After the trip to Dumbledore's office, he reappeared back in Harry's room. Seeing that Harry wasn't in the room, he walked down the stairs into the kitchen. What he saw there shocked him greatly. Harry was writhing on the floor, glasses askew, clutching his scar. The Dursleys were standing metres away from Harry, faces white. Dudley was cowering behind his father. Sirius was at a loss. He walked towards Harry and slapped Harry with his paw. Unfortunately, that gave Harry 3 vivid claw marks on his face. Sirius backed away, then he remembered that he could enter Harry's thoughts. Sirius shut his eyes and thought hard. He found himself in a room where Harry was watching from the corner while Wormtail was being tortured by the Cruciatus curse. Without even thinking, he plunged his hand into his robes and pulled his wand. He was surprised he had his wand with him.

"Stupefy! Stupefy!" Sirius bellowed trying to stun Voldemort.

Voldemort's face held a malicious grin. As he raised his head to look at Sirius, his grin grew wider. He drew his wand up and pointed it at Sirius.

"AVADA KEDAVRA!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Harry screamed, finally awake.

"No, no, it can't be… " Harry said as he saw the stationary body of the black dog beside him. Harry put a hand on the body and realized that although the body lay still, there was still a heartbeat and the dog was panting. Harry smiled and started telling the Dursleys "He's not dead! He's not dead!"

"Hey kid, I know you're really glad I haven't managed to die yet but I need a little help here." Sirius told Harry as he tried to get up on his four feet.

"Don't call me a kid!"

"Okay, okay… "

Harry helped Sirius to his room and sat on the floor. He looked right into Sirius' face and said "That was dangerous, you know."

"I knew that… But it was just a dream… I'll live!"

"You know these dreams aren't ordinary dreams."

"I know, I'll be careful next time okay?"

"Lets hope there isn't a next time." Harry muttered.

The next few weeks passed rather well. On the eve of Harry's birthday, Harry persuaded Sirius to stay awake until midnight. At midnight, Sirius sang a birthday song for Harry. A barn owl swept through the window and landed on Sirius' back. Harry released the owl off its load and it flew away. He recognized the letter as his Hogwarts letter. He opened it and read it.

"Just the same stuff, a few new books that's all…."

The letter reminded him of something.

"I should have gotten Ron and Hermione's presents by now." Harry said sadly

"Cheer up, I have a surprise for you!" Sirius said.

"What is it?"

"It wouldn't be much of a surprise if I told you, would it?"

"Okay…"

"Come down into the living room first will you? This present is much too big to fit in here."

Harry nodded and went downstairs with Sirius.

"Close your eyes, put your hand on my back and follow me."

Sirius walked out of the door, out of the house.

"Sirius, where are we going?" Harry asked, curious.

"Hush, you'll see soon enough."

Harry felt a whoosh and he began to worry. He heard a door open from opposite him.

"Okay, you can open your eyes now."

Harry opened his eyes. Before him, everything was pitch black. And before he knew it, the lights were on.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARRY!!!!!"

A/N: I really really in need of some ideas here for presents…. Please help!! I've only came up with Sirius' present!! Dumbledore, Remus, all Weasleys (except Perce), Moody, Tonks, Kingsley and Hermione will all be there. If there are not enough presents, I will have no choice but to find some reason to cut them out…
