Authors Note: HeHe I love my cliffies. You never want to leave, you just want more and more. LoL. Anyway, I have to say, this was one of my most favorite chapters to write, this and the next two that are already written. *giggles* Yes, they are on paper, but aren't typed. Maybe tonight. Oh, and if anyone who would like to be my beta, please leave a review and/or e-mail me. I only want people who have written a Harry Potter fanfic. Sorry, but I want to be able to read your stuff first. ;) Later. -Kat

Chapter 6
Suprise, Suprise!
Author Weasley pulled up into The Burrow's driveway and had the ministry driver take everyones things. Harry entered the back of the car with Ginny and Ron. Once they got to Kings Cross, Mrs. Weasley pulled them into a rib crushing hug, muttered something about them not being babies anymore, and sent them on their ways. The three of them met up with Hermione and they, Ron as their guest, went into the Head Boy and Girl compartment. Ginny reluctantly went the other way into the prefects car. The train went on it's way.
Sooner than usual, because they were in the front train, the trolly with the candy was there. Harry, as a tradition, bought everyone something, and sent the woman to the prefects cart with chocolate frogs and every flavor beans to Ginny. He felt guilty.
*****
As soon as Harry got the first years to Hagrid, he was pulled aside by Professor McGonagall. She looked totally besides herself, but she was smiling broadly.
"Mr. Potter!" She was running towards him, or trying to in the massive crowd. She was waving her hand over her head like she was trying to get his autograph. He laughed at the thought.
"Yes, professor?"
"There was an urgent message from Dumbledore for you to meet with him right away. You must portkey to him in his office now. There you go." She handed him a small rock and he felt the familiar jerk behind his navel. The world disappeared from in front of him, and he found himself moments later on Dumbledore's floor.
"Nice of you to drop by, Harry." He laughed and straightened himself out.
"You called for me? Urgent? Is Sirius fine?"
"Yes, yes, and yes." He beckoned Harry to sit down.
Harry looked quizically at Dumbledore. "I would have thought you'd have guessed by now. I must mark my mistake on the callendar." He chuckled and his eyes twinkled at Harry. "Sirius is more than just fine, in fact, I haven't seen him look this good in ages. He's quite happy, you know, being free and all."
Harry jumped up and down for a good few minutes. He was laughing and crying at the same time. He was beside himself. He would have never guessed in a million years. "I love the element of suprise and suspense. It brought me much joy."
"Merlin's beard, Professor! I can't believe it!"
"That you brought me joy?" His eyes were twinkling more than ever.
"Good one, sir."
"I thought so, myself. So, Harry. Sirius is free. He wants to to meet with him tonight, in his office. He wants to make plans. Big plans." He smiled, knowing he had a secret, and Harry wouldn't know until tonight. "Here." He handed Harry a letter.
Dear Harry,
Well, since I'm very sure Dumbledore has taken it apon himself to tell you, I will only say one word: "Suprise!" Meet me tonight in my office. We have a lot to discuss. Well, I'll see you tonight at the feast.
Sirius
PS. I know something you don't know, ha ha ha!
"He is such a child. Rubbing stuff in my face like you did. Oh--" Harry realized what he said before he heard Dumbledore chuckle behind his hand. "Uh, Professor? Sirius said he's going to be here tonight?" Harry was confused. "He also said to meet him in his office?"
"Oh dear, I plum forgot. There is another suprise awaiting you tonight. Harry, listen, we must go, the sorting his going to start in 10 minutes. We both must be there, I know, plentry to talk about."
"Oye. I don't know how many more suprises I can take." Harry's head was spinning. When they reached the great hall, Harry realized that there was an extra chair set at the teachers table. He noticed there to be an extra defense agaist the dark arts chair. That and Snape looked quite smug. 'Oh my he is,' Harry thought to himself.
"Hey mate, what did Dumbledore want?" Ron looked a little worried.
"Oh, you'll see soon enough." Harry couldn't contain it any longer. "Oh to hell with it!" Hermione shot Harry a look that was between scolding and quizical. "HE'S FREE!" The whole table stopped and looked at Harry. Ginny ran over to him and hugged him. Ron did a wonderful impression of a goldfish, and Hermione was jumping up and down screaming. She sat down and composed herself, blushing like mad. "Wow, Harry, wow." That was all they could say.
"That's not all!"
"What?!" Ginny stopped hugging him and looked at him.
"He's here tonight. I think he's our new Defense teacher, along with Lupin!"
"Woah." They all sat there, waiting impatiently, hoping...Harry was the first to speak.
"Snape looks pissed." Hermione shot him a look that could kill, clearly saying "You're head boy, keep your mouth clean."
"I know, 'Mione. Ther's just no other way to describe his face right now." He heard the Great Hall doors open. "Finally."
"Oh my, Harry, look who just went to the head table!" Ginny was pulling on his cloak, vigorously. He turned and saw him.
"I knew it."

Authors Note: HaHa I'm evil. Want more? Beg and plead...then maybe. Oh, and sorry about the chapter being so short, really, I am.
Time for thank you's!
Esperanza- Thank you for the lovely review, and I'm glad you feel that way about my preceptive on Gin. Harry is not the perfect boyfriend all the time. ;) He will have flaws. As for Minnesota, I know the feeling, my best friend lived there all her life and couldn't find a decent guy. LoL. But that's the same thing all over. :)
Blondie55- Loyal fans rock, man. At least I know you're all liking my stuff. lol. That's a total ego booster.
dementorchic- Glad you couldn't wait. Here you are!
MeH- Thanks for the compliment. I like them. :)
Punkin- I'm glad you can relate to the story. :) Thanks for the review.
Snowy Days- I'll try ;)
Lilia- There was no reason to be offended. You were only questioning me ( question myself too, being that I'm a total prat. :). It's a free world, dear. Your reviews are lovely, keep them coming. I'm glad you like my Harry. :)
