"HUH," gasped Harry as a black shaggy dog was snarling a Uncle Vernon who was attempting to poke it with the back end of a broom. Much like a deranged fencing idiot. The dog looked at harry and gave a cheerfull bark and trotted right past Uncle Vernon who was still in fencing position but harry could have sworn he heard him say "oh my back," but he wasn't sure. The dog walked past Aunt Petunia and Dudley. Petunia fainted at the sight of it and Dudley whimpered and ran off. The dog reached harry and sat down. Harry patted the dog and went over and shut the door forgetting his uncle was still outside. As soon as the door shut the dog turned into a man wearing black dusty robes, with messy hair. much like harry. "Sirius!!!" Yelled harry as he ran into Siriuss open arms. They gave each other a quick hug. Harry then asked, "What are you doing here, didn't Dumblemore tell to to stay with Lupin,"

"change of plan, im supposed to escort you tomorrow to get your books and then youre to stay with the weaslies and im coming, oh yes, well have to bring your neighbours, I doubt they'll figure it out." Replied Sirius, "but First we need to fix up this mess." Sirius pulled out a wand and whizzed Aunt Petunia onto the sofa. Then he pointed his wand towards that door and wiggled it a little bit. Harry then heard his uncle yell, "OH MY BACK" harry heard a crack and saw that Sirius was again a dog. Vernon let himself in and harry saw his face was as red as a tomato. He lifted his finger and opened his mouth and prepared to yell something but Sirius growled and Vernon noticed this, so harry simply said, "The dog STAYS with me," that's all he said and then he went up to his room followed by the dog. Harry packed his trunk and went back down and out the door, he was going to see the neighbours and see how they were doing. Harry went out with Sirius close behind. Harry went up the the other house. He noticed the garage door open and lots of furniture outside. A woman followed by a boy came out and lifted up a sofa and prepared to moveit inside. "er. excuse me. are you moving in"

"huh oh yes," sorry were such a mess, just got our stuff, can I help."

"er yeah, im sorry your just moving in and everything, but I heard that your kids are going to Hogwarts. is that right." The lady and and the boy just gasped

"youre a..a..also a wizard??" she said"?

"yes, I just wanted to say that im leaving for Diagon Alley tomorrow and that if youd like to come I could show you."

"why yes sure what time???"

"er. snuffles??? You didn't mention a time."

"um excuse me honey are you asking the dog what time your going."

"its an animagus."
