So here was Harry, appetite all gone and what was he about to do, definitely making those frustrated looks into deep angry scowls. Well he had to start now or never. And he had to begin with a nice start.

Is it not a good morning, Aunt Petunia! Harry reached to pat her back in a friendly matter, but she pulled back right away. Ok, well I might as well tell you the good news that my friends have decided to finally pick me up, outta here. Harry waited for a response and finally it came.

So your bloody friends, huh, when are you leaving and they better not pull off some idiot crap again boy or you won't see the end of this day! Uncle Dursley said.

Well actually I have no clue how they plan to get here, but we'll find that out in five minutes, won't we. I might as well grab my stuff and get ready to go. Harry had two more steps to the hallway. but right then...

WHAT!!! Uncle Dursley growled, IS THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN, BOY!

Well actually I thought this would be great news to you, I mean getting rid of me for the rest of the summer... Harry tried.

It doesn't matter, WHY DIDNT YOU TELL US BEFORE? NOW HOW CAN WE HAVE THESE PEOPLE OF YOUR WORLD EXPOSED IN OUR HOUSE? WHAT WILL THE NEIGHBORS SAY? Uncle Dursley interrupted. But just right then when all his questions could have been ignored, did they know that that screeching halt was bringing all the answers to them. All people of 4 Privet Drive stood up in curiosity and peeked out their kitchen window. For seconds they just stared out at the driveway seeing what must have been the most magnificent car they'd ever seen and for Uncle Dursley that was something. As Harry turned to look at Uncle Dursley, he saw to his amazement that Uncle Dursley's jaw wasn't only dropped to the ground but he saw in his uncle's eyes great envy for just this car, wow how muggles reacted to these kind of items. Yet again he had done the same thing when he had first laid eyes on a Fire Bolt. When they all finally had taken hold of themselves, all three Dursleys fixed themselves up to greet their guest. Of course Harry knew to stay back, and waited for the Dursleys to give him the speech of not making a sound and pretend that he was of no existence. So when they hurried up to the front door, Harry started for his room in quick and quiet steps. But when he reached the third steps he heard a very familiar voice call out his name.

Harry, there you are. Well hello Dursleys, its great pleasure to see you again. Mr. Weasley exclaimed.

Suddenly there were, YOU! Get OUT of my house! By then both Dudley and Aunt Petunia were already hidden behind his uncle. Harry quickly stormed in his room grabbed all his possessions and dashed sown the stairs like a flash. When he reached the front door, Uncle Dursley was talking about how dared wizards used precious items as cars and Mr. Weasley was trying his best to underestimate that thought, but seemed very glad when Harry was ready to go.

Well, Good Bye! said Harry. And for the very first time in ever they responded to his farewell.

Yes Good Bye, Boy And they slammed the door on our face.

Well at least they did a proper greeting. Mr. Weasley said.

Yes, Indeed. Harry said. They were very impressed of the car. Actually how did you get such a ride?

Well Harry, after you-know-who, we have been treated much better at the Ministry. Mr. Weasley said as he opened up the door.

HARRY! Hermione yelped. She practically hugged him off his feet. Mr. Weasley was trying his best to underestimate that thought, but seemed very glad when Harry was ready to go. "Well, good-bye!" said Harry as if he really meant it. Surprisingly for the very first time they responded to his farewell. "Yes, well good bye boy" and they slammed the door on their face. Mr. Weasley looked back at Harry and said "at least they did a proper greeting." "Yes indeed," Harry responded "the only reason they said farewell was because he was impressed by their car. How did you get such a ride anyway?" Smiling back Mr. Weasley said "Well, after You-Know-Who, we've been treated much better at the Ministry." and opened the car door. Mr. Weasley seemed very proud of this because he knew that this was a step in the right direction for him in becoming the next Ministry of Magic. "HARRY!" Hermione yelped as she practically jumped out of the car and hugged Harry off his feet. "Don't worry, mate, she's been doing that all day" said his best friend Ron.

Harry noticed that the car had been enlarged from the inside, but looked just fine from the outside, just one magic trick that always amazed him. Seated in the car were Lupin, Tonks, Mad Eye Moody, Ginny Weasley, and Mrs. Weasley. They all greeted him and helped put his luggage inside the trunk; which was already full of Hermione's things all probably packed with books. As he got into the car Harry noticed Lupin was looking much better and seemed that he finally had bought some decent robes.

During the car drive to the Burrow, Harry was getting feedback of what was going on with the Order of Phoenix. The only main thing that occurred this summer was the change of headquarters. After the event at the Ministry of Magic, they decided it would be better to leave Twelve Grimmauld Place to Kreacher. Harry thought it was a good idea because he didn't see himself ever going to live in that house again. He found out that the headquarters were situated at an underground warehouse, but that was all they would tell him, Harry hoped that he could find out more from Ron later.

Harry shoved all his thoughts away and decided to look at the area around him, he noticed that the surrounding city landscape had changed into a more wizarding world, where streets were replaced with pathways and houses were scattered around where no mail man could find. Just then all the passengers jumped in surprise as the car made its way to the driveway of the Burrow. Even though Harry had seen the house more than once he still gaped at the most extraordinary home he had ever seen.

"We're here" replied Ginny. "Home Sweet Home" Ron said. As the car approached to a stop, Tonks opened the door and everyone followed. Just as Harry moved to open the trunk door, Lupin came over to help and in a whisper said "Harry, I need to speak to you ab-"suddenly Ginny came out of nowhere and brushed against his shoulder and interrupted "hey, do you want to play a game of Quidditch. Fred and George are at the house and are all ready getting the Quaffle and Bludger from the garden shed." Harry glanced at Lupin eagerly. "We'll continue this conversation later, Harry. Go have some fun, we all know you deserve it." he said. "Thanks Professor" Harry replied thankfully and turned running to join his friends when Lupin shouted "call me Remus or Mooney," "ok, Mooney" Harry shouted back.

Harry ran in eagerness to get on to his Firebolt, seemingly it was the first time in a long time that Harry had ever gone on to this broom. The time was when Professor Umbridge from the Ministry of Magic had invaded into Hogwarts as the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and made Harry's and the whole school's lives a living nightmare. As if her classes and demeanor wasn't bad enough, she had a life time ban placed over Harry, Fred and George from ever playing Quidditch again. But she met her end with a herd of centaurs dragging her into the dark center of the Forbidden Forest, then being driven out by Hogwarts students who wouldn't let her disappear without some hell. But as far as Harry knew the ban was lifted after her flight from school.

The Quidditch game was a game for the ages, one where even Merlin himself would be proud of. It was a game where everyone's skill and flaw was displayed. The players included George, Fred, Ron, Ginny, Bill, Charlie, Harry, and even Tonks. As expected Hermione was sitting outside reading a book Transfiguration Over the Years inventively. Ron was the keeper, Bill was the chaser, Fred was the beater, and Harry as the infamous seeker. The opposition was Charlie as the keeper, Tonks as the chaser, George as the beater, and Ginny in the seeker position.

The game was electrifying Fred and George were blocking the bludger every which way and Bill and Tonks kept capturing and recapturing the quaffle from each other. On the other end, Ron stood between the conjured up goal posts and started boasting about himself after he became overly confident after helping Gryffindor win the Quidditch cup last year. But the person that stood out the most was Charlie and the way he kept blocking Bill's flying quaffles in lightening speed. One incident that Harry can't keep out of his head was the time Charlie came out of nowhere and at the neck of time, acrobatically pulled into a dive and managed to catch the quaffle without falling off his broom. But the game was determined by the finding of the snitch; while Ginny was watching Fred and George show off, Harry spotted a hint of gold above her head. Harry as fast as rocket sped across the air and caught the snitch without any competition. After the exhausting game, Charlie and George got on her for showing no desire to win.

Just as the game finished Mrs. Weasley called them inside for dinner. Harry couldn't help but feel as though the he missed another opportunity to talk to Lupin but that feeling went away when he saw the dinner table. Foods from all Harry's favorite food groups were present from drumsticks to pie to stuffing. Harry sat between Ron and Hermione as he approached the dinner table. "Wow! Mom you out did yourself this time," said Bill as he walked into the kitchen. "Molly, you sure you don't need my help?" Tonks asked. "No, no it's quite all right dear" Mrs. Weasley said remembering Tonks' clumsiness.

After dinner Ron and Harry played chess and every time Harry thought he had the upper hand, Ron would do something even cleverer to win. The twins were upstairs fulfilling some orders they had received, while Ginny and Hermione were watching Harry and Ron play and discussing what Ron called "rubbish girl talk." "Come on Harry do something with that knight" Ron exclaimed, but it was too late he missed his chance, now Ron just destroyed Harry's queen. Harry looked with disgust at his players and started cursing at himself under his breath when he was interrupted by Lupin. "Harry, can I have a word with you?" "Sure Mooney, it doesn't look like I'll beat Ron anyway," Harry answered.

Harry strode across the floor and joined Lupin in the empty living room where they could freely speak. "I don't know how to say this so I'm just going to come out and say it. I wanted to talk to you about the Ministry meeting about Sirius because I know that you are invited. I just wanted to let you know that I'll understand if you don't want to be there." Lupin said as if he had practiced saying this the whole summer. "Well, at first I thought it was a joke but if they're going to clear Sirius's name then I want to be there." Harry replied. "Then I guess I'll see you there. I myself don't know what it's about but with Dumbledore there I guess it can't be that bad." Lupin said. "Thanks Mooney, was that all you wanted to talk about?" "Yes and I just wanted to see how you were, you know, after Sirius's death. I know that it's been difficult for me, but I can't imagine how it's been for you." Lupin said sincerely. "I'm fine," Harry said staring at the floor avoiding Lupin's eyes. Actually, that was beyond the truth, he was having nightmares of his godfather falling through the veil all summer. And no matter what anyone told him he knew that it was his fault that Sirius was gone. Then he looked at the clock and realized that it was late. "I should probably go to sleep, it's late," Harry said trying to avoid talking about Sirius any further. When he went upstairs Harry saw that everyone was in their bedrooms asleep and Ron was all ready snoring like a bull. As Harry slipped into bed he knew that whatever happened, this was going to be a long and difficult year.
