Harry Potter and Marauder's Map
Harry awoke on Privet Drive with a pain on his forehead. During his unconciousness, Harry had recently had a dream about Lord Voldemort. He fell off of his bed and began clutching his scar.
"Ouuuuuuuuuuu!!!" Harry screamed. He heard a loud thumping from his floor.
"Uncle Vernon," he thought.
He was right. Downstairs, Harry's Uncle Vernon had grabbed a broom and was pounding the ceiling. Immediately, Harry got up still grasping his forehead. He laid back on his bed, wondering when Hedwig would return with Ron's answer. Just then, a snowy owl flew in from the window and dropped a letter on Harry's bed. As soon as he opened it, he recognized his best friend's messy handwriting.
Harry,
Mum and Dad said you could come a week before school to stay at the Burrow. Hermione will be here too, so we can all go shopping in Diagon Alley. I hope your scar hasn't hurt all summer. You-know-who is still out there Harry. In any case your scar hurts, send an owl to Dumbledore or Snuffles immediately. Hope to see you soon.
Ron
Harry read the letter again. Then he picked up a piece of parchment and a quill, and sat at his desk, writing a letter to Sirius.
When he was through he attatched the letter to Hedwig and sent her out. Then he lay back down and thought about where his godfather was. As soon as he was thinking about where Sirius was, he drifted back to sleep.

Harry woke abrubtly with a horrid dream in his mind. He saw Lord Voldemort killing his parets, Lily and James. Although he knew it was just a dream, it had felt so real to Harry.
He got up and went downstairs where Uncle Vernon and Dudley were sitting at the kitchen table. Uncle Vernon was reading the newspaper and Harry's cousin Dudley was stuffing his face with pancakes. Aunt Petunia was standing at the stoves flipping more pancakes while between bites, Dudley was scolding at her for not having more on his plate.
"Good morning," Harry managed to say. Dudley and Aunt Petunia were too busy to respond to this but Uncle Vernon mumbled a small, "Hello."
"There's two weeks until I have to return to Hogwart--I mean my school," Harry said. He was not allowed to mention anything that had to do with magic in the Dursley's presence.
"We'll take you to the station, don't worry," Aunt Petunia said.
"But, I'm supposed to stay with Ron the week before it starts," Harry protested.
Ron and Hermione would be awfully disappointed if Harry couldn't make it to the Burrow.
"Then you're going to have to have them come and get you because we're not driving around the country so you can stay with them," Uncle Vernon told him.
"Fine, I'll send an owl--I mean letter," he said.
Harry climbed back up the stairs and picked up a piece of parchment and began a letter to Ron.
Ron,
Uncle Vernon said I could come to the Burrow only if you come and me.
Harry
P.S. Please don't travel by fireplaces.
Harry had to wait to send this because he had just sent Hedwig out to Sirius. The he heard a scraping noise at his window. Surely Hedwig hadn't returned yet. Sirius could not be that close.
When Harry opened the window, a familiar snowy white owl had returned with a letter. She dropped it and perched in her cage. Harry opened it and about fell off his seat when he read it.
Harry,
I know it took a very short time to return. I am in England and I want to see you so we can talk about your scar. Once you have returned to Hogwarts, go into the Gryffindor common room at 1:00 A.M. I will see you there.
Sirius
Harry was excited. He got to see Sirius and on the first day back at his school. He got to stay with Ron and Hermione for a week along with Ginny, Fred, George, and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley.

Harry reached under his bed and grabbed his trunk. He opened it and saw the familiar robes, wand, books, and his firebolt. After making sure everything was there, he closed his trunk and lugged it downstairs awaiting the Weasley's arrival. Then Harry heard a noise. It sounded like Mr. Weasley's flying car, but it couldn't be because it had been chewed up by the Whomping Willow at Hogwarts.
It was the flying car. He saw it lowering onto the driveway. Hopefully no Muggle had seen it including the Dursleys.
Harry yelled a goodbye and headed out the door to greet the Weasleys. Outside awaited Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Ron, and Ginny. Ginny blushed at the sight of Harry. Mrs. Weasley raced over to Harry and squeezed him tightly. Mr. Weasley just said, "Hi, Harry." Ron came over, slapped him on the back and said, "Great to see you Harry."
"Let me help you with that, "Ginny offered Harry when she saw him struggling with his trunk.
"It's quite all right, thanks," Harry said. Ginny went slightly pink.
After loading Harry's trunk, they all climbed back in and Harry started a conversation. "So how did you get the car back Mr. Weasley?"
"I didn't," he said, pausing, "We got a new one since you mentioned we couldn't use Floo powder."
"Oh," was all Harry said, "It's great to see you all," Harry said.

Soon they were at the Weasley house normally called, The Burrow. Harry and Ron stayed behind as the rest went inside.
"Have you heard from Snuffles?" Ron asked eagerly.
"Yes. I'm supposed to meet him in the Gryffindor common room at 1:00 A.M. the day we arrive back at Hogwarts," Harry answered.
"Great. Has your scar been giving you any trouble?"
"It only hurt once the entire summer, so I sent an owl to Snuffles."
"OK."
They walked into the Burrow, Harry still carrying his trunk.
"Hermione should be here any minute," Ron said. They were both anxious to see their other best friend, Hermione Granger.
"Good, I can't wait," said Harry.
