Chapter 1

A 16 year old boy with messy, black hair and shimmering emerald-green eyes that always seemed to amaze everyone, is sitting on the train that is heading for his school. Of course – it's not any ordinary train, or an ordinary school for that matter. The school is Hogwarts, the train? The Hogwarts Express.

The boy is sitting in a compartment with 3 of his friends. There were two girls and two boys in this compartment including the messy, black haired boy. The red-head girl sitting next to him turned her body to face him and proclaimed, "Oh my gosh Harry! Can you believe it? We are actually on our way back to Hogwarts! We will be in the same year too! I'm so excited!"

Harry saw that his girlfriend was indeed very excited. And he should be too right? Not quite. You see, even though Harry stopped Voldemort from getting inside Hogwarts last year (in this school in fact) Harry still always feel guilty about his headmaster's death. Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore died a nobleman's death, to save the ones he loved most. It had been a hard thing for everyone to comprehend. But the horror hit Harry the worst.

It is a surprise that Harry James Potter was not in serious depression, but somehow (as always) he defeated all odds and carried on his life seemingly as normal. This was a way to tell. He never wanted anyone feeling sad on his account, so he gave his girlfriend the biggest and lightest smile he could manage, and replied, "Yeah Ginny! This year is gonna be awesome!"

Ginny was unsure of his complete honesty, and he felt worried in case she saw what was troubling him. If she did though, she did not show it, but turned away from him to look at her brother who was sitting opposite her. "What ARE you doing to poor Hermione, Ron? You look like you are eating her for dinner!" Ginny laughed at herself whilst Ron turned to the famous 'Weasley Red' which his whole family are known for doing when blushing or angry. Ginny herself did this as well seeing how she was a Weasley.

Ron broke his snog with Hermione and turned to his sister. If looks could kill, Ginny would die one thousand times. Hermione, seeing her action with Ron was over, tried to put her bushy hair into a suitable bun, but evidently failing, so just picked up the latest book she was reading and carried on from where she was.

The Hogwarts ride was peaceful with some chatter and some games of wizard's chess, but Harry had a strange feeling that something bad was going to happen any minute. What he didn't realise was… he was right. Suddenly, an hour after the train pulled away from Kings Cross Station, the train lurched at a stop, sending students and possessions alike flying everywhere.

They had stopped in the middle of a forest area, and figures in black cloaks and white masks came forward from all angles brandishing wands. There was one figure however, who was not wearing a mask. His face was the palest of white and his ruby eyes bore into anyone who caught his gaze. It was Voldemort himself.
