Nico was spat out of the shadows onto a strange street in the middle of a bustlingcity. He looked around him amazed that no one has seen him but then againit's stunning how little mortals notice.

Nico scanned the street for that one place Hades mentioned. BrokenCauldronorsomething? He cursed his dyslexia as he squinted through the heavyrain at a dark inn-like building on the other side of the road. From what he could tell
the name looked kind of similar so he decided to check it out.

As Nico pushed open the door her was suddenly hit by a wave of energy. He guessed this must be the right place so he walked up to the bar, ignoring the strange looks he was getting, and booked a room. The man behind the counter asked for something with
a funny name, Nico assumed he was talking about the money his father had given him so he reached his hand into his bag and pulled out a handful of assortedcoins. The man behind the counter looked shocked but took the money anyway. As Nico headed
up the stairs to the room he was staying in he realised he must of given the man way more money he had asked for, but at the moment Nico didn't care, he just wanted to collapse on the bed and sleep for a long time. And that's exactly what he did.

Harry kicked the wall in frustration. Why couldn't those ministry idiots see he was telling the truth? Harry growled at the dull throbbing in his foot and the quite noticeable dent in the wall. Sirius was going to be angry at him for itand he braced
himself for the shouting when heard his godfather making his way up the stairs of Grimald Place. With Harry's experience with the Dursleyshe didn'texpect it when Sirius walked in, saw the dent in the wall, laughed, patted him on the back
said something about all the the dents he madeand walked away shaking his head and smiling was left standing in the middle of the room looking in awe at the retreating image of his godfather.

The young wizardwould head back to Hogwarts very soon and there would be no more dementors, no more stupid relatives and no more ignorant ministry officials. Harry would be glad to see the last of this summer. However, Grimmauld Place wasn't too
bad. He did finally have a place to stay other than Privet Drive and now he had a Godfather!

Harry was knocked out of his thoughts by Ron running into his room and shoving a letter under his nose. Ron was grinning ear to ear and positivity ecstatic about this new letter.

"Mate look! I'm a prefect! I mean we all thought you would get it but look! Hermione's one too which is good. And maybe i can finally get mum to get me that broom I've always wanted and oh, it was so unexpected and everything. We all thought you would
be the one to get it what with being Dumbledore's favourite and all but I guess with the triwizard tournament..." Ron funnily drifted off and looked down at his friend."Ah sorry mate... I didn't mean to.. You know... Sorry 'bout that."

"No, no, Ron that's great. I'm happy for you." Harry said, in as happy a tone as he could muster,still not making eye contact with him.

"Ah don't be like that Harry. Just think, imagine me giving Malfoy a detention. Oh, The look on his face." Ron mused. He then handed the prefect badge over to Harry so he could see it properly.

Suddenly hermione ran in, envelope in hand

"Harry, Harry did you get-?" She spotted the badge in Harry's hand and shrieked. "I knew it!" She said excitedly. "Me too, Harry!"

Harry quickly pushed the badge back into Ron'shand. "No" he said quickly, "no, it's Ron"

"Oh, Ron? Are you sure?" Ron glared at her. " I... well... wow! Well done Ron that's really -"

"Yeah I got it..."Ron mumbled looking dejected.

"Well... anyway, I also came here to tell you that wewere heading to the station in a few hours so get packed and everything... see ya." Hermione said before walking out of the room cast one last look at Harry, who still wouldn't
meet his eyes, before heading after Hermione.

Harry sighed before getting up and starting the painful process of trying to fit all of his possessions into his trunk. He tried this for a good ten minutes before remembering that there was a spell to make the trunk for more. He mentally face palmed
before seeking out Hermione for help.

You have probably guessed by now that I will be following the book for a few scenes near the beginningkinda, so i will use some of the writing straight from the book but I'll change it around a bit into my own words sometimes. Also I said I wouldn't update until I got a review but i did get a ton of follows and favourites so thats great.
