Harry James Potter watched as his watch's second hand slowly hit the 12. He was 17. Harry's green eyes began to sparkle with excitement. He could leave the Dursley's now. Dumbledore had said when he turned 17 he could leave the Dursley's. He said 17, and that was when Harry was planning on leaving. Harry grabbed his already packed trunk and his empty owl cage. Whiskers, his cat, sat on the floor meowing softly for Harry to pick him up.
"Fine, I'll bring you with," said Harry. Whiskers seemed to understand and jumped on top of Harry's trunk. Taking the steps two at a time Harry ran into the hallway. Harry was inches from the door when he heard a noise.
"Harry, didn't think you would leave so soon," said his good friends Tonks.
"Tonks," said Harry as he turned around. "And Remus, Moody, Hagrid, Fred, George, and Ron. Nice to see you."
"Nice to see you too."
"Yes, you're looking quite nice."
"Have a good summer?"
"What are you doing here?" asked Harry with a groan.
"Simple," replied Moody as his magic eye whirled around in it's socket. "Stopping you from leaving."
"And why can't you leave?" said Tonks pretending to imitate what Harry was about to say. "Because it's dangerous outside. Only 30 Death Eaters are waiting for you."
Harry turned and ran to a window looking outside. 30 or so Death Eaters were standing in his front yard looking bored.
"As soon as you step foot out of your Aunt's House you will be fresh meat," said Remus.
"Then how did you get in?" asked Harry.
"Portkey," replied Ron. Ron walked over and hugged Harry slightly.
"How's Ginny," whispered Harry into Ron's ear.
"Good," replied Ron. "She's over you." Harry sighed a breath of relief. Ginny and Harry had dated in Harry's sixth year. When Harry broke up with her Ginny had been very upset.
"So Harry man," said Fred. "Why don't we get you out of here?"
"I'm all for it," replied Harry with a wide grin.
"Wouldn't you like to say bye to your family though?" asked Tonks.
"No," said Harry as he laughed and waited for instructions to leave. Tonks sighed and glared at Harry.
"You know that as soon as you leave, your family can and will be killed?" asked Tonks in reply.
The color slowly drained a little in Harry's face. Even though he hated them, they were still family. Harry looked out the window and saw the Death Eaters standing around waiting for Harry to leave.
"So they are not here to kill me then," said Harry. The other wizards standing there looked at each other but not Harry.
"No, they are here to kill the Dursleys," said George. Harry stomped his foot and then suddenly kicked the wall.
"Harry calm down," said Remus. Remus glared at Tonks and then looked back at Harry. "We'll bring them with."
"What!" exclaimed Ron, George, and Fred.
"Final decision," said Moody. "I'll bring them to the Quarters in a few seconds."
Moody pulled out his wand from his front pocket and moved it around and muttered some words under his breath. Harry heard a scream from upstairs and assumed it was his Aunt.
"Grab this," said Remus pulling out an old pop can. Everyone reached out and put a finger on the can. Harry took one last look to make sure he had his other hand on his trunk. "3-2-1....."
