Chapter one

The dream

It was blistering July 31. Harry was up in his room with his window open . He heard Dudley stamping up the stairs of number 4 Privet Drive. Harry knew he couldn't avoid his cousin this time. The steps sounding like a heard of elephant rather than a single elephant witch would mean that his cousin wasn't on his way to play his new video game Dudley was definitely on his way to Harry's door.

Just then Dudley threw open the door and said, "My mom wants you downstairs now" (Dudley whose frame was wider than ever Dudley has been scared of Harry ever since they were attacked by Dementors in the alley way) Harry could tell by looking at the face of his cousin that Dudley had done every thing possible to get out of coming upstairs, but had been forced to by his parents.

"Okay" said Harry in a depressed voice.

Harry stood up and Dudley ran down stairs punching the air. As soon as Harry heard that Dudley was down stairs he layed back down and fell asleep. He was dreaming of the day in the Department of Mystery when Sirius fell through the veil. It replayed in his mind a number of times. it fade away he was in a dark room with a fire place burning and a person on the floor. Then the person moved, she seemed to be in pain.

Then Harry said in a snake like voice "You failed me again Belitrix. Why should I not kill you?"

"Because I could get him for you my lord" said Bellatrix.

"How Bella?" said the snake like voice.

"Wait it is Potter."

Just then, Harry's Uncle Vernon stormed up the stairs yelling ,"Potter."

Harry snapped awake he looked at the door and stood up.

Uncle Vernon open the door and said, "When we ask you to come down stairs you come down!"

"Yes, sir" said Harry.

"Now, get down stairs" said Vernon.

When Harry got down stairs his Aunt said "What took you so long?"

"I was writing a letter" said Harry after a few seconds. I don't care if Aunt Petunia believes me thought Harry guiltily.

"To who?" said his cousin.

"None of your business" said Harry and Dudley stood up and clenched his fist. Harry grabbed his wand and Dudley sat down. Harry turned to his aunt "What did you want?" he grumbled through his teeth.

"One of your friend's is on the phone" she said in disgust.

"Oh" said Harry questioningly. He had not spoken to anyone except the Dursley's since he had left the train station. Harry walked up to the phone and said hello and it was Hemione.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY Harry" she said

"Thank you" said Harry in a unhappy voice

"What is wrong" asked Hermione with deep concern for her friend.

"what's wrong , what's wrong said Harry his voice getting louder and angrier. and watched Sirus die that's what's wrong" said Harry and he slamming the phone down. Harry was now in a very bad mood He stormed around the corner he was tripped by Dudley's new friend David who laughed, so did the rest of the boys . Harry wasn't in the mood for little Diddy-Kins and his friends. His friends must have arrived while he was on the phone. Then Harry reached in side his pocket and was going to pull out his wand but Dudley ran out the front door with his friends on his heels. Harry stormed up the stairs and lay down on his bed. More grumpily than he had been last year when he hadn't received any info from Hermione or Ron for half the summer.

An hour later, the door bell rang. Harry heard his Uncle grumbling as Vernon , opened the door. For a few minutes there was no noise all of a sudden there was a sharp knock on Harry's door. Harry, how had been facing the wall where the quidditch poster hung, turned over to face the door. Another knock, more urgent this time, brought Harry to a seated position. The door swung open. Harry looked at the intruder to see Hermione standing there smiling.
