A/N: I wasn't planning on uploading two chapters...but you guys deserved it!

Harry's P.O.V.

I look out my window. 'Look at that! It's my sixteenth birthday and no one bothers to send me a letter! I mean usually I've gotten something already. Ok so I'm gonna be abandoned by them now?'

I look at my clock, it reads 4:00pm. Knock, knock... "Harry?" I hear Aunt Petunia say, "yeah?" I reply.

" Come out here"

I walk out of my room and see my stern aunt. "Look, don't tell anyone but since you're my sister's son and my nephew... Happy Birthday. Sixteen is a special year." She handed me a gift and left. Though what she had said was said sternly, you could tell she meant it. 'I guess she doesn't really hate me.' I thought for if she did why would I live here? I opened my gift, inside was a Ziploc bag full of cookies.

I counted.

Sixteen chocolate chip cookies.

One for each birthday I had had, though I've only lived here for fifteen years. Then I head a tapping sound on my window.

I saw Pig with a letter. "Hey what ya got there?" I said getting Ron's letter.

Harry,
Happy Sixteenth Birthday! Yay! Sorry I didn't give a gift but just a letter this year. Well, actually this letter is the gift! You think the Dursleys will let you come over today for the rest of the summer? Don't worry, we're already on our way anyways. After this is sent we're gonna drive there...actually Fred and George are driving and mum's gonna talk to your folks. So pack up! Seeya soon... don't worry I think the twins may have more candy for your cousin...hehe that was funny.

Well, gotta go Harry.
-Ron

I read the letter.

Looked at Pig who somehow got hold of a cookie and is sharing it with Hedwig who just arrived. I put the rest back in the bag and started to pack.

When I was barely done, I heard the doorbell ring.

I walked over to the staircase, I saw Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon walk to the door and open it. Then I saw Mrs.Weasley; she was dressed in modern muggle attire. I was impressed.

"Hullo, Mr. & Mrs. Dursley?" Mrs. Weasley asked politely.

"yes?" Uncle Vernon said

"Oh...come in. come in." Aunt Petunia said.

As I was peeking out, Mrs. Weasley caught my eye and winked.

I then noticed that the door was left a jar.

When the Dursleys and Mrs. Weasley went to the living room; Fred, George, and Ron came in and closed the door.

"Hey Harry," they chorused...a little too loudly, for Dudley opened his door and saw them coming up the stairs.

"Hey Dudley...want some candy?" Fred asked.

Dudley remembering the incident a few summers ago, wide eyed went back into his room.

"Terrified of wizards isn't he Harry?" George asked. "Yeah...especially of your candy." I said. The twins gave a mischievous smile and Ron sniggered.

Back in my room we started packing up and I let Hedwig and Pig out with directions to go to the Burrow. Silently we brought my stuff out into the car.

"Whoa..." I said, "Is this magical too?"

"No, sadly it's only borrowed. From Hermione's parents." Ron replied.

"Okay..." I said wondering how and why the Grangers got involved. We put my stuff into the SUV and they got inside. Then one of the twins, don't know which one, put the alarm on once I had gotten back inside. Hearing this I hurried back upstairs.

I heard the Dursleys and Mrs. Weasley come out from the living room.

"O my..." Mrs. Weasley said. Then she looked back to the Dursleys and said,

"I said that a parent from school, but not from your son's." Dudley had come down the stairs when the alarm went off, so I saw a trio of terrified looks from the Dursleys.

"you...you come from that school where they learn foolish magic." Uncle Vernon asked, or more like he spat it.

"yes. And I was wondering if you wouldn't mind if Harry stayed with us for the rest of the summer. We'd bring him to school, no need to worry." Mrs. Weasley replied quite hesitantly.

"I knew your name sounded familiar. And your hair. Red as that lot who came two years ago." Mrs. Weasley blushed.

And the reminder of that incident made Dudley quite nervous.

"So could... Harry come...?"

"it'll be his choice—" Aunt Petunia was cut off by Uncle Vernon. "Absobloodylutely not! He will not go off there, all that magic will just...just..."

"he has behaved so far..."

"What is wrong with you Petunia? You've all of a sudden gone soft to this nephew of yours? Remember he's one of them! He's a freak like your sister!"

you could tell that Aunt Petunia was hurt. She stiffened and said, " Vernon! You have no right to call my sister names! I do, she's my sister. We came from the same parents... we have the same blood, and you insult her! Insult her and you not only insult me but your son! For she is related to your son! Think of that!" she looked at Mrs. Weasley, "oh, Harry can go with you."

Then she stormed off to her room. Dudley and his father stood there stupefied. And as Aunt Petunia passed me she said, "Go on boy, go with your friends." I hurried downstairs and I went out with Mrs. Weasley into the car.
