"Hey, it was too quiet, so I asked a Percy question"
"A Percy Question?"
"You know those really annoying questions that annoyingly smart people memorize the answers....to.... sorry Miony" Ron said while Hermione glared at him
Tthe Carrige stopped infront of Hogwarts and all the students climbed out and Harry noticed the same red headed girl from the train, Alex, jump out of the carrige in front of Harry's and hug one of the teachers yelling "REMMIE!"
"A student hugging a teacher, thats not something you see everyday, but I'm sure Hermione would want to hug Lock- OW!" Hermione had jabbed Ron hard in the ribs. Harry hadn't noticed this, he was looking around at the somewhat spooky looking castle, he had always felt like this was home, but right now he wanted to get back on the train and go back to the Dursleys.
"Harry are you alright?" Hermione asked cautiously
"Huh? Oh yeah sorry.... I'm okay" Harry said
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Is it just me or are there more teachers here this year?" Ron said as they entered the great hall
"They aren't all teachers, see, Mad-eye Moody's here, I'm sure he isn't a teacher, Hey look! Professor Lupin's back," She lowered her voice "Isn't that Sirius?" she said pointing to a shaggy black dog next to Dumbledore
"Yeah...." Harry said tonelessly, not even seeming excited about it
Ron put down his fork, "Okay whats wrong? this is getting annoying, whats wrong!"
"Nothing, really Ron, I'm just sort of tired"
"The sorting hasn't even started yet! come on Harry stay!" Hermione said, in hopes of cheering him up
"I'M TIRED!" He half-yelled and left the Great Hall as everyone stared at him, including the teachers.
"Aurora Sage" Harry said blankly to the Fat Lady, Hermione had told him the password over the summer. Harry walked into the common room and went straight upstairs, instead of making him happy like hogwarts usually did, it made him angry, he wanted just to destroy it and leave. Horrible ideas going around in his mind, Harry fell asleep.
In the Middle of the night Harry was awoken by the sound of a guitar. Angry, Harry went downstairs to tell the person to shut up and let him sleep.
"Will you shut up, some people are trying to sleep!"
"J- Harry! you scared me," Alex said looking up from her guitar, her friend tierney was next to her singing."oh yeah sorry bout the guitar, I sorta havent played for a while and-"-a dog that was sleeping next to the fireplace barked-"Oh Shut UP Sirius!" Harry and Alex both said, Alex's eyes became wide and she ran upstairs.
"Quidditch Practice tomorrow!" Tierney said excitedly
"Yeah sure whatever" Harry said, a yell that had a hint of laughter in it was heard from the girls dorm and next minute Alex and Melanie came downstairs, said "Mako Squall!" and left again, along with Tierney.
Shaking off the peculiarity of what just happened, Harry sat down in a chair next to the fire.
"Hey Sirius" Harry said in the blank tone he had been using the entire night.
Sirius transformed into his normal self.
"Oh gee thanks for telling me to shut up" Sirius said, smiling, he no longer looked like the skeleton with filthy matted hair, but he looked alot like the handsome man that was laughing hysterically at Lily and James Potter's wedding.
"Sirius, I'm not in the mood" Harry said, staring at the fire
"I saw that at the feast, I was just talking to that girl, Alex, she was worried" Sirius said calmly
"Okay all of a sudden everythings about her huh?" Harry snapped
"Wow slow down James" Sirius said jokingly
"SIRIUS SHUT UP!" Harry hated being reminded of his parents when he was in a bad mood
"Sorry Harry," Sirius said apologetically "So, whats up?"
"It's nothing" Harry said, still staring at the fire
"according to all the Potters I hung around with lets see... you would say nothing then jump into this huge-" Sirius Began
"It's about what happened last year, you know, before that I would always be happy to come here, now, I just want to destroy this castle and everything in it"
Sirius looked really worried "Harry, what happened last year wasn't your fault you couldn't have stop-"
"It wasn't my fault Sirius? If I wasn't in the triwizard tournament Cedric wouldn't have died and Voldemort wouldn't be strong again!"
"Harry, Harry, Har-"
"Don't say Harry, you'll sound like Lockhart" Harry said, laughing a little to himself
"Harry, you couldn't have prevented that, I mean, thats like saying if James didn't marry Lily she wouldn't be dead,"
"But one good thing came out of that, Voldemort was destroyed, anything good come out of this? no."
"Harry this is the exact opposite of that night,"
"You can say that again"
"In the way that" Sirius continued, in a tone that tried to show Harry it wasn't what he was thinking "Voldemort was destroyed then and I was put in Azkaban, this time..." Harry listened, was Sirius saying that he was free? "Voldemort is strong again, but I have a better chance of getting free, I'm not supposed to tell you this, but Snape is a spy for Dumbledore-"
Another laughter scream from upstairs "SMARTLEWINDOW!" said the voices
"Anyway..." Sirius continued "Even though I dont trust him, he'll be able to get enough proof that I am innocent, even though he Seriously doesn't want to... er- no pun intended"
Harry laughed
"Now get up to bed, you have Quidditch practice tomorrow, oh and a quidditch hint from James, if you lose a game, DONT snap your broom in half."
"My Dad snapped his broom in half?"
"Many times, it helped though that the Potter family owned half the WORLD and could easily buy new brooms, how he became head boy is beyond me."
Harry smiled, and went back upstairs to bed.
