Harry looked at them for a while, wondering what he should do with them. He wasn't really in a hurry to get the professors here, Professor Villjé would be upset. She didn't like it when they fought, and he really didn't want to get into a detention the first day back. While wondering what the problems of leaving them there would be, he suddenly sensed he was no longer alone. Whirling around, he came face to face with a big, black dog. A dog he hadn't expected to see till summer at least. Harry felt his jaw drop and his legs become slightly unstable.
Sirius noticed Harry looking at him, but he was still in shock over what he had just witnessed. Remus had told him what had happened that night in the great hall, when they thought Ron had died, but it hadn't really sunk in. Harry fighting, without magic, and with his fists like some muggle kid helped him understand how much Harry had distanced himself from active magic. Sure, the kid had proved that his friends and him continued studying and practising magic, but as many wizards did, they didn't depend on it. Suddenly he was startled out of his thoughts when two strong arms wrapped themselves around his neck. Looking at his side, he saw Harry had buried his head in his soft fur. With a contented sigh, Sirius shook away the image of the fighting Harry and let his mind focus on the kid that was now hugging him. Gently, he nuzzled his face and licked him softly on the check. Harry looked up smiling.
"You know you nearly shocked me to death, do you?"
Sirius growled a little. Him? Him shocking Harry to death? What did the kid think his letter had done to him? Seemingly understanding what the big dog was thinking, Harry stood up and looked at the ground, slightly embarrassed. "You are going to lecture me latter, right?"
Sirius let out a soft bark and then started to push the boy to the main grounds. He was sure there was someone waiting for him. Harry sighed and nodded in understanding. "Will you be here when I come out?"
Padfoot rolled his eyes as good as he could, the boy could be a little dense sometimes, he sure hadn't gone through all the trouble of finding his godson to spend a few minutes with him. Harry smiled, supposing Sirius was going to be there, and with a last pat on the dog's head he left.
Hermione and Ron were waiting for him, sitting under a tree a little separated from the main crowd. They had started eating without him, quietly talking about the new assignment they had got in math. They both looked up when he sat down next to them and smiled.
"What happened Dragon?" Phoenix tucked some hair behind her ear. "It's not like you to be late."
Harry nodded and put out his lunch. "Hector and his little gang were at it again, they were terrorising a first year. Had to use a little of brute force to subdue them."
He began to eat silently. Hermione was frowning. "Did you warn someone?"
Harry looked up startled. "I forgot. You see, just when I was debating whether to warn a teacher or not, Snuffles came out of the bushes."
Hermione and Ron looked up sharply. "Snuffles? Are you sure?"
Harry sat back, leaning against the tree. "Yes, I'm sure." Then he cringed a little. "He didn't seem very happy."
Hermione snorted. "Well, if he is here, that means he doesn't agree with you. I guess he was worried."
Harry grumbled a little, but then his attention was drawn to a group of girls that was nervously approaching them. They stopped in front of them and the three teenagers looked up at them questioningly. Ron smiled pleasantly at the girls, noticing how nervous they were. "Can we help you with something?"
One of the girls stepped forward, and Harry recognised her as the one he had helped. "I just wanted to thank you, Dragon. I was really afraid they were going to hurt me."
Harry smiled gently at her. "Don't worry, honey, they are not going to annoy you in a while. If you ever need help you just have to come talk us, ok?"
The girl nodded and after saying thanks again left with her friends. Ron snorted. "Ah, all in the life of a big brother. You guys realise we are nearly the siblings of every young student in this school, right?"
Hermione laughed. "Sure we do, but you know you love it as much as we do."
Ron blushed a little, but nodded. Soon the bell rang indicating that lessons were about to start again, and the three friends left among their classmates.
Harry passed through the few lessons he had that evening thinking about his godfather, it had really taken him by surprise and he wasn't sure what he would do about him, or what to expect. He really didn't know Sirius all that well. When the bell indicating the finishing of lessons rang, he almost ran out of the room, ignoring everyone in his rush to get to his godfather. He didn't even hear the professor saying she had an announcement to make. Everyone in the room was looking at the open door startled. Dragon, Griffin and Phoenix were nearly always the last ones to leave the classroom, they always had some question to ask or they simply waited till most of the students had left so they could walk out in peace. On the other hand, Hermione and Ron were smirking at the hurry their friend seemed to have. Shaking her head, Hermione turned to the professor, that was looking a little put out and gently asked what the announcement was. Professor TarÃs snapped out of her reverie and nodded to her. "Tomorrow some students will be joining us from a boarding school in Scotland, they will be here for two weeks, and the teachers and I ask you to make them feel welcome."
Everyone nodded and someone asked, "What's the name of the school?"
The teacher looked at her papers. "It's a very small school, nearly no one has heard about it so I doubt you can find anything regarding the school, but its name is Hogwarts."
