[In the clouds during sunset, we see the Warner Bros. Pictures shield moving towards the screen and rotates out of the shot. Then, the film's title in golden letters slowly zooms through the camera afterward; it is a quiet summer evening in Surrey. are in their bedroom looking at the picture book that gave them at the end of their first year at Hogwarts; they look at the picture of them as babies with their parents, then turns the page to look at a picture of them with their closest friends, and ; they then hear their owls Hedwig and Ludwig chirping and hooting in their cages.]
Harry: We can't let you out. We're not allowed to use magic outside of school and we can't risk Juniper using her powers in the house. [Hedwig nibbles at her lock, squawking loudly] Besides, if Uncle Vernon–
Vernon: [angrily from downstairs] Potters!
Juniper: [glances downstairs then looks at the owls before closing the book and going downstairs] Now you've done it.
[In the kitchen, Petunia is working on a cake as they enter.]
Petunia: He's in there, Vernon.
[They enter the living room, where Uncle Vernon is getting Dudley dressed up.]
Vernon: I'm warning you. If you can't control those bloody birds, they'll have to go.
Harry: But they're bored. If I could only let them out for... an hour or two.
Vernon: [chuckles] So you can send secret messages to your freaky little friends? No, sir.
Juniper: But we haven't had any messages from any of our friends. Not one. All summer.
"Um. Excuse me?" Lily says, slowly turning her head to where Hermione and the Weasley siblings were sitting.
"It's okay Mom." Harry says. "You'll find the truth out soon."
Dudley: Who would want to be friends with you? [bumps Harry harshly]
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.
Juniper: We slept in a cupboard for the first eleven years of our life. [she says blandly]
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.
Vernon: Excellent. [the three of them turn to Harry and Juniper with scornful looks] And you two...?
Harry and Juniper: We'll be in our bedroom, making no noise and pretending that we don't exist.
Vernon: oo 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.
A/N: Yippeeeeeeee first chapter of year 2. Who's excited?
