Chapter 1: The Escape
Harry was sitting in his room at the Dursley's waiting for midnight to come around. It was his birthday and he was turning 16. "5…4…3…2…1…Happy birthday." Harry said quietly to himself. At that point 4 owls came up to the window. One letter was from Ron, Hermione, Mrs. Weasley, and the other unknown.
Harry,
How has your holiday been so far? Mine has been going great so far. We took a trip to magical Ireland. It was amazing. My owl scores were great I got 4 E's and 5 A's. How were your scores? I hope you enjoy your presents. I'm going to Ron's soon and I hope to see you there.
Hermione
Harry,
Hey mate. How've you been? My summer's been going great. I hope you enjoy your present. Hermione is coming over soon and hopefully you can too. Dumbledore hasn't said anything so I don't know.
Ron
As he read the letters he noticed the presents the owls were carrying. Harry took them off the owls and they flew away. One package was from Mrs. Weasley filled with her usual treats and sweater. The package from Hermione contained a book on defense against the dark art. Ron had sent him a Chudley Cannons book and a scarf with a note saying that it was from Ginny.
The fourth letter was from Gringotts. It told him the date and time of the reading of Sirius' will. The letter announced that the reading was going to happen in two weeks time. The fifth letter was from Dumbledore telling him that there would be Order members coming to pick him up on Wednesday at 3 o'clock which was two days away. "Good I have time to pack and come up with a plan to confront Dumbledore about training or come up with a plan to run away," Harry said to himself as he started planning.
Two days later, Harry was getting ready, packing his trunk and putting Hedwig in her cage when the doorbell rang signifying that the Order members were here. He started to drag his trunk down the stairs when Remus came up the stairs to help him. "Where are the Dursley's," Remus asked. "They left 2 hours ago," Harry said not carrying while continuing to drag his trunk down the stairs. "Ok."
When they reached the bottom of the stairs, Moody clunked over, "Good you're here, we need to leave soon," Moody said with impatience. Remus quickly shrunk Harry's trunk and they all walked out to the backyard so as to not be seen by the muggle neighbors as they took off.
They arrived about an hour and a half later in the Weasley's front yard. Mrs. Weasley came running out, "Great you're here I was getting worried, you were taking so long." "Sorry we had some problems leaving from the Dursleys," Remus explained. "That's ok now that you are here."
Moody and Tonks preceded to apparate out and then Harry, Remus, and Mrs. Weasley walked inside. "Ron is up in his room, just take your stuff up there," Mrs. Weasley told Harry. "Ok Mrs. Weasley." Harry headed up to Ron's room but on the way up passed Ginny's room where her and Hermione were talking. "Hi Ginny, hi Hermione, how are you both." "Good, how was your vacation so far," Ginny asked. "It was ok the Dursleys pretty much left me alone. How has your vacation been Ginny." "It's been pretty quite minus some weird noises coming from the Fred and George's room. "Well it was nice to see you, I'm on my way up to Ron's room so I'll talk to you guys later."
