I wanted to write a year 6 fic ever since I finished book 5. There are major spoilers, so anyone who hasn't read the book yet, don't read this! Please review! I don't own any Harry Potter, JK Rowlings owns all of it! Enjoy! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ He was back at the Dursley's. He was back in Dudley's second bedroom, he was back to being cut off from the magical world. Well, all was true except the last part.

Harry had just finished a letter to Luna Lovegood. Harry beckoned Hedwig over from the windowsill so he could tie the letter to Hedwig's leg. Hedwig hooted and flew off. Lately Harry had written a lot to Luna.

There were only two people that Harry could talk to about Sirius; Lupin and Luna.

Harry knew that Lupin was the last of the old gang, and Lupin and Harry needed each other for support. The old gang included Harry's father, James Potter, who was killed when Harry was a baby, Peter Pettigrew, whom no one had seen for more than a year, Lupin, and Harry's Godfather, Sirius Black.

Harry remembered Sirius again and began to cry. He took the mirror that Sirius had given him and held it to his face. Harry had once smashed it when Sirius didn't answer, but Harry did a repair spell on it, knowing it was the last thing Sirius had given him.

Every time Harry thought of Sirius he stared in the mirror. He never gave up trying to talk to Sirius. Sometimes Harry would talk into the mirror for hours, believing that Sirius could hear him somehow.

"Sirius? Sirius Black are you there? It's your godson, Harry. Sirius, when are you coming back? When am I going to see you again? You were the closest thing I had to a father, no; you WERE my father, filing in for my real dad! Voldemort took you and my first dad away, I hope you and James Potter are happy. HAPPY! You left me, left Lupin and me with NOTHING! NOTHING! I HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY THERE SIRIUS! AND DAD, I HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY TOO," Harry shouted in the mirror angrily," YOU TOOK HIM FROM ME, OLD BUDDIES BACK AGAIN, JAMES POTTER AND SIRIUS BLACK, BEST FRIENDS BACK AGAIN, YOU LEFT ME AND LUPIN HERE, ALL ALONE! ALL ALONE! SIRIUS! YOU DIDN'T EVEN SAY GOODBYE! YOU AND ME WERE SUPPOSED TO LIVE TOGETHER, DO YOU REMEMBER THAT?!? YOU PROMISED! You promised." Harry threw the mirror against the wall and it shattered.

After about ten minutes Harry was interrupted by Ron's owl, Pig, zooming in his room. Harry gathered himself up and before attending to the owl said, "Ruparo" and the mirror became one piece again. He took the mirror and sat it on the nightstand.

"Come here you stupid bird," Harry said to Pig. Pig flew over and Harry grabbed the letter. It was from Lupin.

Harry tore the letter open and shooed away Pig, but the bird didn't go anywhere. Harry rolled his eyes and looked at the letter. It read:

Harry,

Dumbledore said it was time for you to come back to the Black's house, so Tonks, Moody, and I are going to come and get you on Wednesday, two days from now. Please send a reply back with Pig telling me if that's all right. One a more personal note, how are you? The Dursley's treating you all right? Please write back, and warn the Dursley's that we will be traveling by Floo Powder now that the Ministry is no longer keeping tabs on the fireplaces.

Moony.

Harry grabbed a piece of parchment and a quill. He wrote a short note that said:

Moony,

Wednesday sounds good. Ron told me that you were talking Dumbledore into letting me come there soon. The Dursley's are good, ignoring me more than anything, but I'm not complaining. I need to ask you something, but it can wait until later. See you on Wednesday,

Harry Potter-Black.

Harry tied the letter to Pig and he hooted and flew off. Harry had decided that since Sirius was as much of a father as James Potter was, Harry would carry along Sirius' name. Harry James Potter-Black.

Harry decided that he had better tell the Dursley's about the Floo Powder thing, they would surely yell at Harry if he told them any later.

He walked down the stairs into the living room. There, the whole family was watching television.

Dudley whimpered when he saw Harry. He did that EVERY time he saw Harry. Dudley still thought it was Harry who set the dementors on him last year.

Aunt Petunia looked up at Harry and said in her coldest voice," Yes?" "The three wizar- err, people you talked to the day you came and got me, the one with the weird eye, well, they are coming to pick me up on Wednesday, and are coming from the fireplace, just so you know."

Uncle Vernon winced at the almost said word of 'wizard,' but instead of yelling he smiled. "Wednesday you say? Early Wednesday?" Harry knew that Uncle Vernon wanted Harry out of his house as soon as possible.

"Dunno when, all I know is Wednesday." "Very well, thank you." Uncle Vernon replied in his coldest voice. Nothing more was said, the Dursley's were back to ignoring Harry.

Harry went back upstairs. To his surprise he found Hedwig back with a letter from Luna, and three more letters.

Harry recognized the handwriting of all the letters at once. One was hardly legible writing; Hagrid, one was scratchy handwriting with some neat tidy handwriting; Ron and Hermione, and the other one was legible handwriting with lost of mistakes; clearly it was Neville's.

Before Harry could open any of the letters, a large brown barn owl flew in and dropped yet another letter next to Harry. This owl didn't wait and was flying away right after dropping the letter down.

Harry knew who this letter was from too. It was from Hogwarts, Harry knew right away because of the crest at the top left-hand corner of the envelope. No doubt it was his O.W.L. results. Harry saved this letter for last.

Harry first opened Hagrid's letter. It was a birthday card. Harry had completely forgotten it was his birthday. Hagrid said that he was on another mission for Dumbledore, but this one was less dangerous and not as far. Getting wrapped up in the mission he didn't have time to buy Harry a gift, so Hagrid said that he owed Harry one. Hagrid also said that he was with Grawp, and Grawp said hello. From the letter, Hagrid said that Grawp had become a lot more well mannered, and how proud he was of Grawp.

Harry laid the letter from Hagrid aside and opened the one from Neville next. Neville wrote to Harry regularly now, ever since Harry 'found out' about Neville's parents in St. Mungo's.

Neville had confided everything in Harry. He spilled his guts out to Harry, telling him how he kept everything his mother and father gave him, down to the very last gum wrapper. Harry knew that Neville needed to tell all of this to someone, so Harry sympathetically read Neville's letters and in turn wrote to Neville about his feelings on his parents.

As soon as Harry finished reading Neville's letter, three more owls came flying into Harry's room at the same time.

"Shit!" Harry said out loud. Two of the birds left, but a large tired looking gray owl waited on the windowsill patiently. Harry took the letter from the gray owl and hastily opened it. It was from one of his classmates, Dean Thomas. It had the usual 'how is your summer' sort of thing, but there was also a question at the bottom. Dean asked," I was wondering, are you still going to continue with the D.A.? PS. Happy Birthday."

Harry had completely forgotten about that also. The D.A. was a group that him and Hermione had put together last year. It stood for Dumbledore's Army. They had gotten in a bit of a spot when their Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher found out about that. Harry had to admit however, that if not for the D.A. he, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Luna, and Neville would not be alive. Harry knew that the D.A. must continue, for everyone's sake.

Harry wrote on the same letter Dean had sent. Eleven words were all Harry wrote:

I'm fine, the D.A. is still on. Tell everyone you know.

Harry gave the letter back to the gray owl and it flew off. Since it was the only owl that was waiting for a reply Harry was relieved that he didn't have to write anymore.

Harry identified the next envelope as from Fred and George Weasley. Inside was a letter telling Harry that business was booming and telling Harry that they would make him a partner anytime he wanted. Harry once read the letter full through, hastily sat it down next to the other letters he had already read.

He picked up the next envelope and with even opening it, threw it in the wastebasket. It was from Cho. Harry had no intention of talking to her, knowing that she had nothing to tell him that he would be interested in.

Getting back to the first batch of letters, he opened Luna's. Luna always sounded mystic in her letters, but Harry liked it. Harry probably wrote more to Luna than even Ron and Hermione, because for some reason he felt that he could talk freely to her, and he definitely knew that she talked freely to him.

She had told Harry about how her mom was apart of the Order, but was killed by Barty Crouch Jr. with one of the unforgivable curses. She had confided in previous letters that she liked Ron. Harry was in shock when she first told him, but when he looked back on the last year with her, he had to ask himself why he hadn't seen it himself.

In this letter Luna told Harry that she was too small to remember the death of her mother, but she knew that she saw it. She knew she saw her mother's death because she could see the Thestral's. She also enclosed in her letter that she had just found out that her father, the editor of the Quibbler, had joined the Order. Therefore she would be going with him to their meeting spot.

Harry read this and was pleased. He was glad that Luna was coming, it would make Harry feel better to have her there at Sirius' house.

"Two more." Harry said aloud. Harry opened the letter from Ron and Hermione. It was written in Ron's handwriting and read:

Hullo Harry!

What have you been up to? Everything there good? Good! Lupin had just sent you a letter, I know, but we thought that we should write to you anyway. Everyone says hello. Fred and George aren't here though, they said that they had work to do at their shop, but they said they would be popping in before we left for school. Wouldn't you know? We are going to have a full house when you get here. Luna's dad has just joined the, umm, yeah, and him and Luna are going to spend the rest of the summer over here. Ginny is thrilled. She said that she has been writing to Luna a lot lately, and she was soo happy Luna is coming. A little weird if you ask me, both of them, Ginny and Luna. Ginny doesn't know that I know that Luna isn't the only one she's been writing to (did that make any sense?). I know she's been writing to Dean Thomas all summer, that stupid git! But getting back on subject, guess who else is coming? Neville! Dumbledore said he would be spending the rest of the summer here with us because his grandmother has some important business she has to attend to. We just got our O.W.L. results. Surprisingly enough, I passed them all except Divination, big surprise there! Have you gotten yours yet? Oh another surprise, Hermione passed all twelve of hers! Well I have nothing else to say, oh, Hermione told me to tell you not to forget anything when you pack. Okay, now I think that's everything. See ya when you get here!

Cheers! Ron and Hermione.

PS. Happy Birthday, what did you think? We forgot?

Harry smiled. He was so grateful that he had friends like Ron and Hermione. Now Harry only had one letter left to open. It was the one from Hogwarts. Harry didn't notice it before, but now he saw that the letter was quite large and was oddly bulging out in one place. He opened the letter and found three papers, and to Harry's surprise, a silver badge with a P on it. Harry couldn't believe it. He had seen the P badge before, it was a prefects badge.

Harry read the first letter. He was again amazed. It was the results of the O.W.L.'s Harry took last year. Harry had received passing grades in all of his classes, even in Divination. That however, was not the shocking part. His shock was that he had received top marks in Potions.

As soon as the shock wore off he remembered there were still two more pieces of paper. The next one was a letter from Professor McGonnagal. She wrote that because of Harry's marks, he was able to talk all the classes he needed to become an Auror. She said she would place him in all the classes automatically and if he had any questions or changed his mind on his career path to send her back an owl.

Harry was thrilled. Ever since Sirius' death, Harry knew that he wanted to become an Auror more than anything. Harry then turned to the last page. This, Harry could tell, was from no other than Dumbledore.

In Dumbledore's letter, he said the he is allowing Harry to return to the Black's house and leave the Dursley's. Dumbledore said that Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom would also be coming. He said there, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Neville, Ginny, and Luna were supposed to take lessons from Lupin. Dumbledore did not enclose what the lessons were for, because the letter could be intercepted. Dumbledore also said in the letter that since Angelina had graduated Hogwarts last year, they were short a Gryffindor Quidditch Captain. "Professor McGonnagal has asked me to ask you if you would be interested in the position." Including this proposition, there was another. "I know you were cheated out of it last year, so this year, you are to be made a prefect." Dumbledore said that he would talk to Harry more later, but in the mean time to pay special attention to the lesson that Lupin were going to teach.

For the first time in a long time, Harry thought, things were looking up.
