it is a quiet summer evening in Surrey. Harry Potter is in his bedroom looking at the picture book that Hagrid gave him at the end of his first year at Hogwarts; he looks at the picture of him as a baby with his parents, then turns the page to look at a picture of him with his closest friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger; he then hears his owl Hedwig chirping and hooting in her cage.]

Harry: I can't let you out, Hedwig. I'm not allowed to use magic outside of school. [Hedwig nibbles at her lock, squawking loudly] Besides, if Uncle Vernon--

"Awe the poor owl" Pandora pouted

Vernon: [angrily from downstairs] Harry Potter!

"This can't be good" Remus sighed "honestly I don't even know what to think anymore" he rubbed his face.

Harry: [glances downstairs then looks at Hedwig before closing his book and going downstairs] Now you've done it.
[In the kitchen, Petunia is working on a cake as Harry enters.]

"Don't blame the owl their not supposed to be cooped up in a cage for days at a time let alone months" James scolded.

Petunia: He's in there, Vernon.
[Harry enters the living room, where Uncle Vernon is getting Dudley dressed up.]

"Long neck Giraffe looking ass" Marlene snarled causing Mia to choke on her own saliva "looks like your not the only one to make Mia choke Mattheo" Draco snorted "EXCUSE ME" all the past Gen males yelled Mia through a pillow at Draco.

Vernon: I'm warning you. If you can't control that bloody bird, it'll have to go.

Harry: But she's bored. If I could only let her out for... an hour or two.

Vernon: [chuckles] So you can send secret messages to your freaky little friends? No, sir.

"We are not freaky" Ron scoffed "more like creepy" Mia whispered.

Harry: But I haven't had any messages from any of my friends. Not one. All summer.

"Before anyone says anything my friends did write me" Harry quickly spoke.

Dudley: Who would want to be friends with you even your own sister left and didn't come back. [bumps Harry harshly]

"He got you there Potter" Barty snorted Regulus elbowed him in the ribs.

Vernon: I should think you'd be a little more grateful. We've raised you since you a were a baby, given you the food off our table, even let you have Dudley's second bedroom, purely out of the goodness of our hearts just thankful we ain't got the other one anymore [he grunted]

"You're telling me they had a second room and both of my grand babies slept it a filthy cubbard" Euphemia seethed glaring at Dumbledore.

Petunia: [to Dudley] Not now, bumpkins. It's for when the Masons arrive.

Vernon: Which should be any minute. [motions for his family to come into the living room] Now, let's go over our schedule once again, shall we? Petunia, when the Masons arrive, you will be...?

Petunia: In the lounge, waiting to welcome them graciously to our home.

Vernon: Good. And, Dudley, you will be...?

Dudley: I'll be waiting to open the door.

"You're kidding right" Sirius laughed "are they actually practicing" Marlene cackled "muggles seem to not be the best company" Orion grunted "could have told you that one grandpa" Mia sighed.

Vernon: Excellent. [the three of them turn to Harry with scornful looks] And you...?

Harry: I'll be in my bedroom, making no noise and pretending that I don't exist.

The hall minus the future gen obviously looked completely dumbfounded.

Vernon: Too right you will. With any luck, this could well be the day I make the biggest deal of my career, and you will not mess it up.

"I hope someone kills him" Barty Groans "well actually fath-Zander zip it" Mia finished then removed her hand from Alexzanders mouth.
