Harry Potter, the boy who lived, was laying in bed listening to his cousin, Dudley complain about how mean the teachers and school nurse were at Smeltings to his parents, Harry's aunt and uncle. Harry shook his head in annoyance, 'I wish they had beaten him.' Harry thought angrily listening to how the teachers had beaten the other students. Hearing a screech from outside, he got up to see if it was Hedwig with a reply from his god father, Siruis. Opening the window a large grey owl swooped in almost knocking Harry over. It landed on Hedwig's cage and held out it's leg for Harry to take off the letter attached to it's leg.
"Thank-you." he said, and went to his pillow and found knuts to put in the owl's pouch.
The owl hooted and fluttered out. Harry was about to open the letter, when the large owl outside began to make a racket, feathers flew and a small brown owl came out of the mess flying toward his window. Hooting furiously it landed on Harry's bed end.
"What was that!?" Harry's Uncle Vernon yelled from upstairs.
"It was an owl, I am sorry Uncle Vernon." Harry called down.
"If it is your bloody bird, you better lock it up!" he threatened.
Harry sighed and looked at the small owl who rested at the end of his bed. "Hullo Pig." he took the letter from the bird's leg. Pigwigeon hooted politely before flying off.
"Glad he finally calmed down a bit." he laughed to himself.
Opening the first letter he took a piece of paper off from an envelope with American stamps.
'Hello Harry,
Just explaining something before you open Dawn's letter. It's a week old, I couldn't help it, she doesn't have an owl of her own, and she didn't know your address. Hope you are having a good summer.
Willow Rosenberg.'
Harry read the first piece of paper, smiling to himself. Taking the envelope he teared it open.
'Hi ya Harry, L.A. is great! It's different from Sunnydale. Miss you a lot already, Buffy is saying she seems to already know you the way I talk.
How's your summer? Good? Bad? Are the relations treating you alright? Better be, we still have the slayer on our side, lol. Kennedy and Amanda didn't make the tests, so they are in England now training to be Watchers.
My summer has been great, still not done touring the city. I've got some new demon friends, I would never had thought there would be more demons in L.A. then Sunnydale. Anyway I was wondering if you would like to come over for the rest of the summer. I tried to send a letter to Ron, and Hermione, I hope they'd be able to come too.
Love Dawn.
p.s.; I know you probably got this late, and Stephanie says hi.'
Harry's smile broaden, wanting to write back immediately he grabbed his eagle feather quill, and sat at his desk. Two things hit him, he had no owl to send with, and he still had Ron's letter to open.
'Hello Harry,
How's the summer going? I just got a letter from Dawn asking if I could come to the United States for the summer. That would be fun but mum is a bit worried about it. I still have to find a good excuse to go, Ginny is so jealous.
Oh yeah Fred and George started their joke shop, and finally bought me new robes. Bloody brothers, so slow sometimes. So reply if you can go to Dawn's so I can add that to my excuses. Bye. Ron'
Harry stood there for a moment, listening if the air was calm so he could ask his uncle. Aunt Petunia was banging loudly with the pots and pans, and Uncle Vernon was stomping loudly around the house. Harry was wondering if the stomping was irregular heavy stomping or what. He sat back on his bed and waited a while longer.
*
"Uncle Vernon," Harry said sitting across from his large uncle.
Vernon Dursley looked up from the newspaper he was reading. His beady eyes looked at Harry in anger but at the same moment fear passed through them.
"Yes?" he asked sharply.
"I just got a letter from one of my school friends. They were wondering if I may be able to go to their house for the rest of the summer." Harry asked calmly.
His uncle stared at him, "It's not that freak who came for you two years ago?" he asked darkly.
"Uh, no." Harry said a bit shocked. "She has doesn't have magically inclined parents."
"She?" his uncle looked at him. "That is out of the question, it is just as bad that we would have had to drive you to your freaky friend's place."
Harry opened his mouth, but his aunt Petunia walked in, cleaning her hands on her apron. "Vernon, is there something the matter?" she looked menacingly at Harry.
"We were just ending the subject of Harry going to some girl's home."
Harry's aunt's eye brows went up then furrowed in anger. "Hmm, yes I do agree with your uncle, Harry."
Harry sighed, "You won't have to worry about me, anyway you don't want anything to happen like the previous years." he said slyly.
Petunia looked at her husband nervously.
Vernon thought back 2 years ago and just last summer, he grumbled angrily, "That won't happen again." he said dangerously.

Ginny Weasley was following her brother around the Borrow.
"Ginny stop it!" Ron turned on his younger sister.
"Why can't I go?" she whined.
"Because I was invited not you, and mum said you are too young to go to a large city far away." Ron said acting very childish.
"You made the last part up!" she said.
"Mum!" Ron yelled. "get Ginny to stop bothering me!"
"Ginny, stop bothering your brother." Mrs Weasley said from a different room.
Ron sighed and ran up to his room slamming the door.
"Mum Ron is being rude!" Ginny yelled to her mother.
"Ron --"
"Don't bother!" yelled Ron.
*
Harry woke up early, hearing a *tap tap* on his window. Opening up the window for the snowy owl, lit up his face. "Hedwig!" Harry smiled and stroked his bird. The owl showed him the weathered piece of parchment that was tied on her leg. He took it and opened it,
'Harry,
Thanks for worrying about me kid, but I am just fine. Snape and I are finally co-operating (bloody basterd). We got a clue of the where 'bouts of Voldemort. Sorry that your scar hurts, just keep your eyes sharp. If you wouldn't mind not owling me until I say its alright?
Your god father Sirius'
Reading the three lines his bright green eyes lit up in amazement but dulled to being almost worried. 'I guess that's good news.' he thought looking back at the note from his god father. He stood there for a bit thinking everything over before he realized that he has a owl to reply with. Harry got water and food for Hedwig before writing his replies to Dawn and Ron.

The Dursely's were eating lunch, when the doorbell rang. Everyone looked at Harry to open the door. He gratfully got up from the look Dudley was giving him, to answer the door.
"Professor Rosenberg!" Harry exclaimed, looking at his Defense against the dark arts teacher.
"Hello Harry. I was wondering if I could talk to your uncle about you going to Dawn's." Willow smiled.
"Uh you can try..." Harry said.
"Who is it boy?" his uncle called from the kitchen.
"Ms Rosenberg, Uncle Vernon." Harry called back.
Harry opened the door wider for Willow to come in.
"Thanks." she smiled.
"Who?" his uncle yelled walking into the hallway. He stopped suddenly looking at Willow's red hair.
Willow turned to face Mr. Dursley, smiling. "Hello, you must be Harry's uncle. I am Willow Rosenberg, I came to see if I could persuade you to let Harry come to my friend's house."
"Oh?" he narrowed his eyes dangerously. "and why is that?"
"Well she invited him, and they are good friends. I thought it would be nice for them and others to have some fun before school starts." Willow said still standing up.
"Really?"
"Yes. Now if it's an inconvenience to provide transportation, I'd be more then gladly to get him to her house, and back again." Willow explained.
Vernon looked at Harry and back a Willow, 'Well getting him away for the summer would be very nice. But getting him to do work is quiet amusing.' He thought sitting with a bemused look upon his face. "And you will be supervising this visit?" he asked curiously.
"Well no.. my good friend and sister of Dawn's will be more then glad to do that." Willow said.
Harry's anxious look was changed to not-so-joyous and worry.
A look of doubt and satisfaction came to Mr. Dursley, "Oh. Is that so? Well then, I suppose this would be OK. But of course if anything happens, it would prefered that I am not noted of it, do what you like to him." Vernon smiled a almost crazy smile which almost lit up Harry's face.
'He caved! I can't believe it." Harry smiled. 'I bet its because he thinks something is going to happen.' he looked at his uncle.
"Harry, go pack your stuff. Hurry I am giving you up to seven minutes." Vernon shooed harry with his hand and Harry ran up the stairs as fast as he could.
Willow looked around in confusion, and stared at Vernon Dursley for his treatment to Harry. Still a smile came to her face, 'Wow that was easy. All most too easy...'
