Dumbledore Collects Harry

Harry Potter, waiting at the Dursleys' house, is surprised when Albus Dumbledore arrives to escort him to the Burrow. Dumbledore reveals that Sirius Black has left Harry everything, including number twelve, Grimmauld Place and the house-elf Kreacher. He tests Harry's ownership by ordering Kreacher to be silent, which works. Dumbledore also informs Harry that he has inherited Buckbeak the hippogriff. Before leaving, Dumbledore warns the Dursleys that Harry's magical protection will last only until his seventeenth birthday and asks them to allow him to return one last time. Harry and Dumbledore then Apparate away, beginning their journey.
