Chapter 6 Powers, party's, and unspoken WhisperS
Harry streched, it has been at least three hours since they had left Hogwarts for the summer .. or for good. Ron was laying asleep his mouth slightly ajar, snoring loudly.
Harry was tempted to hit Ron on the head with a book, but ... thought better of it just in case.
He had talked to Sirius earlier, just to make sure that he was going to live with him. And thankfully, the letter came just before he left with an answer. No more Dursley's, Harry smiled, for hopefully the rest of his life!
Then all of a sudden Harry smacked Ron on the shoulder, he jerked to life rubbing his shoulder.
"Whatswasthatfor?" He asked sleepily.
"You can come over for the summer if you want, with me and Sirius" Harry said, grinning at him.
"Really?" Ron asked astounded, now fully awake.
Harry nodded, "Of course! Geez you think I would leave you all alone with Percy and the twins?"
"Well ... I guess not, but hey sure I'll come. Are you sure it's okay with Sirius though? I don't want to make him mad"
"Yes your allowed Ron, I owled him before and he gave me a go for it. Then of course, you both can get over Hermonie and Charlotte" Harry said rolling his eyes.
Just then the compartment door opened, Lavender stepped in. Her face was slightly flushed, and was grinning happily.
"Hi guys, guess what?" Lavender beamed.
"Hey"
"what?"
"Im having a party during the summer, and you two can come if you want. My parents are going to be out of town for a couple weeks, it will be in two weeks on Friday. January fifthteenth, so well you come?" Lavender asked, all in one breath.
"Ahh." Harry and Ron looked at each other, Ron grinned.
"Sure I guess, I'll keep in contact with you and tell you later" Harry shrugged, he was sure Sirius would let him go after all it would help them get over Charlotte and Hermonie.
After Lavender left, they started planning on what they were going to do for the summer.
"So when am I allowed over?"
"As soon as you want, tommarow even"
"Great, because today im getting my lisence. I finally got my mom to agree, you don't know how long it took me!"
" ... No I couldn't possibly ... that might be because I never knew you were getting your lisence in the first place!" Harry said, rolling his eyes.
"Well ... So I forgot..." Ron trailed off, trying to look innocent.
Harry was about to remark how he could've forgotten when the door opened, assmuing it was lavender again he pluncked back into his seat.
"Ahh so Weasel and Potter, they finally got a girlfriend... oh wait! I forgot they died, they must have killed themselves. Can't say I blame them, I would have to." A cold voice remarked from the doorway, there was a couple sniggers.
Harry looked up, Draco was standing there with Crabbe and Goyle, with Alex standing awkwardly off to the side.
"How would you know Draco? You never had a girlfriend, and probably never will" Harry said twice as coldly back, Draco's eyes twinkled.
"I do, Pansy Parkasin" Draco smirked.
Harry and Ron snorted with laughter, Crabbe and Goyle started forward cracking their knuckles.
Draco flung out his arm to stop them, surprisingly enough. His smirk grew, shaking his head he sighed.
"Don't want to hurt Potter ... too much. Must save him for Lord Voldemort, remember?" Draco told the over large Crabbe and Goyle, relectunly their arms went to their side.
"Now now I said Potter, not the Weasel!"
Ron quickly stood up, as they two smiled wickedly. Harry on the other hand, had already stood up.
"Get a life Draco, your using muscles over brains" Harry replyed coldly, he slipped his wand up his cloak sleeve.
Draco c0cked his eyebrow, he looked at his wand which was sticking partly out of his cloak pocket. Looking at it for a moment, he spun around on his heel and walked out of the room slamming the compartment door behind him, leaving Crabbe and Goyle.
Ron cursed under his breath, remebering his wand in the trunk.
Harry frantically slid his wand into his hand, but was not quick enough. He heard a sicking crunch, as Goyle's fist collieded with his jaw.
Harry was thrown to the ground, so maybe all that weight wasn't just fat.
Ron was quickly doging blows, but soon one contacted with his stomach and he doubled over in pain. Crabbe wasting no time, smashed his fist on Ron's back sending him sprawling onto the floor. Harry quickly got up, holding onto his jaw. And ducked just intime to miss a blow from Goyle, which no doubt would've knocked him uncouisess.
He grabbed his wand and aimed it at Goyle, binding him to the ground Harry was now free to help Ron.
Turning around, his face came within a couple inches of a wand, Draco's wand infact. His familiar face, was grim and the lines of his face were screwed up as if he was resisting the temptation of laughing in his face.
He mouthed a couple words, no sound came out of his throat it was as if all was quite. No moans coming from Ron, no sounds of the compartment door opening and Professer Lupin yelling at Draco and grabbing his wand, and then pointing it at him. Harry felt something trigger in the back of his mind, his hearing came back sharper Lupins voice came louder, his brown eyes appeared in his line of sight, full of concern and worry.
His vision came a sudden swirl of yellow and gray, his eyes felt as if they were falling out. Pain erupted from them, feeling as if he was slowly dieing in agony.
Draco fell to the floor, his eyes wide open in agony he still breathing though, barely.
Harry was flung back from impact, landing on the floor half sitting up. People appeared in the doorway, none on who Harry regonized. They rushed over to Draco and Ron, then took them out on a strecher. Students trying to see what was going on, were pushed back.
Dumbledore stepped into the room, and shut the door behind him.
He knelt down in front of Harry and grabbed his hands, speaking quietly to him, Lupin stood behind Dumbledore staring at Harry in shock.
Harry not clearly hearing the words, with his eyes half close he couldn't regonize who was talking to him. Harry muttered something, not eligible for anyone to understand, between the gasps of air he was taking.
He felt a hand on his shoulder, he tried to shake it off but he was too weak, he couldn't feel any of his bones in his body. There was voice swimming around in his heads, regonizing them as his mothers. Harry tried to make sense, catching bits and pieces. "I can't belive you, James of all people!" Lily cried.
"I saw it Lily, it's true. I cannot belive it either, but the power consumed him. Voldemort saw the worth of having him, he's taken." Sirius's voice echoed in his head, along with the other noises, screams, cries of misery and moans.
"But we are going to do something, aren't we?" Lily begged, miserably.
"We'll try ."
Harry's vision swam back into focus, and his hearing cleared.
"Where am I?" Harry groaned, he was unable to feel his body it was as if it wasn't there. There was some shuffling, then a friendly but yet grave face appeared.
"At my house" Sirius said softly, ruffling Harry's hair softly. Harry bit his lip from screaming out in pain, it was so intense it was as if growing back all of his bones again like the second year.
Seeing Harrys face contracted in pain, Sirius quickly grabbed a potion on the nightstand table. He cupped Harry's chin with his hand, and lifted the bottle up and poured some potion into his mouth.
The pain eased off slightly, Harry relaxed slightly. Sirius grinned feebly, and placed his hand on Harry's forehead.
"Sorry bud, I forgot how painful it could be. Though this would no doubt, be a lot more then your parents had to go through." Sirius said softly, speaking the last part to himself.
"My parents?" Harry asked, his voice shaking slightly from the power of the potion.
Sirius's face darkened, and shook his head slightly. He stared at Harry,
" . never mind, I was talking to myself." Sirius said slowly, as if thinking of something. Then being brought back to earth, he picked up the potion and dissapeared from view, sounds could be heard coming from the kitchen.
Harry propped himself up with his elbows, and looked around. He was in the living room, and the couch next to his looked slept in. Magazines were scattered all over the room, and dishes were piled up on the table beside the couch.
Harry gazzed at the pictures on the walls, his parents looked so happy. They didn't know they were going to die sooner then expected, or how much they were going to be missed.
"You look just like James, you know. And act almost identical to him as well, but you have the strength of both Lily and James inside of you." A voice whispered in his ear, Harry quickly looked behind him, no one was there.
"Harry?" Sirius asked looking at him confused, he was leaning against the doorframe of where it connects from the kitchen and livingroom.
"Whats the matter?" Sirius asked, he sat down next to Harry.
"I-its nothing" Harry muttered, not wanting Sirius to think he belonged in a mental institute.
"Tell me" Sirius demanded.
"I said it was nothing, I thought I heard someone. But I was imagining it, is that good enough of a answer for you?" Harry snapped, his eyes changing couler slightly.
Sirius stared at him, then stood up.
"Harry, your eyes."
Harry looked at him bewildered "Whats wrong with my eyes?".
"Oh geez .." Sirius moaned, and hit his head with the palm of his hand. Harry stared at him.
"Harry go to sleep" Sirius ordered softly, but yet sternly.
"Why?" Harry asked suspicously.
"Just-.. argh!" Sirius took his wand. "Snelz" He muttered, Harry's eyes closed and he callasped on the couch. His chest rose up and down weakly, Sirius sighed and walked quickly over to the fireplace. Grabbing a bag, he scopped some powder out and threw it into the fireplace.
"Albus Dumbledore"
The familiar face of Dumbledore appeared, he smiled warmly when he saw Sirius. That smile quikly vanished, at the sight of Sirius's face.
"What happened?" Dumbledore asked quickly.
"It's began, Harry received his first charge of the power. The power that he unrelased during the train, most of freed it" Sirius rushed.
Dumbledore's face vanished, and there was a loud pop in the room.
Harry tossed restlessly in his sleep, mumbling unregonizable words. But not all the time was he like that, most of the time he would just lie there. Still as a person, frozen in time.
"Sirius" Harry murmerred.
"Im here, take it easy" Sirius mummered sleepily, he was resting with his eyes half open on a nearby arm chair, his arm lazily rested on Harrys arm.
Harry was placed upstairs in his bedroom, the curtains were drawn over the window for confidental reasons. There was small rays of light that slipped through the blinds, casting the room in a haunted dead look. Harry opened his eyes, and quickly sat up clutching his knees. The sudden movement took Sirius in surprise. Sirius snapped to attention, and stared at Harry, as if he was a ghost.
"Harry . your alright.." Sirius whispered, his hand rested on Harry's knee, over his hand. Harry stared at Sirius, mixed confusion and terror.
"Of course im alright, what am I doing here?!"
A smiled grew on his face, he wrapped his godson in a hug.
Harry chocked a little bit, Sirius quickly let go. His stomach rose and fell, painfully. It felt like a knife had stabbed him in the chest.
"I did it again, didn't I?"
Harry smiled weakly, he flung his legs over the end of the bed. And uncertainly stood up, his legs were quite heavy. But he never felt this much energy in his life. Sirius watched, smiling sadly. Remebering the times, when he and Remus had helped James out when he was like this to. They had helped each other out, when times were bad. Even sweared to be friends forever, until the bond was broken .
"How do you feel?" Sirius asked. Harry walked a few feet, he turned to face Sirius with a smile.
"Great, I feel like I had just jumped into a pool, after a hot day".
Sirius stood up, and grasped Harry's shoulder. And lead him out of the room. After getting lost several times they finally found the kitchen.
Remus had his back to them, with the newspaper in his hand. When he heard the kitchen door swing shut, he glanced up, he immediately put the newspaper down and threw it behind him, into a garbage bin.
"Harry, how do you feel? Up to something to eat are you?" Remus asked, quickly using magic to push two chairs over, for them to sit on.
Harry nodded, and sat down. Sirius sat across from him. While Remus chatted with Sirius, the same time as he levitated the food to the table, Harry stared at the newspaper. He could only make out a large dark mark sign, which floated errily above the newspaper.
"Two Harry?" Remus asked, interupting Harry's thoughts.
"Um . sure" Harry replyed, having no clue at all on what he was talking about. Remus put two sasages down on his plate, along with quite a bit of scrambled eggs.
"Could I see the newspaper?" Harry asked.
"There's nothing in it, just boring old stuff. Nothing you would be interested in." Remus said, trying not to let the guilt show on his face, which was shining right through.
There was a small silence, in which Sirius and Harry stared at him suspicously. Remus shook his head at Sirius. He finally caught on.
"Just concentrate on finishing your breakfast, Harry" Sirius said. Harry shot both Remus and Sirius a look, then took a bite of his sasuge. Somehow he would have to find out what was in the newspaper, maybe when they weren't around.
"How about inviting Alex, over the summer? Since you already invitied Ron, and maybe Hermonie as well. It could take your mind off things" Sirius said not thinking. Remus coughed.
"Hermonie's dead, remember?" Harry said bluntly. Sirius turned pale.
"Im so sorry, I wasn't thinking."
"And Alex, well . let's just say we're not exactly friends anymore. He became a Slytherin, and well you know what happens when people are sorted into Slytherin."
Remus coughed yet again.
"Do you think your up to it, if Ron came over today?" Remus asked.
A loud car engine was heard parking in the driveway, Harry rolled his eyes, no doubt Ron. He threw the book that he was reading on the floor, and ran downstairs. Almost tripping Remus on the way, he swung open the door. Ron's hand was posed over the doorbell, he looked at him, shocked.
"Well aren't you excitied!" Ron said sarcastly. Ron held up his hand, which had keys in it.
"Isn't it a beauty?" Ron sighed. Harry took a look at the car behind him, a dark red convertible stood behind him. Sparkling, literally. Harry c00cked his eyebrow at Ron.
"Sparkles?"
"Oh .. My dad done it, don't ask." Ron said, and was interupted by Harry's laughter. Ron glared at him. "What so funny?" Ron demanded, Harry pointed at the car, Ron took another look, shaking his head as he turned around. Ron startled, jumped back, unfortunley landing on Harry's foot.
Yelping, they both toppled backwards, laughing. The red car, was turned a brownish-green, a very disgustin couler. The sparkles were now purple and pink, and were literally flying off the car.
"Uh hmm!" A voice came from behind them, clearing their throat.They stopped laughing at once, quickly standing up, Ron closed the door, before Sirius could see the car. But he had already.
"nice .. car, Ron" Sirius sniggered. A wand was in Sirius's hand, and was being twirled around.
"Sirius!" Ron moaned. "Change it back, before someone see's it".
"party pooper" Sirius teased, dust leeked under the door, engulfing Harry who was still sitting on the floor. Coughing, Sirius and Ron helped him up.
"weren't you being a bit to enthusiastic?" Harry asked, chuckling. Ron quickly opened the door, once the smoke cleared they could finally see outside. It was finally back to normal, infact it looked a lot better then before.
"That's better" Ron grinned. Ron grabbed the suitcases that he left by the doorstep, and squeezed past them. Harry quickly grabbed the other suitcase, and lead Ron upstairs.
"I'll go get dinner ready, your probably famished" Sirius called up after them. They grunted in reply, as they heaved the suitcases step by step.
Panting with exhaustion they finally made it up, Ron looked dizzly down the 100 some steps they climbed.
"Why does your place have to be so . [U]BIG[/U]?" Ron complained, they fell on the floor, well Ron did anyway. Harry infact was snickering.
"Would you have pefered if we had took the elevator?" Harry asked, trying to look serious. He pointed to the door across from the hall, half hidden by plants.
Ron groaned.
"Not funny" He whined, Harry offered his hand to help him up. Taking the hand gratefully, Ron pulled Harry down.
"Geez, last time I try to help you!" Harry laughed, Ron chuckled. They both got off the floor, and dragged the suitcases to the door on the other end up of hall. Harry opened the door to Ron's bedroom. Harry grinned, watching Ron's reaction.
The room was at least twice the size of his old bedroom, it was a royal blue couler, with the chuddley cannon players flickering all around the room. His bed was king sized, and also had a good sized bathroom off to the side, and a balcony across from them, over looking their large pool, the white curtains around the balcony were blowing across the room.
"Well are you just going to stand their gawking all day, or are you going to come down and have something to eat?" Harry teased.
Ron blinked, and left the suitcases were they were and the raced downstairs. Ron had a headstart and started running downstairs. Harry on the other hand, didn't forget about the elevator, due to the shock of seeing Ron's room. Taking the elevator he quickly pressed the button, laughing at Ron forgetfulness.
There was a dinging noise, and the silver doors slid open. Quickly stepping inside Harry pressed one of the many buttons on the wall.
Ron was halfway down the stairs, when he remebered the elevator.
"Sh00t!" Ron cried, he speed up more half tripping now and then. By the time he reached the bottom and figured out where the kitchen was, Harry was already there eating.
"You cheated!" Ron accused, in reply Harry stuck out his tounge.
Harry stood on his opened balcony, enwrapped in the sky. It was so beautiful, so undisturbed, and peaceful. The northern star blazed above him. He gazed at it for a moment. The nothern star compleletly dissolved, Harry stared at the place where its suppose to lay.
In a few seconds he relized it had not dissapeared, an owl was floating steadily towards him, covering the star.
The owl soared towards him, dropping the letter, the owl landed gracefully on the banister. Her ocean blue eyes, inrapted him. She gave an impatient hoot, and c0cked her head towards the letter, that lay on the ground.
Harry shaked out of his revery, he scooped up the letter, ripping it open.
Harry and Ron,
hey it's Lavender, from school. You remember the party that I told you I would be having, well great news! My parents are leaving for a week, to Florida! So that means im going to be homealone all week, yes they actually trust me. So that means the parties on, its going to be a lot more better then I planned!
Ok its going to be tommarow night, and it well last all night till at least 5 in the morning, be there 8 pm sharp!

ps hope sky made it there alright, she hasn't been acting like herself since I got back!
Excitied, Harry quickly scribbled down an answer. While he was writing, Sky stared at him intently. What he didn't know, while he wrote, was that the party will change his life forever.

There was a small silence, in which Sirius and Harry stared at him suspicously. Remus shook his head at Sirius. He finally caught on.
"Just concentrate on finishing your breakfast, Harry" Sirius said. Harry shot both Remus and Sirius a look, then took a bite of his sasuge. Somehow he would have to find out what was in the newspaper, maybe when they weren't around.
"How about inviting Alex, over the summer? Since you already invitied Ron, and maybe Hermonie as well. It could take your mind off things" Sirius said not thinking. Remus coughed.
"Hermonie's dead, remember?" Harry said bluntly. Sirius turned pale.
"Im so sorry, I wasn't thinking."
"And Alex, well . let's just say we're not exactly friends anymore. He became a Slytherin, and well you know what happens when people are sorted into Slytherin."
Remus coughed yet again.
"Do you think your up to it, if Ron came over today?" Remus asked.
A loud car engine was heard parking in the driveway, Harry rolled his eyes, no doubt Ron. He threw the book that he was reading on the floor, and ran downstairs. Almost tripping Remus on the way, he swung open the door. Ron's hand was posed over the doorbell, he looked at him, shocked.
"Well aren't you excitied!" Ron said sarcastly. Ron held up his hand, which had keys in it.
"Isn't it a beauty?" Ron sighed. Harry took a look at the car behind him, a dark red convertible stood behind him. Sparkling, literally. Harry c00cked his eyebrow at Ron.
"Sparkles?"
"Oh .. My dad done it, don't ask." Ron said, and was interupted by Harry's laughter. Ron glared at him. "What so funny?" Ron demanded, Harry pointed at the car, Ron took another look, shaking his head as he turned around. Ron startled, jumped back, unfortunley landing on Harry's foot.
Yelping, they both toppled backwards, laughing. The red car, was turned a brownish-green, a very disgustin couler. The sparkles were now purple and pink, and were literally flying off the car.
"Uh hmm!" A voice came from behind them, clearing their throat.They stopped laughing at once, quickly standing up, Ron closed the door, before Sirius could see the car. But he had already.
"nice .. car, Ron" Sirius sniggered. A wand was in Sirius's hand, and was being twirled around.
"Sirius!" Ron moaned. "Change it back, before someone see's it".
"party pooper" Sirius teased, dust leeked under the door, engulfing Harry who was still sitting on the floor. Coughing, Sirius and Ron helped him up.
"weren't you being a bit to enthusiastic?" Harry asked, chuckling. Ron quickly opened the door, once the smoke cleared they could finally see outside. It was finally back to normal, infact it looked a lot better then before.
"That's better" Ron grinned. Ron grabbed the suitcases that he left by the doorstep, and squeezed past them. Harry quickly grabbed the other suitcase, and lead Ron upstairs.
"I'll go get dinner ready, your probably famished" Sirius called up after them. They grunted in reply, as they heaved the suitcases step by step.
Panting with exhaustion they finally made it up, Ron looked dizzly down the 100 some steps they climbed.
"Why does your place have to be so . [U]BIG[/U]?" Ron complained, they fell on the floor, well Ron did anyway. Harry infact was snickering.
"Would you have pefered if we had took the elevator?" Harry asked, trying to look serious. He pointed to the door across from the hall, half hidden by plants.
Ron groaned.
"Not funny" He whined, Harry offered his hand to help him up. Taking the hand gratefully, Ron pulled Harry down.
"Geez, last time I try to help you!" Harry laughed, Ron chuckled. They both got off the floor, and dragged the suitcases to the door on the other end up of hall. Harry opened the door to Ron's bedroom. Harry grinned, watching Ron's reaction.
The room was at least twice the size of his old bedroom, it was a royal blue couler, with the chuddley cannon players flickering all around the room. His bed was king sized, and also had a good sized bathroom off to the side, and a balcony across from them, over looking their large pool, the white curtains around the balcony were blowing across the room.
"Well are you just going to stand their gawking all day, or are you going to come down and have something to eat?" Harry teased.
Ron blinked, and left the suitcases were they were and the raced downstairs. Ron had a headstart and started running downstairs. Harry on the other hand, didn't forget about the elevator, due to the shock of seeing Ron's room. Taking the elevator he quickly pressed the button, laughing at Ron forgetfulness.
There was a dinging noise, and the silver doors slid open. Quickly stepping inside Harry pressed one of the many buttons on the wall.
Ron was halfway down the stairs, when he remebered the elevator.
"Sh00t!" Ron cried, he speed up more half tripping now and then. By the time he reached the bottom and figured out where the kitchen was, Harry was already there eating.
"You cheated!" Ron accused, in reply Harry stuck out his tounge.
Harry stood on his opened balcony, enwrapped in the sky. It was so beautiful, so undisturbed, and peaceful. The northern star blazed above him. He gazed at it for a moment. The nothern star compleletly dissolved, Harry stared at the place where its suppose to lay.
In a few seconds he relized it had not dissapeared, an owl was floating steadily towards him, covering the star.
The owl soared towards him, dropping the letter, the owl landed gracefully on the banister. Her ocean blue eyes, inrapted him. She gave an impatient hoot, and c0cked her head towards the letter, that lay on the ground.
Harry shaked out of his revery, he scooped up the letter, ripping it open.
Harry and Ron,

Excitied, Harry quickly scribbled down an answer. While he was writing, Sky stared at him intently. What he didn't know, while he wrote, was that the party will change his life forever.
