A/N: Ready to find out who exactly is behind the door?? Here you go my dear readers! Thank you so so so so so so much for the reviews!! It really means a lot to me!!!

The pounding went on for a minute or so, growing louder and causing Harry's heart to make death-defying leaps into his throat. He could hear Vernon's angered footsteps from the upstairs. Down the steps he came, thunderous blows on the weak stair steps as he went.

"Who is it?!" Vernon irritably roared at the incoherent visitor. Harry heard the door fly open and someone enter the house. With all his strength and will left over, Harry hoped and wished that by some magical reason, it was Sirius; just like he promised in his note.

The visitor didn't speak the whole while, only making Vernon more cross with him.

"What do you want?!?!" Vernon snarled. Still, the visitor didn't answer. The footsteps grew closer to Harry's cupboard. He desperately fidgeted to make himself appear to be asleep. Harry snapped his eyes shut and tightly held them together. He could hear Uncle Vernon trying to follow the stranger, still yelling like a angered lion. Suddenly, the door to the cupboard flew open. The light from the hall now covered the walls of it.

"Come on, Harry," The inexplicable voice calmly said, obviously ignoring Vernon's shouts. Harry didn't move. "Harry, I'm going to take you away from here," Harry knew that voice. The same dark very friendly voice that had been all too familiar to him; he knew it was Sirius.

"You're not taking him anywhere!!" Vernon hollered, spreading his rather large frame over the front door.

"Yes I am, and there is nothing YOU can do about it!" Sirius firmly replied back. "Let's go, Harry" Sirius said once again, shaking him slightly. Harry turned over in his mattress and looked up at Sirius' bony face. He got up and with all his might, strained to pull his trunk from the corner of the cupboard. "Here, Harry……I'll get that, go fetch anything from your room. I'll keep your uncle here under my watch,"

"Did you here me before!?!? You're not taking him away!"

"What are you going to do about it? Do you know who I am?" Sirius coolly questioned. He laid down the trunk on the floor and stood before it. Vernon stared at him with his beady little eyes barely visible above his chubby cheeks.

"Who are you?" Vernon hissed.

"I believe you might know me….I'm Sirius Black," At this, Vernon coward before him, his eyes went from evilly beady to frightfully scared. "So, I suggest you let Harry and I be on our way,"

"Very well," Vernon muttered, backing away from the door and pretending he would have let him pass anyway, just a Harry appeared beneath the stairs.

"Well, shall we be on our way?" Sirius asked Harry, who nodded in return. Sirius hauled the hefty trunk through the doorway as Harry, carrying his presents and a sack of homework books, followed closely behind him.

Once they had stepped through the door, Harry sighed with relief. He was finally free.

"Harry," Sirius began as they were walking down the cold black street. Harry looked up at Sirius without a word. "Harry, you're never going back there again," Sirius said. Harry's heart nearly skipped a beat.

"Really? You mean…I can come live with you?" Harry asked, hopefully.

"Yes, that is…if you want to," Sirius finished.

"Yes….I'd love to!" Harry replied, very enthusiastically. As they continued walking, Harry couldn't help but think of the life ahead, much like in his third year. Only, this time, he knew it would be for good.

[A/N: Sorry about that little repeat from the third book, as I was typing, it just sort of turned out to be that way!!]

Harry listened to Sirius' shoes click against the street. Ahead of them, the road was barren, almost as if they were traveling through a ghost town. The street lights gave no comfort and all the house seemed to loom over them with vicious snickers. There was silence between the two for a while.

Harry's heart beat furiously with fear, knowing Vernon would be following them soon. Deep in his head, Harry could hear the motor of Vernon's car speeding after them. He could here Vernon grab his gun and stomp through the door angrily. He could hear his grabbing the keys and then using his monster of a car to hunt them down like a wild pack of dogs. It was only a matter of time.

Harry closed his eyes and counted, ready for Vernon to appear. One…..Two….Three……Four…….Five; Bingo. It was real, what Harry had heard was real. Vernon had grabbed his keys. Vernon had grabbed his gun. And now, Vernon was in his car. Blinding lights crawled down their backs, inching closer towards them. Harry pushed Sirius to run. But, Vernon came to close and with on snap, Sirius was on the ground. Blood tickling his neck and staining his shirt red.

"Come on Harry!" Vernon shouted as he drove in direction for Harry. He couldn't see and didn't know what he was tripping over. Sirius gathered up all his might and pulled himself up. He staggered back towards Harry and grabbed his shirt.

"Hold on," Sirius muttered through clenched teeth. Sirius wiped out his wand. "Invisbilia!" He shouted into the dark. In the blink of an eye, Sirius and Harry were gone. And, where they woke up, Sirius laid down once more, suffering horrible pain.
