Okay this is my first story. Please go easy on it. If not many people like it. I'll delet it.
Disclaimer: The usual. I do own the character of Tokimi and the plot of the story.
"GET UP BOY. IT'S TIME FOR BREAKFAST."
Harry Potter groan inwardly as he heard his aunt voice. He open his eyes sleepily and tried to focus. Once he got dress and all, Harry trot downstairs.
"Good Morning." said Harry, trying to be civilize.
*grunt* was his only answer from his uncle.
Harry shrug and bent down to eat what is suppose to be his breakfast.
"Um...I'll go upstairs and finish my homework." said Harry.
The only answer he receive is a glare from his uncle.
Harry only grins at him and go back to his room. Ever since they found out that Harry have a dangerous murderer for a godfather, they have been trying to be more nicer to him, or as nice as the Dursleys can get anyway. Harry kind of also accidentally, purposely forgot to tell them that Sirius was also innocent, but he's not going to tell them THAT anytime soon.
4 owls was waiting for him when he open the door. One he recognize as his own, one he recognize as Pig, Ron's owl. The other two were unfamiliar but he could see that one was carrying a letter with the Hogwart symbol on it. Each owls was carrying a rather large package. They drops the package on Harry bed and dive for the water bowl. Curiously, Harry open the first parcel. A letter was also attached to it.
Harry,
How are you doing? We were all very sorry that you couldn't come here this summer, but Dumbledore said that you'll be much safer with those muggles, don't ask me why cause I'm as clueless as you. They've probably perform some type of charms. I tried to ask dad, but he wouldn't tell me. Anyhow. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I got you something, it's isn't much, but I hope you like it. Hermione is staying with us this summer. Things have been kind of hectic here this summer, with You-Know-Who rising and everything. Fudge is still denying it though. Dad said that he's trying to hush it all up. That old git. Oh well, see you at King Cross. Oh yeah, since you can't go to Diagon Alley, Mum will get your school supplies for you. Send Hedwig.
Love
Ron
Harry grins and open Ron present. In it is a small orb. Another letter was attach to it. Harry open it up eagerly.
Harry,
This is call the orb of desires. I asks Hagrid for some of your mum and dad pictures. Hope you like it. Just shake it up. You'll see.
Ron
Harry took the orb and shake it. Slowly the mist start to take forms. To Harry astonishment, the clouds soon took the shape of his mom and dad, they were smiling and waving at him.
'wow,' Harry thought. 'This is like a photo album, only better.'
Harry put aside Ron present and start on the next. The next present is from Hermione.
Harry,
I'm at Ron right now. How are things with you? Hope your aunt and uncle are treating you nicely. This is something I found in a muggle shop. I think it's neat. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Harry. Listen, Ron said that you couldn't come over here this summer, but I want you to promise me that you won't go looking for trouble okay? Stay with the muggles. Mr. Weasley said that you'll be a lot safer there.
Hermione
Harry look at here letter in disbelief. 'Yeah, like I'll be able to go anywhere. What does she think? That the Dursley will take me on vacation or something?'
Harry took out Hermione present and to his surprise it was not a book, but a saber. It wasn't magical but it sure was neat looking.
Harry unwrap another parcel, inside is something that look like a small marble, only that it's glowing different colors. Harry took the letter and open it.
Harry,
How are you doing? This is call the connection. I know you're worry about me, that's why I've decide to send you this. This thing will tell you my state of condition. If I'm in trouble, the ball will turn black. If I'm nearby, it will turn red. If it's turn different color at once, it's mean that I'm perfectly fine. This can also serve as a communicator. If you want to see me, just hold the orb and concentrate deeply. Happy Birthday and take care. I'm at Lupin right now, doing some work for Dumbledore.
Love
Sirius
Harry smile widely. Sirius is closest to a father that Harry ever have. He felt warm and content just thinking about him. Harry put Sirius letter aside and open the next letters. It was from Hagrid.
Harry,
How ya doin? I'm go'in on a task for Dumbledore, but I'll return in time for ya lessons. A very Happy Birthday to ye Harry.
Hagrid
Harry grins to himself. He knows exactly what is in the parcel.
"Yup, I was right." said Harry as he pick up the book, "How to Care for Magical Creatures."
Harry open the last letter which was from Hogwart.
Mr. Potter

September 1st couldn't come fast enough for Harry. He sent Hedwig to the Weasleys house earlier in the week and she have return with a truckload of books for him. Finally it was the day to get to King Cross. Harry have already pack his things ages ago.
"Come on boy. I don't have all day." said Uncle Vernon when he drag his trunk downstairs.
"I'm coming." mutter Harry.
The ride to King Cross was silent, just they way Harry wanted it.
"See you next summer." said Harry, getting his trunk out once they get there. Without replying, Uncle Vernon took off, not that it was any losses.
"Harry, over here."
Harry turns around and a smile lit up his face. Ron and Hermione are waving to him frantically. He hurriedly made his way toward them.
"Hi guys. I miss you." said Harry.
Ron laugh. "Come on. Mum's waiting."
Harry, Ron, and Hermione then made their way to where the rest of the Weasley are.
"Hello Harry dear. Have a good summer?" Mrs. Weasley said kindly once she saw Harry.
Harry force a smile and just nod.
"Hey Harry old pal. Glad you're alive." said Fred. He receive a stern glare from Mrs. Weasley which shut him up immediately.
"Come on now. You better go if you don't want to miss your ride." said Mrs. Weasley. "Now, I want all of you to behave yourself. Especially you two." Mrs. Weasley stop and glare at the twins. She then turn to Ron and said. "I want to see you studying hard for the owls. Do NOT repeat the twins mistakes."
"Hey," George protest vigorously, "We got ten OWLs. Which is not too shabby if I do say so myself."
Mrs. Weasley just glare at him, but soon break out into a smile. She hugs all the children, including Harry and Hermione before they go in the platform.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione push their way to an empty compartment. They settle down as Hermione start to pet Crookshanks.
"So, Hermione." started Ron. "When are you going to tell us that you have been made prefect?"
Hermione was so surprise she almost drop Crookshank. "H..o..w...h..ow.. did you know?"
Ron roll his eyes at her. "How stupid do you think we are?"
Hermione blushes furiously.
Harry turn to Hermione and grins. "Seriously, if you weren't make prefect, I don't know who would."
"Well, you guys still have a chance." encourage Hermione.
Ron snort, "Come on, like Fred said, it takes all the fun in life. If I'm a prefect, I'll have to constantly take points from myself. Right Harry?"
Harry laughs and nod.
Hermione frowns, "That's not funny."
At that moment, a girl around their age walk in. Ron eyes almost bulge out and Harry couldn't help but stare at her. She was breathtaking, with long silky black hair and a clear complexion.
Her eyes search over the compartment and without a word, went to sit at the corner spot.
Ron turns to her. "Hi, are you new?"
The girl didn't flinch, just continue staring out the window.
Ron, sensing that she doesn't want to start a conversation, turns to the other and shrug. The door to their compartment was open again. This time, the sight is not so pleasant.
"Well..well..well." Draco Malfoy drawl. "If it isn't Potty, Weasel, and the Mudblood."
His two goons, Crabbe and Goyle chuckle.
"Drop dead Malfoy." snap Ron.
Malfoy let out a derisive laugh and turns coldly toward Ron. "I'll watch your mouth if I were you Weasel. I mean, now that the Dark Lord is back, he'll probably go after all you muggles loving fools. Diggory got it, haven't he?"
This was too much for Harry, he've been trying to forget how Cedric die the whole summer. But now this idiot git have to bring it up again.
"Shut up Malfoy." Harry growl.
"And just what are you going to do about that?" said Malfoy almost lazily.
Harry was about to pull out his wand when Hermione stop him. "Harry don't. And you Malfoy, I suggest you get out right now before I take any points off of Slytherin."
Hermione shows him her prefect badge. Malfoy just sneer at her.
"Well, well, well. Look like they made the mudblood prefect. How insulting to all us prefect names."
Hermione face pale. "What do you mean Malfoy?"
Malfoy smugly turn to her and pull out his prefect badge.
"You're not the only prefect here, mudblood." drawl Malfoy. "What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?"
"I suggest you better leave." a small quiet voice said.
Malfoy turn around in surprise and for the first time, notice the strange girl there. She still haven't move an inch, just continue staring out the window.
"And who are you?" ask Malfoy.
The girl sighs then narrow her eyes dangerously at them. Her expression was chilling. Her eyes were so cold it almost made them shiver.
"Do you need your hearing check?" she said coldly
Malfoy narrow his eyes and was about to retort, but then think it over and motion to Crabbe and Goyle to follow him out.
Harry turn to the girl and smile. "Thanks. You really know how to handle Malfoy."
The girls just grunt. "Don't think that I'm helping you. I just want a little peace. Remember that."
The girl then went back to her usual position and continue staring out the window.
The three of them just give her a strange look then sits down.
Pretty soon, the Hogwart Express pull up in front of the castle.
"How ye doin?" a booming voice call.
Harry turns around and smile at Hagrid, as the giant instruct the first years to follow him.
"I wonder what will happen this year?" wonder Ron.
Harry grins at his best friend. "You never know."
