Chapter 5
"So, did you really think my dad was he who must not be named?" Ron says that night, in between snorts of laughter.
"Yes, now stop laughing, it's not funny!"
"No, but you see, it is!"
"Well, I suppose if you woke up with a piercing pain on your head after having a dream about the person who keeps trying to kill you, and who has made your life miserable before you were even talking and someone just suddenly appears in your room, about to cast some sort of spell you'd be laughing too!"
Ron just mumbles "Sorry, goodnight." And they say nothing again that night.

The next morning owls from Hogwarts come. Each person receives a list of all their school supplies needed for this year. Again this year they all needed dress robes.
As Ron grumbles about that, Fred and George wink at Harry, "Good, they haven't forgotten yet," Harry says to himself.
The next day they set off for Diagon Alley to buy all of their school supplies. Harry bought himself some new school robes since he grew a lot over the summer holidays. While buying his books he noticed that he needed 2 defense against the dark arts books, level 5 and "Advanced dark magic." "That's different," Harry thought. He goes over to Hermione. "Hermione, could I see your school list, please?"
"Umm, sure but they're all the same,"she replies, a little confused.
Harry looks at her list but it wasn't on her book list. "That's strange," he says.
"What's strange?" asks Hermione.
"This," he says as he shows Hermione and Ron, who just came by, the extra book he needed on his list.
"I'm stumped," Ron admits.
"Me too," Harry agrees. "Maybe it was a mistake, maybe I shouldn't get it and waste money."
" I get it!" exclaimed Hermione. "I'll explain later," she says, seeing the odd and confused expressions on their faces. "It's no mistake, and you're going to get that book!'
"But why?" they both ask in unison.
"Oh, just hurry up and follow me."

They return to the burrow just before supper that day. The two boys have already forgotten about the book. Their minds are stuck on the quidditch game they are going to play a little later that evening. The days at the burrow go by in a wink of an eye. Soon enough, it was September 1st, and time to go to Kings Cross station, through barrier 9 and 10 to platform 9 3/4, onto the Hogwarts Express and back to school once again.
"Ok, girls first," Mrs. Weasely cries over the voices of the muggles boarding trains on this busy day. In an instant Ginny and Hermione disappear through the brick wall. "Fred and George, you're next!" They too, disappear. "Harry and Ron, you can go whenever now!" They make their way to the barrier. As they were about to go through the barrier, Mr. Weasely stops them and says,"Harry would you come here a moment?" Harry walks dumbfounded over to Ron's dad. "Harry, I know you've done some of the most incredible things in the past, but please, don't go looking for trouble, this is serious stuff, for highly trained wizards. Be careful, ok?"
"Yes, I will be careful. But I got to go now, the train will be leaving soon. Bye!"
"Bye, Harry!" he calls after him.
"Ready Ron?"
"Yeah lets go."
Harry and Ron both go through the barrier together. On the other side, Ron says,"Harry, come on, let's go find a compartment for ourselves. Harry? Harry?"
Harry wasn't behind him.
****
It was cold, dark with a damp musty smelling earth at his feet wherever Harry was. He looks around, a little dazed of what just happened. Out of nowhere, a wispy voice is heard. "I'm coming Harry, but not yet, no not yet. Still many things to do yet, but I'll be there, you can keep my word." With a hissing sound and an evil cackle echoing in the darkness, a blinding white light fills the place. Harry finds himself beside Ron. White as a ghost, a hand on his scar, and shaking like mad, he puts on hand on Ron's shoulder and faints right there on the sport. Run quickly runs and gets Fred and George who carry Harry onto the train.
****
Harry woke up drenched in a cold sweat. Ron, Hermione, Fred, George, and Ginny were looking at him with plain fear. He slowly sits up, still shaken from the events that just occurred. Instantly, all three boys bombard him with questions. Harry puts his head down on his knees in despair and they all shutup. Harry mumbles something like," I can't talk about it right now." A nerve-racking silence follows. Ron breaks it by asking,"Hermione, why don't you explain to us about the defense against dark arts book that Harry needed?"
"Well uhhh," Hermione starts, stuttering slightly,"I think the reason is that they want Harry to learn more defense spells.....incase needed this year."
"Oh," Ron says.
"Harry, we owled Dumbledore, he'll be waiting for you at Hogsmeade when we arrive," Hermione told Harry.
"Ok, but I think I'll be al........argh!"
He falls to the floor, clutching his scar. He rolls down there in pain. Again, he hears the same wispy voice, "You can't always depend on Dumbledore to protect you boy."
Harry wakes up, again, on the floor of the compartment. A sigh of relief escapes everyone as he lifts himself off the floor and onto his seat. Someone says,"You were out of it for like fifteen minutes!" He mumbles "reparo" to fix his broken glasses. Quietly, he asks where Fred and George went. They tell him that they went to owl Dumbledore again. He puts his head in his lap and mutters,"What a great start of year this has been." They nudge him slightly to tell him that they are almost at Hogwarts and that he better put his robes on.
A/N alrighty! Here's another chapter! I cannot say how much I'd like to thank all my reviewers so far! Now that I know, I'll try to make my chapters longer and somehow try to fix the problem with the tenses, sorry about the confusion! Now all I have to do is figure out how to do it! Lol…sorry never been good with grammar. I gotta say, this was my favorite chapter to write so far! Hope it was good to read! Later~didihoulio
P.S. what's a beta reader? I've read the word here and there but I dunno what it is…could someone tell me? Thanks (!
