Harry woke up the next morning all achy. He hadn't flown or played in a while. Hermione was sleeping at the foot of his bed using the cloak as a pillow. He kicked her and she woke up. It was a good thing there were no classes that day because the teachers were going to Harry's trial. Harry didn't know why he wasn't allowed to go, but he was happy he didn't. They sat on the bed laughing and talking when Sirius came in with Ron. Harry and Hermione didn't notice. They began talking about what happened the night before and began to wonder who or what did it.
"This is so scary. Do you think it might be Voldemort?"
"No. My scar didn't hurt, but it could have been. I feel so defenseless without my mother's protection. I don't know what to do."
She was thinking about telling him about the mirror reflection but then decided it wasn't a good time. That's when Harry saw them. He smiled and Hermione turned around and smiled. Sirius whispered something to Ron and Ron whispered something back. Then those two smiled.
"You two look just like Lily and James. It's amazing. You two act the same, too," Sirius said to them. Harry looked at Hermione and Hermione looked at Harry. Harry smile faded and he whispered to Hermione, "Oh how I miss them both. I never got to know them." She hugged him.
Ron and Hermione left a little while later to get breakfast and Sirius sat down next to Harry.
"Do Hermione and I really look like my parents?" Harry wanted to know what he could about them.
"Yeah. Except for the fact Hermione looked a little different than your mother, yes you do. You look just like your father, Harry." Harry smile and Sirius did too. "So what shall you be? Have you decided?"
"I made it Hermione's decision, so...a phoenix. Is that a good choice?"
"A little advanced but I think you can do it. I think it suits you. But you have to realize you won't have the same abilities as one but there are things that can help you with that," he said looking and twirling the ring on his finger. Harry never noticed it before but it seemed to be a quartz crystal, but it looked a little weird. When Harry looked hard at it he could see something inside. Before he could investigate it some more with his eyes, Sirius covered it with his other hand. "So...let's begin your training. Are you ready?" Harry was really excited.
"Yes."
The first day was long and hard. Harry and Sirius stopped every so often to eat. At the end of the day Hermione would come to visit Harry to take her to the field and train her. Hermione only seemed to have Quidditch on the brain and she began to freak out when her grades began to slip. Less than two weeks later Hermione was on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, ready for her first game. Harry had snuck out to watch them practice and the team seemed lost without Wood. Ron wasn't that good of a Keeper and Harry thought he should just stick to reading about it than playing it. He was getting better, though.
Harry started to make progress on his training and Hermione was getting to be really good. She asked to borrow his Firebolt and he gladly let her. It was the day of her first game and Harry was determined to watch. The uniform looked a little weird on her, but Ron said it made her cuter than she already was. Sirius helped him get out to see the game under the Invisibility cloak and get good seats for Hermione. It was a perfect match up for that game...Gryffindor vs. Slytherin. Draco was determined to beat Hermione no matter the cost.
