Disclaimer: I don't own any of JK's characters. Blah blah. I wish I did because that would be awesome.

Authors Notes: ok so there's a lot more Harry in this chapter. No romance yet but it's coming up. Probably in the next chapter if I don't get carried away again. Thanx.

Now on to the story...

Two weeks later found Harry Potter on his birthday at eleven pm, sitting on his stairs with his trunk and Hedwigs cage at his feet. The snowy white bird had been sent out to meet him at Grimmald Place earlier in the day. There was a rigid rap on the door and Harry bolted over to open it. Standing in the threshold was Remus Lupin, Mad eye Moody, Tonks, Arthur Weasly, Kingsley Shaklebolt, and three other men who Harry didn't recognize.

"Hiya Harry," exclaimed Tonks.

"Hi," was all he managed to get out in his excitement.

"Best get inside before the neighbors see," added Moody.

As the very strange group stepped inside of the immaculate house, Tonks tripped on the oriental rug and knocked over the coat stand by the door.

"Ooops."

"Be careful, we don't want anyone to know we're here," whispered Remus.

But it was to late the crash had awoken the slumbering Dursley's, and there were Earth shuddering thumps as the massive forms of Vernon and Dudley moved down the stairs. The sight was really rather amusing to the group of wizards standing in the hallway. Coming down the stairs clad in blue and white poka-dotted pajamas was Vernon Dursley clutching a Tennis racket in his left hand, with his wife and son cowering behind him.

"What are those freaks doing in my house boy!" yelled Vernon.

"We've come to pick Harry up Mr. Dursley," stated Remus Lupin calmly.

"Well take him and get out before the neighbors see you!"

"We were just on our way."

With that Vernon retreated followed by a shaking Dudley and scowling Petunia, who was no doubt worried about the mess Tonks had made in her beautiful entryway. Changing the subject Arthur got down to business.

"Well, all packed Harry?"

"Yeah, I've gotten everything. How are we getting there?" asked Harry

He hoped to God he didn't have to go by broomstick again, he loved to fly more than anything but with Mad eye Moody leading them it was quite a miserable experience.

"We've got a portkey," said Remus. "Moody has been reinstated as head auror so he can authorize whatever he wants, including portkeys and Fudge will never know. We're also kind of 'working' for him. We're supposed to be his assistants, but mainly it's just an excuse for us to conduct order business."

"Great, I was afraid I'd have to fly," said Harry sounding very relieved.

"No!" said Tonks glaring at Moody. "That won't be happening again."

"Let's get going," said Kingsley. "We don't want to linger for too long."

"Good idea," replied Moody as he pulled out a ballpoint pen from his robe.

"Everyone touch it now, Weasley grab Potters trunk would you?"

After Harry's trunk and Hedwig's cage had been shrunk everyone proceeded to touch the pen and Harry gripping his firebolt tightly felt the familiar sensation of a tugging behind his navel. They landed in the front hall of Grimald Place and as always Tonks awoke Mrs. Black by knocking over the massive umbrella stand. There were shouts of 'mudblood' and 'filth of my loins' as she screamed, but Harry had tuned them out when he saw a tall scraggly man with long black hair run up and attempt to shut the curtains with Remus and Arthur.

"Bloody Hell, shut up you filthy old hag!" Sirius Black shouted at his mother's portrait, but suddenly stopped as he realized who was standing there.

Authors Notes: Ok well my hands hurt from writing this story to much while at school and now typing it up so I'm going to stop for now but hey I put up a whole bunch of chapters for ya'll.
