Harry Potter And The Time Of His Life!
Harry watched the platform disappear as the train swept round the corner. He opened the window and sighed. Looking at all his belongings. The train stopped at another station 'Bates Droop' before the train started again Hedwig flew into the train through the window. She perched herself on his arm and ruffled her feathers importantly as if she deserved praise. Harry stroked her and opened the letter at the same time:
Dear Harry
As you know I am your legal guardian now and I was going to meet you at Hogsmede. However the circumstances have changed and I will meet you at 'Bates Droop' instead.
Sirius Black
Xxx
Harry gasped. He grabbed his things and ran to the doors that had started to close. He furiously pressed the button for the door to open. It did and he jumped of the train with his feather light trunk and Hedwig on his arm.
Harry looked around no one was on the platform. He walked out onto the muggle platform and saw a man running towards him.
"SIRIUS!!" He said merrily as he has scooped up into his guardian's arms.
"Call me Sirius or dad" was his reply "Either is fine!"
Harry followed Sirius to his black and silver motorbike. He knew it too well.
"How is Buckbeak?" Harry asked him "Did the ministry let you keep him?"
"Yes they did and he's at home." Sirius started the bike it roared into life.
They said nothing to each other on the journey there was nothing to say. Harry was excited to be away from the Dursleys and Sirius was glad to be free, not hidden and not living on lots of mouldy bread and other strange foods like that.
Sirius's house was on the outside of town. To the center and to the 'Hogsmede' train station was five minuites walk. The house was gorgeous it was small and cottage like with thatched roof and a wonky floor and ceiling. It was Tudor style and Sirius had to duck down to get through the tiny wooden door with its small thin metal letter hole and small peep window. Flower boxes were under all the windows and all the flowers were in full bloom. There was an arch with a gate no doubt leading to the back garden. A small shack was called the 'Bike Shed' and this is where Sirius kept his bike.
"Lets go in" he said to Harry "It's your house too!"
"You don't know how glad I am to be away from the Dursleys!" said Harry as he entered the door.
The hall was like the outside except they had lots of normal wizarding things, like the clock that the Weasley's had and lots of moving pictures.
"What happens if muggles look in the windows won't they see the moving pictures?" asked Harry
"No it's bewitched to look different!" said Sirius. "Want to see your room? It's on the top floor with a lovely view of the back garden!"
"Definitely!" was Harry's reply. This was one of the things Harry had been looking forward to seeing his room and seeing Sirius. They climbed up lots of wonky stairs and came to a solid wall.
"Alohamora" said Sirius as he tapped the wall. A door appeared and opened.
"Huh?" said Harry looking confused and amazed.
"Oh it's an invisible door!" said Sirius casually.
"Cool!!!" said Harry smugly "I could put that to good use!!" Sirius laughed and walked down the stairs "I'll be down in the kitchen if you need me." Harry walked into the room it was great. It had a four poster bed in the corner and a massive window with the view of the garden. The garden was lovely too. It had a pool and a massive arena for flying broomsticks in. Sirius had told him earlier that the arena was invisible to the muggle eye! Harry unpacked his things into the oak cupboard and tried to sort his hair out in the mirror.
"You look fine you silly thing." Said the mirror. Harry smiled.
"You talk like the one in Diagon Ally."
"I am the one from Diagon Ally. Sirius down there bought me for you."
"Oh that was nice of him." Said Harry.
"eye it was."
Harry looked at the blank clock on the wall.
"Whats that?" he asked the mirror.
"It's one 'o' those clocks you program" it said.
