Chapter Five
When the trio went downstairs early the next morning to send the owl off to Professor Dumbledore they found Ginny asleep with her head on the kitchen table. She looked like she had been there all night and she had also been crying. When they woke her she looked around the room frantically, and when she saw Harry she started to cry again. They asked her what the matter was and in reply she said
'Oh Harry it was terrible. I had a dream last night about Voldemort. He… He was at a Death Eater meeting and he said that he… he was going to.' At this point she stopped speaking and dissolved into tears again.
The trio looked worryingly at each other. Had Ginny had the same dream that they had had? If this was the case then they could understand why Ginny was crying like this. Hermione hugged Ginny reassuringly until her tears had stopped. Then she said soothingly 'Ginny, you know that there are a lot of people doing their best to keep Harry safe. There's Professor Dumbledore, Sirius, Professors Lupin, Snape, McGonagall, and were not going to let much hurt Harry, that's why I looked up the Telepathy Potion. That should help us protect Him.'
'I know. I guess that particular dream just got to be a bit too much. It was just terrible. You-know-who just standing there saying that he was going to kill Harry. ' Ginny said through she was still sobbing a bit.
'We can understand why you were worried,' Harry said 'Intact we think that we had the same dream last night. Somehow the Telepathy link has made it possible for us to share dreams.'
'It did? I'm not a part of that so how come Harry and I are sharing dreams then?' Ginny asked curiously
'Well it's possible that you are both sharing dreams because of your past experiences with You-know-who. We know that's why Harry scar hurts, and well, Ginny even had him inside her soul.' Hermione replied, saying the last part tentatively because she didn't know what Ginny's reaction would be.
'Yeah that's definately a possibility,' said Harry 'Would that also mean it's possible for Ginny, Voldemort (he ignored the winces of the others) and I to talk telepathically without the aid of a potion?'
'That's very much a possibility I guess, although I'd need to read up on a few thing in the library to make sure. I guess if you wanted too you might be able to.' Hermione answered in reply to his question.
'I don't really want to know if it's possible for You-know-who to talk telepathically with Harry and me. I'm not even sure yet if I want Harry connected telepathically with me. I'm sorry for saying this but it's the truth.' Ginny said after Hermione had finished.
'That's okay Ginny. I understand how you feel. I'm sure the boys do as well. DON'T you' Hermione replied, raising her voice as she said the last bit and glancing purposefully ay Ron and Harry.
The boys replied in muttered agreement, not wanting to spark an argument with Hermione. Ginny giggled at this. Then with a bit of a yawn said 'Well I think I should get to bed before Mum gets up and starts fussing due to my lack of sleep. Goodnight.'
The trio all said goodnight before watching her go upstairs. All of them thinking that her being a part of the link would do a great deal of help for Ginny. They decided after a brief telepathic conversation that they'd bring the topic up again when they got to school, hopefully by then she had come to terms with the idea. With that said they went about sending the owl to Dumbledore.

The next few weeks flew along pretty quickly and it was soon time for Mrs. Weasley to take them to Diagon Alley. They went again by floo-powder, much to the dismay of Harry (he had had bad experiences with floo powder.) Once they arrived they split up into groups to do their shopping. Fred and George went off in one direction, but not before Mrs. Weasley could forbid them to enter Knockturn Alley. Mrs. Weasley went with Harry, Ron, Ginny and Hermione to Gringotts.
While they were at Gringotts. Harry got into a conversation with Mrs. Weasley about how much money she wanted for buying his supplies last year. When she replied that he didn't need to pay her anything he went over to Hermione and said
'You know it hurts me to see how poor the Weasleys are, especially when they won't accept any money or anything from us'
Hermione replied 'Yeah I know.' She then had an idea 'Why don't we shop today for some things, then ask if the store keepers if they can send it ahead to the Burrow so we can give it to them then.'
'Hermione, that's a great idea. What should we buy for them?' Harry said happily.
So the two of them though about it while they got their money from their vaults, and when Mrs. Weasley dragged Ron and Ginny off to get new robes they said that they didn't need any and would do some shopping together while they waited. So they arranged to meet up with the Weasleys in a hour.
Once they were alone together they first went off to buy another owl for Mr. And Mrs. Weasley, they also got an owl for Ginny. While they were buying the owls Harry had another idea. He asked the storekeeper to also send with the owls a letter saying that the Weasleys had won an in-store competition to the value of 500 galleons, which he enclosed in the letter. With that done they realized that they had to meet up with the Weasleys again.
When they met up Mrs. Weasley announced that she was going into the Leaky Cauldron before finishing her shopping. She gave Ron and Ginny some money for the rest of their schoolbooks and the four of them went of towards Flourish and Blotts to but their books.
They bought all of their books fairly quickly. Hermione had her usual extra reading material that took up three extra bags this year. Unfortunately once they left the store they ran straight into Draco Malfoy, who as usual, had his two big thugs, Crabbe and Goyle with him. As he saw the four Gryffindors his face gained it's usual sneer as he said 'Well if it isn't the Weasels. The Mudblood and Potty the MURDERER. It's incredible Dumbledore let you out, what with the Dark Lord back and all.'
Harry's fists clenched at Malfoy's punctuating the word murderer and he could feel the anger swell up inside him. He also felt another of those power surge tingles coming on. This one was different though, this was much more powerful. Suddenly in his mind he saw the reason why, the screen with the dots was back again and two silver dots were moving along the line towards him from Ron and Hermione's dot. At the top of the screen was the words 'Power Sharing Activated.' Once he saw this he looked over at Ron and Hermione, they were looking rather ill and Harry surmised that it was due to what the link was doing.
To try and make them better he tried to tell the voice in his head to stop the sharing. 'That is not possible,' came the reply, 'you must use the power that is drawn or it is wasted.' Because Harry blamed Malfoy for this he started to think about what revenges he could reap on him. He decided that he'd see what a Malfoy looks like in a maid's outfit. As soon as he thought this a curse appeared in his head, he whispered this, thinking that because he didn't have his wand in his hand, the spell wouldn't work, do he was really surprised when he looked up to see Malfoy dressed in a complete French maids outfit, complete with feather-duster.
While Ginny started laughing her head off. Harry noticed that the screen in his minds eye had closed, and was relieved when he looked at Hermione and Ron to see that they were looking much better, although a little confused as to what had happened. That was until they saw Malfoy that is. When they saw the way he looked Ron joined Ginny in laughter, while Hermione just smiled. Harry though that Hermione's lack of reaction was because she was worried. This though was confirmed when Ron and Ginny stopped laughing and the four of them were out of earshot of Malfoy when she said 'what happened Harry? I felt my power drain away and I didn't know what was happening until the screen thing came up with 'Power Sharing In Progress on it,' it was weird.'
'Well what Malfoy said made me angry. I sort of lost control again and it must've started the 'Power-sharing' thing, I remember you telling us about that when we first took the potion. I guess we just found out how that works, although it could use a little work to figure out the problems.'
'A little work! We almost faint and he says it needs a LITTLE work!' Ron said exhasperatedly before relenting and adding 'Sorry, just blowing off a bit of steam. That was scary. It will definitely be cool if we can figure out how it works though.'
'Yeah well we will, but when we get back to school. I'm surprised that I haven't received a ministry warning for doing magic in the holidays' Harry said in reply to Ron's comment.
'Yes your lucky about that Harry. I mean seriously, flaunting rules like that. What were you thinking?' Hermione said. Hermione had finally gotten over her shock during the "Power-share," Harry noticed, and she was now back to her usual law-abiding self.
'It was an accident Hermione. I couldn't DO anything other than cast a spell. I tried channeling the power back towards you but the link wouldn't let me.'
Hermione was about to reply and continue berating Harry but Ginny cut in before her with 'Well it's over now so we'd better get back to my Mum. She's probably wondering where we are.' So they headed back to the Leaky Cauldron where Mrs. Weasley was waiting with some floo powder for their return to the Burrow and another of her magnificent feasts.

The Burrow was in a state of controlled chaos on the morning of September the First. Today was the day that they returned to Hogwarts, but few of them had prepared before today, this was why everyone was running about trying to find spare quills, stray textbooks, and grab a bit of breakfast.
Finally they were all packed and sitting in the Ministry car that Mr. Weasley had borrowed for the day. On the way to Kings Cross they talked about who they all thought would be the DADA teacher this year. Mr. Weasley seemed to know but he wasn't telling. Harry then told Ron Hermione and Ginny what Dumbledore has said in his reply. It had been a short letter thanking Harry for telling him about Voldemort not trusting Snape, and it requested that they see him after the sorting feast that night. Privately Harry though the last may be because of the 'Surges' he had been getting. He still had not heard back from Sirius so he was hoping that Sirius had told Dumbledore, and the professor was going to tell him what they were actually from.
Once they got to the station they had their usual rush thru the barrier between platforms 9 and 10 onto platform 9 ¾. They grabbed an empty compartment for themselves, then went back out to say goodbye to Mrs. Weasley, she gave them all a big hug, and Harry's was the biggest. Before they had to get back onto the train before it went.
The trip was going pretty smoothly until Malfoy decided to pay them a visit. At their first glance of Malfoy the four Gryffindors all burst out laughing because Malfoy was still dressed in the maid's outfit, he also even had the feather-duster in his hand still. They stifled their laughter when they saw the look on his face however. To say that he was angry would've been a terrible understatement. All Malfoy did for a while was glare at the Gryffindors, his face then changed into an evil sneer as four hooded Deatheaters apparated into the compartment.
The deatheaters grabbed the four of them, tied them up tightly, took their wands and disapparated them away from the train. They reappeared in the graveyard that Harry was strangely becoming accustomed to. Waiting for them were the rest of the deatheaters. Voldemort, however, had not arrived yet. Harry looked into the eyes of his friends but all he could see was fear. He tried to reassure Ron and Hermione telepathically, but because he didn't feel so sure himself, he wasn't very convincing.
Suddenly Voldemort appeared in a cloud of smoke. When he saw Harry standing there he leered and said 'Harry Potter. So good of you to join us tonight. We left some unfinished business last time we were here. Do you remember what happened that night?'
Harry balled all of his courage into a tight ball before replying 'Tom, it's me you want. Let the others go and you can do whatever you want with me. Just. Let. Them. Go!' the last was said forcefully.
Voldemort's only reply was to laugh mockingly. 'Now, now Potter, what would I gain from that. But what a noble one you Potter. It kind of reminds me of your late Father. A pity he couldn't have lived longer. I did give him a choice you know, but for some reason he preferred to try to keep his… family alive.' Voldemort put extra sneer into the family jibe.
Harry suddenly felt very angry. It was not an emotion he often felt so the ferocity of this anger nearly scared him.
He thought in his head that he had to get free and suddenly there was a flash and the bonds that held Harry came loose. He could feel his power levels grow dramatically, this felt different than 'power-sharing.' This felt as if a high voltage power line had suddenly been connected to him, so much power was flowing thru his body. Harry could not see himself or course, but if he could he would have seen the shimmering light that surrounded his body. This same light was hurting the Deatheaters who couldn't look at something this pure without feeling pain.
Harry turned towards a shocked Voldemort and almost yelled 'Never. Talk. About. My. Father. Like. That. Again you murderer!' and with these words he cast a banishing spell at Voldemort. The spell was so powerful that Voldemort was couldn't block it and was thrown backwards into a headstone.
Harry then turned towards the Deatheaters and said with utter loathing 'I will give you FOUR minutes to get him' he gestured towards Voldemort and then continued 'and yourselves away from here. And never hurt anyone ever again or I swear I will kill all of you.'
As they saw the look on this very angry man's face the Deatheaters seemed to unanimously decide that they didn't want to face him so they apparated away to destinations unknown, taking their lord away with them.
Harry moved over to his friends. He noticed their shocked expressions as he quickly set about freeing Ron from the ropes that held him. Ron and Harry then set about untying Hermione and Ginny and once they all were untied, they all started to think of a way to get themselves to Hogwarts.
Harry though about travel for a minute before a voice in his head started repeating a spell over and over. Harry ignored this voice for about five minutes until it started to become irritating before he asked Hermione 'Hermione, have you ever heard of a thing called Molecurisation?'
'I've read a bit about it. It said in "Hogwarts: a History" that you can Molecularise into Hogwarts. Although not many Witches or Wizards have been capable of doing it. Why do you ask?' was her reply
'Well this annoying voice in my head keeps telling me to use it to travel to Hogwarts.' Came Harry's response
'Hermione. Harry just kicked You-know-who's butt. You'd think in this case he'd actually be able to use this.' Ron said to Hermione irritably
'Yeah well I guess we could give it a try. The worst that can happen is that our bodies could merge together. But, as you say, Harry has shown a great amount of power tonight. I think it's currently our only choice and we should try it.' Hermione said
Harry and Ginny agreed and soon they were standing in a circle, holding hands. Harry, with his wand in the hand he shared with Ginny. Because he didn't know if the power that he had felt before was still inside him he started a 'power-share' between himself and Ron. This time he kept a close eye on Ron before stopped the flow of power, this he did when Ron started to look sick. He then did the same with Hermione.
After doing this he felt that he had enough power to use the Molecularization Spell. He gripped his wand harder and said 'Molecularisus Hogwarts'
Nothing happened for a while. Then their bodies started to dis- intagrate and start to swirl around. Suddenly they saw a flash and they were lying in the great hall in a crumpled heap. In front of a first year that was currently screaming her head off. Harry couldn't blame her really. It wasn't everyday that you had four people appear out of thin air in front of you. He stood up and said to her 'Sorry about that. My name's Harry Potter, what's yours?'
'Carissa Lynn. P-pleased to meet y-you.' Carissa said nervously. Still shocked at this older boy just appearing in front of her.
Harry noticed that she had in her hand the sorting hat. Then he looked around the hall and saw that everyone was as shocked as Carissa seemed to be. All except for Professor Dumbledore that was. Dumbledore calmly said 'Ah, Mr. Potter. We were worried about you and your friends. Please, will you and your friends take a seat at Gryffindor table. And please don't forget that I would like to see you in my office after the feast.' To Professor McGonagall he said 'On with the sorting please Professor.'
Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny all turned red as every eye in the Hall followed them until they had taken their seats at the Gryffindor table. When they were seated, Fred whispered down 'Another great entrance Harry. What happened by the way?'
The only response he got back was a very embarrassed 'Tell you later' from Harry
The rest of the sorting went fairly quietly. Harry finished what he was going to eat for the day and looked down the table at some of the new first years. There was Imogen sitting talking animatedly to Ginny
About their mutual love of sock stealing, Harry mentally told himself to very keep a close eye on his socks because of that. Then there was Paula, who was talking to some second years about her favourite band the Beatles, she had had Fred and Georges attention for a while until they worked out that she was just talking about a Muggle band, and not real beetles. There was also this one girl sitting down at the end of the gryffindor table, the odd thing about her was that she carried a battle axe on her. She also seemed to send of a vibe to all of the guys that if they pissed her off, she knew how to use the axe very well. When Harry asked George who it was he said 'Her names Airewen, she seems a rough type doesn't she. I think I'm going to have to watch my valuables around her'
'Yeah. She looks like if I touch her wrong she'll chop my head off'
The rest of the feast went along pretty quietly after that. The four of them were pretty tired as they climbed the staircases until they were in front of the gargoyle that guarded the Headmasters office. The door was already open since they were expected. Once they had knocked on the door at the top they entered and got a massive surprise because inside was ……
A/N I'm sorry to leave that there but I though that if I continued it would become too long.
Now before anyone starts berating me about Harry apparating into Hogwarts I'll say that he didn't Apparate, He Molecularised. Which as Hermione said can be done onto Hogwarts grounds.

'I've read a bit about it. It said in "Hogwarts: a History" that you can Molecularise into Hogwarts. Although not many Witches or Wizards have been capable of doing it. Why do you ask?' was her reply
'Well this annoying voice in my head keeps telling me to use it to travel to Hogwarts.' Came Harry's response
'Hermione. Harry just kicked You-know-who's butt. You'd think in this case he'd actually be able to use this.' Ron said to Hermione irritably
'Yeah well I guess we could give it a try. The worst that can happen is that our bodies could merge together. But, as you say, Harry has shown a great amount of power tonight. I think it's currently our only choice and we should try it.' Hermione said
Harry and Ginny agreed and soon they were standing in a circle, holding hands. Harry, with his wand in the hand he shared with Ginny. Because he didn't know if the power that he had felt before was still inside him he started a 'power-share' between himself and Ron. This time he kept a close eye on Ron before stopped the flow of power, this he did when Ron started to look sick. He then did the same with Hermione.
After doing this he felt that he had enough power to use the Molecularization Spell. He gripped his wand harder and said 'Molecularisus Hogwarts'
Nothing happened for a while. Then their bodies started to dis- intagrate and start to swirl around. Suddenly they saw a flash and they were lying in the great hall in a crumpled heap. In front of a first year that was currently screaming her head off. Harry couldn't blame her really. It wasn't everyday that you had four people appear out of thin air in front of you. He stood up and said to her 'Sorry about that. My name's Harry Potter, what's yours?'
'Carissa Lynn. P-pleased to meet y-you.' Carissa said nervously. Still shocked at this older boy just appearing in front of her.
Harry noticed that she had in her hand the sorting hat. Then he looked around the hall and saw that everyone was as shocked as Carissa seemed to be. All except for Professor Dumbledore that was. Dumbledore calmly said 'Ah, Mr. Potter. We were worried about you and your friends. Please, will you and your friends take a seat at Gryffindor table. And please don't forget that I would like to see you in my office after the feast.' To Professor McGonagall he said 'On with the sorting please Professor.'
Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny all turned red as every eye in the Hall followed them until they had taken their seats at the Gryffindor table. When they were seated, Fred whispered down 'Another great entrance Harry. What happened by the way?'
The only response he got back was a very embarrassed 'Tell you later' from Harry
The rest of the sorting went fairly quietly. Harry finished what he was going to eat for the day and looked down the table at some of the new first years. There was Imogen sitting talking animatedly to Ginny
About their mutual love of sock stealing, Harry mentally told himself to very keep a close eye on his socks because of that. Then there was Paula, who was talking to some second years about her favourite band the Beatles, she had had Fred and Georges attention for a while until they worked out that she was just talking about a Muggle band, and not real beetles. There was also this one girl sitting down at the end of the gryffindor table, the odd thing about her was that she carried a battle axe on her. She also seemed to send of a vibe to all of the guys that if they pissed her off, she knew how to use the axe very well. When Harry asked George who it was he said 'Her names Airewen, she seems a rough type doesn't she. I think I'm going to have to watch my valuables around her'
'Yeah. She looks like if I touch her wrong she'll chop my head off'
The rest of the feast went along pretty quietly after that. The four of them were pretty tired as they climbed the staircases until they were in front of the gargoyle that guarded the Headmasters office. The door was already open since they were expected. Once they had knocked on the door at the top they entered and got a massive surprise because inside was ……
A/N I'm sorry to leave that there but I though that if I continued it would become too long.
Now before anyone starts berating me about Harry apparating into Hogwarts I'll say that he didn't Apparate, He Molecularised. Which as Hermione said can be done onto Hogwarts grounds.
