Chapter 1- The Arrival

Harry Potter was a strange boy. He was not like any ordinary child. He was in fact, a wizard fresh out his forth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He was now spending the summer with his aunt and uncle in the muggle world. Normally his things would have been locked away in the cupboard under the stairs when he walked through the door, but that all changed when Sirus Black showed up. He had sent Harry a letter telling him that something was terribly wrong. It also mentioned that he was coming to the muggle world to keep an eye on Harry. He did not tell his uncle this due to the fact that he might have tried to stop him from coming.

A loud tap startled Harry, who had been daydreaming about going back to Hogwarts, at his window. He looked out and noticed that it was Sirus and Buckbeak, the hippogriff he had rescued in his third year at Hogwarts, was there. He quickly sprang from the bed and flung open the window to allow Sirus to enter.

"Harry!" Sirus cried with joy. "It has been awhile since I saw you last. You have not changed a bit." Sirus said. Harry then noticed that a snow-white barn owl was on Buckbeak's back. It was his owl Hedwig. She had an envelope tied to her leg. Harry could faintly make out the sparkly green scroll of Professor Dumbledore. Harry quickly untied the letter and read it quietly to himself. His look of joy quickly left his face. "Harry!? What is wrong" Sirus asked. Harry looked at him then back down to the letter. Then he started to read it aloud.

"Harry,

I am sorry that I am the one to have to tell you this. Hogwarts will have to remain closed this year due to an inconvenience. The Ministry is working on it, but we do not know how long it will take. Sorry once again.

Sirus looked at Harry with a look of confusion and wonder. "Why would they have to close the school?" Sirus asked. Harry just stood there. He would have to stay in the muggle world, go to a muggle school and worst of all he would have to stay with the Dursleys. " I won't do it!" Harry yelled. " Won't do what? Sirus asked with a look of worry. " I won't stay here. I won't stay with these people." Harry tried to say calmly, but he failed. A pounding on the door diverted his attention. " Open this door boy." Uncle Vernon shouted.
