~*~*~ Chapter One~*~*~

Disclaimer: I do not know these characters, but I'm sure you know who they belong too.

A/N This is my first story so please do not be too mean. Constructive criticism is very welcome.


Harry lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep. The reason was his birthday was tomorrow. For once in his life he couldn't wait for his birthday because he was going to spend the day with his godfather, Sirius. At the end of harry's 6th year Peter Pettigrew was caught and Sirius was set free, although some people still think of him as a murderer. Now Harry is living with him in a comfortable sized flat just outside of Hogsmeade. Harry had only been living here for about a week so he was still adjusting to the comfort of his new home. It also was strange for him to live with somebody that wasn't constantly mean to him and actually liked him for who he was.

Harry was still thin but not as scrawny and had grown considerably the previous year. He still had his brilliant emerald green eyes and the dark hair that seemed to do what ever it wanted to do. On is forehead there was a scar shaped like a lightning bolt from a long ago attack.

As Harry lay in bed with his green eyes open looking around his medium sized room and saw Hedwig's cage, currently empty, hanging in the corner. Then glanced over to his closet were he kept his broom. He decided to go for a nighttime fly, hoping that it would make him sleepy since he was still wide awake. He opened the door that led out to the small balcony that Harry had connected on his room and hopped on his broom. He then through his invisibility cloak around him and the broom as he did not want to be seen.

He couldn't decide were he wanted to go. He didn't know who would be awake and it was pretty late. His best friends Ron and Hermione would most likely be sleeping and he didn't want to wake them up. So he ventured into Hogsmeade. As he was flying through Hogsmeade he saw a few people. Madam Rosetta was closing the Three Broomsticks. Harry saw the Post office, and the newest shop Weasley Wizard Wheezes run by Ron's older twin brothers Fred and George. Soon Harry came up to the Shrieking shack. Harry slowed a little bit when he saw someone in the shadows of the house. He knew the house wasn't really haunted, he had found that out the same year he found out that he had a godfather. Harry landed and silently follow this person. The person went through a window that was once boarded up. Harry was very curious about this person and wanted to know why they were going into the shrieking shack of all places, so he decided to follow. He trailed this person all the way through the dark tunnel to Hogwarts.

As Harry came out of the whomping willow on the Hogwarts grounds he saw the person dart off toward the Forbidden Forest. Harry hopped back on his firebolt and flew over the person walking through the trees. Suddenly the person stopped and spoke. A man with a deep voice spoke, "You wanted to see me Sir?"

"Yes" a voice spoke. It sounded winded and tired as though he had been running. "I need to tell you to be prepared."

"Prepared for what?" the first voice asked sounding worried.

"The dark Lord is going to attack, attack Harry be prepared"

"Attack? Attack when?" he asked. But no one answered the second man had all ready started running deeper into the forest while the man Harry had been following returned to the whomping willow and left.

Harry sat in the air thinking he was going to be attacked..... but when? was the question. Harry then started on his way home through the tree, through the boarded up window and back into his bedroom window. Harry landed silently as to make sure that he didn't wake up Sirius, put his broom and invisibility cloak away then flopped into bed. Now being exhausted fell asleep right away. Completely forgetting that his birthday was the next day.

When Harry awoke, he showered and got dressed. He decided to keep his wand with him, although he couldn't do magic because he was still an underage wizard, he thought it best to be prepared if he was going to be attacked. Once he was all dressed he left his room and went toward the kitchen. There wasn't much on the white walls because Sirius and Harry hadn't had much time to decorate. The air smelt like bacon, eggs, and toast. And sure enough when Harry rounded the corner and walked into the kitchen he saw Sirius cooking and heard the sizzling and popping coming from the frying pan with the bacon in ti.

"Good morning Sirius" Harry said with a slight yawn.

Sirius jumped obviously he hadn't seen or heard Harry come into the kitchen. "Happy Birthday Harry!" Sirius replied in a happy voice.

"Oh yeah, Thanks" Harry said.

"Did you forget it was your birthday today?" Sirius said in a surprised voice.

"No I just had other things on my mind"

"Like what? What could be more important than your birthday?"

"Well... last night I couldn't fall asleep." Harry paused

"And that is why you almost forgot it was you birthday?" Sirius questioned.

"Not exactly. I know I'm not supposed to but I thought a night time fly would help me fall asleep." Harry paused to muster his thoughts and then continued. "I put my invisibility cloak on so no one would see me. And when I get near the Shrieking Shack I saw someone sneaking around by it."

Sirius nodded then asked "Do you know who it was?"

Harry shook his head "No it was too dark. I followed that person into the shrieking shack. I followed him all the way to Hogwarts. He then went into The Forbidden Forest and I flew over him. He started to talk to someone else."

"Did you hear what they said?" Sirius asked.

"Yeah guy that was in the fores said to the other guy to be prepared because, because the dark lord is going to attack." Harry said his speech getting quicker and more worried.

"Attack, attack who?" Sirius asked his voice sounding worried as if he knew the answer.

"Well... me" Harry said glancing up at Sirius.

"Do you know when or where or anything like that?"

"No he didn't say. Right after he was done talking he turned and left"

"Hmm, well I guess all you can do is be on your guard and don't go wandering off by yourself."

"Yeah I know it is always the same old thing, 'stay on your guard, don't go wondering off, be careful, watch out, and don't go looking for danger.' I get so sick of it. It isn't fair!" Harry yelled.

"Sirius walked over to Harry and put a hand on his shoulder and said, "I know you hate all of this but there isn't anything you can do about it until Voldemort is gone and even then...." Sirius grabbed a plate and handed it to Harry "Here eat before it gets cold. Remember we are going to go to Ron's house for your birthday"

Harry remembered a couple of days after Harry arrived at Sirius's house Ron wrote to him asking if he wanted to go to his house for his birthday.

Harry nodded, "At least it will help keep my mind off of things."

As soon as they were done eating Harry helped with the dishes.
