out. Then she turned to look at Harry, Lupin, and Sirius. "Well, bye then," said Harry to Aunt Petunia as he made his way to the door. "Very well," said Aunt Petunia as she watched Harry walk out with Sirius. "Uh, well, thank you, then," said Lupin. "You can tell your husband and son that the term started a month earlier and Harry was escorted back." Aunt Petunia gave a slight nod. She followed Lupin as he walked out of the house. Harry looked back at the house and saw Lupin walking very fast behind them. He saw Aunt Petunia at the door and gave her a wave. "See you next summer!"
Aunt Petunia watched them as they walked down the street and then ran in the house and locked the door. It was broad daylight, what if the neighbors were looking out their windows and saw those people come? Aunt Petunia looked out the window and saw that nobody was coming to her door. She breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, I must get started on lunch. Dudders will be craving for some when he gets back from the park," thought Petunia.
"Er.Sirius." started Harry. "Yeah, Harry?" answered Sirius. "Umm.how did you get here? And how are we gonna get to your house?" "We took a portkey to Arabella Figg's place and that's where we're headed."
Tonks opened the door to Mrs. Figg's house and left it open for everyone following behind. Harry walked inside and wrinkled his nose, smelling the cats once more. "Harry, how nice to see you again," said Mrs. Figg. "Uh, yeah," answered Harry. Mrs. Figg smiled and said, "The portkey's on the kitchen table." She gestured towards the kitchen. "Okay, we're leaving in (Lupin looks at a clock) 3 minutes," said Lupin. "Everyone get in position. Tonks - that trunk." "Oh, right," said Tonks. She transfigured the trunk into a small briefcase and held it. Lupin picked up the portkey (a broken figurine). "Thank you for all of your help, Arabella," said Lupin. Mrs. Figg smiled and looked at Harry. "You take care of yourself now, Harry," she said. Harry smiled and said, "Thank you." "Okay, everyone gather 'round," said Lupin. "In three.two.one." Harry felt the familiar feeling of a hook being jerked behind his navel as he was going through a whirlwind of color and sound.
