Ok hi again, well Im done my exams and summer is here! sweet soon grad yuck, so yeah I tend to drag things out sorry bout that, can't really help it or everything would end up point form. :P

"Can I help you with anything?" Harry turned around, to who he assumed was either the owner of this store or someone who simply worked here.

"Uh yeah, I was looking at your books and noticed you had some school yearbooks, do you have any from Hogwarts?" Harry picked up a text book on Charms.

"As a matter of fact we do, though not many I'm afraid, they should be somewhere around here." The old man started to look around in the book cases and moving books out of the way.

Harry continued to look around him, not moving far from the man, picking up some books he thought might help him with his NEWTS.

"Aha!" The man came from behind one of the books cases, holding three yearbooks.

"Sadly these are the only ones we own, usually students from Hogwarts tend to keep their yearbooks or the school does, you would have much more luck asking someone who attends the school."

He handed Harry the books.

"That's ok, I'll just get these." He quickly paid for his purchase, got the old man to shrink them for him, placed them in his pockets and went back to the busy Diagon Alley.

It took awhile for them to find Harry again, as soon as Molly made sure he wasn't hurt in anyway, she proceeded to scold him for leaving the group without telling them at a time like this.

"Sorry." Harry looked down at his shoes, not really sorry, he was tired of never being able to go out on his own, without having something or someone to save.

"Well what's done is done, come on now, its getting close to supper time, and you are way to thin, aren't the muggles feeding you?" Mrs. Weasley didn't wait for Harry to answer before walking to the front of the group and leading the way to the leaky couldron.

Hermione and Ron soon flanked his sides.

"Harry where and why did you go off?" Hermione glared at him with a very good imitation of Mrs Weasley.

"And why didn't you bring us with you, Fred and George have been dropping dung Bombs in my pockets, mum got mad at them and cleaned my robes of course, but still."

"You know Ron they wouldn't of placed them down your robes if you hadn't..." Harry tuned them out again, he was tired and a dull ache had started at the back of his head.

The train ride to Hogwarts went rather well, nothing out of the ordinary happened, Neville lost his toad, Draco paid the group a visit, a dung bombs were set off in the hallways.

Harry and Ron played chess, while Hermine read her book, Ginny was nowhere to be seen and had been rumored to be kissing a boy from Hufflepuff.

Severus thruw the book he was reading down, he couldn't concentrate.

Sammy was off somewhere exploring the castle, and Snape had to attend the feast, he needed more time to think about the situation he found himself in.

Picking up a peice of paper he proceeded to write a letter to his wife.
