Harry waved goodbye to Ron, Ginny and Hermione as they got on the Hogwarts express. As the train went out of sight around the corner Harry turned and headed back up to the Castle. He wasn't going back on the train this year. He would be leaving by floo once Talitha was ready. He wandered slowly back looking around as he had done so, taking advantage of Hogwarts being almost silent. Lost in his own thoughts he chuckled to himself. 'Well at least I didn't have to fight Voldemort this year.'

Eventually Harry reached Talitha's office

"You all packed then" He asked her as he walked in the room.

"Not really" Talitha muttered as she glanced round the room "Well not at all actually" she laughed. She searched round for a minute and found her wand. She waved it around the room and everything jumped into the air and landed neatly in a trunk. Harry eyed it suspiciously thinking that it must have some sort of charm on it to fit all that stuff in. Harry noticed that his and Draco's trunks were also there next to Talitha's.

"Right are we ready then?" Talitha asked.

"Where's Malfoy?" Harry asked nodding towards the trunks.

"Sirius has taken him to fetch his stuff from Malfoy Manor" She grinned at Harry "I would have loved to see the reunion between Sirius and Narcissa"

She handed Harry some floo powder

"Ok ready" she said as she grabbed hers and Draco's trunks. Harry took hold of his own as Talitha disappeared into the fireplace. Harry followed.

Sirius arrived outside Malfoy Manor. He was not looking forward to this. He was glad Remus had offered to come along as well. Sirius glanced up at the large house just as Remus appeared next to him holding onto Draco. Together they all walked up to the front door. Remus rang the door bell as Sirius put his hand reassuringly on Draco's shoulder.

Slowly the door opened.

"Narcissa" Sirius said soberly.

Remus watched as Draco's mother looked from Sirius to Draco, he couldn't decide on which one she hated the most. Narcissa didn't speak but opened the door wider allowing them to enter the house. They all stood in the hall. Narcissa glared at them.

"You know why we're here" Sirius told her "We've just come to get Draco's things and then we'll be gone." Narcissa continued staring at him.

"I'll help you pack" Remus said quietly to Draco and they set of up the stairs. They reappeared a few minutes later with a large trunk. Remus suspected that Narcissa and Sirius had remained silent, staring at each other the whole time they had gone.

"That's everything" Remus told Sirius when they were back down the stairs. Sirius nodded and took hold of the trunk. Remus held onto Draco's arm and they all disapperated back to Remus'

~~~~~~~~~~

Harry fell out of the fireplace at Remus' house and smiled as he looked around. Right up until now he hadn't quite believed he wouldn't be going back to the Dursleys. He sat down in one of the armchairs as Talitha used her wand to take the trunks upstairs.

Crack

Harry got up and went into the kitchen to see that Remus, Sirius and Draco had just arrived with another large trunk. Talitha returned to the kitchen and smiled at the four wizards in front of her.

"Welcome home everyone" she smiled.
