By the time that Harry had put a block between him and his Aunt and Uncle's house, his anger had burned itself out and he relaxed himself a bit. He was still enraged at Dudley for mocking Sirius, but he didn't let his thoughts brood on the subject, instead he tried to plan out plan out what he might do for the day, not wanting to hang around the house any more then he had to. It was still some time before he would be going to stay with the Order of the Phoenix and he was glad he was leaving early this year.
As Harry walked along the streets he was unaware that the sun was slowly rising bring forth a new day. He wandered around lost in thought and followed wherever his feet were taking him. As Harry turned down an alley way a rough voice spoke from behind.
'You best not go waving that wand around again Potter,' the voice said, 'You don't want to get busted again for underage magic.'
Harry wiped around, wand in hand, only to come face to face with the grim looking face of Mad-Eye Moody. His magical eye was spinning fast in his empty eye socket put his real eye was still fixed straight on Harry. Harry grinned in spite of himself.
'I don't know,' Harry laughed, 'seems to keep Dudley in line even though he knows I'm not supposed to do magic until next year. I suppose he is afraid that Dementors while attack him again.'
'Keep your voice down boy,' Mad-Eye growled, 'It's early but Muggles are still about.'
With that, Mad-Eye whipped out the same hat, at that had made him look even more sinister, that he had when he confronted Uncle Vernon after Harry got off the Hogwort's Express. Moody beckoned to Harry to follow him and Harry ran up beside him.
But suddenly Harry stopped and looked at Moody. 'Wait a second,' Harry said causing Moody to stop, 'How do I know that you are the real Mad- Eye, not the a impostor looking to do me in? I was fooled once.'
Mad-Eye looked at Harry for a second then broke into a smile, 'That's more like it lad,' he said with some distinct hint of pride, 'being more cautious will keep you alive. So you want proof, eh? Ok how's this, the Order's new HQ is in padfoot's old home.'
Harry let out a sigh of relief, he knew this was the real Moody, for only he and other members of the Order of the Phoenix knew about Sirius's old home being their new head quarters. Harry nodded in satisfaction and proceeded to walk beside Moody, who led him back the way they had come.
'Harry it's only a couple of weeks till we come and pick you up, so try to stay out of trouble.' Mad-Eye said not looking at Harry, 'Dumbledore has managed to keep you out of serious trouble with the ministry so far, lets not try and push our luck when Voldemort is now openly back.'
Harry nodded at Mad-Eye's wisdom, he knew that he was not supposed to let Harry know who he was when he was being watched over, and that he had taken a big risk to come out a talk to Harry.
'Will I be leaving the same way this year?' Harry asked.
'Yes,' Mad-Eye answered, 'You are still to young to apperate and we don't need draw to much attention in setting up a port key.'
Harry didn't like the sound of this, last year he had nearly frozen on his broomstick when his guard led him all over the place encase they were being followed. He hoped that this year they might shave off some time and arrive a little warmer.
As they reached Harry's Aunt and Uncle's home, Mad-Eye stopped and turned to look at Harry (with both his eyes). 'I don't need to remind you that you still have leverage over those Muggles (At this he jabbed his thumb at the house). If they give you a hard time, just send word to us by owl.'
Harry nodded and turned his head to look at the house, it seemed so quiet and peaceful that Harry knew his Uncle must still be sleeping. When he turned back to look at Moody, he was already gone, Harry knew that he had gone back on duty and was still watching him.
With that comforting thought, Harry walked back up the path to his home and went back inside.

The two weeks passed by slowly and the days seemed to drag on and nothing eventful had happened to Harry since he met Moody. Before long it was the end of July and Harry was wait downstairs for the advance guard to arrive. They had sent him a letter before hand telling him when to expect them so they would not surprise Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia.
It was half past noon and Harry was now expecting them to arrive at anytime. His Aunt and Uncle were waiting with him, they didn't seem to like the fact that the last time they had been miss led and when they got home they had found wizards had been in their homes and Harry was gone. Not that Harry's leaving disappointed them, it was just the fact that people like Harry had gone tramping, as they said, around their house without their permission.
So now they waited with Harry inside the living room, Uncle Vernon was dressed in one of his best business suits and Aunt Petunia was also dressed as though she where going out for the evening. They had dressed like these when the Weasleys had come to pick him up 2 years ago, however that turned into an all out disaster when Dudley ate one of Ron's brothers, Fred and George's, jinxed toffees, his tongue had grown to a rather unsettling length before the Dursley's let Mr. Weasley fix him up.
'So how will they be arriving?' Uncle Vernon asked, 'They had better at least look normal.'
'They are going to be hidden, I think so don't worry, and nobody will see them.' Harry answered his Uncle.
Just then voices could be heard coming from outside. Uncle Vernon strode over to the front door he flung it open only to find that there was no one there. Uncle Vernon looked extremely puzzled and worried at the same time. But as he made to close the door again four people suddenly appeared right in the living room. Aunt Petunia gave a slight scream of surprise and quickly backed away, Dudley who had been standing behind her ran to the side of his father, looking terrified. He had had to many experiences with full-grown wizards to know what they could do when angered.
Before anyone else could say or do anything, Mad-Eye looked around at Uncle Vernon.
'So Dursley I see that Harry is still in good shape.' Mad-Eye growled, 'Good, that's very good for you, now if you will excuse us we have to be going rather quickly.'
With a flick of his wand, Mad-Eye lifted up Harry's trunk as though it where on invisible strings and handed it over to Tonks whose hair was now a short cut deep blue. All the wizards took their turns in saying hi to Harry and wishing him a happy birthday as they made ready to leave. Remus Lupin and Mr. Weasley could also be accounted in Harry's guard; this put him at ease to know that people he knew and trusted were to be traveling with him.
'Ready Potter?' Mad-Eye asked as he limped over to him. Harry nodded and Mad-Eye looked to the others, 'You all know the drill so lets get going, we are already running behind.'
Without even a word from the Dursleys (much to the dislike of Mr. Weasley) Harry and the others departed to through the Durlsey's back door. The bright July sun shinned on them as they stepped out into the open air. The Dursleys had come to the window to watch, probably out of fear that the neighbours might see something.
'Right Potter just stay with the rest of us and you'll be fine.' Moody instructed, ' and you remember what way to go encase we don't.'
'Jeez Alastor,' Mr. Weasley spoke, 'stop sounding so cheerful all the time.'
'Arthur I just saying-' Mad-Eye growled.
'I remember to fly eastward and meet up with the other guard, yes, yes now lets get going I want to get out of here.' Harry said impatiently. 'Right here we go,' Mad-Eye said hitting Harry on the head with his wand. It felt like an egg was smashed on top of his head, but Harry remembered this, it was the Disillusionment Charm. Grabbing his Firebolt Harry made ready to kick off when Uncle Vernon came storming into the back yard. 'Now see here!' he hissed as though not to raise the neighbours, 'Don't you go doing anything funny like that in MY yard. I-' But Uncle Vernon stopped short as Mr. Weasley's wand pointed straight at his chest. 'Now see here.' Mr. Weasley snapped, 'I know that you mistreat Harry and by Merlin if you make on more comment I see to it that the Tongue Toffee will be only the beginning. Now get back inside and shut up!' Uncle Vernon backed away rather quickly, almost tripping over his own legs, and slammed the back door shut. Harry stared at Mr. Weasley in awe, he had never before seen Mr. Weasley this angry before, and it was quite unnerving. 'Right sorry about that,' Mr. Weasley said after recovering himself, 'Shall we?' And with that they were off into the bright noon sky and Harry tasted his first bit of real freedom that summer, and it was very sweet.

the journey wasn't as long as Harry had thought it might be, instead it was quite short and before Harry knew it, he had arrived at Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place. Even though the house looked like it hadn't been lived in for years (besides the year before when it was made into the new head quarters, it had not) it still felt like home to Harry.
As they quickly entered the door, Harry was greeted by a burst of sound. But it wasn't the usual noise of Mrs. Black's painting, it was surrounded of people welcoming Harry back and wishing him a happy birthday. After shaking many hands and saying hello to a few familiar faces, he found Ron and Hermonie beaming as they had fought their way through the crowd to see Harry.
'Harry about time that you arrived,' Ron laughed, 'you look a little frozen, have this, it'll perk you right back up.'
Ron handed him a Butter Beer and Harry drank it gratefully, now Hermonie moved next to Harry to speak to him over the sound of the crowd.
'We have had some time trying to get ready on time,' She said, 'There was a slight problem when Tonks knocked over the cake by accident, but it Mrs. Weasley fixed it.'
'Cake?' Harry asked questioningly, he still wasn't used to the fact that there were people celebrating his birthday.
But before Hermonie Mrs. Weasley came out of the crowd and wrapped Harry in a hug, 'Harry dear its good to see you!' She cried over the noise, she released him and went on. 'Everything is already but we are waiting for one more guest so make yourself at home!'
Harry stared in amazement, almost everyone he had every know in the order was there, but the one face that Harry noticed missing was.
'Oh here he is now, about time to!' Mrs. Weasley said as she made her way over to the door to greet the new guest. Harry turned to see who it was; it was almost quite a surprise to see Albus Dumbledore standing in the doorway with a large thin package grasped under one arm.
