On the Street of Privet Drive, all anyone would want to do is be out side in the nice, cool weather. All except one person. Harry Potter, soon to be 16, was in his room, laying on his bed and staring at the ceiling, thinking of what had happened last year in the Department of Mysteries. Thinking of how he had thought that his godfather, Sirius Black, was in trouble. Problem was, Sirius was in no danger. Voldemort had tricked Harry into the DOM to save his godfather.

As Harry thought about what had happened, he felt tears come to his eyes as he had only known his godfather for not even two years and now he was gone. Harry felt a pang of guilt as he thought of Remus Lupin, his ex-professor from his third year at Hogwarts. Remus and Sirius had been friends since their first year at Hogwarts. Harry had a feeling that Remus was taking Sirius' death harder then Harry was.

As Harry was about to go to the kitchen to get something to eat, he heard a 'tap tap' on his window. He turned to see his owl, Hedwig, carrying a letter. After he let her in, he grabbed the letter and opened it. It was from Remus Lupin.

Dear Harry,

How are you? Tomorrow morning, Tonks, and I are coming to get you to take you to headquarters' (you know where). Be ready at 10:00am. When we get there, me and you need to have a talk. See you tomorrow.

-Remus

Harry was so excited to be leaving the Dursley's to see his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. But his excitement fell when he thought about going to Grimmauld Place. That's where his Godfather used to live and he was scared that going back would bring back to many memories. He then decided to go downstairs to tell his aunt and uncle.

When Harry went downstairs, he saw Petunia, Vernon, and Dudley watching TV.

"Umm... Aunt Petunia, my teacher from Hog- I mean my school is coming to pick me up for the rest of the summer and I wont see you till next summer," said Harry, hoping they would let him go.

"GOOD RIDDANCE!" yelled Uncle Vernon, getting up and getting in Harry's face. " When will he be coming?"

"Tomorrow at 10:00 am," said Harry," I have to go and pack," said Harry, and as he left, he heard his uncle yell," He better not come like the last time your kind was here!"

Once Harry got back to his room, he wrote a letter to Remus.

Dear Remus,
My aunt and uncle said I could go. Please appearate into my room so you don't freak them out. See you and Tonks tomorrow. -Harry

After Harry sent out the started packing, excited about leaving, but not excited about going to Sirius', since he wasn't going to be there. Around 12:00 am, he decided to get some sleep, since he didn't want Mrs. Weasley getting worried that he wasn't getting enough sleep, which was true because he kept on having dreams about Sirius. Finally he fell asleep and into a nightmare.

Harry was walking down a dark corridor, and as he opened a door, he noticed that he was in the Department of Mysteries. Then he entered the room with the veil in it, and where Sirius had died, but the veil wasn't the only thing in there. Harry saw his godfather standing by the veil.

"Sirius..." whispered Harry, running down to him, but Sirius stopped him.

"You killed me, Harry..." said Sirius, in a deep voice.

"Sirius, I-I didn't mean to," said Harry, tears streaming down his face.

Then he heard two pops behind him. He turned to see who it was. It was his mother and father, staring menacingly at him.

"Harry, you killed all of us..." they both said together. Then Sirius and his parents disappeared in a flash of light.

"NOOOOOOOOO..." yelled Harry, as he slumped down onto the floor and started crying.

"HARRY, WAKE UP!"

Harry awoke with a start, sweat pouring down his face and his scar was burning. He then noticed that Remus and Tonks were there. They both looked extremely concerned. Remus looked much older, with dark circles under his eyes, and looked really tired. Tonks looked the same, just not as much as Remus. Then Harry noticed that he was on the floor.

"Harry, are you okay?" said Remus, helping Harry up and leading him to his bed.

Once Harry had caught his breath, he said "Yeah, I think." and when this didn't take the looks off of Remus and Tonks' faces, he said " I'll be fine, I just need to get some rest once we get to Grimmauld Place. When are we leaving?" asked Harry, feeling a lot better.

"In a few minutes, we are taking a portkey," said Tonks, right when Harry was going to ask how they were going to get there.

Minutes later, Remus announced that it was time to go. With the help of Remus, since he was still weak from the dream, Harry gathered all of his belongings and went to Tonks who was holding, what looked like an old shoe. As soon as they touched it, Harry felt a pull behind his navel and they were on their way to Grimmauld Place.
