The lightning lit up the dark gray sky as a man with drenched black hair in a trench coat swept though the pelting rain. He was accompanied by a women with scarlet red hair which hung drenched around her face as she looked down at the bundle she held in her arms with her own coat covering the bundle from view. The two kept looking around as if they were trying to make sure they were not followed. They went up to the house in front of them, which was completely lit except for the dark attic window. As they huddled at the only dry place on the veranda right before the door and knocked. After a few minutes a women with long chestnut brown hair came to the door and as she opened it she gasped at the two and ushered them in quickly. When the two were inside to the lounge they were greeted by three other people, two female and were obviously related to the first women and a tall fair man who was holding a young baby boy in his arms. As the two took off their coats the women with brown hair asked the other whom was now you could see holding a small sleeping baby girl. "Lily, I haven't seen you for ages I thought you said it would be safer." She said confused. Then seeing the baby her concern disappeared as she lightly touched the baby's head estimating that she was only days old. Lily looked to the other man and then to the other women, "Piper, James and I need a favor from you, all of you if you cant its ok but you are the only people I know that can handle this." Lily said as the looked at all four people. "How can we help?" Piper replied straight away.
Present Day.
Harry lay in his bed looking up at the ceiling thinking with his arms folded behind his head. Today he was 16 and he felt miserable, he had been hoping to be away from Privet Drive before his birthday but it seemed that that had been too much to ask. As he heard a tapping sound from his window his head snapped around to see his owl Hedwig along with his best friends Ron's minuet owl Pig tapping their beaks at his window. He quickly got up and opened the door before they broke the glass, or worse woke up his aunt, uncle or cousin. He let the two birds into his room and grabbed the over excited yet very tired Pig before he feel to the ground in exhaustion due to the medium package he had been carrying with the help of Hedwig. Hedwig was also carrying a package along with a letter, untying both these packages and the letter Harry let the owls go to Hedwig's cages and quench their thirst as he began to open the packages. First he opened the envelope attached to the package Pig had been carrying, it read:
Harry, Happy Birthday! I know you were hoping to get away from there before now but unfortunately Dumbledore said you shouldn't yet as there is something he needs to do first. He said that on the night you get here there will be a meeting all can attend. (Fudge is coming to unfortunately) I hope you like the gift!! Ron.
Harry putting the parchment down confused at what might be going on at the Headquarters for the Order of Phoenix but thought that Dumbledore would explain at the meeting. Well he hoped he would. Harry ripped of the brown paper covering the parcel to find a box case inside. In the case was a small golden ball, which zoomed out of his hand as he picked it up. Harry reached out quickly and caught it. Keeping a hold on the ball he read the fine silver on the bottom of the box, 'simulated practice snitch. To call back when finish ``returoneia``. Smiling Harry put the snitch back in the box and placed it on his desk as he read the letter attached to the other parcel.
Dear Harry, I know that Ron has already told you about the meeting and I wont drop and cryptic clues so forget it. (Harry laughs softly as not to wake anyone else up) I hope you are ok and like you I am wondering what Dumbledore is up to. From what I hear only Lupin has the slightest idea what is going on but he wont say anything. I hope you have a Happy Birthday! Hermione.
Harry opened Hermione's gift quickly finding the latest edition book on broom maintenance and grinned at his good fortune as he also found a box of chocolate frogs. Harry then turned to the last item he hadn't opened yet. He could tell it wasn't his Hogwarts letter so opening it he found a letter from professor Lupin.
Dear Harry, I know you are frustrated about not being able to come back yet but some information has surfaced which we have been investigating. The most important news I have to tell you has nothing to do with the Order and both Dumbledore and myself believe you deserve to know first and decided what to do about it. I cannot say more in this letter in case it is intercepted. Hoping to see you soon Remus Lupin
Harry put down Professor Lupin's letter feeling even more confused then before he read it. What could possibly be very important to him that couldn't be put in writing yet had nothing to do with the Order. Harry put the thoughts out of his mind, as he looked though the book he had gotten until he heard Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon and Dudley down stairs in the kitchen. He got dressed and walked downs stairs slowly to find Uncle Vernon reading a letter quickly which at a glance looked as if it were writing by Professor Lupin but then Harry shook his head. He wouldn't have written to uncle Vernon. As Harry sat down at the table with his bowl of cereal Uncle Vernon put down the letter and began to eat his own breakfast. "I was waiting for when your friends would come pick you up." He said as he tossed the letter towards Harry. As he glanced at it Harry saw that the letter was indeed from professor Lupin, it stated that Himself and another wizard would be by that afternoon to pick up Harry who would stay with them for the rest of the summer.
