A/N: Here's the next chapter. Disclaimer is in the first two chapters and I can't be bothered to write it again. I need reviews or I might not continue. I will write 5 chapters, including the prologue and 1st Chapter. If I do not have 20 reviews by then, then I won't finish it. With that said here's the 2nd Chapter.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Green trees and fields passed in a blur as the train sped by. Excited voices filled the train as the students of Hogwarts talked about the upcoming year. In one compartment a girl could be found with her nose in a book. Two boys accompanied her. The boys were playing exploding snap when the food trolley came by. The three friends looked up and feasted themselves on chocolate frogs and pumpkin pies.

Ron bit into his pie and grinned at his best friend Harry. He had noticed that Harry had changed, physically and mentally. He wasn't sure if Harry had noticed the changes himself. He doubted it. Harry had grown over the summer. He was now at average height. He had become more muscular, but not overly so. He was still pale and his eyes still glowed bright green, but his hair had tamed itself. It was longer, curling at the base of his neck.

Ron had also noticed a seriousness and confidence growing in his friend. He was finally coming out of his shell. Many people thought that he didn't notice these things, but Ron had gotten to know Harry well and thought him a brother. He himself had also grown mature as had their friend Hermione. She had lost some of her bossiness, unfortunately she was as stubborn as ever. She had also noticed the changes in both her friends. Both had matured and she couldn't help but feel proud of them. She wouldn't want any other friends than the two she had now.

The three entered the Great Hall and headed for the Gryffindor table. They greeted their friends and conversation struck up. Soon after the Hall went quiet as the 1st years came in after McGonagall. The sorting and speeches finished and the food appeared. Harry ate slowly savoring the rich foods. He sighed and smiled as he looked around him. He was happy to be back at Hogwarts. The summer had gone by slow, fortunately without anymore strange dreams. The dream was disregarded as being a nightmare and only a nightmare.

After dinner the students walked tiredly to their dorms, sleep gaining on them now that they had filled their bellies and the excitement of the day wore off. Harry and the rest of the 5th year boys treaded up the stairs, quickly got changed in their pj's and crawled into their beds. Harry lay in bed thinking for a while before sleep closed itself on him.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

A scream woke Harry up with a start. He jumped out of bed grabbed his glasses and looked around. All the other boys were still sleeping. The scream had been from a girl, he was sure of it. Harry ran downstairs into the common room. The fireplace was still burning, bathing the dark room in gold. Harry looked around for anyone, but saw no one. The girl screamed again, closer, in the same room as Harry. Harry whirled around looking for the girl. The common room was empty.

The fire flickered and went out filling the room with inky black darkness. Harry stood still. There was nothing that would have caused the fire to go out. The fire was meant to burn all night. Harry listened carefully and heard the soft inhaling of breath. The sound seemed to fill the common room, getting louder and louder. He whirled around when he heard soft footsteps run up the stairs.

Harry followed bumping into various objects. Cursing softly, Harry could make out the open door leading into the boy's dormitory. He ran in and stopped at the door. The window was open, bringing with it a cold breeze. By the dim light of the half moon Harry looked around the dorm. The beds were overturned, clothes littering the floor. The desks and beds had all deep scratch marks on it. The same marks as the ones he had seen in the dream he had at the Dursleys.Harry ran to the beds and began searching for his classmates. The bed sheets were bloodied but held no sign of any of the boys.

Harry looked at each bed and in the bathroom and anywhere a person could hide, but found no one. The door suddenly slammed shut. Harry whirled around and was struck down from behind. Harry fell to the floor and groaned. He opened his eyes and saw sunlight streaming through the windows. Frowning he got up from the floor and looked over at the other beds. The beds weren't overturned and sound of people waking up drifted to Harry. Ron peaked his head out from behind his bed drapes. He yawned and climbed out of bed. "Morning" he muttered to the room and shuffled to the bathroom.

Harry sat down on his bed and held his head. Another dream, it had only been another dream. "Are you okay, Harry?" Harry looked up and saw Seamus looking at him in concern. "Yeah, just have a head ache" Harry murmured trying to smile. "Okay, if you say so" Seamus replied looking doubtfully at Harry before shrugging and heading to the bathroom for a shower.
