A/n: Hi, OK MAJOR MISTAKE as most of you pointed out it was seventh year and I shall be correcting that. I have added a small piece to my first chapter but some of you got the idea that that was my story or something I got a little confused IT IS ONLY THE FIRST CHAPTER! I only wrote it two days ago (the 3rd of July) hmmm what other stuff did you say… Grammar that's it I have just run it through word check whilst writing this authors note and word told me it was OK so point out the Grammar mistakes OK. The reviews seemed mixed (oh thanks for all the feedback by the way). Amanda was the only one who noticed that Bill worked in Egypt and I said Romania so I have changed that for you (You see I care for my readers). Lots of you seem disappointed I didn't say anything about who he is in love with in the first chapter. He gets to Hogwarts first but I'm not telling you who it is you will have to read to find out. You all seemed to want more, well most of you so this next bit might be pretty rushed. It is PG13 not NC17 so there wont be any totally detailed intimate stuff if that's what you are looking for maybe some kissing and stuff later on but give me time bare with me OK. Also I'm new to this thing what's a cliffhanger? OK lot of rambling back their, now to story.

"But Harry!" Hermione gasped "Isn't he well you know…" her voice trailed off.
"Dead" Harry finished the sentence off for her "that's what I thought to, but look" he reached for his bag and spent a while rummaging through trying to find something. Eventually he drew out a piece of parchment and held it up "It's a letter from Dumbledore I got it during the summer listen ill read it to you"
Dear Harry
In case this letter is intercepted on the way and falls into wrong hands I cannot tell you all I wish. I am able to tell you however that I have received news from Snuffles he is alive but barely I am looking after him. He is safe. I shall tell you more when I see you next. Tell no one of this news, during this time of war we do not know who to trust and who at this very moment shall be betraying us to Voldemort. (Both Ron and Hermione winced when Harry read the name but let him continue) Stay safe and send me news by owl of any strange occurrences straight away.
Yours sincerely
Dumbledore
"Oh Harry" Hermione's voice choked out the words "I'm so pleased, it's been so long. It is too long far to long. Oh Sirius I'm so happy"
"Hermione its OK don't cry I'm sure he is OK and everything he is with Dumbledore what could go wrong?" Ron's voice reassured Hermione "How did he do it though how did he get away? I'll ask dad see what he thinks I'm sure he would have heard about it he is in the ministry and all"
"Oh Ron you mustn't you did hear what Dumbledore told Harry didn't you? He must tell No one…" Her voice trailed off as she realised what Harry had done "Harry! Dumbledore said not to tell anyone! Why did you tell us anyone could have heard you what a stupid thing to do! What if someone heard you and they know who Snuffles is and…and they… well you know"
"Well you didn't think it such a bad idea when I first told you did you?" Came Harry's fierce reply.
"Yes well I didn't realise did I, you shouldn't have told us Harry! Why do you still have that letter out put it away!"
"OK! OK! Calm down you two. Harry I think you better destroy that letter now but no harm has been done has it so just burn it or something and lets forget about it OK? Deal?"
"OK fine with me" said harry he pulled out his wand and tapped the parchment which burst into flames and fell in ashes onto the floor of the carriage.
A few minutes silence past when Ron said something that seemed to have been bothering him "Why didn't you tell us before Harry. I know you weren't meant to or anything" he added looking at Hermione "but you said you got it on Holiday was that when you were at the Burrow or not?"
"Well it was before but…" Harry thought for a while "I'm not sure it just slipped my mind I suppose I was having so much fun at the Burrow unlike at the Dursleys"
Ron smiled and reddened. Harry pretended not to notice. They spent a long time after that just chatting and making sure not to mention Sirius again. They played a few games of exploding snap and when the lunch trolley came around Harry bought a huge lunch and shared it out between his friends.
As the light began to slowly fade from out side the carriage windows into darkness the carriage door slid open and Ginny walked in.
"Hiya Ginny" said Harry cheerfully "Want some food I've still got some left"
She glanced at the remains of chocolate frogs and Bertie Bots every favour beans and shook her head.
"No Harry its OK, I was looking for someone Neville have you seen him?"
"No sorry Ginny. Why do you want Neville?" Hermione replied
"Well… err… I needed to see him he said he would help me with err… this thing you see, em… it was about some homework we were set over the holidays. Yes that's it he said he would help me"
"I never knew you were asking Neville for help Ginny why didn't you ask me I am your brother!" said Ron
"Err… oh yeah right I forgot about that. Yeah well anyway I have to go now charlotte wanted to tell me something she said it was err… important yeah so I suppose I better go OK? I dunno what it is about though but I will see you at the sorting I suppose"
She turned and walked from the carriage but Harry couldn't help noticing the way the tips of her ears were glowing scarlet.
"What's she up to?" asked Ron "what she told us just then it was crap all of it. Why would she ask Neville about homework? Neville of all people!"
"Don't ask me!" said Harry "she's your sister" he chuckled.
"Well she is up to something and I'm going to find out" Ron said defiantly.
"Oh leave her alone Ron" said Hermione, she giggled "it's probably nothing" She glanced at Harry and raised her eyebrows and grinned. Herry grinned back.
"What are you to laughing about I'm serious I'm going to find out what she is up to"
"OK Ron you do that," said Hermione.
"What! What is it stop patronising me come on what is funny!"

The rest of the journey was uneventful and soon enough the train was slowing down and eventually stopped. Harry, Ron and Hermione stepped off together and looked over to Hagrid.
"Hiya Hagrid!" They called
"Alrigh' you lot" He grinned then shouted "firs' years over here firs' years cum on follow me" He turned and added to Harry "Come see me later 'K? You two as well tomorrow maybe at lunch cya then." He turned away and led a trail of first years after him.
Harry, Ron and Hermione turned and headed towards the horse less carriages waiting for them. Suddenly a girl turned and looked straight at Harry, he felt his stomach tighten he tapped Ron on the shoulder.
"Who is that girl over there look!" He pointed where the girl had been standing only to find she was no longer there.
"What? Who?" said Ron puzzled.
"Oh never mind she has gone now"
The three of them clambered into a carriage and as it rattled towards the castle Harry sat in a dream thinking, "who had she been?"
He had never felt this way before he felt sort of nervous but excited she had made his blood beat faster and he now felt slightly confused what was this feeling it wasn't fright he had defiantly been frightened before what was it? He made a mental note to find out later at some point during the next couple of days and then settled back in his seat with a contented smile on his face.
A/n: OK what did you think was it all right? I came on today expecting to find no one had read my story but found 33 review instead I was amazed and I thank you. For your great response I have just written the above please point out mistakes so it can be corrected as it has just been written in about the past hour (the time is now 20:37) with no preparation as I was not expecting to be writing anything today. Please give me feedback but it might be a while before I post the next bit I need time more than two days but you never know if I feel in the mood… Remember to tell me what is a cliffhanger? Some of you mentioned it in reviews.
