"No! Stupefy!" a woman's voice called out as red sparks flew from her wand and missed the target.
"Stupid girl. Don't you know that no simple spell can work on me? Avarda Kedavra!" cried out the voice of Voldermort.
Harry Potter's eyes flew open and he was covered in a cold sweat. He look outside his window and saw five owls, all bearing letters, outside of it. He took the letters and opened up each one at a time. The first one that he read was bearing the crest of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Dear Mr. Potter,
Due to recent difficulties, Hogwart's students will be returning to school at various times. To those who receive this letter will be leaving tomorrow at 10 p.m. This should give you enough time to buy your new school supplies.
Sincerely, Albus Dumbledore

Harry grabbed the next letter and when he opened it he knew immediately who it was from.
Harry,
Harry smiled recognizing Hagrid's scrawl.
Don't yeh worry 'bout anything. Remember Hogwarts is the safest place for yeh. I got yeh a present for the birthday. Can' wait for tomorrow.
Hagrid
Harry opened up the small package that Hagrid sent, which was filled with a small locket. He read the front of it and it said 'Lily'. When he opened it he saw a picture of his mum and dad.
Next Harry noticed Pig, his best friend Ron's owl, flying around and he snatched the letter from him.
Harry,
The Ministry is loaning us a couple of cars, so at 9:00 p.m. we're coming to pick you up. Hermionie is coming to. She said she had a great time in Bulgaria and got you a great present.
Ron
Ron's package was some jokes and tricks that Ron had helped Fred and George come up with. One was dedicated to Cedric and was called 'Cedric's Chocolate Snaps- edible Exploding Snaps'.
Harry's own owl, Hedwig also was bearing a letter which he opened next.
Harry!
How are you doing? Have you started to study for the O.W.L.S. yet? Victor says "Hi" and asked me to give you this. Guess what? I'm a prefect. See you tomorrow at 9.
Hermionie
Harry opened his gift and saw that Hermionie and Victor had chipped in to not only get him a subscription to Daily Planet but also to a Quidditch magazine, Seeker, Keepers, Beaters, and Chasers.
Finally an unknown owl came up too him and Harry had a hope beyond all hopes on who it was from.
Harry,
I will be at your house tomorrow at 9 in the morning. I'm coming with you to Diagon Alley, as well as spending the year at Hogwarts with you. Be ready at 9.
Sirius
Sirius had sent Harry a brand new watch that had a setting to see where Sirius, Remus, and Harry himself were. Harry driffted into a peaceful sleep, anxious to see Sirius and his friends as well as leave the Dursleys a month earlier.
*~*~*~*~*
The next morning Harry ran downstairs to the discomfort of his Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia. He quickly ate his grapefruit quarter before running to the refrigerator.
"Going to get my school supplies with my godfather." Harry said as he grabbed some meat and ran out nearly colliding with a large, black dog. "Sorry Sirius." Harry spoke placing the food in front of him.
After Sirius had eaten, he and Harry set off to Diagon Alley. After walking for quite a while, Harry called for the Knight Bus to take them the rest of the way. When they got off they quickly traveled through the Leaky Cauldron to the heart of Diagon Alley. After a quick stop at Gringorts, Harry bought his schoolbooks and more potion ingredients. They then took a taxi back to the Dursleys and Harry packed all off his school supplies. He then had a while to wait for the Weasleys and Hermionie to come.
"Harry, what are you doing with your school supplies down here?" demanded Uncle Vernon.
"School is starting a month earlier this year." Harry quickly replied.
Sirius came down the stairs causing Dudley to announce that there was a dog in the house.
"Ahh! Whose is that?" shrieked Aunt Petunia.
"He's mine. He'll be coming to school with me. It was a present from my godfather. I do not think that Sirius would be happy if he knew that I had to return his present." Harry replied trying to keep a straight face.
They sat in silence while waiting for Ron, his family, and Hermionie. When they came Ron and Hermionie helped Harry take his trunk to the car. Sirius jumped in and Mrs. Weasley jumped slightly at the sight of him.
"That's, that's…" she started to cry out.
"Harry's dog." Ron quickly replied trying to keep everyone calm.
"It's okay Ron. If I can't trust your family, who can I trust. This is an innocent man, all the kids except for Ginny know him as Padfoot. Sirius it's safe to transform. This is my godfather, Sirius Black."
"How do we know him, Harry?" whispered Fred and George, Ron's twin older brothers.
"The Maurader's Map. It was Lupin, Peter, bloody rat, Sirius, and my dad. They were Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs respectivly "
Sirius changed back into his dog form as the group approached King's Cross and just as they were getting ready to enter the platform, a voice broke through.
"Excuse me. My name is Hope. How do you get to Platform 9 and ¾?" a young girl with black hair asked.
"You go through the barrier between nine and ten." Hermionie replied.
After she went through, Harry, Ron, and Hermionie followed and went to their regular compartment.
"Oh hi. Do you mind if I sit with you?" asked Hope
"Hi, sit down. Questions: Where are you from, what year are you, what house are you in?" asked Harry.
"I'm from New York, entering my fifth year at the Gryffindor dorm. My parents were transferred from the United States M.O.M. to this one. They're aurors." Hope answered.
"But why were you transferred here?"
"My parents have friends in the ministry that told them that Voldermort had returned. So they asked that they could come here in order to help with the problem."
"But I thought Fudge-" Hermionie started.
"Other people."
"Well, well, well. It's Potty, the Weasel, the Mudblood, and now a bloody Yank. Great." Malfoy said from the door of their compartment.
"Get out of here Malfoy. We don't want to deal with you." Said Harry as he, Ron, Hermionie, and a hesitant Hope pulled out their wands.
"Expelliarmus!" yelled Malfoy taking all four wands, "now what will you do without your precious wands?"
"This Malfoy. Freeze." Hope said and blew on her hand sending out light blue sparks.
As Malfoy froze in his step, Harry grabbed the wands from Malfoy and gave them to their proper owners. They all watched in amazement as Hope snapped her fingers and Malfoy got his motion back. With a glance of horror he ran off.
"Wow! That was amazing. How did you ever learn to do that?" questioned Hermionie.
"At Blackwood, my old school, we learned how to do magic without our wands. We needed some defense if Voldermort or someone like him showed up." Hope said as a cat as black as her hair and owl jumped into her lap.
Harry unlike the others were not upset about the use of Voldermort's name decided to comment, "You have a cat and an owl."
"It's just as strange as having a dog and an owl, if not stranger." She replied smiling.
The train ride was over soon after that. As they got off Professor McGonagal called over Hope and Harry.
"Professor Dumbledore wants to see you in his office with your cat and dog. Don't ask me why because I do not know." She told them looking dumbfounded.
As they were walking and turned the corner, Harry saw a person who he recognized well.
"Professor Lupin? Are you teaching here again?" Harry asked.
"Not that I know of. Dumbledore might have me if they can't find a DADA teacher by the start of term. I'm mainly here to help him watch out. Chocolate Frogs." Lupin said as they were at the entrance to Dumbledore's office, letting in Harry and Hope.
"Thank you Remus. Harry, Hope before school starts I'm sure you have questions that you want answered. Sirius, Anyka please transform, you can tell them more than I can." Dumbledore said.
Sirius and Hope's cat, Anyka, transformed into their human forms.
"Hello Anyka," Sirius said quietly.
"Sirius Black! You are finally got out of Azkaban. Took you long enough." Anyka replied.
"Anyka was the only person who believed that I was innocent. No one else would listen to me." Sirius directed to Harry and Hope.
"Sirius, we should really tell them about the night Harry's parents and Hope's mother…"
"Harry knows what happened to his parents."
"But Hope is in the dark about her mother. I only know what happened after Arabella's death. You have to tell what happened earlier."
"Fine. Hope, your mother, Arabella Figg, was a spy for us. A good one mind you. She found out that Voldermort was on to the Potters. She told us but hopped she could distract him for a while but the spell was off. Voldermort killed her."
"She did Stupefy. I saw it in my dream I had." Harry quickly added.
"That's right. So when I got there I transfigured Arabella into me so everyone would think I died. Only the Order knew the truth. Anyway, Harry the reason Voldermort was after you was because your divination teacher, Professor Trewanly, made a prediction that the Potter child would bring Voldermort's demise." Anyka finished up.
Harry was still taking this all in when Lupin came back and took them to the dinning hall to eat. For a month the four friends, along with Sirius and Anyka would go to Hogsmeade or explore around the school. The day before school officially began, they went into the Whomping Willow to talk with Lupin.
"It's safe to transform." Lupin said.
"Are we going to tell them about the Order?" Anyka asked catching sight of Lupin's medallion.
"Yes. Our third year at Hogwarts, Voldermort reached power. James, Lily, Sirius, Anyka, Arabella, and I, under Dumbledore's care, formed a group called the Order of the Phoenix. To give you an idea on what we learned, by the end of that year we knew grade seven spells. Only one ever joined us later."
"Snape. Dumbledore wouldn't tell me why. Do you guys know?" Harry pondered.
"If I remember correctly than yes. Snape hung out with a group of Slytherins, the Lestranges, Rossier, Wilkie, Avery, and a girl, Jen. One day Avery set these Feries, opposite of Furies, on Lily. Then when Voldermort started to kill wizards Snape left them." Sirius answered.
"Just by looking at you all it seems like the Order is back. I would bet my life that there is a horrible group of Slytherins this year. You must be prepared for any surprises that might occur. We should go on back now." Anyka replied.
"I'm going to fly for a while. I haven't been on the Firebolt since school let out." Harry said before the group left.
Sirius and Anyka transformed as Harry summoned his broom. A few minutes into his flight another broom flew into him.
"Move it Potter. I'm flying here." Malfoy yelled out flying past him.
"What the hell is your problem, Malfoy?" Harry said zooming back in front of him.
"What's my problem? You and all of your worthless Gryffindor pals."
"Why are you here? You aren't important or in danger considering the fact your dad is a Death Eater."
"All I know is that I got the stupid letter in the mail telling me to come. My dad was furious with Dumbledore."
"Hey, that's the kid who was on the train with us. Who is he?" asked Hope.
"Draco Malfoy. He's a Slytherin." replied Hermionie.
With a look of understanding Hope raised her arms into the air. As she brought them down, the brooms also eased towards the ground.
"I think we need to see Dumbledore." Hope said. "All of us."
