Harry
Potter glanced up at the clock in the Dursleys living room, and smiled to
himself. In one hour, Harry would be at last leaving to Kings Cross Station.
This had definitely been one of his worst summers yet; mainly because of the
fact he hadn't been able to spend half of it with the Weasleys, as he had now
gotten quite used to. There had been nothing to distract him from his thoughts
and memories from the year before. The tri-wizard tournament, Cedric Diggorys
murder, lord Voldemort returning, Mad –Eye moody changing into Barty crouch Jr.
… and the coming year, for which he had no idea what to expect. And then there
was his cousin Dudley, who had been having regular tantrums when not being
allowed to eat all he liked, which was now often. Harry really couldn't see
much difference in Dudley's weight, but kept he lips zipped, as he needed a
ride to Kings Cross station.
An
hour later harry heard his uncle yell " Boy, get down to the car, now!" from
downstairs. He grabbed his luggage, picked up Hedwigs cage, and ran down the
stairs, eager to get back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Harry and his uncle were silent during the
trip to Kings Cross station, both occupied in their own thoughts. Harry
wondered what changes there would be at Hogwarts now Voldemort had made his return,
who the new DADA teacher was, and hoped this year wouldn't be like the last.
Uncle
Vernon stopped the car and Harry hopped out, and then glanced around. Neither
Ron nor Hermione were anywhere in sight. He walked through the barrier to
platform 9 ¾, and went to the carriage that they normally sat in to wait for
them. Outside the window, the other students were saying good-bye to their
parents. A few kids and adults were crying, dreading what the dark lords next
plans would be.
After
a few minutes, harry looked up as the door to the carriage open to reveal, to Harry's
dismay, Draco Malfoy. He had his two henchmen, Crabbe and goyle, one on each
side of him. To harry surprise, Malfoy walked through with out saying anything,
but looked at harry and gave him his trademark smirk as he left. What's up with
him? Harry thought curiously.
A
couple of minutes later, the door opened once more. In came Ron and Ginny both
looking shocked, and Ginny close to tears.
Harry
leapt up. "What's wrong?" he asked anxiously. "Didn't you hear?" asked Ron his
voice shaking slightly "Hermione's missing!"
Thousands
of miles away, Lord Voldemort, along with his servant Wormtail, stood in the
Riddle House in the town of Little Hangleton. Nagini, Voldemorts snake lay on
the carpet. She hissed something up to her master "yes, yes" Voldemort answered
evilly "She, along with the Weasley when I get him, will be perfect bait to
catch Potter" He chuckled quietly. " Now Wormtail, Wormtail, Wormtail, I will
tell you this once, and once only. Here is what I want you to do…."
