It was the ending of the summer and Harry was back at the Burrow. It had been an unusually long summer, since Harry had not slept very much. He had nightmares almost every night and his scar now hurt constantly. He was lucky to be away from the Dursley's. They had locked him up the minute he got to their house for the summer, and had not let him out except for about five minutes everyday. He had finally escaped from the Dursleys by sneaking out in the middle of the night using the trick the Weasley twins had taught him and by using the floo powder Ron had sent him.
Harry was sitting on his bed reading Flying with the Cannons. He was not very keen on sleeping even though it was the last day of the summer. Tomorrow he was heading back to Hogwarts. He was extremely happy to finally be going back. Maybe his dream would go away when he got there. If not he could always get a dreamless sleep potion from Madam Promfrey.
He got up from his bed and walked over to the window.
Yep, he thought, this will definitely be a very interesting year.
Harry was in his fifth year at Hogwarts. Last year had been terrible for him. It still pained him to think about everything that happened. He turned around and looked at Ron who was sound asleep. At least he has nothing to worry about. Nothing bothering him, he has never had to face the type of nightmares Harry had every night, Harry thought.

It was finally time to get ready to go to King's Cross station. They had to call a couple of taxis to get them there since the Weasley's car was running around wild in the Forbidden Forest. When they got there he and Ron went to go find Hermione, their best friend. They found Hermione on the platform talking to Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil.
Hey! What Going on? Harry called out to her in his mind.
Hermione had found a neat little potion that let the three friends talk in to each other in their minds. She had spent almost all summer working on it and trying to keep her parents from finding out about it. Then she had sent a bit of it to Harry and Ron and now whenever anything important popped up they could talk to each other. They had started to get really used to talking to each other in their minds they barely noticed that other people might think they weren't talking to each other.
Hermione swiveled around; all though no one else could hear the voice they knew something was up with how quickly she reacted to absolutely nothing. They could tell that she knew that Ron and Harry were there.
She ran over and hugged them. Not much here, She thought back, how did the muggles treat you?
She was looking right at Harry when she had said it and she could tell by his face it had not been good.
Horrible! Harry thought back. I'm lucky I am not dead by now. They locked me up and didn't let me out. Ron sent me some floo powder and I finally escaped.
You should have told me. You could have come and spent the summer with me. Hermione told him.
They walked silently onto the train. Someone watching the three who knew them pretty well would have said they probably had a fight and were not talking to each other.
They got all their trunks onto the train and went back onto the platform to say good-bye to the Weasleys.
"Now you be good." Mrs. Weasley told them.
Yeah, right. Like that is ever going to happen. Harry heard Ron mutter in his mind.
"You two" She said looking directly at Ron and Harry. "Try to stay out of trouble. No sneaking around the castle this year."
Like you can stop us. Harry thought to the others. The three of them had big plans.
At least act like you are listening to her. She might get suspicious if we don't. Hermione shot back at them.
Fine. Ron replied
"Have a good year and don't forget to write. Listen to your professors and study for your O.W.L.s." Mrs. Weasley continued on.
"Now it is time for you to get on the train." She finally said as she ushered them all onto the train.
When they finally got a compartment to themselves they all laid down and tried to get some sleep. Harry just acted like he was going to sleep until Hermione and Ron were asleep so they wouldn't get suspicious. Then he sat up and started reading from Flying with the Cannons it was about the twelfth time that he read it but he didn't have much else to read.
A very long ride later, which consisted of Ron and Hermione sleeping almost the whole time and Harry trying not to go to sleep, they finally got to Hogwarts.
They got off the train and saw the little first years all getting into the boats at the dock. They trio got into a horseless carriage and was shortly joined by Neville Longbottem.
After a very bumpy carriage ride they finally arrived at Hogwarts.
I hope the feast starts soon. Ron thought to the other two, as they started to enter the building.
Oh don't worry. I don't think they are very many first years this year. Harry replied.
Is that all the two of you can think about? Just food. I hope that Dumbledore has a very long speech to give us this year so you two starve before the feast. Then that will teach you two. Hermione shot back at them.
They finally sat down in the Great Hall and listened to the sorting hat sing its song. When the first years were all sorted Dumbledore stood up and gave a not so usual speech.
"As some of you might know, but I think that most of you don't, Sirius Black has been proven innocent and is now going to be our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Also your old professor, Professor Lupin has agreed to take over the Care of Magical Creatures job since Hagrid has been called away on business. I expect all of you to be respectful towards Professor Black. Now lets eat."
What, I can't believe it!! Sirius never said anything to me about being proven innocent. How could he forget to mention something as important as that? I can't believe he is going to be our new teacher. Fred and George ought to have a blast with Sirius. Those three are the ones we need to keep up with on the pranks. Harry thought so quickly that Hermione and Ron barely caught everything he said.
Cool down Harry. Will go talk to him as soon as the feast is done and see what happened with him over the summer. Ron replied.
As soon as the feast was over the three of them stood up, got the new password from the new prefect and headed up to talk to Sirius.
"Hello Professor Lupin" Harry said as they ran up to the new professors. Then he turned to Sirius "Why didn't you tell me? All those letters you sent me and you never once mentioned you were about to be found innocent." Harry demanded of Sirius the moment they came close enough to talk without anyone over hearing.
"Calm down Harry. I wanted it to be a surprise. By the way I have a package for you. Now I want to see the three of you in detention as much as possible after I give the package to you. I'll see you tomorrow since you are in my first lesson and you can have the package after class. Now get to bed." Sirius told the three of them.
I wonder what he meant by that. Harry thought to the other two.
No doubt that we will find out soon. Hermione replied, and with that the three of them headed of to the common room.
When the three reached the common room they separated and went up to their dormitories.
This has been one strange night, and no doubt it will get stranger throughout the school year. Harry thought, careful not to let the other two hear.
And with that the three fell asleep. At that moment the three had no cares, and were completely free of worries. For that little bit of time anyways.
