Harry quickly pulled his invisibility cloak out of his trunk. He laid it over all of the presents, carefully covering all parts. He had to persuade Sirius (in dog form) to hide under the bed. Just as Sirius got under the bed, VeRnon had unlocked the door and pushed it open.

"What's going on in here BOY?" Vernon growled, stepping into the room. "Marge thinks your dead. That's the only way I could get her to come over, after the incident last year. You Better Keep quiet. OR ELSE!" He was about to leave when Harry spoke.

"You know Uncle Vernon," He said, stepping in front of him. "My Godfather wouldn't like how you're treating me." Vernon went a pale-purple color.

"I won't tolerate this.this.BLACKMAIL!" He said, raising his voice. "I want you out of this house by MORNING!" at this, Vernon turned and left the room. Harry was shocked at first. Than he realized that he'd never have to tolerate the DURSLEY'S again. He quickly shut the door, and began packing. ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` At the burrow "Do you think the Dursley's will let Harry come over this year? He's 15 now ya know." Ginny Weasley said at the breakfast table.

"Of course they will Ginny." Fred and George said, smiling maliciously. Mr. Weasley heard them and rushed over.

"What did you do to those people THIS time?" She asked angrily. The twins went pale.

"Nothing mum. We just gave Harry a birthday present." Fred said quickly. "We took Snuffles over there." (He had to say snuffles because Fudge was there that morning) Mrs. Weasley gave them a happy/loving look and gave them more waffles.

"Who's snuffles?" Fudge asked, shoving a large piece of waffle in his mouth. Ron looked worriedly over at Fred.

"Oh, Harry's favorite dog. Snuffles has been a stray for years, so we figured Harry'd like 'im." George replied calmly. Ron gave him a satisfied look and went back to eating. "Oh, hey Ron." George continued, "I invited Hermione to come over earlier."

"H-how m-much earlier? She was supposed to come tomorrow." Ron said, bright red. Fred laughed.

"In two hours. You'd better go get ready now, you still have to clean your room." Bill said, starting to laugh harder than the twins. Everyone, including Mrs. Weasly, laughed at the sight of Ron rushing upstairs in a red blurr.

Sirius and Harry went through the rest of Snapes gift. At the bottom they found a cherry wood box, it was covered in dust. Tears swelled in Sirius' eyes as Harry wiped the dust off. 'Lily' was finely carved on the top. Harry tried to open it but he couldn't.

"It wont open that easily Harry." Sirius said, wiping the moisture off his eyes. "I made it that way. It was a gift to your mother on her wedding day. There's a special Key to it. And.it's buried."

"Where? Where's it buried Sirius?" Harry asked, exited. Sirius turned toward the window.

"AH, Remus, here you are." Sirius smiled, hugging his friend. "We have to go back."

"Yes, Sirius. It, unfortunately, it is time to go back." Remus said, looking at the ground. Harry was confused.

"Where are we going?" He asked, facing them. They wouldn't tell him, they would only tell him to pack everything. Sirius shrunk all the luggage and put it in his pocket.

"Arabella's house is the closest to us." Remus said, opening the window. One by one, the jumped out, quietly landing on the grass. They quickly walked to Mrs. Figgs house. She was waiting at the door, a small pot of floo powder in her hand.

"Hurry up you three. You don't have much time." She said showing them to the study.

"What do you mean?" Harry asked, grabbing a handful of floo powder. Arabella looked at him.

"Sirius will tell you later. Make sure, Sirius, that he doesn't leave there until school starts. He can invite some friends but that's IT." She sternly said. One by one they left.
