It was the day before Harry's 16th birthday, and he was cooped up in his room for telling the Dursely's friends that his wand was more than a toy. Thankfully, they left not wanting to spend time around a household with a mental kid in it. He decided to write to the Order and ask if he could come over yet. His letter read:

Hey Mr. Moody!

Has the Order been going smoothly? Well, I just got in trouble for scaring some of the Dursely's friends away by saying my wand was real. They probobly just thought I was mental or something. Anyways, it's almost my birthday, and I was wondering if I could come to the Order. You did say that after my birthday, I could. Can't I just go two days early? Pretty pretty please? Ok, if I don't get an answer soon, I'm just going to go myself. Bye bye!

Harry

It looked ok. He tied the letter to Hedwig's leg and said, "The usual. Ok, this is the last time I'm going to send a letter there. And you know the drill, if you are about to be attacked, scratch the upper left corner. Bye!"

Harry's response didn't come. Finally, at 11, he decided to go. He got out his broomstick and trunk. He took his invisibility cloak out and put it on. After checking that the Dursely's were asleep, he silently opened his window and flew away. It felt so good to be flying again, after not being able to fly because of his suspention of the Quiddinch team. He was just approaching London when he looked at his watch. 12 AM. Cool, he was 16!

He landed on the sidewalk and #12, Grimmauld Place appeared. He knocked, and no answer. He decided that everybody was probobly just asleep, so he whispered, "Alohomora!"

He opened the door, and he saw the entrance hall was a lot cleaner than last Christmas. He slowly walked up the stairs. He creeped up to his and Ron's room and opened the door, and saw Ron unconscious in the corner, and a Death Eater frantically searching through the drawers. Harry immediately reached for his wand, but by the time he could say, "Stupefy!" the Death Eater had Disapperated.

Harry started running aroung the house, looking for anybody to help Ron, but nobody else was around. Harry was about to go to the attic to see if Kreatcher was up there, but he suddenly collapsed in the hallway. The last thing he saw before loosing consciousness was a new head on the wall...
