It was unlike the Dursley's to just disappear like this, Harry thought to himself. Usually Uncle Vernon would come in and lecture him like a three-year-old before the Dursley's left for this long a time...

Some time had passed since he had gotten the note from Lupin-- Where was the Order? An odd suspicion began to grip Harry... He locked his door.

Harry looked over to the corner at a snowy white owl. Hedwig lay fast asleep in her cage. Getting out a piece of parchment, Harry wrote a quick note:

Where are you? I thought you said you were coming to pick me up.

Harry

"Hedwig," Harry said gently, waking his owl up. "I need you to take this to Professor Lupin for me."

The owl blinked peacefully in understanding and had soon left with the letter.

Harry was all alone now. His feeling of anticipation was growing more and more powerful by the second...

After a few minutes, Harry began to feel drowsy again. He ws getting tired of waiting. Where was everybody? They were leaving him out again.

Another half an hour had passed before Hedwig arrived back. Harry noticed she looked put-out as he took Professor Lupin's reply from her.

Harry,

What are you talking about? I did not send you a letter. Write back ASAP.

Remus

Harry stared confused at the letter for a second but stopped as he felt someone touching his shoulder...
