Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or anything related to it. I do own a rather scrumptious cupcake but I seem to have eaten it. It was yummy!
Many things happened during the summer prior to Harry Potter's sixth year of education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Some were not worth mentioning, others were not worth mentioning, but will be anyways, and lastly, some more important things may not even be here, but that's okay.
Something that probably wasn't important in the long run, but will, for entirely no reason, be mentioned in this story is the fact that Ronald Weasely, Harry Potter's best friend, got a computer. It may sound completely irrelevant, and it just might be, but for all purposes Ron and Harry couldn't be happier.
It was probably because Harry had no contact with the wizarding world in the summer, making it the time of year he despised. But, after a phone call from Mr. Weasely, who had, surprisingly enough, figured out how to use a telephone, that left Harry elated, he knew this year would be different.
The conversation went somewhat like this:
"Hello? Is Harry there?" asked a voice on the other end.
Luckily, it had been Harry who had picked up. "Speaking. May I ask who is calling?"
"It's me, Arthur Weasely."
"Mr. Weasely? But, you aren't shouting."
"You sound surprised."
"I am. How did you find out how to use make a phone call?"
"Work," Mr. Weasely said simply. Mr. Weasely worked with muggle artifacts at the Ministry, so it was understandable that he would eventually discover the correct use of a telephone.
"That isn't why I called," he continued, "I got a computer."
"Really?"
"Yeah, but I don't know how to set it up."
"Oh, right." Harry didn't pretend to be an expert in computers. He had only recently been allowed to begin using the Durselys'. He wasn't sure how he had managed it, to be honest, but that didn't really matter.
After many other phone calls of this nature in order to set up all of the features of a home computer (including instant messenger, something that Harry insisted was necessary), Harry finally started feeling like he wasn't isolated.

magic101: Anyone there?
hgranger returned from away at 11:53:47 P.M.
hgranger: Yes.
magic101: Hey, Hermione, how are you?
Hermione had obviously had a computer before Harry had decided to use instant messenger as a form of communication, with her being muggleborn and all. She agreed that it was quicker than owls, but she also lectured Ron and Harry in a lengthy note about the dangers of hackers and other things on the internet. The boys really couldn't care less.
hgranger: I've been better. My parents are going to be really mad if they know that I'm up this late.

magic101: As of five seconds ago.
eriojn: woreks for mew
hgranger: Did you bring us here for a reason, or do you just like to listen to us argue?
magic101: As funny as it is, I do actually want to talk to you guys about something. And, no, Ron, before you ask, it has nothing to do with my nonexistent love life.

hgranger: That wasn't a burn. And besides, you can't say burn, it just doesn't work coming from you. Also, you spelled it wrong.
magic101: He spells everything wrong.
hgranger: Oh, right, I knew that.
magic101: So, finally, I wanted to tell you that we have to be ready for anything from the Order. I hear that they are prepared to get us soon.

magic101: I just used the adjective cute. I vow never to use that word again.
eriojn: that wobn't lasdt two daysh
magic101: What are you saying? That I feel the need to use descriptive words such as cute and other fluffy words like that on a regular basis?
magic101: I must vow to never use "fluffy" again either.

Harry signed off and turned off the computer. The moon cast eerie shadows over the room as the glow from the monitor faded. Pushing the chair, he tiptoed up the stairs, carefully avoiding the one that creaked. He could hear Dudley's loud snores clearly as he opened the door to his room, assuring him that he had been successful in not waking anyone up.
Hedwig clacked her beak expectantly as Harry turned on the light by his bed. Sighing softly, he opened a jar of owl treats and put a few in her cage before climbing into bed.
"Night, Hedwig," he whispered, turning out the light.
He closed his eyes, only hoping that the Order would pick him up soon.
They did so sooner than he expected.
A/N: I hope it was okay. I know that it is short, but the introductory chapters are supposed to be short, right? See, I knew you'd back me up! Please review!
