Harry Potter And The Revenge Of The Dark Lord
"Harry! Wake up, breakfast!"
Although Ron Weasley was yelling for him to wake up, Harry Potter could faintly remember the dream of just that night. He had been playing the wizard game of Quiditch. He was flying on a broomstick sixty feet in the air dodging bludgers and looking for the golden snitch. He was just about to scoop it up when he woke to the strangely high-pitched yell of his best friend.
"Come on Harry, Waffles!"
"Aww, Ron! I was having the best dream in over a week", Harry said sleepily, pulling on his pants.
As Harry slowly worked his way down the long, curvy, and slightly uneven staircase he glanced into some of the various rooms of the Burrow. In one room he saw the Weasley twins, Fred and George, working on their prized Canary Custards which when eaten will momentarily turn you into a large yellow bird. In another he saw the younger Ginny Weasley who secretly admired Harry. Then in the next room he saw Percy Weasley doing a report for the Ministry of Magic.
Once Harry reached the kitchen he was greeted by Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, the kind and generous people who let Harry stay with them over the summer. He glanced at the table where he saw Ron gobbling down three pieces of bacon and wolfing down his waffles.
"Mo'nin 'Arry" Ron said behind a biscuit. "We got our books list. Waffle?" "Thanks Ron." Harry said as he opened his letter.
Dear Mr. Potter For your sixth year you will need: The Standard Book of Spells Year Six The Big Book of Hexes and Curses Apparating, A Guide
"Gee, only three books?" Ron said observing his own letter and helping himself to seconds. "Harry, we're going to learn how to apparate! Think about it Harry, we can go anywhere. We could apparate to classes, and dinner, and."
"How many times do I need to tell you? You can't apparate in Hogwarts!" This statement came from Harry's other best friend, Hermione Granger.
"Morning Hermione, Fred, George, Percy, Ginny." Greeted Mrs. Weasley. "Good Morning Mrs. Weasley. And thanks again for letting me stay over the summer." At this Ron rolled his eyes and muttered, "Mental, that one."
After a hearty breakfast everyone but Percy went to Diagon Ally via floo powder. "Think about it Harry, no more floo powder; we can apparate to Diagon Ally!" "Ron", Hermione started, "By the time we master apparation and get to legally apparate, we will be out of school."
"Hey look, the new Nimbus 2005 is out!" At this Ron dropped to his knees and started begging for this broomstick.
"No Ronald!" Mrs. Weasley said firmly. "You already have a Nimbus 2004!" "But mum, this has an all new version of the cushioning charm, and due to the shape of the hand carved mahogany handle I can easily fly without strain on my wrists and it has an all new patented seatbelt charm. Did I mention it was safe?"
Harry casually shoved a large amount of gold into Ron's hands and marched off to purchase his books.
"Harry, have I ever told you that you're my best friend in the whole entire."
"Yes Ron, you told me five minutes ago."
"Oh yeah. You wanna race when we get back to the Burrow?"
"Sure."
After the race between Harry and Ron, (Harry won) they marched out of the large clearing and up the small hill towards the tall, creaky house. Once inside, Hermione somehow talked them into helping her pack her bags alphabetically. After this task, Percy called them in to listen to his report on why goblins should not be represented in the Ministry of Magic.
After a fairly large dinner of corn and steak, Harry, Ron, and Hermione slowly worked their way up the staircase. Harry and Ron packed their bags and got into bed. Harry could barely sleep when he knew he was going back to Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry.
Platform 9 ¾ was packed like a can of sardines. Ron with his large feet kept yelling, "OW! Hey, watch where you're going!" Needless to say, Ron was cradling his feet once on the train. As Harry and Ron were playing Exploding Snap a small, light gray owl pecked on the window, struggling to keep up with the speeding train. Hermione sped over to retrieve the small owl. She came back holding a letter in one hand and the owl in the other.
"It's for you Harry. It's From Sirius."
Harry took the letter from Hermione and read it out loud.
Dear Harry, In an earlier letter I told you that you would be seeing me soon. Dumbledore, being a good friend, gave me the job of Defense Against The Dark Arts Teacher. At this point, Ron started yelling, "WHOOOOOO, HOOOOOO!!!" I will see you at school. -Sirius
Instead of continuing the game of Exploding Snap, they talked about how fun and interesting this experience would be. By the time the lunch cart rolled around, they were thinking of doing extra credit for once.
"I can't believe it", Harry exclaimed.
"Maybe he's here for a reason Harry." Hermione started. "You know, now that You-Know-Who has arisen."
"You're just paranoid." Ron said cramming a Pumpkin Pasty in his mouth. "You-Know-Who isn't going to mess with Harry when he and Dumbledore are there." Ron said, spraying bits of food on Hermione.
"Yeah mudblood, Weasleys right, the Dark Lord wouldn't want to mess with the all powerful Dumble-Dork!" Draco Malfoy had walked in with his two cronies, Crabbe and Goyle.
"Get out Malfoy!" Harry said angrily.
"I'm hurt Potter, I just came to tell you good luck, after all, your going to need it."
"What are you talking about?" snapped Harry.
"You don't know?" said Malfoy getting an evil grin on his face. "I thought you would be a little wiser now that the Dark Lord has arisen and gathered many followers."
Then Ron piped up, "Guess who the new Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher is."
"What do I care?"
"It's Harry's godfather."
"And who's that?"
"Sirius Black."
At this point Malfoy looked flabbergasted.
"Liar." He said swiftly.
"Read it and weep." Said Ron handing Malfoy the letter. It took him a surprisingly long time to read the three lines of the letter.
"Well, even your godfather can't defeat the Dark Lord."
"He can defeat you though." Said Ron maliciously.
Malfoy's bottom lip was quivering as they exited the train to Hogwarts.
"Did you see the look on his face! Priceless! Where's that Colin Creevy kid when you need him!" Ron was still cracking up even when they were in the horseless carriages.
"Ok, Ron. It wasn't that funny. Neville is staring. SHUT UP ALREADY!!!"
Hermione's yell succeeded in shutting Ron up just as they got to the giant castle that was Hogwarts.
"Gee Hermione, everyone in here looks astonished. Maybe you shouldn't yell so much."
"Honestly Ron, why do I even try."
Once in the Great Hall, Harry, Ron, and Hermione started franticly looking for Sirius. He was nowhere to be found; yet strangely his scar was burning with anxiety. Harry postponed his looking during the Sorting Ceremony. After Janice Fanzinbar was sorted into Hufflepuff the doors of the Great Hall creaked as a tall thin woman with large frizzy hair walked up to the teachers table. She took a seat next to Dumbledore and Severus Snape. Dumbledore announced this woman to be the new Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher known as Snuffles Black. Only Harry, Ron, Hermione and Dumbledore knew that she was Sirius Black. Harry wanted to run up to "her" and ask "her" questions but knew he would make an ass out of himself if he did. Harry noticed that Sirius was arguing with Snape during the Sorting.
Once the Sorting and the feast were finished, Harry, along with Ron and Hermione walked over to greet "her".
"Hi guys!" Sirius said in a disguised high-pitched voice. "What have you been up to?"
All they could do was answer his questions and ask him some. They ended up talking so long that Filch the caretaker had to shoo them out because it was so late.
