Chapter 1: The Letter

Harry was lying on his bed at number 4 Pivet Drive reading the letter he had received at the end of the term for the fifteenth time. He had been waiting for what was to happen so long that he was beginning to question if the letter was even real. Hagrid had given him the letter just before he got on the train, but he was still wondering if the promise with in the letter could ever really happen.

The letter in question read…

Harry,
We know you do not wish to stay with your Aunt and Uncle, but we must insist that you stay at the residence for at least two weeks. At the end of these two weeks I along with three others will come to fetch you and bring you to a new residence and possibly new guardians. I a wait to see you in two weeks.

Until then,
Albus Dumbledore

Every time he read the letter Harry asked himself the same questions. Why was Dumbledore coming? Who was coming with him? Who will be my new guardians? It had now been two weeks and he was sure that something had happened with their plan and he was not going to be free from this prison. Sadden by the though of not leaving until September 1 Harry never noticed the headlights that pulled into the driveway or the four silhouettes that had gotten out of the car and were now walking through the rain to the door.
