A/N This is my first Fanfic Hope you like it: BTW anything or anyone you recognize belongs to JK Rowling and any thing you don't belongs to me....bla bla bla..... you know the rest.

Chapter 1 ************** Threatened

...An icy chill went down Harry's back as Voldemort dragged Harry, by the neck of his robe, to the green fire. His wand lay in the dirt, where he had been so strongly stunned in the duel against Voldemort, who now seemed to be talking and laughing, but all Harry could hear was his fast heartbeats of fright, and his deep breathing as he tried as hard as he could to escape Voldemort's clutches. Knowing that in only a few seconds he would be thrown into the green fire, which would case death in a finger's touch.

Still thinking of what to do, Harry's thoughts swam around the fact that his scar wasn't hurting at all! Was this really Voldemort? In mid-thought he heard the same shrill laugh that killed his parents, and found himself in the air right above the green fire, inches away from Voldemort and his laugh. Without thinking Harry reached over and grabbed Voldemorts robes, and with all his might started forcing Voldemort into the green fire....peck, peck.

Harry had fallen out of bed, and was now laying on the floor, besides him stood Hedwig pecking on his leg along with some other owls. ''it was a dream'' harry said while rubbing his scar, even though it didn't hurt, and wondered why he was always haunted by a dream on his every birthday. Then he felt the same peck again, which had waken him up. ''Oh hi Hedwig''. Hedwig had been gone for 5 days, so harry took the heavy package from Hedwig's leg and put Hedwig carefully back into his cage along with the other owls, who all began to munch down on a dead rat one of them had brought.

He opened Hedwig's package first. It was from Sirius and it had very messy handwriting.

Dear Harry

Happy birthday (harry had almost forgotten he would be 15 in 10 minutes) Voldemort is surely back, but the strange thing is no one has heard of him since the night Diggory was killed. Old death eaters have been acting strangely, and they seem to be attending some meeting or something. Me and Lupin are working as spies for Dumbledore, Dumbledore's been busy all summer offering hands of friendship to giants and stuff and he's been trying to keep the school continuing, I'm pretty sure you will be going back to Hogwarts this year. I found your present in the forest, I think it might help.

From Sirius

Harry unwrapped the leaf like wrapping paper and out came another scrawly note along with the marauders map and a... spoon!!?? Harry read the note eagerly, wondering why in the world Sirius had given him a spoon.

Dear Harry

This is not a regular spoon. If there's an animagus around it will sparkle yellow. Oh and by the way if anything unusual happens, be sure to tell me.

Sirius

Pleased with his gift harry forgot all about the dream, and went over to open Ron's gift.

Dear Harry

Heres some food you asked for. My mom made it, and Dumbledore's finally given us permission to invite you over, I knew that old git would let you come over sooner or later. We'll be over tomorrow to pick you up, whether those muggles like it or not!

From Ron

Harry ripped open the brown paper wrapping starving, and took a bite of the first thing he saw. Pumpkin cake! Then he noticed the present Ron had given him, it was some of Fred and George's fake wands, harry giggled to himself as he thought about what would happen if he gave one of those to Dudley. Without another thought he went over to Hermiones gift.

Dear Harry

Guess what? I put Rita Skeeter's on a toy boat and put the boat into the ocean! Serves her right for making up all those lies. Any ways, I've got some candy from Krum, and I've decided to give you some. Hope the Dursley's aren't too bad, hope your well.

Hermione

Harry carefully took out the candy from Hermione's parcel, while finishing Ron's Pumpkin cake. Harry put all the opened gifts under his loose floorboard. Then he took out Hermiones gift. It was an album she had put together of her torturing Rita Skeeters. Harry had to stick his head under his pillow, so he wouldn't wake the Dursley's as he laughed at the photos. Afraid he might wake the Dursley's up harry put the album under his floorboard along with the other goodies.

Before opening the last 3 gifts he saw the owls wrestling over the dead mouse, so he let all of them outside, except Pig and Hedwig. Then he wrote a letter back to Ron saying to come pick him up, and he'd manage to talk the Dursley's into it. Then attaching the letter to pig, he let him go too.

Then Harry put the rest of his attention to the last 2 envelopes and parcel left and thought ,''hmmmmm.... Ones probably from Hagrid, then there's the school supply list, but whose the last one from?". He got to work on the first envelope which indeed was the regular school supplies list. Then he opened the parcel which turned out to be from Hagrid, which said:

Sorry, really busy, Happy birthday -Hagrid

Not knowing what Hagrid could be busy with he opened the small gift. It was a picture frame, handmade out of twigs, barely big enough to fit a picture inside. But Harry wasn't the least bit disappointed. Infact he got up and hung it on the wall right next to his bed. Then his mind flew back to the last envelope.

He slowly opened it, thinking who could have sent it? It only had 4 big words scribbled on it, which gave Harry the biggest urge to write to Sirius. it said, in a handwriting harry had never before seen ,''BE PREPARED TO DIE!!!''! And then Harry heard Dudleys broken alarm clock give a small ding. Harry had just turned 15 while reading a letter threatening him to die.

A/N yes, I know it started off bad with the usual birthday dream... But believe me it gets better. Please comment.

A/N *read and be amazed*

Chapter 2 ******* To the Burrow

All day Harry drooped around the house thinking of what he would do once he got to Ron's house, and how in the world the Weasleys would come to pick him up this time. At first he thought they would probably once again use floo powder, but Harry had known the Weasleys for 5 years and realized that after an incident like that they probably wouldn't risk it.

Then he thought maybe they would just apperate or maybe they charmed another car to fly. Maybe they would come through the sink faucet as liquid or maybe they would just transfigure into birds and land on his roof ? Harry then amused himself by sneaking up behind Dudley and saying a few magic words or putting on the invisibility cloak and start picking up things making them look as they flew.

Hour after hour Harry waited for the Weasleys dreaming . When they actually did arrive it was a bit of a disappointment because all they had done was borrow a real car from the ministry. But none the less Harry was overjoyed to see them. The Dursleys had acted just as Harry thought they would, before Mr. Weasley could say "Hello" his uncle Vernon had practically thrown him outside and kicked his stuff out to, angrily slamming the door, apparently mad because he had unblocked the fireplace for no good reason.

Mrs. Weasley greeted him warmly and Harry practically jumped into their car obviously glad to get away from the Dursleys. Once inside he noticed how much bigger the inside of the car was compared to a regular car and knew the ministry or Mr. Weasley had performed some magic on it.

"Hey Harry!" he was greeted by his best friend, Ron.

"Hi Ron, Fred, George, Ginny" He merrily said to the teens sitting with him.

"Hope the muggles didn't treat you too badly this time" said Fred

"Yeah, you should have introduced them to some of our inventions" said George (Fred's identical twin) with an evil grin.

" No, it wasn't that bad, your food packages really saved me though, thanks"

"No problem" said Ron

"so, who do u think the new DADA teacher is going to be this year?" said Ginny. Harry had forgotten that there was going to be a new DaDA teacher and replied with," no c lue"

"hope Snape doesn't get the job, that would be a real pain" said Ron

"yeah and who would want to make the slimy git happy by giving him the job after what he's done to us" said George.

Mr. Weasley broke into their conversation," you guys should be happy you even have Hogwarts to go to this year, that Cornelious Fudge tried shutting it down"

"oh yeah what happened"- Harry

" Well he would have succeeded but practically all of England that had attended Hogwarts held a protest, so he was forced not to and had to listen to Dumbledore's orders of sending invitations to the giants and dementers and so on to come on our side, Fudge simply did not want to believe the You Know Who was gaining power, I cant believe that old fool wouldn't believe Dumbledore, well any ways he made a deal with Dumbledore."- Mr. Weasley

" what kind of a deal" -Harry

"Dumbledore insisted that we put charms around all the local villages and schools etc. to inform them of signs of you know who. The deal was that if they heard from Dumbledore and destruction was being done they would keep those charms up, but if there was no sound what's so ever that you know who had gained power he would take off the charms"-Mr.Weasley

" Have they heard anything about Volde- you know who?" - Harry

" That's the strangest thing about it, we haven't heard anything since the night he killed Cedric Diggory--"

Ron seeing the look on Harry's face at the mention of Cedric Diggory quickly changed the subject by saying," anyway we don't have to worry about that all we have to worry about is to get past Snape this year and live to tell about it, You know maybe Hermione can brew us up a extra good sleeping potion which can have him sleeping for the rest of the semester"

And then they burst into a long conversation about who the new teacher would be and evil plans to get revenge on Snape.

"Maybe we can trip him into one of his own poisonous potions and then give him the antidote when its way too late" - Ron

" We shouldn't even give him the antidote" - George

" Yeah we should just watch him suffer and laugh at him"- Fred

"Besides me and Fred got an even better revenge plan on him for the end of the year"- George

" Really what is it" - harry

"not telling" - Fred

" come on you guys" - Ron and Ginny

"nope" both Fred and George

They spent some time bugging Fred and George, even Mrs. Weasley looked eager to know what they were going to do, but before they knew it they were back at the burrow. Harry wouldn't of realized that they were there if Mr. Weasley hadn't of mentioned it for when he stepped out of the car he couldn't believe his eyes, the Burrow which was once a shaggy old garage with a couple rooms added to it now looked like a medium sized mansion.

Then Harry looked over to Fred and George remembering the "small" gift he had gave them. They winked and Harry was glad the money had been gone to something useful. Harry walked in not believing his eyes, everything was shining and brand new looking that even the small pile of dirt in the corner looked sparkly c lean.

"Come on Harry, I'll help you take that to my room" - Ron said breaking Harry's daze

When Harry walked into Ron's room he felt as though someone had squished a Florida orange in his face. The whole room from the ceiling to the pillow cases in Ron's room was bright orange with , representing the color of Ron's favorite Quidditch team the Chudly Cannons . In the middle wall of the room "Chudley Cannons

" was painted with a few flying miniature broomsticks moving through the "C"s .

" So.......er............ do you like it?" Ron said once again breaking his daze.

" This is AMAZING" Said Harry making Ron blush.

A/N well, this chapter was a little dull. Eh, but its all a part of my master genius plan! *ahem*

A/N er... I sorda exaggerated on the laughing in this chapter, but it is pretty funny.

Chapter 3 ******** Pink teddy bears

The next week went by perfectly. The had delicious meals, played Quidditch, Tried some of Fred and George's new inventions and talked about the oncoming year. The next week Hermione came over and they still had a fun time ( with the exception of Hermione making them check their summer homework ). And before they knew it , it was the night before their trip to platform 9 3/4 .

The had gone to Diagon Alley a couple days before getting all their school things (including new dress robes for Ron), and had stopped by at the new store 'Aunt Annie's Magical Assortments and Gifts' where Ron had gotten something about the size of his palm but wouldn't show Harry, Fred, George, Hermione or Ginny what it was. The morning of there trip to Platform 9 3/4 Mrs. Weasley woke them up a little earlier , c learly not wanting to be late, they all sleepily ate their toast and traffic went by so smoothly in the ministry car Mr. Weasley had borrowed that they were half an hour early and the barrier had not yet opened.

Hermione, Ginny Mr. Weasley and Mrs. Weasley had gone searching for a snack shop where they could bring a little food to fulfill their hunger.

" **Yawn** cant believe were this early" - Ron

" Yeah, Ron, Harry stack your trunks over here so they don't get in everyone's way" said Fred as he pulled his trunk up against the wall

"k" said Harry

The train station had been very busy that day but thankfully their pets weren't making as much noise as usual they too seemed tired from the journey in the car.

" Ron, WHAT is THAT" said Fred and Harry was suddenly awoken for Ron had taken out what ever it was that he had gotten from 'Aunt Annie's Magical Assortments and Gifts'. George had suddenly made a grab for it, Ron just wasn't fast enough to pull it away and George had thrown it to Fred. It turned out to be a little pink bear.

George and Harry had burst out laughing as Fred made a cuddly voice and said, " oooooooh, its just so cute and cuddly and look when you push its tummy it says ' I love you' ". Ron who had so deeply blushed that he matched his hair was trying to grab it back yelling through clenched teeth," give it back!" .

Fred was just too fast for Ron and screamed " George catch" and threw it over to George who caught it. George now had pressed the bears tummy making it say " I love you" George then squeezed his face into a adoring smile and said in the same cuddly voice " oooh beary I love you too" . By now Ron had jumped on him and was now about to wrestle him to the floor when George blindly threw it to Harry.

Harry who was holding his side from laughing quickly wanting to join in the fun started running backwards trying to catch the bear which was now heading towards there stack of trunks. He absentmindedly then ran faster trying to catch it as if it was the snitch. The snitch idea went to far into his mind for then he leaped backwards trying to get the perfect catch when , KERBOOM. He had Crashed into someone who now looked as though they were now on the floor with the trunks fall over them.

" AAAAGHH" was the sound Harry heard as he knocked into the person which turned out judging by her voice was a girl. Fred and George came laughing over holding there stomachs saying " that was great Harry, he runs for the teddy, he dives for the teddy, he knocks over all our trunks onto a girl for the teddy" as they helped harry up. Ron had gone strait to the bear and shoved it so forcefully down his pocket it looked as though he would have pierced it.

Harry who had started rubbing the side of his cheek where a trunk had knocked into him when he remembered ' the girl', and he quickly spun around to see if she was all right. As though she could read his mind she said rather in an ruffly voice, " a little help down here". All four boys turned to her, Fred saying " oh yeah I forgot u were still there".

Harry quickly remembering that HE was the one who knocked her over quickly apologized," err........ sorry.. didn't see you" and he held out his hand to help pull her back up along with George. Ron spoke up still looking angry " how could you have seen it , you were to busy trying to catch MY personal property".

At this George quickly let go of the girls hand and even Harry's grip loosened and she went falling back to the floor as Harry, George and Fred laughed so hard that they had to make sure the leaned against the wall to prevent them selves from falling on the floor from a fit of laughter.

The girl still lying there on the floor with the trunks over her legs seemed to be getting a little annoyed by saying " err..... helllo...... remember me, I'm down here and I cant move"

Fred spoke up this time holding a stitch in his stomach tears falling down his cheeks" George help the girl up" George holding his stomach sliding down the wall replied " I can't I'm afraid that if I move I'm going to be hit by a heart attack". Harry who now seemed to have controlled his laughter after seeing the girl helpless on the floor and seeing Ron blush deeper than his hair color went over and grabbed the girls hand and pulled her up to her feet saying " errr......sorry 'bout that"

she replied saying " its OK" massaging the side of her leg .

Then Harry pushed their trunks to the side seeing how many people were getting annoyed by the fact that people would leave their trunks in the middle of their walking space. Harry trying to hold up a conversation with the girl for she was very pretty, she had mid-tan skin, dark chestnut hair that went down a little past her shoulder, deep hazel brown eyes and messy bangs. Harry hadn't seen anyone looking like her before and asked ," Your not from around here are you?"

This was the first time she actually looked at Harry in the eye and responded, "Nope" Harry still curious asked " So where are you from" She looked at him and raised her eye brow and said," well I've pretty much been around the whole world, you see my dad errr.........has a job which requires him to move around a lot so I've been transferring schools all across the world, but this is my first time in England, and this time I don't even know what school I'm going to yet." Harry amusingly said " oh wow, it must be really neat to go around the world"

she replied with a rather disappointed voice, " uh.... yeah I guess you can say that, well um I've got to go look for my platform.... nice meeting you" Harry who had been in rather a daze with her eyes was jerked out of his trance and said," yeah nice meeting you too" and she walked away, harry unrealizing he was in that 'daze' again and that Fred and George had been watching him the whole time came over and leaned their elbows onto each one of his shoulders.

Fred looking at Harry in an detective way asked him," Who was that any ways? Does she go to Hogwarts" Harry replied," Dunno, forgot to ask" George than said," She doesn't seem to have a trunk, looks like a muggle to me" Harry not realizing he was once again in that daze ignored him completely, Fred then examining Harry in a very curious way asked George," hmmmmm....... what do u think George?" .

George giving Harry the same detective stare while Harry looked innocently back ," I think its true, Fred". Harry looking confusedly back asked "what's true, what are you guys talking about?" the Ron walked over obviously glad they had changed the subject from him to Harry . Ron asked ," You mean... HAH .... Harry's got a crush!" .

Harry angrily slid from under the twins elbowed grip making them stumble a little replied "I do not! I don't even know her, I was just trying to be polite for knowing her over" Ron hastily replied " right" and Harry turned to Ron with an evil grin ," Hey Ron you think I can borrow the pink bear-y, I m afraid of the dark" Harry asked sarcastically.

Fred and George were rolling on the floor again , and Ron desperately trying to change the subject pointed over to Ginny, Hermione, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley saying," look they're back, oh and look at the time we should get on to the platform" George who had finally but poorly controlled his laughter a little turned to Ron and said ," yeah OK, Mr. love-a pink-a bear-a " that was enough to break both of the nerves in Harry and Fred and they both fell back to the floor followed by strange looks given by Hermione and Ginny.

Ginny holding a pumpkin pastry turned to Ron who was turning the same color as his tiny bear asked ," are they going to be OK or should I tell dad to call the medi-wizards?" . Ron replied in an angry annoyed tone ," just forget about them come on lets get on the platform". And Harry followed wiping his tears still not knowing to this very day how he managed to drag his trunk into the platform and find a compartment for them and make it to school with out bursting his lungs trying not to laugh.

A/N hehehe, the suspense begins!

Chapter 4 ******* Emergencies and Bruises

The Hogwarts Express didn't go to bad, at first Ron kept glaring at him with his arms crosses (still the same color as his hair) and some of their old friends visited like Seamus and dean Thomas who traded some chocolate frog cards with them and they talked about Quidditch. After Ron had cooled down , it was more or less like every Hogwarts express ride they had. They played chess and exploding snap. Hermione (as always) was more interested in a book then talking or watching them.

After a while Fred and George came and it looked like they had told lee Jordan about "Ron's new friend" (the pink teddy) . And it seemed Ron had became totally interested with something outside for he seemed to block out their laughs easily. Finally Lee, George and Fred got tired and left to raid some candy from first years. After that Hermione and Ron broke into one of their usual arguments about how Quidditch is the best magical branch.

Harry watched them for what looked like hours until they didn't even know what they were arguing about. Harry was afraid they were going to break into one of their stupid legendary fights but instead they burst out laughing, in which harry joined. And then before they knew it they were standing in front of Hogwarts getting off their horse less carriages.

They walked into the entrance hall feeling hungry and cold but excited. Peeves who had waxed the floor extra good (purposely) watched as the student slipped and fell on each other. Usually Professor Mc.Gonagall would be on to this scurrying Peeves off and bringing in the first years, but she was no where to be seen. The fact of Mc.Gonagall not being there spread amazingly fast between the hundreds of students waiting to enter the great hall.

Most students were mad and confused because Peeves had been determined to break at least one bone in every students body before they got into the great hall and the students didn't know to even enter the great hall without Mc.Gonagall's permission. Harry curiously wondered where she could be. The only reason she would miss something as important as this was if there was a great problem, thought harry as he stumbled onto a 7th year girl and he slipped and slid all the way against the opposite wall next to an entrance of a classroom he had never seen before (he practically sure that it had just gotten there, some classrooms at Hogwarts liked to move around).

Scurrying to get up (which he did not manage) he suddenly heard Professor sprouts voice," well, he wouldn't just leave us like this would he, I mean he's the headmaster and all" Harry suddenly stopped attempting to get up, determined to hear more. He ignored the clatter in front of him in which Ron was trying to get to Harry from. Harry listened with all his might and then heard Professor Flitwick's familiar voice ," should we continue the sorting, I mean isn't it necessary for a head master to be here at these sort of things?".

Then through all the whispers coming from the room he heard Mc.Gonagall yell angrily," Of coarse he wouldn't leave us all like this!! Do you think he became headmaster for no absolute good reason?!?" (at this point Ron who had seen harry concentrating against the wall soon, joined him and understood the conversation just as well as Harry).

"He left a note in my posesion" Mc.Gonagall said, "explaining me to tell you all he has been called off for some family emergency. He's told me to carry on with the feast but postpone the sorting until he got back. He says he's already explained to one of his house elves to set up a table for all the first years. Dumbledore also has written here to carry on with the rule sayings and announcements"

"I'll do that professor" said an slimy oily voice Harry knew almost too well. He continued ,"Since I am the most experienced with rules and making things strait" Harry thought he heard some teachers smirk at that, but his thoughts were interrupted by Mc.Gonagall replying ," Very well Severus, *harry winced at the name*

"You shall do the announcements and I will explain to the school about the sorting being postponed"

Then the giant voice of Hagrid was heard asking ," But professor if the firs' years aren' sor'ed today then we can' start the classes until they are sor'ed. can' we?" A smile appeared on both Ron and Harry's face. Harry listened hopefully as silence arose, but the silence was broken by Mc.Gonagall saying," Your right Hagrid we cant start classes or give out any work until Dumbledore comes back.."

She was rudely interrupted by Snape who said ," Surely we can give out some assignments to keep them busy. A couple essays wouldn't hurt." But Mc.Gonagall exclaimed," no, I think about a weeks vacation would do all our hectic lives some good. And Severus please don't go giving out assignments to students you dislike, I don't think I'm up to staying for detentions". Snape simply grunted in approval.

Mc.Gonagall spoke again seeming much more confident about herself, "Ah yes, and someone will have to meet Arabella at Diagon Alley and bring her here, Its so good we got some one on such short notice... Well I must bring the first years in and open the great hall, I'm sure all of you have things to do, carry on" She finished sounded more like Dumbledore than like herself.

Ron and Harry Both excitedly pushed themselves away from the wall so they wouldn't be suspected for eaves dropping. Hurrying to tell Hermione the great news both happy with smiles from ear to ear. But what they found quickly wiped the smiles off their faces.

Hermione was surrounded by people on the floor all beaten up with a black eye , her hair obviously yanked, scratches on her arms, face and hands, a bleeding lip and half of a sleeve torn off with bruises all over her arms, but suprisingly she had a proud looking smile on her face!

A/N I'll give you more right after I get some comments
