I don't own Harry Potter and I don't make a profit off this story.

Harry was still in Sirius' arms when he heard him shout. He was also painfully aware of all the eyes that were on them. He pulled himself out of Sirius' arms and turned to Vernon. He felt a fresh wave of anger hit. He felt the remnants of heat in his fingers increasing again.

A guard pushed his way through the Weasleys so he could get to middle of the scene. It was the same guard that Harry met the first time, but of course, no one knew that. He took in his surroundings before he spoke.

"What is going on here?"

"I'm just tying to pick up my nephew. But the ungrateful brat is refusing to come with me. His headmaster wrote me that the boy was to stay with my family and me."

"My headmaster has no say in where I live during the summer! My godfather has custody of me. I've been living with him for nearly a year. I just want to go home."

Sirius stooped down to Harry's level and whispered in his ear.

"Send a letter to Minerva and explain to her what's going on. She won't let Dumbledore interfere like this. She lives on western border of Kent and will be able to help us."

Harry quickly dug out a piece of parchment and wrote the note. He was so glad that Hedwig was a fast flyer. Going to Kent from London was going to take no time. Unfortunately, the guard saw Hedwig fly off and asked why the bird was let loose.

"She was in the cage for a long time and needed to spread her wings. She knows how to get home so I'm not worried she'll get lost."

"Alright. Now I want to get to the bottom of this without having to call the Yard. Tell me exactly what happened before I got here. And before you start speaking at once let the black-haired kid speak first."

He told the guard everything. He didn't have to lie once. He just left out the magic parts.

Then the guard took Vernon's story, which was the complete opposite of what Harry said. Some of things he said made no sense whatsoever. At least his rambling on how Harry was a compulsive liar gave Hedwig time to get to Kent. It was nearly half an hour later when McGonagall arrived. Harry heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her.

"I am Professor McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress of Harry's school. Harry contacted me that there was a dispute about who he lives with. I have the records of all my students and Harry's guardian is Mr. Sirius Black. That piece of lard over there has a restraining order to keep him away from Harry."

Harry's mouth gaped as she spoke. She was calling him Harry.

She knew that Dumbledore wanted Harry at the Dursleys but here she was saying the exact opposite of what Dumbledore wanted.

It seemed as though Harry found an ally within Dumbledore's inner circle.

Harry was pulled out of his thoughts by the guard.

"Well in that case, sir, you are to come with me." He took Vernon's beefy arm. "You three are free to go."

But unfortunately, Vernon wasn't done. He heaved his arm out of the guards grasp and lunged towards Harry.

"You're coming with me!" Spit came flying out of his mouth as he yelled. That was one sight Harry wasn't going to miss seeing every summer.

Sirius pulled Harry out of the way, as McGonagall put a trip jinx on Vernon so that he landed in a near by garbage bin. Her wand was in the sleeve of her old denim jacket so no one saw that she cast a spell.

Harry and the Weasley boys were all laughing at Vernon. His face was a puce color and catsup was in his hair. Ginny was fascinated by the way his face changed from dark red to purple and then back to red. She had never seen anything like it before.

The guard meanwhile was calling the police so that they could take Vernon down to the station. He never had a day like this before and hoped he never had one like it ever again. He went to the break room as soon as the police arrived. He really needed a vacation after dealing with Vernon Dursley.

After making statements Harry, Sirius, and McGonagall walked out to the parking lot in silence. They each had a matching smile on their faces. Dumbledore lost once again.

"Thank you Professor. If it weren't for you I would be stuck with the Dursleys again." He looked into her eyes to try to see what she thinking. He couldn't though.

"I was only doing what I should have done along time ago. I was there the day you were left at the Dursleys. I told Albus that they were Muggles of the worst sort. I tried to fight his decision but I backed down. When I heard what was going on at the Dursleys I was actually happy that you ran away.

"I tried to come see you but Albus made it impossible. I think many of us wanted to see you. I wasn't given any information about your life even though I tried. I don't think Albus trusted me enough not too tell you everything you needed to know."

"It's not your fault Professor. The headmaster was just doing what he thought was best. In doing so, he hurt a lot of people. Harry would still be there if he didn't recognize Remus in the park last summer."

"You were at Remus' last summer!" Harry looked a little guilty. "I should have known there was no way to keep that boy away from you. He was always finding ways to bend the rules when he was at Hogwarts.

"I best be going back to the school. I have to give that nosy headmaster a piece of my mind. I'll owl you later to tell you how it all went with him. It should be entertaining to know what he says." He knew he wasn't going to see that letter.

After saying their goodbyes, McGonagall Apparated to Hogwarts and the two boys climbed onto Sirius' motorcycle. McGonagall almost smiled when she saw Harry's excitement of the bike.

Ten minutes later McGonagall was in Dumbledore's office yelling. She never yelled at her boss like this before. Sure, they had their disagreements, but what friends don't?

"ALBUS, YOU HAVE GONE TOO FAR THIS TIME! YOU LEAVE HARRY ALONE. HE CAN LIVE ANY WHERE HE PLEASES. I TOLD YOU ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE. THE ENTIRE WIZENGAMOT BUT YOU AGREE THAT HARRY WILL BE MUCH BETTER OFF WITHOUT THE DURSLEY!" McGonagall took a breath and Dumbledore took this as a chance to say something.

"Minerva, will you calm down? Harry has to live where his mother's blood calls home. That is the only place that can offer him protection. Staying with Sirius will have consequences I don't want to see."

"What consequences? Is Harry being happy a consequence? No one will find them. Sirius has put up protection upon protection to keep Harry safe. Do you really doubt that Sirius is going to fail that boy? I don't doubt him one bit?" She said this in a low angry whisper. "He was hurt while living with the Dursleys; I won't let him be hurt anymore. Harry means too much to me. Lily's memory means too much to me."

Albus just sighed. He knew that he was beat. He only had to work harder to make sure Harry was protected. It was the one thing that he could not fail. He nodded to McGonagall and she left the office satisfied Dumbledore was going to back off from Harry's personal life.

Harry and Sirius walked into Grimmauld Place laughing as they took off their helmets. Sirius drove the long way home so Harry could enjoy the motorcycle. He refused to go in the air but they did enjoy the break neck speeds that Sirius forced out of the bike.

They could smell something burning in the kitchens. Remus was trying to cook. And like all other times it didn't turn out. Fortunately, Sirius was suspicious when Remus said that he didn't want to come to King's Cross with him to pick up Harry and decided to get hamburgers from a local burger place. Remus was grateful and disgruntled at the same time.

"Do you all have so little faith in me?" He glared at the bag is Harry's hands. "I thought you were going to let me cook Harry's homecoming meal."

"No, I have absolutely no faith in your cooking abilities but I like you anyways. Remus just get over the fact that you can't cook. You're un-teachable. Even Lily counted you as a lost cause. I think she gave up after you burnt pasta. That's the easiest thing to make."

"One of these days I will cook something right. It's bound to happen. I will never give up."

"Remus, the day that you make something edible and taste good; will be the day I willingly go in the Hogwarts dungeons completely starkers." Harry gave him a cheeky smile to show he wasn't being serious. "I just don't think that it's possible for you to cook. Besides, you have us to feed every few days."

They ate their dinner and mad small talk with each other. Then Harry asked something neither was expecting.

"Can I become an Animagus?"

A/N So, I had McGonagall yell at Dumbledore. Bet no one saw that coming. Well, maybe you did but I put it anyway

Thanks you all for reviewing. I never thought I would get so many for the first chapter alone. Please keep up the good reviews.
