Author Notes: Another Chapter is going up. Right now 20 points to who can guess where I got the Sir names for the two new Aurors in the previous Chapter! Going ahead, I'm not very good at writing sexual content, so be-warned I take inspiration from various authors (non HP), who are more 'professional about it'. Let us continue…

CHAPTER 4

'Voldemort has been hitting very specific targets, concentrating his power at one or two places, for maximum effect' said Sirius.

'Dumbledore's worried that he may try a full scale siege on 4 Privet Drive. So, we were sent in to keep a watch on you both' said Lupin, ruffling Harry's hair.

'Oh!' said Harry and Hermione together.

'But, I wouldn't worry about it, you two, Harry dear just don't wander off too far from Privet Drive, okay' said Ms Figg.

'Okay', Harry said grudgingly, his new found freedom suddenly curbed

'Guys, I'm afraid Sam and I, have to report in' said Jason. 'See you tomorrow'.

'Lucky lot! We get stuck with the paper work!' said Sam.

The group nodded and after quick good bye's both of them left via floo powder to the ministry.

'Come on you lot, dinner is ready' called Ms. Figg.

The entire group led by Ms Figg, marched into the dinning hall. Dinner conversation centered on Harry's tasks, Voldemort and more pleasantly Sirius's childhood.

'You know Harry, Sirius here had a huge crush on Prof. McGonagall' said Ms. Figg.

Lupin snickered. Harry and Hermione burst out laughing.

'I did not!' said Sirius. 'Arabella, why would you say such things!'

'Now, now, Padfoot, settle down, it was just a school boy crush' said Lupin.

'School Boy crush!' laughed Ms. Fig, 'He practically followed her everywhere!'

'Please tell me Sirius, this isn't true, is it?' asked Harry.

Sirius just blushed.

'It's true then, how could you!' said Harry horrified.

'Well, I was young and impressionable in my first year, and she was quite striking at that time' said Sirius indignantly.

'Young and Impressionable' said Ms. Figg 'as if'.

'I think it's sweet' spoke up Hermione.

'Thank you, Hermione, you're my temporary new best friend' said Sirius, shifting his chair away from Harry and closer to her.

'Oh! Come of it you' said Lupin. 'Dam! Harry, you better make a move, it's almost 8'o clock!'

'We'll be late!' exclaimed Harry. He and Hermione quickly hugged their goodbyes and ran out of the house, towards 4 Privet Drive. The made it a few minutes before eight.

They rang the door bell and Dudley opened the door. As soon as he saw Hermione, he was paralyzed. It was love at first sight. Astonished what a beautiful girl like her was doing with Harry, he let them in without a word.

'You boy, take your Ruddy friend and stay in you room' shouted Vernon from the living room.

Harry and Hermione left a very shaken Dudley downstairs and climbed up to their mutual room. The moment the entered, Harry fell on the floor laughing, while Hermione giggled.

'Did you see the look he gave you Hermione!' said Harry rolling on the floor laughing 'I think he's got a crush on you!'

'Stop it Harry, he's repulsive!' said Hermione 'I've never seen someone so fat it my life; you weren't exaggerating when you said he was the size of a young killer whale!'

'Sorry, Hermione, but you have to admit this has potential' Harry said, his eyes gleaming.

'Forget, it Harry, lets owl Ron' said Hermione 'Hedwig is back'.

'Hedwig' Harry said with a smile 'I've missed you'. Hedwig hooted, and nipped his finger affectionately.

'No letter?' said Hermione

'Naw, I think Sirius knew that he would meet me soon' replied Harry. 'Anyway let's write to Ron'.

They both sat down and wrote Ron a long parchment, giving the entire details of the attack, Hermione's arrival and what they did that day. Obviously, they left out the part about their new undeclared feelings for each other. Harry tied the letter to Hedwig's leg, and with a hoot she was off to the burrow.

'Okay, that is out of the way, what do you want to do now' said Harry.

'Harry, I'm tired out! I think I better go to sleep' said Hermione.

'Sorry, I should have realized it, you can have the bed I'll sleep on the floor' said Harry.

Hermione was about to protest, but Harry stopped her 'its okay, Herm, you've got a lot to recover from'. Hermione sighed, she knew she could not win the battle and gave up.

They changed by taking turns to go out, and settled down for the night.

'Good Harry' said Hermione with a yawn.

'Good Night, Herm' said Harry,

Both tried, they fell asleep almost immediately.

Far from Privet Drive, in a remote castle somewhere it Scotland.

The dark wizard Lord Voldemort sat on his throne. His pet snake Nagini beside on his right and a staff shaped like a snake in his left arm.

A man walks into his presence, and kneels

'My Lord, you summoned me' said Lucius Malfoy. The head of the Pure blood Malfoy clan, a powerful follower of the Dark Lord.

'Malfoy, It is time, tell me where are my heirs, they should be old enough now' said Lord Voldemort, he voice snake like.

'My Lord, of the three heirs only one remains, the other two were never born. Their mothers were killed before they could give birth' said a now quaking Malfoy.

'They died, in my service then' said Voldemort.

'Yes, My Lord, with your name on their lips' said Malfoy.

'It was your duty to protect them both, Malfoy' said Voldemort.

'I am sorry' My Lord I failed' said Malfoy.

Crucio

Malfoy tried not to scream, I can take this he thought. A few seconds later his screams shattered the silence of the night. After a minute, which seemed like hours to Malfoy. Voldemort stopped.

'Who is the remaining heir' said Voldemort.

'My, Lord only the Lestranges knew' replied Luscious.

'Then it is time, we freed my greatest followers' said Voldemort.

'Understood Sire, I will inform the dementors immediately' said Malfoy.

'Leave me! I must plan' said Voldemort.

'As you wish, My Lord' he bowed himself out.

'Potter' he screamed.

'You will not last long now…'

The next day, Harry Potter, woke with a jump, his scar was burning. The connection between him and Voldemort was back.

Okay Sorry for the short chapter, I promise the next one will be longer, and more 'Vivid'.

Thanks to all those who reviewed.
