The portkey landed on Grimmauld Place. They all looked at Sirius's house that popped out between numbers 11 and 13.
Tonks opened the door to the house and walked inside closely followed by the rest of the group. Everything was dark. It looked like nobody was home. But the house looked livable. Harry looked around to see if the portrait of Sirius's mum was still hanging. It was.
Tonks tiptoed up the stairs and gestured to Harry to open the door to the drawing room. Harry walked up past Hermione and Ron and opened the door.
"SURPRISE!!!"
A look of bewilderment went across Harry's face as he was registering everything in. He looked around the room and saw the smiling faces Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Ginny, Fred and George, Bill, Moody, Kingsley, and Mundungus Fletcher.
Ron, Hermione, Tonks, Lupin, and Sirius went around Harry, into the room. Harry looked on the walls. There was a sign that read, "Happy 16th Birthday, Harry!" with little Quidditch players moving around the poster. It flashed colors of scarlet and black.
"Well, happy birthday, Harry," said Sirius with a big smile.
The summer went by quickly. After Harry's birthday party (his first ever!), Ron, Hermione, Harry, and Ginny had a ball at Grimmauld Place. Sirius was happy to finally be spending time with his godson. But before they knew it, it was August 31.
"Where is my prefect badge?" asked Ron.
"Look on your bed, where you left it," said Harry.
Ron picked up his badge and pinned it carefully to his robes.
"Now, are you all packed up?" asked Mrs. Weasley as she walked into their room. Mrs. Weasley set down clean clothes on their beds.
"Almost, Mum," answered Ron.
"All right, but be quick, we're leaving early tomorrow morning," said Mrs. Weasley. "Good night, boys."
The next morning, everyone scrambled around to leave on time. Before they walked out the door, Sirius pulled Harry aside.
"Remember the mirror this time," said Sirius with a smile. "It can contact me and you don't have to go breaking into any teacher's office to use the fire."
"Okay, Sirius," said Harry loudly, hoping to forget when Umbridge caught him in her office. He hugged Sirius, who gave him a big hug back.
"Now you have fun. And don't do anything I wouldn't do."
"Okay, Sirius. I'll come back over Christmas, okay?"
Sirius nodded. Harry followed Ron and the rest of them to the front hall. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Mrs. Weasley, Lupin, Tonks, and Moody were going to the train station by using the Underground.
"Uh, Harry?" called Sirius, as Harry was about to walk out.
"Yes?" he answered as he turned to look at Sirius.
"Hope you have a better Defense teacher this year," said Sirius with a big smile on his face. "No, actually, I know you'll have a better Defense teacher this year."
"What? Okay," said Harry.
Sirius grinned and ran upstairs.
"Well, that's weird. Last year he didn't even want us to leave and now he's all smiley and giddy?" thought Harry.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry stepped off the train and looked around. He heard Hagrid somewhere, calling for the first years. He went to the carriages and saw the thestrals again. Harry winced and climbed into the carriage with Ron, Ginny, and Hermione. They got off in the great hall and walked toward the Gryffindor table.
During the Sorting, Harry and Ron looked at the head table. They saw all familiar faces and one new one.
"Who do you think she is?" asked Ron.
"Obviously the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher," answered Harry.
"I bet you 20 Galleons she won't come back next year," said Ron.
Harry looked at him and rolled his eyes. "Yeah, that'd be a really fair bet. Nobody has stayed in the post for longer than a year."
At the head table, Dumbledore stood up and cleared his throat. Everyone quieted down as they saw him stand. "To our first years - welcome!" Dumbledore looked around the Great Hall and beamed at the sight of the scared little faces. "To our old friends - welcome back! Now, no time to chat, let's all eat!" Food appeared out of nowhere and everyone in the Great Hall began to eat. Chatter filled throughout the hall as everyone started to catch up on old times.
As soon as everyone had finished eating, Dumbledore stood once more. Everyone stopped talking and turned to look at Dumbledore. "Now that we are all fed, I will announce the usual start-of-term notices. First years ought to know that the forest is out of bounds to students. Some of our older students should know that by now, too. "Mr. Filch, our caretaker has asked me once more to remind you that magic is not permitted in the corridors between classes. A number of other things that are not permitted in the corridors can be found on an extensive list fastened to Mr. Filch's office door."
"Tryouts for the House Quidditch teams will take place next Friday. See Madam Hooch to sign up," "And finally, due to the unfortunate circumstances of our last Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, the post was once again empty." He gestured to the woman sitting next to him. "Miss Annika Black has graciously accepted my offer to fill the spot."
A round of polite applause sounded through the Great Hall. Harry noticed that Malfoy was particularly excited with the new teacher and clapped hard for her. Ron nudged Harry and nodded to the head table. They saw Snape give a small smile to Annika, as she nodded toward him. They watched Annika look around the Great Hall, stopping at the Slytherin table. She and Malfoy eyed each other and Malfoy smiled. Annika raised her eyebrow and gave a small smile to Malfoy.
Ron looked at Harry and said, "Do you think she's somewhat close to Malfoy?"
Harry shrugged and yawned. All he wanted was to get back to his dormitory and go to sleep.
