The Weasley's were the first people Harry went and saw. Mrs Figg let him use the floo powder as long as he told her were he was going and he would owl her if he was going longer than a day. "Aaaaaaaaagggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh." Screamed Mrs Weasley. "Oh my, Harry you absoultly scared me." "Molly, what is it?" said Mr Weasly folowed by all of the Weasly children. "Oh Aruthur. Harry just gave me a fright." "Harry?" replied Aruthur "Hey Mr Weasley" said Harry. "Harry! What are you doing here? What about the muggles?" asked Harry's best friend Ron. "I'm here to visit you guys and the 'muggles' are on a vacation in Russia and left me with Mrs Figg, who happens to be a witch!" answered Harry. "Cool" Fred and Geroge at the same time. "Oh that's great Harry, dear!" said Mrs Weasley giving Harry a hug, "It's good to see you again." "Yes. It's great, but if you'll excuse me I must get back to work." Said Percy. "Percy you haven't changed one bit!" said Harry, laughing. "Harry we were planning on going to play Quidditch, you wanna come play? Charlie got some new brooms so I'm sure he'll lend you one."
"Sure I'll lend you one Harry." Replied Charlie. So off set Harry, Ron , Fred, Geroge and Bill to play Quidditch.
Once Harry had finished his lunch with the Weasley's he decided he should go and promised to come back another day.

Someone was waiting for Harry when he got back. "Hey Professor Lupin." Professor Lupin looked up in surprise.
"Oh, hello Harry. I thought you'd be staying at the Weasley's a little longer?"
"Oh, uh, no I thought I'd come back."
"There's someone else waiting in the hall for you." Lupin smiled Harry went into the hall when, to his surprise, a big, black dog was sitting there. Harry reconised it in seconds.
"Hello Sirius" The dog jumped and turn to look at Harry, then it stood up and started to lose it's fur, soon where the dog had been sitting, a tall man stood there. He smiled.
"Hello Harry" Sirius look like Harry remembered him to, except for one thing, he look a lot heathier. Harry smiled.
"You haven't wrote to me in awhile, Harry, I thought you were in danger or something.
"Well, you were on that secret mission thing from Dumbledore, so I didn't know if it was safe to write to you."
"I'll except that excuse."
"Come on Harry, Lupin wants to tell you something." Harry looked curiously at Sirius as he followed him. He sat down on the couch and Sirius sat next him. He looked at Lupin curiously.
"Well I guess you told Harry I had something to tell him then Sirius? Well Harry I do have something to tell you. I've recived a lot of mail and have decided to go back to teaching Defence against the Dark Arts!"
"Really? Cool! Oh wait till the look on Malfoy's face when he finds out!"
"Oh, hello Minister" said Mrs Figg.
"Quick, Sirius, change" hissed Lupin and Sirius quickly change back into a dog.
"Harry. How good is it to see you, and you too Remus. How are you both? Good I trust!" And Fudge sat down next to Harry, and Sirius, whom while a dog they called Snuffles, sat at Harry's side looking as though if Fudge made one wrong move, he'd pounce on him. Harry started to pat Snuffles to try and keep him from pouncing.
"A very protective dog you've got there Harry"
"He's mine minister, but he seem to have taken a liking to Harry" said Lupin smiling while giving Snuffles a look and he settled down.
"Ahh, yes, well. We all make mistakes. Uhh, will you be taking the dog to Hogwarts?"
"No minister, I have some friends that'll look after him for me"
"Ahh, of course" Harry sat there patting Snuffles, quite happy to be kept out of the conversation.
"So, Harry are -" when an owl came in with an urgent letter for Fudge. "Well, I must go. Urgent buisness. I'll come back another time to see you Harry" and with that he disapparted to the office.
"Well, that was close" said Lupin "Sirius you can come back" and with that Sirius change.
"That was too close! What if that happens again and I am court we are all going to get into trouble! I think we should go somewhere else!"
"No. Wait. No one from the ministery will be coming. There's a very important meeting they all have to go to. They won't bother us!" Harry read off the letter that Fudge left behind. And on that Sirus and Lupin stay 'till night and then left.

The six weeks ended way too soon for Harry. He always had fun everyday even when he was just helping Mrs Figg.
"I wish I could stay longer," Harry said on the last day waiting for Vernon. Just then, before Mrs Figg could say anything, Vernum pulled into the drive and knocked on the door. Mrs Figg answered it.
"I hope he hasn't been too much of a pain for you?"
"No no. His been a darling. In fact I would be willing to look after him for the rest of the holidays. And drive him to the train station to catch the train for school"
"Oh I couldn't impose"
"No I insist. I just love having Harry 'round the house"
"Oh well, OK, if you insist" and Vernon left. Harry couldn't belive his luck.
"Thank you sooo much Mrs Figg!!"
"Your welcome Harry. I just couldn't let you go back to those awlful muggles!"
