CHAPTER 1: Mid Summer's Night and Day
It was July 12, Harry Potter of number 4 Privet Drive was currently fast asleep in his room. His clock was reading 2:35 A.M. He wasn't sleeping for long however. It was exactly 2:40 when an enormous moving truck pulled into number 5, right next door. Harry shot up in bed. He had heard a loud bang. He looked around his dark room for a sign of an intruder. None of his relatives, his aunt Petunia, uncle Vernon, or large cousin, Dudley, had awoken. He could see light through his window. He looked out. Next door he saw the moving truck, but for some strange reason, he felt he was the only person in the neighborhood who had heard or seen the truck. He glanced at the advertisement on the trucks left side. It read 'Magi's Magical Moving Service.' Harry could not believe his eyes, wizards or witches were moving in next door. Most people would not really take the sign on the side of the truck seriously, but Harry Potter was not a 'normal person, in fact he was a wizard. He was a fifteen year old wizard, whose parents had been murdered by the most evil wizard, Lord Voldemort. Voldemort had turned his wand on Harry after his parents were killed, but the spell had backfired and Voldemort fled , almost lifeless. Harry had faced Voldemort several more times since that deadly night almost sixteen years ago.
Only a few weeks ago, Harry had come face to face with Voldemort again. Harry's godfather, Sirius Black, had been killed by one of Voldemort's followers Bellatrix Lestrange. Bellatrix had been Sirius's own cousin! Harry was still having dreams about Sirius dying every night.
Harry peered lower through the window to see four people jump down from the truck. He couldn't see their faces that great because it was dark, but he could tell that there was a man , a woman, a little boy, and a girl that looked to be about Harry's age. The man was holding two sleeping bags and the girl had a buch of pillows in her hand. They all went into the house. Harry supposed that they were leaving the unpacking until the next day.
The next morning Harry was stirred from sleep by the sound of his owl, Hedwig, and another owl pecking at his window. He let both owls in. First he untied Hedwig's note which was rather thick. He opened it up. It read:
Dear Harry,
How are you doing? I suspect the Dursleys are treating you better this summer. Harry, Sirius's death was not your fault! You should be expecting a letter from the ministry soon. Members of the 'Order' will be at your house on the fifteenth of July to bring you to a place where you will spend the rest of your summer, not the same place as last year.
Hoping you are well,
Albus Dumbledore
Harry looked at the other owl. This was the ministry owl that Dumbledore had mentioned. 'What have I done wrong now', Harry though to himself.
He took the letter off of the owl.
Dear Mr. Potter,
We are very sorry for the death of your godfather, Sirius Black. He has been cleared of all charges and has been awarded 1000,000 galleons, which has been deposited into your vault.
**Due to your last school year- you may use magic as long as it isn't used in front of muggles, No other students have been granted this privilege.**
Enclosed is your late godfather's will, and your OWL(exam) results.
Sincerely,
Matilda Hopkirk
Harry eagerly opened his OWL results they read: O=outstanding, E=exceeds expectations, A=acceptable, P=poor, RC=must repeat course next year.
OWL's are awarded for each exam and its practical (for every A or better
Potions Exam-O, Practical-O Dark Arts-O, Practical-O
Transfiguration-E, Practical-O Divination-A, Practical-P
Care Magical Creatures-O, Practical-O Astronomy-A, Practical-P
Herbology-E Practical-E Charms-O, Practical-E
OWLs earned: 14
Harry could not believe his eyes. He had got at least one OWL in every class, and he had gotten 8 Outstandings! He had gotten two O's on Potions, that was what Snape required to get into NEWT level potions. His hopes to be an auror were still alive and with marks like these!
The letter went on- Mr. Potter congratulations on your OWL marks. You have been named sixth year Prefect of Gryffindor, along with Ms. Hermione Granger, due to your marks.

Harry then opened up the folded paper that said 'last will and testament of Sirius Black . Witnessed by Albus Dumbledore and Remus Lupin.'

Harry couldn't believe he was so rich! He had tears in his eyes though. He pulled off an envelope that was attached to the will. Inside was the keys to the Black Vault, his suite in the Leaky Cauldron, and a large key to the house in Hogsmeade. Also inside was the chain and locket mentioned in Sirius's will. It was beautiful. Inside the locket was a picture of his parents on their wedding day. Harry's face contorted with rage, Voldemort had taken so much from him, but Voldemort would pay, Harry would make sure of that.
