Summary: Harry finds a book in the library and wakes up a Slytherin; can he find his way back to Gryffindor?
Harry was bored, of course, so would anyone else who had spent his or her summer at Hogwarts virtually alone. At first summer at Hogwarts, without the Dursley's had seemed like such a great idea, however it wasn't. Secret passages had been explored and homework had been completed. Order members ran in and out, but they never had time to stop and talk. Harry had so much time to himself, in fact all of this free time gave him time to think and brood upon the past, present, and future.
Harry reflected back to his first year. All the way back to the sorting ceremony. How would have things turned out if that day on the train he had accepted Malfoy's offer at friendship? How would things have been if he had been sorted into Slytherin? There were so many possibilities.
Harry shivered. Why was he thinking these things? He told himself not to worry. After all the start of term was tomorrow. Ron and Hermione would be back and he'd be so busy he wouldn't have time to think.
Harry got up and replaced the books he had been skimming through; that's when he came across an ordinary book. He took it from the shelf and examined it. The book had no cover and no writing on the spine, but other than that there was nothing significant about the book at all. But for some reason Harry felt drawn to the book, as if it were calling his name. He now had the sudden urge to read the book. He immediately sat down in a chair and began to read it.
He flipped open the book and found words written only on one page, they weren't English either. The book was written in Latin. Harry read the words out loud.
"Admitto mi ambulo fero alium sulcum."
Suddenly Harry felt extremely sleepy. He decided best not to fall asleep in the library so he placed the book where he had found it and began to walk back towards the Gryffindor Common Room. The farther he walked the sleepier he became. Finally, whilst walking up a staircase Harry passed out from exhaustion.
A/N: "Admitto mi ambulo fero alium sulcum." Is my pathetic attempt at Latin for: "Let me walk along the other path." I am a poor excuse of a Latin student.
