To understand this story read Chapter 1
The Return Of Lord Voldemort
Part 2
Harry was still in shock when the Weasleys' came to pick him up. Mr. Weasley had his old Ford Anglia and Harry got confused. Mr. Weasley grinned when he saw the confusion on Harry's face and patted the car and said "Like it? Came back a week ago. I think it had enough of the Forbidden Forest, Harry,"
Harry gave Mr. Weasley a weak grin and Mr. Weasley saw the stress on his face and said quietly "Don't worry Harry. You won't get exiled. I talk to the boys at the Ministry. I think they'd prefer going against Fudge to have as a savior than suffer in the hands of You-Know-Who,"
Harry thanked him and got in the car. Fred and George were in the backseat with Ron and Ginny was in the front. She blushed when she saw Harry come in. Harry gave her a warm smile and Ginny's face turned even redder.
Harry was quiet through out the whole trip to the Burrow, even though Fred, George, Ron and Mr. Weasley unsuccessfully tried to engage him in conversation.
Molly Weasley was waiting for the rest of the family to come home with Harry when they pulled in. They walked in without a word and Mrs. Weasley cheerfully greeted Harry who forced his face into a painful smile and said hello.
- Harry had a good time with the Weasleys and Hermoine who turned up the next day that he forgot he problems until the day he had to go to Hogwarts. He stared at the castle, enjoying its appearance probably for the last time. Ron and Hermoine stopped and looked at him worriedly. "Harry?" Hermoine said gently placing her hands on his shoulders. He didn't answer her and kept looking, silently. Finally he looked down and gave her a small smile, but a real smile, nevertheless.
- "Enjoying a last look, Potter?" a familiar drawling voice said behind him. Harry didn't have to turn around to see
- that the voice belonged to Draco Malfoy, Harry arch-enemy. Harry's father and Draco's father must have been bitter rivals too. In fact, if he just stretched his mind a bit, he could imagine himself as James Potter and Darco, Lucius Malfoy. Why not? Harry and Draco both looked like James and Lucius anyway and the Dark Days were upon them now, as it was all those years ago.
- "Eat dung, Malfoy," Harry answered coolly. Draco's cheeks flushed.
- "Feel lucky that you're being banished and not killed, Potter. If you ask me, death is the only way to get rid of you," Draco said, and Ron turned red and glared.
- "How dare you!" he snarled as he lunged for Draco but was held back by Harry and Hermoine. Draco laughed.
- "Believe it, Weasley. Potter has had the seeds of evil implanted that night the Dark Lord vanished. Now he's back and it's all your fault, Potter. It's either your dark heart makes you his second-in-command or he kills you. You have a choice. Either way, you put the world in peril. You're backed in a corner, Potter and your time for a decision is running out." Draco said in malicious, ugly whisper.
- Harry glared and sneered at Draco. The other two looked at the disappearing figure of Malfoy. Then suddenly, shadows covered them. Harry frowned. Only Hagrid and Maxime could make their figures covered in their shadows, but that couldn't be right. He knew for a fact that Hagrid and Maxime were currently in the high mountains. He looked up in the sky. Ravens! Hundreds of them blocking the shine of the sun.
- A/N: I know, I know. It takes until nighttime for the Hogwarts Express to take the students to Hogwarts, but this is an essential part of the story. Lets pretend there was a spell to take the train fast this year because Dumbledore thought Voldemort would attack.
- Then one of them swooped down toward them and Ron yelled "Duck!" but Harry didn't get down fast enough. He raised his hand to smack the raven away and his hand got entangled with something it was holding. Harry thrashed around, hoping to get his hands untangled. He hit the raven and his hands got free and he saw a silver medallion in his hand. The other raven swooped to the aid of their kind. This time Harry was ready. He threw himself to the floor, narrowly missing the ravens sharp pointed beaks. In a second they were gone. Harry sighed in relef nd the three of them got up. Harry looked at the silver disc and tucked it away.
- "Hello." A cheery voice said behind them. Harry, Ron and Hermoine turned around and saw a girl with orange hair and wearing maroon robes. She smiled at them. "I saw you in that raven attack. Are you hurt?" Suddenly Hermoine gasped and pointed at the girl and looked ready to scream. The girl's cheerful face was replaced by an alarmed look and in one swift motion, she grabbed Hermoine, smiled at Ron and Harry and said "Be right back," quickly.
- The boys looked at the stranger and Hermoine conversing quietly, and Ron said suddenly, "Harry, what did Malfoy mean that it's your fault that You-Know-Who was back?" Harry looked at him and said "Nothing, you know that Malfoy says things that doesn't mean anything," in an alarmed voice.
- "But he did mean something this time, Harry. Come on. You never told us why Cedric Diggory died in that third task or why Moody was so jumpy after the Tournament?"
- Harry pretended as if he hadn't heard what Ron said and continued to look at the girls as they talked. Ron frowned and felt hurt. Even Dumbledore hadn't told him and his family what happened to Harry and Cedric. The girls came back and Hermoine smiled. "What were you talking about?" Ron asked.
- Hermoine glared at him and said "That's personal, Ron,"
- The stranger smiled at the three of them and said "Hi, I'm Relana Rodano,"
- Harry held his hand out and said "Hi I'm…"
- "I know who you are. Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermoine Granger," she said, shaking Harry's hand. "I guess people consider me weird. It's because I prefer Ravenclaw to Gryffindor," she said, smiling again.
- "Come on, the Sorting is about to start," Ron said. Talking happily, the four friends made their way to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
