With owls constantly swooping in to deliver messages to Harry - first expelling him from Hogwarts, then telling him to stay put while things get sorted out - he explains the [dementor] attack to [Vernon] and [Petunia]. Petunia, though, betrays that she knows more about magic than Harry thinks, and when Vernon tries to kick him out of the house, she instead allows him to stay.

Harry, now stuck in his room, quickly writes notes to Ron, Hermione, and Sirius, and sends them off rudely with Hedwig before rolling over to fall asleep.

For three days Harry waits in his bedroom, hearing nothing and wondering about where Hedwig is, and what will happen with his upcoming hearing at the [Ministry of Magic].

[Vernon] shows up to tell Harry that he, [Petunia], and [Dudley] are leaving and locking him into his bedroom. He listens as they leave, and then lies miserably in his room in the dark, waiting for nothing in particular.

Unexpectedly the door to Harry's bedroom opens, and though he's suspicious at first, he soon finds Moody, Lupin, and Tonks in his hallway, and follows them to the kitchen in disbelief. There he finds a large number of wizards, all come to escort him away from Privet Drive, and after being warned by Moody not to discuss Voldemort, runs back upstairs to quickly pack.

Tonks escorts Harry to his bedroom to help him pack things up. They talk briefly about her being a Metamorphmagus and an [Auror], and then head back downstairs to prepare to depart.

Back in the kitchen, Moody [Disillusions] Harry and the group gathers together, spots their signal, and takes off.

Harry and his group escort take off to fly to [London], with Moody in the lead. Despite the cold air and Moody's attempts to double back and throw off any pursuers, the group finally lands in a square. There Moody thrusts a piece of paper into Harry's hands, identifying their location as Grimmauld Place, in [London].
