            'Ughh!  I can't wait until school starts!' Harry thought to himself.  It was a warm summer night and Harry already had dinner and now was sitting up in his room.  'If only I could've stayed with Ron or someone!' Saying this, Harry realized why it was impossible to do that.  Although Valdemort already knew where his Aunt and Uncle's house was, Dumbledore had preferred Harry staying with them instead putting the Wesley's life in more danger than it already was.  'Wait! If Valdemort knows where I go every summer, than won't it be obvious that he'll come looking for me here?  Then if he kills the Dursley's I won't have any family left at all!  Where would I go then?  How would I survive?'  As if on cue, Mad Eye Moody appeared out side of Harry's window.

"Moody?  What are you doing here?!" Harry commanded.

"Well didn't we say back at the station before you came here that if you didn't communicate with us for three days in a row, we would come looking for you?"  Moody replied matter-of-factly.  "And it's been three days.  It's like that Muggle game…three strikes your out!"

"Oh yeah.  Well it's only been a month since I came here.  Although I am quite glad to see you!"

"What's the matter?  They've been treating you badly?"  Moody growled.

"No, no.  I just needed to talk to someone. Thas all, really."

"Well, if you let me in, I'll gladly stay for support."

As Harry slid his window open a bit wider, Uncle Vernon stormed in.  "Who you talking to boy?" he raged.

"Me," Moody growled halfway through the window.

"YOU!"  Vernon yelped half-angry and half-frightened.  "What are you doing here?  I mean, you know, you could have used the front door instead of going through this trouble."  He let out a nervous laugh.

"Actually I would go open that door now if you don't want your wife having a heart attack seeing so many wizards at one time." Moody grunted not showing any concern.
