Chapter 2 On the way to Hogwarts

The next day Harry Ron and Hermione finally got some time to talk. "Hermione I've been meaning to ask. What in the world did you do to your hair" ,asked Harry. "I cut it and it's growing out strait like it?" "Yeah it's nice. So how was Vicky's house Mione" ,said Ron innocently. "Fine his mother was nice and so was his father his sister too. But the problem was him he got so annoying. Quidditch this and Quidditch that my god he's worse then you two on your worst days" ,said Hermione rolling her eyes. "Wow worse then us you must have gotten bored the first day" ,said Harry petting Madison while Ron kept dancing around the room behind Hermione. "Yes I did and I went home the first week" ,Hermione turning around and glaring at Ron. "Sorry Mione" ,said Ron sitting down. "Harry how's your summer been" ,said Hermione while still glaring at Ron. "Good the Dursleys told me never to come back ". "Well what are you going to do next summer" ,asked Ron. "I don't know I'll talk to Dumbledore or something." "Ok you know you can always stay with one of us" ,said Hermione getting up and going to the door. "Where are you going" ,asked Ron getting up to follow her. "I need to talk to Ginny" ,said Hermione shutting the door. "So what do you want to do today" ,asked Ron sitting back down. "What is there to do around here" ,asked Harry. "We could play chess or exploding snap or we could go to Diagon Alley or Godrics Hollow... opps" ,said Ron clapping his hand over his mouth. "What" ,yelled Harry getting up suddenly and knocking Madison off his lap. "We weren't supposed to tell you about that" ,said Ron. "What do you mean can we go there" ,said Harry pacing the room. "Its a wizarding city like Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley" ,said Ron cowering at the look Harry gave him . "Ok lets go" ,said Harry walking toward the door. "Harry we can't go there" ,said Ron blocking the doorway. "And why not." "Because your Harry Potter you can't go back to that place" ,said Ron his courage slipping farther away with every word. "I'm going you can stay." "Fine but we can't tell anyone or I'm grounded for the rest of my life" ,said Ron giving in. Forty minutes later they were walking through Godrics Hollow. "Is that him." "My god why is he here." "Look over there the kid in the blue shirt next to the redhead." "So should I be thinking up a speech" ,said Harry to Ron as they sat down in front of a cafe'. "No we should leave its getting late" ,said Ron who had been saying the same thing for the past thirty minutes. "No I need to see something first if we don't find it by lunch we leave ok" ,said Harry getting up. Twenty minutes later they found it. It was a grave yard. "Harry what are we doing here" ,said a very tired Ron. "Guess" ,said Harry looking at the names on the tombstones. "Please Harry I know where they're buried and its not here." "Then where. Where are they." "Hogwarts they were buried in the Hogwarts cemetery." "There's a cemetery at Hogwarts." "Yes its behind the Quidditch Pitch it has a spell on it so you can't see it unless you know it's there." "Great so the place I've been wondering about is right behind the Quidditch pitch." Harry was so upset with everyone when he got back that he refused to eat dinner. The next day everyone went to Diagon Alley to get their stuff. "Harry what's wrong" ,asked Ginny as they got their books. "Nothing I've just been thinking about my parents a lot lately" ,said Harry looking at his supply list. "Oh. So how's Snuffles" ,asked Ginny as innocently as possible. "How in the world do you know about him" ,said Harry turning to look at her. "Oh please Harry you three are always whispering about Snuffles so when you left the room with him during your party I followed you to see who this Snuffles was" ,said Ginny handing him one of the books he needed. "He's fine as far as I know" ,said Harry grabbing the book and going up to the register. "Harry. Um... can I hang out with you guys this year. You see I asked Ron and he said no. Then I asked Hermione and she said yes so." "So you want me to be tie-breaker" ,said Harry smiling, "yeah, I guess. On one condition." "What" ,asked Ginny trying to guess what it possibly could be. "You have to try out for the Quidditch team this year deal." "Deal." The next few weeks were the best weeks of the summer for Harry. Ron, Hermione, and Harry told Ginny everything about their previous years at Hogwarts. Everything that is except what happened during the third task. Harry wasn't about to relive it voluntarily. It was a week before they had to leave for Hogwarts when Harry got a letter from Sirius.

Dear Harry, I can't tell you where I am but I can tell you that I know where Wormtail is and I'll be able to get him by September 1st. Sorry I can't see you off but I'm pretty sure I've got him this time. Hope to see you soon. Snuffles

"Hope he's right" ,said Harry handing Ron the letter who had both girls reading over his shoulder. "So do we" ,said Ron handing the letter to the girls "I got an idea" ,said Ginny looking up from the letter. "Wormtail knows about Snuffles in his animagus form so he can't disguise himself that way so lets send him a disguise."

"Ginny repeat that in our language" ,said Ron looking at her like she was crazy. "Why don't we send him Harry's cloak." "Is he cold" ,said Ron rereading the letter". Ginny and Hermione rolled their eyes while Harry tried not to laugh. "Ron the other cloak" ,said Hermione rolling her eyes again. "Oh, that" ,said Ron blushing. "Lets send him some food too" ,said Hermione starting towards the kitchen. After they got enough food and found a box the four of them went up to Ron's room. "Harry we can't use Hedwig she's to obvious and we can't use Hermes or Earl because he lived here we got them and we can't use pig he's to small" ,said Ron speaking what everyone was thinking. "We could use a post owl" ,said Hermione hopefully. "Good idea but we need my parents help to do that. If not we have to wait until the first Hogsmeade visit" ,said Ginny. "I know your mom knows but dose your dad" ,asked Harry sitting down on Ron's bed. "Yeah he knows the whole family does" ,said Ron. "Ok lets go asked them" ,said Hermione. A week later found the for teens being waken up at an unearthly hour. "Mum why so early we don't have to be there for hours" ,said Ron when the got downstairs. "We have to walk for a few hours then take a muggle bus to get there" ,said Mrs. Weasley. "Why" ,asked Ginny. "Security measures dear" ,said Mr. Weasley who had just walked in, "everyone is being asked to use as little magic as possible to get to King's Cross this year there are several protection wards around the station this year." Many hours later they finally found themselves boarding the Hogwarts Express. "Bye mum bye dad" ,said Ginny hugging them both. "Be good this year you two and please at least try to get good marks on the NEWTs this year" ,said Mrs. Weasley to the twins who were laughing about something, "and you three. Keep out of danger this year and if you do find trouble keep Ginny out of it. "Yes mum we promise to try and keep Ginny out of it" ,said Ron getting on the train. "Ron that's not what I said" ,yelled Mrs. Weasley but Ron was already gone. "Bye Mrs. Weasley we promise to write" ,said Harry and Hermione getting on the train. "Bye dears" ,yelled Mrs. Weasley. "Be good" ,yelled Mr. Weasley.
