Harry Potter Book Six

The Masters of the Phoenix

Chapter 2

Going to Hogwarts

(Oops I almost forgot, Harry Potter and the Characters AND the concept of book five, AND WHATEVER ELSE I'M MISSING OF IN TERMS OF INFO BELONGS TO NONE OTHER THAN J.K ROWLING! (cough, cough!) there HAPPY! But hey this story is MINE! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (COUGH! COUGH!) I really go to stop doing that)

Harry spent the rest of his summer at the burrow with Ron and Hermione. They couldn't go on the road trip again because the car needed fixing. Harry didn't mind though, it was rather fun watching George and Fred invent prank stuff, and Percy having a fit and reminding them of his smashed trophy. Ginny was feeling a lot better after her mother took care of her, and Mr. Weasley was busy fixing his car.

It was two days until Harry and his friends were back on the train to Hogwarts for new lessons and new adventures. Ron and Hermione were waiting for Harry at the front door.

"MUM! WE'RE LEAVING!" Ron shouted.

"TAKE GINNY WITH YOU!" Mrs. Weasley shouted from the kitchen.

Ginny was sitting on the stairs sheepishly smiling at his annoyed brother Ron. "Ugh. Fine you can come." he growled. Ginny made a big smile.

Suddenly Harry ran down the stairs. He had on a regular blue T-shirt and black jeans. Ron was wearing a black T-shirt and blue jeans, and Hermione was wearing a brown skirt and a white shirt. Ginny had on a pink shirt with a baby blue skirt.

"Are you ready?" Harry asked out of breath.

"Yes. Hey Ron-" Hermione called.

"-Yeah"

"Aren't we using floo powder?"

"We ran out, and my mum forgot to buy some so my dad's finished fixing the car and offered to drive us."

Harry and Ginny were too scared to drive in a car with Mr. Weasley after the crash.

"Don't worry, my dad's cautious now! Besides that broken leg taught him to be careful on the road AND in the air," Ron reassured.

The door swung open and Mr. Weasley stood there with a big fat smile on his freckled face. "Well guys are you ready to go?"

Everyone slightly nodded still a little shaken up by Arthur Weasley's driving.

"Alright! EVERYONE IN THE CAR!" Arthur said excitedly.

~*~

Everyone was in the air conditioned car looking out the window and praying that they make it to Diagon Alley alive! Arthur decided to drive on the road since he didn't fix the flying part of the car.

Harry was relieved that Arthur decided not to fly in the air, the view on the road was fine enough.

"So let's see. We need The Standard Book of Spells Grade 6, Brewing the ultimate potions (A beginner's guide), Defence Against the Dark Arts Grade 6, Beyond the stars Grade 6, A guide to Transfiguration edition 6, The nature of things book six, Care of Magical Creatures Grade 6, Hogwarts A history Grade 6, and of course for me The world of Arithmacy book 6," Hermione said. "Oh wait there's one more."

Harry was too busy remembering all the books he needed for class for his sixth year he didn't even hear what Hermione said about the last book.

"WOW! DID YOU HEAR THAT HARRY!" Ron shouted.

Harry was still staring out the window wondering about his sixth year. It was the first time Harry was afraid to return to the wizard world because his enemy Lord Voldemort still continued to rise into power! It was only a matter of time until Voldemort reins the dark side again.

"Harry? Harry what's wrong?" Hermione called.

Harry still didn't pay attention, his eyes were fixed on the passing stores but his mind was somewhere else. His scar wasn't reacting. Perhaps Voldemort would not return to power. Or worse maybe the scar wasn't 'working' to warn Harry of danger.

"Harry are you listening?" Ron said a little worried.

Maybe it's time to write Sirius a letter, Harry thought. He was extremely worried, his scar wasn't alerting him of danger, but Harry still felt a feeling of fear in his heart like he was walking into danger.

Finally Ron tapped Harry on the shoulder. He flinched and looked at Ron.

"Sorry. What were you saying?" Harry asked in a tired voice.

"Harry are you all right?" Hermione asked. Harry looked at her. Her eyes were concerned, perhaps she knew what Harry was thinking about. "Wha?.. Oh! Sorry I was just thinking about something," Harry answered. He looked at Ron. "What. were you saying Ron?"

Ron gave him a peculiar look. "Are you feeling all right?" he asked.

"Yes, I'm fine."

"Ok. Well, you wouldn't believe what book we're getting! It's called The Quidditch Student Tournament! WE'RE LEARNING QUIDDITCH HARRY!" Ron shouted excitedly.

Harry's heart skipped a beat.

"It says here on the paper that the Quidditch book teaches you the rules, even cheats like the Wronski Feint!" Hermione added.

"I. I can't believe it!" Harry said with disbelief.

"It's true! Maybe I'll sign up as beater since Fred and George are gone!" Ron said.

"I want to be a chaser!" Hermione added.

"I wanna be a chaser too!" Ginny replied.

"Harry?" they all called.

Ever since Harry was the coach of the Gryffindor Quidditch team he is put under a lot of pressure to train the team. It seems tough, but accepting his friends is harder.

"Um." Harry couldn't bare to answer.

What if his friends did not have what it takes? Now he has to decide between his friends and the reputation of the team.

"I have to see you guys in action before I can make a decision," Harry finally answered.

Everyone nodded and went back to their conversation about the Quidditch course. Harry took a deep breath. 'Phew' he whispered.

"What was that?" Ron asked Harry.

"Nothing! Absolutely Nothing!" Harry answered.

~*~

Mr. Weasley finally made it to Diagon Alley. Everyone got out the car.

"Ok folks, I'll meet you back at this spot in 1 hour, it shouldn't take you that long to shop for your supplies. Have fun," Mr. Weasley directed. He got back into the car and drove off.

Ron ran over to the broom store. "Wow. The Firebolt XP5! It sounds so millennium don't you think?" he asked Harry.

"Yeah. It's beautiful!" Harry answered gawking at the broomstick.

"We only have ONE hour to do all our shopping! You can gawk at the broomstick once we FINISHED our school shopping!" Hermione hissed as she grabbed both of their collars.

Ron grabbed his collar away from her. "Come on Hermione don't be such a pussy foot! We'll have plenty of time to shop!" Ron growled.

Harry backed away, Hermione turned red.

"Pussy foot? PUSSY FOOT!? WHO ARE YOU CALLING A PUSSY FOOT!?" she snapped.

"It's true!" Ron hissed back.

"OH HONESTLY GROW UP RON!" Hermione yelled. She looked at Harry. "Let's go Harry, we don't need his company!"

"Well Harry's my best friend! You wouldn't leave me would you Harry?" Ron asked.

"But you're smart enough to shop with me now aren't you?" Hermione questioned.

"Smart? I'd say you'd be rather stupid walking in public with her!" Ron said hotly.

Harry stared at both of them wondering what to do. "Er. Ginny! Let's go!" he said. He grabbed her hand and ran off.

~*~

"WAIT! DON'T LEAVE ME WITH THIS WITCH!" Ron cried out.

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A. Oh."

Ron groaned. "SOME FRIEND YOU ARE HARRY!"

"YOU'LL THANK ME LATER!" Harry shouted from across the street, he continued to run off with Ginny.

Hermione watched Harry as he disappeared. "Well there's no reason in following him, let's just go. Harry will be fine."

"I'm not worried about Harry. I'm worried about myself!" Ron answered.

Hermione sighed. "I guess I'm just nuisance to you all the time aren't I?"

She walked off. Ron ran after her. "Wait don't leave! I was joking around! Come on Hermione SAY SOMETHING!"

~*~

Harry and Ginny were in the robe shop. "Well Ginny it's about time I got Ron a Christmas present don't you think?"

"But it's not even Christmas yet!" Ginny replied a little confused.

The store owner Mr. Williams finally came to the front desk. "May I help you son?"

"Yes, I'd like to buy a Gryffindor Quidditch robe, size large," Harry answered.

Mr. Williams smiled, "You must be the captain. Oh it's great to see a new face! I remember young Oliver Wood buying a Quidditch robe five years ago! He was so excited about finding a seeker, especially a first year!"

Ginny giggled. "Well that first year seeker is looking right at you!"

Harry blushed. The owner fixed his eyes upon Harry's lightning bolt shaped scar. "My goodness! You are James Potter's son! You played seeker?"

Harry nodded. "Yes. I did."

Ginny giggled again. "Don't be shy Harry!"

"Your father was the best seeker ever known in Quidditch Harry, and it's no surprise he handed the talent over to you! Well I best be getting your robe, best of luck to the Quidditch matches you have this year," Mr. Williams said merrily.

"Th, Thank you sir," Harry replied.

The store owner went to the back of the store to get the robe. Harry took a deep breath. "So are you excited to go back to Hogwarts this year?" he asked Ginny.

"Oh yeah! I want to become prefect like my brother Percy!" Ginny answered.

Harry smiled at her. "I betcha will become a prefect. Good luck to you then." Ginny blushed. "Thanks."

Mr. Williams came out with the scarlet coloured Gryffindor Quidditch robe. Harry paid him and handed the robe to Ginny. "Put that into the bag, I want to surprise Ron at home." Ginny giggled and did what Harry said.

"Bye sir, and thank you," Harry greeted.

"Any time Harry Potter! Goodbye little one," Mr. Williams said to both Harry and Ginny.

Harry was about to walk out the store until the store owner called to him again.

"Yes?"

"Harry, I must warn you, the sky looks peculiar today. Be careful," the owner said, he walked off to the back of the store. Harry stood at the door frozen. "The sky?" he looked up at the sky, it had a smoky grey colour now. "That's odd." he said to himself.

"HARRY!" Ginny called. Harry looked back at her. "Are you ok? You look as if you've seen a ghost!" Ginny asked.

Harry shook his head. "No, I'm fine. Let's go get our books."

~*~

An hour later Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny met back at the spot where Ron's father left them.

"I think it's going to rain.." Hermione said to Ginny. Ron and Harry looked at the sky.

"The sky looks. peculiar?" Harry mumbled.

"It does doesn't it. Something's going to happen," Hermione interrupted. Harry looked at her with his brilliant green eyes. Even Hermione thinks something is going to happen Harry thought.

"Come to think of it." Ron started to say, he paused. "You'd think it would start raining," he added.

Ginny looked up at the sky. "That's true. Where is the rain?"

Harry had an uneasy feeling in his heart. Something definitely was going to happen he thought. His thoughts were interrupted by the honk of Arthur Weasley's car.

He stopped right in front of Harry and the gang. Hermione, Ron, and Harry sat at the back, while Ginny who was still giggling about the surprise for Ron sat at the front.

"So did you get everything Harry?" Ron asked.

"Yeah, what about you two?" Harry replied.

Ron chuckled. "Hermione and I made a bet, if we finish our shopping before the hour is over I get to go to the broomstick store, if we finished shopping on time or late then Hermione gets to sit in the front seat of the car. Well guess who won?"

Hermione sighed. "I spent 20 minutes looking at a hovering broomstick," she groaned.

"That's not an ORDINARY hovering broomstick Hermione! It's the Firebolt XP5!" Ron argued.

"Whatever Ron. What. ever," Hermione replied.

Harry rested his head on the back seat and looked out the window. "Peculiar sky." he started to drift into a deep sleep, all the passing buildings started to fade as Harry closed his eyes.

In his dream

Harry looked around, and saw everyone from Hogwarts crowding a corps and someone in a black cape who was on their knees. Suddenly Harry's scar started hurting him. He looked to his right and saw Dumbledore who looked very angry.

"Professor?. (his scar started hurting again) What's going. ah. on?" Harry asked.

Professor Dumbledore didn't answer, he just looked at the corps. Finally all the teachers got out their wand and pointed it at the sky. Then, all Harry saw was a flash of green light!

"HARRY!"

*

Harry opened his eyes.

"Harry? Come on. We're home," Ron said shaking him from his sleep.

Harry got out of the car still a little dizzy, Ron helped him into the house. "Something wrong Harry?" Ron asked.

"I had another dream." Harry answered. Hermione and Ginny turned around and looked at Harry in shock.

"Another one? What was it about?" Hermione asked.

Ron helped Harry to the couch. "I was at Hogwarts. Everyone was standing at a field. I think it was a Quidditch field, they all were looking down at a corps and a dark figure who was on its knees. I couldn't really tell who it was it had a black robe on with a hood, I think it was Vol- You-Know-Who. Then all the teachers got out the wand and pointed it to the sky, then all I saw after was a flash of green light hurtling towards me," Harry told them.

Hermione gasped.

"You don't think that could be."

"Yes Hermione. It was the Avada Kedabra Curse. I think it's come back to haunt me," Harry answered a little shaken up.
