Chapter one:Harry's Surprise
Harry woke up with a sudden rage in his scar. He redreampt his
horrible nightmare of Lord Voldemort. He feared that all summer long where
was Sirius at and if Voldemort would try to kill him at the Drusley's home.
Every night since his recent come in with Voldemort, Harry had the dream
night after night. Many times he felt like writing to Sirius or Proffessor
Dumbledore but thought it just be a bother to both of them. Plus he figured
that it was nothing. There had been many times his scar raged with firey
pain like someone was starting to take a oven-heated steel rode to his
forehead.The only thing that bothered Harry that was his scar hurt even
worse than it had been lately. All summer long he kept thinking of Cedric
who he thought was dead because it was his fault. Several times he was told
it wasn't but Harry couldn't stop thinking the "what ifs". What if he had
been perpared more. What if he had only taken the Triwizard Cup by himself.
Of course he thought at that time during the match that the cup shouldn't
belong to just him, but to the whole school. Mean while Hedwig was in her
cage that was once again padlocked to prevent Harry from having any way to
get in contact to the magical world by Uncle Vernon. Hedwig suddenly woke
to the loud screech from out of Harry's window.
"Ohh......I forgot,"Harry looked over to his alarm clock that was now reading 12:00 am. He was now 15 years old. Then suddenly came a thought out of nowhere. Ever since his 11th birthday, Harry had came into some kind of trouble at Hogwarts and it always seemed to be at the end of the year. Harry wondered now what would happen since Voldemort regained a body and was out on the loose. Would he try to kill people off one by one at the school? Harry didn't want anyone else to die because he couldn't stop Voldemort at the Triwizard Tournament. Without warning, one reconizable owl came flying in through the window along with an unkown owl at it's side. One owl was very small, Rons. The other Harry notice wasn't from Hagrid. Who would it be from then? Both owls were carrying a slightly bigger package then the both of their sizes. Following them came in a large brown owl witch Harry knew was Hagrid's owl. This one seemed to be carrying a large circular package that smelled terribly horrid. The package was covered with specks of green swamp fungus.
"I see you dropped yours huh?"said Harry with his stomach turning in all sorts of directions. Harry could feel his head turning a pale white. Deciding it'd be best to open up Hagrid's package first before the whole house smelled as bad as it did, Harry began to tare off the paper. For a second he wish he hadn't even thought about it. The package contained what seemed what was once a cake, but was now covered with green moss and borwned it's way down to every inch. Harry was happy to see a letter attached to Pig. It had been all summer long since he had recieved a letter from anyone he knew of. Harry then turned on the light and straightened up his glasses. "Dear Harry,
Mum and Dad said that you can come stay with us for the rest of the summer. How is your scar? Does it hurt even more now? I hope you like your birthday gift! Sorry I haven't written to you lately, but Percy has been using all three owls at our house. I have no idea what he is up to but all I know is that Hogwarts and the ministry of magic is involved. If you can't find a way to get to our house, we will come get you.Have a happy birthday Harry!"
Ron
Harry began to open the large package and wasn't surprised of what it was. The package had Berty Botts Every Flavor Beans, Chocolate frogs, and something that took catch of Harry's eye very quickly. It was a book called Deafet and Defense Against the Worst Fears and Enemies of All Time. To Harry this was very strange considering the fact that Ron wasn't very much of a book reader nor a study type of person. Pig fluttered on over to Hedwig's cage where Hedwig and Hagrid's owl had been to catch up on some rest. Lying next to Harry's foot was the next package. As Harry opened the parcel, a letter fell onto the floor. Harry picked up the letter and read it out loud as the owls hooted with one another.
Dear Harry,
I thought you could use this for the up coming school year since You Know Who is back and could be out there anywhere. I hope this school year is going to be alot more safer. Just remember that Proffessor Dumbledore is around and he will make it harder for You Know Who to get in Hogwarts and harm anyone. Hope you have a happy summer and birthday! See you at Ron's.
Hermione
At the end of the letter a book, sure enough, came tumbling out onto the floor.
"Interesting.....Dark Wizards and Witches of All Time and Their counter Spells,Curses, and Enemies,"said Harry puzzled. Harry began to flip through the pages looking for anything on Voldemort but no information could be found. "Why would Hermione send me a book with nothing about Voldemort? What good is it?" Harry rechecked page after page still finding nothing at all. Suddenly his deep thought was broken by a blinding light in the sky that lasted for a minute. Harry reconized the symbol which he had seen the privious year at the World Quidditch Cup final. It was the same emerald green skull that was used by Voldemort himself and his followers. Harry rushed to the window looking down he saw a familiar black shaggy dog.
"Sirius!? Did you do that?"shouted Harry.
"No. Let me come up though. It's important!"barked Sirius. Harry opened the window full way. In came the shaggy dog and with in instant, the dog turned into Harry's godfather, Sirius. You could tell by the way his hair was ragged up and his cloak torn that he had a rough trip. Harry didn't care though how Sirius looked. He walked over and gave him a great hug. To Harry it seemed like forever since he had seen Sirius and was glad that he just happened to come on Harry's birthday.
"Sirius? What are you doing here? You arn't in any trouble are you? Also, what is so important? Who did that mark?"
"Slow down Harry! Your going to turn blue. I'm here because A it's your birthday and B to give you this letter from Dumbledore. No I'm not in any trouble. Most likely Voldemort's followers did the Dark Mark. They have been out on the run again but most are being carefully watched by the Ministry of Magic. Anything else ya want to know?"said Sirius all in a calm peaceful voice.
"No. I'm Just glad to see you. I was worried since I didn't get any letters from you at all,"said Harry.
"Oh...got ya gift for your birthday. Hope it's suitable. It's in Dumbledore's letter. Go ahead, open it." Harry very carefully opened the letter. As all normal letters from Hogwarts were, the letter was written in green.
Dear Harry,
I have sent Sirius to come and stay with you for thr remaining part of the summer. I am sure he told you of your surprise. Have a great birhtday!"
Proffessor Dumbledore
Following the letter came out a form written in red.
"Dear Mr. H. Potter,
We are pleased to inform you that by ruling and months of working out serious obstacles we Have confirmed and handed pure custody over to Mr. S. Black from Mr. and Mrs. V. Drusley. All that is needed is the form below to be filled out and handed back in. Thank you for your spare time."
"Is this for real? This is totally cool!"and with that Harry went rushing over to his study desk for a pen to fill out the form.
"Glad you think so. Now Harry I want you to relize that even though you'll be away from the Drusleys are still your relatives and you should keep in contact with them. Also since you know who is out there I want you to beware of anything and everything that goes on while your with me. Got it?" Harry could tell that Sirius was sirious in the face. Harry shook his head and went back to the paper.
"I promise. Just one thing though. Where do you live?"questioned Harry.
"I live with some other people hiding out in the old so-called haunted house in Hogsmeade. Hope it's fine with ya,"said Sirius going crisom.
"Anything is better than being here with the Drusleys. You know that." Harry suddenly giggled at the thought he be leaving the Drusleys for good after all this time of getting pushed around like a rag mop.
"Well best be off then. We ought to get you settled in early then hey?"said Sirius.
Harry quickly gathered up his belongings and wrote quick owls to Ron, Hermione, and Hagrid."Sirius but how do we get all of my stuff there? I know you don't have any car or anything."
"This is true Harry but we can use floo powder. I'm sure you've used it before with Ron. Haven't you?" said Sirius with a wide smile on his face and winked at Harry. "All set to go now there Harry?"
"You bet I am!" Harry was so excited that the rush from the floo powder didn't even bother Harry at all till Sirius and him landed in an old dusty fire place. "Alright there Harry?"called out Siruius who was still gagging on the cob webs and dust.
"Think so. Just dusty that's all." Harry couldn't fight the dust. A spider was hanging above his head and there was a hole in his jeans. Harry looked up ahead and notice someone he had seen before in his previous years at Hogwarts. Harry got up and walked over to the chair. In the chair sat an tired looking man with his cloak fringed around in every little fiber.
"Hello there Harry! Glad to see you."
"Proffessor Lupin? What are you doing here?"said Harry all puzzled out at once.
"Right now trying to rest up and hide from any trouble at the moment. So you finally came to stay 'ey? Just make sure your careful here."
"Um...not to rude or anything but do you still....ummm....you know."
"Turn into a werewolf? Sure I still can but luckily enough I found a rare potion book to supply me with a potion to keep at bay." "Neat!So are you going to be returning back to Hogwarts Sir? You know alot of kids miss you there. You were one of the best teachers there."
"Happy to hear but I fear the it is to dangerous for me to return. Plus I don't intend on having to answer to many questions for many students. I know I'm missed not only by the students but even by some of the teachers at Hogwarts." Harry could tell Lupin looked at the fire place with a heavy heart. He wished he could make everyone forget the werewolf business and relize Proffessor Lupin was a great and wonderful teacher. Then Harry relized all the cracks and jokes that the students would make and how many parrents may not approve of Proffessor Lupin.
So after a long talk of last years events and past laughs they all went into seperate beds upstairs. The next morning Harry woke up to a bright light shing in through the broken window up to his left.
"Morning Harry. Sleep well?"chirped up Sirius.
"Very. The bed is better than the one at the Drusleys."
Harry wanted to stay in the soft comfortable bed for ever but followed Sirius down stairs to a dining that was the color of brick red. Looking in all directions, Harry saw that the walls were chipped and full of dust. "Good morning Proffes-"
"Please Harry I preferred if you call me just Lupin okay?"cutted in Proffessor Lupin.
"No problem at all. Good morning Lupin!" said Harry. After saying this Harry heard a small mute laugh that came Lupin."So what do you guys eat for breakfast?"
"Normally toast, english muffins, or what ever is around here in this old dump!"cracked up Sirius.
"Better than at the Drusleys for me." Having said this all three buttered up a piece of toast and filled a glass of orange juice. For two weeks they lounged around and talked of what has and what might happen. Then faster then Harry noticed it was time to head back for Hogwarts. After saying their goodbyes, Harry was on the platform 9 3/4.
