Disclaimer: Do you REALLY think J.K. Rowling would waste time to write fanfiction on FF.Net when she has to write the 5th book? Obviously not, therefore, I am not her, and I don't own it or have any connections w/ those who do. No to suing me!
Note: I love you guys! I feel so lucky for having 4 reviews for 1 chapter! I can't believe it! Maybe I should get my eyes checked. LOL. VyingQuill (sp?): Yes, I know what happened to my 1st chapter, but I didn't put it like that. Thank you for noticing, though. Hopefully, it'll be better with this one. On to the story! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry blinked and turned back out to the window, but this time, Dumbledore was not alone; standing next to him was none other than Professor McGonagall.
Harry turned back to Sirius, surprised to see him not quite so happy.
"Why are Dumbledore and McGonagall here?" Harry whispered.
"Ugh! Either to give me more instructions or to take you back to Hogwarts!"
"Why would I go back so earl-" Harry began, but was cut off by two popping noises and both professors in the room.
"Ah, Sirius, I see you got in with little trouble?" asked Dumbledore.
"Yes. Harry and I wonder why you are here, Professors."
Dumbledore looked over at Harry, eyes twinkling. But it was McGonagall who answered.
"Well, it was Albus - er, Headmaster Dumbledore - who suggested we bring Harry with us to Hogwarts early."
"Why?" Harry asked, puzzled.
"Well...."
"Yes, Albus, Minerva, I wonder the same," Sirius commented.
"Well, don't panic, but Severus - er, Professor Snape - has warned us that only at Hogwarts is Harry safe...." Dumbledore informed them.
"And," Professor McGonagall began, "I am sure this is good news to you, Sirius, but Cornelius Fudge was found today, dead, and -" but was interrupted by Harry.
"WHAT? How in Merlin's name is that good?" he shouted. He froze when he heard Vernon Dursley's low rumble and footsteps bounding angrily toward his room.
"Boy! You won't eat for a week if you woke the neighbors!" he bellowed.
Harry was frozen to the spot when Vernon wiggled the doorknob, then stopped when he heard the voice of Dudley, Vernon's son, Harry's cousin, ask from a distance, "Father? What's going on?"
"Nothing, son, now get back to bed while I punish the boy for waking the whole house!" Vernon opened the door with a gasp. He did not expect to see the others in Harry's bedroom also. "BOY!" Vernon yelled in such a voice that would wake the dead if Harry didn't already do it, "WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT HAVING FREAKS IN THE HOUSE?" he bellowed, thumping toward Harry's frozen body, raising his hand, and before he knew it, Sirius grabbed Harry's wand, stood in front of Harry, and shouted "Stupify!".
Harry couldn't believe it. In a matter of seconds, Harry went from about to be hit, to watching Vernon's purple face freeze, dropping backward to the ground, stunned. He just couldn't believe it! His godfather had stepped in, risking being hit, and saved him, using the one charm Harry had wanted to use on Vernon Dursley forever. He still stood, his feet unable to move when he felt a warm hand touch his shoulder. Harry looked up to see Sirius smiling.
"Come on, Harry, we should get your stuff."
Just then, in flew an old owl, known as Eroll. Harry grabbed the barely conscious bird and removed the note.
Harry- I'm afraid not everything's going well. Just got an owl from Dumbledore saying that we have to come to Hogwarts early. Something about you, Hermione, and me. Says we aren't safe anymore. Wonder what that means.
As Harry read the next part, he blushed crimson.
When are you going to tell Hermione, man? You know she feels the same way about you. Well, write back and send it with Eroll once he gets better. Either that or send Hedwig. -Ron
When he finished, he hadn't expected to see his godfather to be dancing around the room, chanting "Harry and Hermione, sitting in a tree, K- I-S-S-I-N-G!"
Harry turned to Dumbledore, asking, "How will we get there so early so easily?"
"Easily?" asked Dumbledore, his eyes twinkling. "It will be much easier once we leave and then I will explain it." As he turned to leave, Sirius turned back into a dog. "Oh, by the way, Sirius, you have been pardoned. That's what we were trying to say."
Relief washed over both Sirius and Harry; this would make everything so much easier for all of them. Before Sirius changed back to a man, Harry had a question.
"Um, Professor?"
"Yes, Harry?" they both asked.
"What is going on? Why do we have to leave to Hogwarts so early?"
Dumbledore and McGonagall both tensed, looking from the other to Harry and back again.
"Well, Harry." McGonagall began, looking to Dumbledore, who nodded, signaling her to continue. "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is becoming even more powerful and trying to find you.
"We found and questioned Peter Pettigrew."
Harry noticed Sirius was in man-form again, his teeth clenched tightly.
"He is now in Azkaban, awaiting the Dementor's Kiss."
"So that's why I was pardoned.... They found the bastard and he confessed. Good for the spineless jackal!"
Harry stared at him in shock. He had never expected to hear that from Sirius, but then again, had. Then he recovered. "Um, Professor Dumbledore?"
Dumbledore turned to face him. "Yes, Harry?"
"Er, how are we getting there?"
"Floo Powder, Harry; Floo Powder," he replied, smiling.
Just then, Harry froze, hearing Petunia's worried voice and the door opening. "Don't you think you've disciplined him enough, and what's going on in there?"

Oh yeah. Review. You've gotta if you want an extra chapter. Now, I know this is pretty boring so far, I'm sorry, but I promise it'll be more exciting soon.
