1. No Escaping the Past
Prologue
"I can't believe that Sirius is dead." Harry thought this for the thousandth time this summer.
In his previous year Voldermort had sent his death eaters to get the prophecy from the Ministry of
Magic's Department of Mysteries. Harry had gone there thinking Sirius was there and he needed to
save him. Instead it ended up that Voldermort had set a trap and had almost killed him too. Sirius
had come and had been killed by his own cousin.
Harry couldn't sleep. He looked at the clock and saw that it was 1:00 AM. Just then he saw a large
shape flying towards his window. Then he realized that it was five smaller shapes. One was his
snowy white owl, Hedwig. One of the others he instantly recognized as Pig, Ron's miniature owl.
The third was a huge screech owl. The other two were barn owls. He quickly opened his window to
let them in.
The screech owl dropped his parcel on the bed and quickly flew back out the window. Hedwig, Pig,
and one of the barn owls landed on his bed. The second barn owl landed on his desk and held out its
leg. Tied to it were a letter carrying the Hogwarts crest and a package with Hagrid's handwriting on
it. He quickly relieved it of it's burden and it two flew off into the night. Next he undid the other barn
owl's package. He saw it was from Luna Lovegood, a girl he had met last year that was in Ginny's
year. That owl took a drink from Hedwig's water bowl and it too left. Now the only owls left were
Pig and Hedwig. On Pig's parcel he saw Ron's untidy scrawl and on Hedwig's he saw Hermione's
neat handwriting. After untying both of the parcels, they flew over to Hedwig's cage and went to
sleep.
In Ron's gift there were a note and a necklace with a charm that looked like a unicorn's horn. The
note read:
Harry,
This is a Unishild. It has a unicorn horn powder in it. It will protect you from most common curses,
jinxes, and spells. Mum is making all of us wear them. We got them from Percy scene he is still
working for Fudge. Funny how he came back asking us to forgive him when Fudge told them that
You-Know-Who is back. Well, see you on September 1.
Ron
Harry put the charm on and turned to Hermione's present. He found a book on Dark Arts, a package
of Chocolate Frogs, and another sneakoscope that was bigger then the one that Ron had given him
three years ago. With it was a birthday card.
From Hagrid he received a birthday card and a brand new belt complete with a special spot for his
wand. He put it on and found that it was a perfect fit. He also found that it fit his wand perfectly.
It ended up that Luna had sent him this month's copy of the Quibbler and a case of Chocolate Frogs.
Finally, Harry turned to the mysterious package that the screech owl had sent him. He opened it and
found a crystal in the shape of a ball about the size of a snitch. He picked up the ball and saw a card
underneath it. He picked up the card and instantly he scar began burning. At that time Harry knew
that he never should have touched the crystal. As everything began to spin and turn black, he then
knew who had sent him the package.
