I do not own Harry Potter or any other related characters (sadly). But, you already knew that didn't you?
Well, this is my first Harry Potter fic. I usually write Inuyasha fics but I thought I'd give them a break and move on to another victim...I mean err....Subject.

The Present

Harry sat on his bead staring out into a dreary privet drive. It was raining that day, but everywhere else seemed to be sunny. Maybe he felt this way because he would've rather been anywhere else but number four privet drive that day. His Uncle Vernon was throwing a tantrum Dudley had come home with a bad report. Apparently, he had gotten in a number of fights and was close to expulsion. Vernon's roars could be heard all they way in Harry's room.
"A DURSELY, GETTING EXPELLED FROM SCHOOL, WHY IT'S UNHEARD OF!! DUDLEY WOULDN'T HURT A FLY!"
"Vernon keep your voice down what will the neighbors think!" whispered aunt petunia.
"I suppose your right petunia"
Upstairs Harry had his head under the pillow. It was getting close to breakfast time and his stomach was growling. Hermione had sent him some granola for his birthday (sugar free of course) with a card attached.

Happy 16th birthday Harry! Hope to see you soon!
Hermione

Granola wasn't exactly something he wanted to eat for breakfast no matter how hungry he was. So he decided to put it away for later use. Ron had also sent him a gift, a necklace, a rather odd looking necklace. Attached was a note written in Ron's quick handwriting.

It's a Dragons fang Harry! I got it from Charlie. Hope you
like it. Its supposed to protect you from...something or the
other. Happy Birthday! Oh and by the way, Mum and Dad are
picking you up next week. Something about the, something...or
the other...there, well you'll find out when you get here.
Ron

Harry lay on his bed staring up at the ceiling. "I wonder how long I have to stay here" he thought. Just then an owl pecked on his window what carrying what he thought was the daily prophet. Harry had been trying to watch for sings of Voldermot. He opened the window to find not the daily prophet but a letter from Mr.Weasly.
Harry,
Were coming to pick you up this Saturday, do you think those muggles will allow you to leave? If they will we'll be there at 4. If they wont we'll be there at 4.
Sincerely yours,
Arthur Weasly

That's one thing that Harry loved about the Weaslys. They were always looking out for his best interest. Even if it meant angering others in the process.
