Chapter 1
The Unforgettable Stranger
The summer was winding down again. In a few weeks Harry Potter would be entering his 5th year at Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry. The one thing Harry hated the most was being without his friends though. Each year he'd have them, but when he left, he'd go to them rude Dursleys. Harry didn't like Dudley, not even a little.
Harry Potter, the boy who lived waited for his 5th year to come, but something was on his mind. Weeks ago, in his 4th year at the school, something terrible happened. A friend died, and a dark lord had risen from the ashes of the past. Lord Voldemort had returned and had nearly killed Harry when luck would have a way of saving the day once again. Harry had defeated the dark lord and had gotten to see the spirits of his parents. The thought of him scared Harry.
Now as Harry sat in his room waiting for a letter from Hermione, he wondered about his future. Suddenly Mr. Dursley burst right through the door. Harry jumped quickly, startled by the act.
" I don't know who this girl is but she wants to see you. And she has your owl!" Dursley said quite rudely.
" Ok Uncle Vernon," Harry said. Harry quickly ran down the stairs and to the door. There standing at the door was a 15-year-old Hermione Granger. Hermione was wearing normal muggle clothes, a skirt, knee high socks, and a t-shirt. Now that Harry thought about it, Hermione was becoming quite attractive as the years passed. She smiled as she saw Harry come to the door.
" Hello Harry," she said.
" Hello Hermione," Harry replied. " Would you like to come in?"
" Thank you," Hermione answered, taking the offer.
They sat down in one of the chairs in the family room. Hermione sat across from Harry.
" So, have you talked to Ron?" Harry asked.
" Not recently. I was going to visit him but thought you'd want to come along as well," Hermione explained.
" I'd like that. Anything to get away from the Dursleys," Harry said.
" Yeah. That Mr. Dursley isn't really nice. I had a hard time just getting to see you," Hermione commented. Just then Dudley came down and saw them. Seeing Harry with a girl shocked Dudley. But then Dudley put 1 and 1 together and ran upstairs quickly.
" Mummy! Harry's got a witch friend with him!" Dudley called out.
" We better get going before aunt Petunia comes down," Harry said.
And so they got up and left the house. Outside Harry took a deep breath.
" They must not let you out much," Hermione said. Harry could only shake his head. They were half a block away when Harry noticed a strange man looking at them. He seemed very scary. His eyes had almost a reddish glow. Harry's scar burned a bit. Harry kept walking, almost speeding up a bit. Hermione had to catch up a bit. Well, Harry was on his way with Hermione. They were off to see Ron at his house. It was there that Harry would explain the man.
