CHAPTER FIVE

LIGHT AND DARKNESS

Harry woke up few hours' later feeling miserable, he felt like he head snake moving in his stomach. He had shouted at Sirius, and now after his anger faded away he was sorry for it. Sirius was the only family he has, and he shouldn't have acted like that, not when he was trying to protect him. Even if Harry was angry, he should have talked to Sirius, and not act like he did, shout at him, hurting him like that.

Harry looked sadly at Sirius's bed, but he was not there. 'He must be still down stairs talking to Mr. Weasley' Harry thought. 'I should go down and apologize for today, it's the lest I could do after all they did for me'

Harry hesitated for few minutes, than got up from bed and made his way silently downstairs. When he reached the bottom of the stairs, Harry heard voices coming form the kitchen. He tiptoed to the kitchen door and peered in, to see who it was. Sirius, Charlie and Mr. Weasley were talking with Dumbledore by floo. They seemed to be talking about something very grave because they looked very warred. He couldn't hear clearly from were he was, but he could catch something of what they were saying.

".His battle between light and darkens has already started."

'What are they talking about' thought Harry 'battle between light and darkens?'

".It is up to him now; no one can help him on this one. His emotions are on the edges because of that spell.if the other part of him prevails the wizarding world is doomed," said Dumbledore. He sighed and continued "If Voldemort gets hold of him in this state. I don't know if he will remain loyal to us. Even so he will start to drift to the dark side if he doesn't fight the spell back."

'What's going on?' thought Harry 'who are they talking about'

".I don't know but his eyes, sure fritted me." Said Charlie

'His eyes?' Harry thought 'did Charlie see Voldemort? Was he here with the death eaters? But how?'

".But there must be something we can do to help. A spell or a potion any thing" said Sirius

"I'm sorry but we couldn't find anything in, ." said Dumbledore

'Help him?' he thought 'they are not talking about Voldemort. Then who is it they want to help'

".I need you to go back to Remus's house, Sirius," said Dumbledore. "Its not safe there for any-."

"NO" shouted Harry bursting in to the room.

These last few words from Dumbledore struck Harry's hart like poisoned needles. He felt his hart explode with pain and fear. He felt himself shaking with fear of loosing the only family he got. He feared that what he said would make Sirius leave, and he will never see him again.

"Harry!!" gasped Sirius

"No, I don't want you to go Sirius. I don't want you to leave me," said Harry with a tearful voice and eyes

"Harry I-" said Sirius

"I'm sorry I said those things to you, I didn't mean them" he said running and embraced Sirius to him, like he was going to loose him forever. "Pleas Sirius don't go, I'm sorry"

"No, Harry, you're right," Said Sirius sadly. "You don't need my protection anymore. I tried to take the role of a godfather when you didn't need it.I.I have to go.I am needed elsewhere, Harry. I will be more useful there."

"No. You don't know how wrong I was when I said those things. I still need you more then you think," said Harry, his voice not higher then a whisper. "I'm sorry I acted like that, I really am. You're the only family I have. Don't leave me alone again. I leaved twelve years alone, hoping for some one to love me. Hoping for Some one to be happy to see me in the morning, some one to comfort me when I was sad or some one to approve when I was happy. But all I got were glares for every thing I did.I'm sorry I'm so sorry."

Harry was now on his knees, his face in his hands crying, not aware that all the Weasleys head arrived in the room and have heard everything he said. He never liked any one seeing him cry, but at the moment he didn't care if every one saw him shad tears. Every one was silent hearing the sobs of the fifteen-year-old boy who only wanted some one to love him. He knew he was acting like a small child. When he was younger he would never act like that and cry in front of every one but he didn't chare any more. After that dream, after seeing his parents calling him a murderer even if it wasn't real, he became very sensitive.

"Don't leave me Sirius," pleaded Harry "Don't leave me pleas. I didn't complain for sleeping in a cupboard, all I wanted was a smile before I go to sleep. I didn't complain for cooking breakfast every morning, all I wanted was a thanks. I never asked for anything, all I wanted was a hug before I left for school in the morning. Don't leave me alone again"

"Oh Harry, you are not alone" said Mrs. Weasley from behind him and Harry turned around and saw tears streaming on her cheeks. Harry now noticed that every one was in the kitchen. Hermione and Ginny head tears on their faces and the others were looking sadly at him "I know you are not one of my sons, Harry. But believe me, I love you as one of my own" Mrs. Weasley kneeled next to Harry and gave him a motherly hug "You are one of the family, Harry, we all love you"

Harry felt so safe in those motherly arms; he could fall asleep and not noticing. He was feeling more loved every second passed in that embrace. How long he wished for this, and how much he envied all the other children. All his life He envied Dudley; not for the presents he got, that was spoiling. He envied Dudley whenever he heard his aunt singing lullabies to her son to make him sleep. He envied Dudley for every hug he got from his mouthier or father. He envied Dudley whenever his parents talked proudly about him.

"Don't worry Harry we all love you and we will never leave you alone" said Mrs. Weasley

Harry looked up to look at them and they gave him a reassuring smile. He looked at Sirius and he nodded at Harry.

"I'm not leaving you Harry I promise," said Sirius. "I won't be gone for long I will come see you very soon and I will write to you"

"You forgive me than?" asked Harry

"Off course I forgive you. I love you," said Sirius and Harry looked at him with his bright green eyes

"We love you and you are safe here with us," said Mrs. Weasley

"Alas he is not, Molly," said Dumbledore suddenly and every one turned at the fireplace "I'm afraid, Harry have to leave the Barrow"

"Leave the Barrow? To were," said Mrs. Weasley. And every one glared at Dumbledore

"I'm sorry I have to do this, especially now, but he is in grave peril there" said the old professor.

"But we can protect him, we will protect the house" said Mrs. Weasley with Harry still in her arms.

"Albus is right, Molly" said Mr. Weasley. "We can't protect him. Now that they found him, they will send more death-eaters"

"And it would be wise if your family moves as well Arthur" said Dumbledore. "I will arrange with the ministry for a place where you will stay until the kids go back to school. Then it will be safe for you to go back home"

"Then Harry will stay with us?" asked Ron

"No. Harry will be safer at school" said Dumbledore. "In two days Hagrid and professor Snape will be back to Hogwarts. it will be the safest place for Harry at this time. In two days He will get the Hogwarts express which will leave at noon sharp. I will send a friend to keep an eye on him wile on the way. So I suggest that you will gat your school supplies tomorrow morning"

"Can't we go with him at school? We are his friends after all," said Ron.

"I'm afraid that is not possible at this time. This may change further on, but for now you and miss Granger will stay with your parents," said Dumbledore.

"Why cant I be like the others of my age" said Harry still in Mrs. Weasley's arms "I'm sick of this life"

"You must be strong Harry, Especially in times like this." Said Dumbledore. "One day all of this will all be over, and you can leave a normal life. But you must stay strong and fight for it"

"I will try professor," said Harry

"Now you better all go get some rest, it will be a hard day tomorrow" said Mrs. Weasley helping Harry on his feet.

Harry slowly started to walk out of the room, but stopped at the door and turned to face Sirius.

"You promised right?" Harry asked Sirius

Sirius smiled and walked to,Harry. He took a small pendent from his pocket and handed it to Harry "I promised" he said

Harry looked at the pendent in his hand. It was made of silver and had a small stag engraved in it. Undernet there was something engraved in some kind of runic language Harry head never seen before. on the other side there was more runs engraved on it.

"Your futher gave it to me after our sixth year at Hogearts" said Sirius "I promise"

Harry smiled back at him before leaving following Mrs. Weasley.

*

The next day every one woke up early in the morning. Sirius, Bill and Charlie head to leave last night, to go to Dumbledore and arrange for their
stay during the rest of the summer. Harry wasn't happy at all about the
situation, but kept his feelings to himself.

"Dad look at this" said Ron suddenly holding the daily prophet in his hand.

"Let me see" said Mr. Weasley reaching for the paper

JOURNALIST ON THE RUN, PUBLISHER IN COURT AND MADNESS AT HOGWARTS

"It was Black," said the minister of magic Cornelius Fudge after releasing a warrant for the capture of the writer Rita Skeeter "he was the one that attacked Azkaban - the wizard prison - he-who-must-not-be-named is not back. Rita Skeeter only wants to spread panic amongst the wizards and witches of our community. She had been causing trouble for some time now, but this time she went too far" continued the minister "Skeeter wrote that article knowing that Mr. Harry Potter is a disturbed child" It was mss Rita Skeeter herself who wrote the article on the twenty-fourth of June on how disturbed Mr. Potter was and needed to be locked in a mental facility. "The boy kept seeing things that are not there" said the minister after being quested about the boy "soon he will start saying that he can see Thestrals or something, from now on we will go hard on any one who will try to spared lies like these" The ministry did go hard on this case and had also pressed charges against the publisher of the daily prophet Mr. Nile Semor for publishing the writer's work, and was fined the sum of two hundred galleons. At the moment the Aurors are searching for the writer mss Rita Skeeter as well along with the fugitives from Azkaban but they are still avoiding capture. The minister has also placed a bounty of fifty galleons for who ever informs the ministry officials of ant sittings that may help in capturing the criminals.

"Hmm. this story is geting a bit complicated," said Mr. Weasley looking pensively at the paper "I better go to talk to Dumbledore about this" he continued getting up from the table.

Mr. Weasley kissed his wife on the check and disappeared with a faint pop.

"I know something like this was going to happen," said Harry "now every one will thing I'm mental"

"Every thing well be fine Harry, I'm sure Dumbledore will fix this" said Ron and Harry nodded sadly "any way if you ask me you are a bit med to keep reading books during the summer" Ron said and resaved a blow on the head from Hermione and Harry smiled at them. It was nice having friends like them.

Few minuets after Mr. Weasley left to talk to the headmaster the twins, Ron, Harry, Ginny and Hermione pulled on their cloaks and Mrs. Weasley took the flowerpot with the floo-powder.

"Guests first! After you, Harry dear" she said

"Thanks Mrs. Weasley" said Harry taking some glittering floo-powder.

Harry stepped in front of the fireplace and threw the powder in to the fire, and it turned emerald green. Harry stepped in to the fire and called "Diagon alley". The spinning only lasted few seconds and Harry found himself once more face down on the cold stone floor of the Leaky Caldron.

After the twins, Ron, Ginny, Hermione and Mrs. Weasley joined Harry; they made their way for Gringots to get their money. Harry didn't need to go down to his vault this time. He head already collected all the money he needed for his supplies and some more to spend along the year. So he and Ron stayed with Hermione to change her money in to galleons. He was surprised when Hermione started arguing with the goblin about the unfair exchange rate, and was even more when the goblin gave her better rates.

After Hermione collected her money she approached the boys looking extremely satisfied with herself, and head a wide grain on her face. It was unbelievable how Hermione always manages to argue everything her way.

"I will never understand how you do that Hermione," said Ron

"Do what?" she asked

"Oh come on. You managed to argue your way with a goblin. Can you believe it, a goblin?" said Ron shaking his head

"That exchange rate is a day light robbery. Only an idiot will accept that rate," said Hermione

"Thanks a bunch Hermione," said Harry dully and Ron burst in to laughter.

"What??" asked Hermione looking from one to the other.

"Harry. exchanged.a lot.of.money.with.that.rate," laughed Ron

"Oh." said Hermione covering her mouth with her hand to cover her giggle

Harry glared at them and turned around and made his way out into Diagon alley leaving Ron and Hermione behind still laughing at him. Ron and Hermione tried to control themselves and followed Harry outside.

"Oh come on, Harry. don't be mad at me I didn't know" said Hermione trying to put a serous face but with no success. "Look I'm sorry" both Ron and Hermione looked at each other and burst in to laughter once more

"Yeh.right" said Harry

It took Ron and Hermione some time to control themselves from the fresh wave of laughter. Soon the others joined them to outside arrange the time to get back home.

"Ok we will meet at the Leakey Caldron at noon SHARP" said Mrs. Weasley looking sternly at the twins.

"Ok we won't be late," said George in exasperation, and both of them disappeared into the crowed.

'There must have been some trouble down at the volt' thought Harry 'Mrs. Weasley looked really angry with them'

After the twins disappeared from view Mrs. Weasley turned on Harry and he swallowed hard. Harry saw the expression on her face change like magic.

"Now you have a good time dear, and to night I will make a special diner for you. You also have to open your presents to night dear," she said very softly and caressing Harry's check making him blush deeply before she left with Ginny.

"What's wrong with them?" asked Ron in awe, and Harry shrugged watching her walk away.

"So were to first?" asked Ron after some silent moments.

"Flourish and Blotts" said Harry and Hermione in union and then looked at each other and smiled.

"Oh no!! She managed to turn him in to a book worm" Ron murmured in a low whisper.

"What was that!?!?" snapped Hermione at Ron

"Oh nothing.nothing" replied Ron fearfully

"Mr. Ronald Weasley. I heard you say that you know," said Hermione sternly giving him a look that rivaled Mcgonagall's

This time it was Harry's turn to laugh at them. It was good to be back with his friends even if it was only for a day. This sudden thought made him extremely sad, and he stopped laughing. Ron and Hermione seemed to know what he was thinking and stopped there little row.

"What's wrong Harry?" asked Hermione softly

"Oh nothing" he said and sighed deeply "it's just that.I'm a bit sad for not being able to pass the summer with you guys"

"Oh cheer up," said Hermione "come on let's go to the Quidditch supplies shop, what do you say?" Ron looked at her unbelievingly and Harry laughed at them once more.

"Hey there is something wrong with the world today" said Ron in disbelief

"Oh shout up," snapped Hermione.

"OK- OK lets go see what new brooms they've got," said Harry

The three friends made there way through the crowded allay to the Quidditch shop. When they arrived they found a large crowd in front to the shop, trying to get inside.

"Wonder what's going on in there?" asked Ron

"Lets go in and have a look," said Harry edging his way in the shop.

Inside the situation wasn't much different. Excited witches and wizards were all around trying to get a glimpse of the new state-of-the-art racing broom. Harry squeezed his way forward, until he could see the new broom on a golden pedestal.

THE LIGHTNINGBOLT

The Lightningbolt, an upgraded version of the Firebolt maintained the
super-fine handle of ash, treated with a diamond-hard polish. Hand-
numbered with its own registration number was also maintained.
The twigs in the broomtail have been improved to give the
Lightningbolt more balance and pinpoint precision. With these new
improved twigs the Lightningbolt has an acceleration of 0-225 miles an
hour in five seconds. The Lightningbolt is the dream for every
Quidditch player. Price on request. Firebolt owners can..

He couldn't see the last part of the discretion. There were too many wizards pushing there way to see the broom but he didn't mind. So he looked at the broom before he was pushed away. The broom was exactly like his Firebolt, except for its tail and its black polish. The tail seemed to be made of silver twigs, and light seemed to be flowing from it. There was small silver bolt of Lightning next to its name and its registration number.

"Now that is a broom," said Ron from behind Harry.

"Yep. Sure is" said Harry

"Lets go. It's mad in here" came Hermione's muffed voice from behind Ron

After few straggling minutes Harry, Ron and Hermione managed to get out of the shop. It took them few minutes to catch their breaths from all that crowed.

Soon the three of them were going around Diagon alley to get what they needed for the new school year. They went to the apothecary to replenish their potion ingredients. They went to buy new quills, vials of ink and parchment and than to Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions for their new school robes. Ron had already got his, which were the promised present from the twins. But Harry and Hermione head to stay immobile on the stool until Madam Malkin's pined their robes to the right size.

After their robes were ready, Harry, Ron and Hermione made there way to Flourish and Blotts to get their spell books. Harry wanted to get more than just the books for school. He head already finished the books he got the last time, and reread the ones from Knockturn alley. Harry was facing a month at school with no one except the teachers as company, so Harry had to see to it that he doesn't die of boredom.

Flourish and Blotts was nearly empty, which was no surprise. It seemed that every one was fighting his way in to the Quidditch shop and trying to get a glimpse of the new broom. The Desolation of the bookshop was welcoming for, Harry and Hermione, so thay could look around freely.

After getting the books he needed for school Harry and Hermione started searching the large volumes for something of interest. Ron stayed silent sitting on a chair in the corner looking in disbelief at them.

Soon both Harry and Hermione were holding numerous volumes on the subjects they were searching for. Harry was so taken by the books that he didn't notice some one entering the silent bookshop.

"Well, well, well, look who have decided to buy some books today, our Triwizard Tournament champion," said a drawling voice behind Harry.

Harry turned around to see Draco Malfoy looking at him with interest.

"What do you want Malfoy?" said Harry

"Well it seems that the Triwizard Tournament winnings broth some dignity on you" said Draco "even if the company you keep is of the lowest level you could find"

"Your wrong Malfoy" sneered Harry "There is some one who sunk lower in shame, and he is in front of me right now" Ron moved close to Harry in case of any trouble

"Oh your doing charity as well Potter, pitied him, and bout him a new cloak" sneered Draco and Ron went red with fury

"For your information Ron doesn't need my money. I don't have to pay people to pretend to be my friends, Malfoy" snared Harry "I see you didn't pay any for the summer or did they brake the contract with the ferret boy?" at that Draco's pail face turned pink

"Wait till my father hears of this-," said Draco but Harry interrupted him.

"Oh yes your father. The precious heel licking death eater" sneered Harry in a high voice "what is he going to do? Lick Voldemort's heels some more? Or free a monster in the school to try and kill me? Wait.I think he did that already. Not very efficient his he Malfoy"

At the mention Voldemort's name the two shop helpers turned around to look at them to see what was going on. Harry didn't mind them watching him, but Draco didn't seem to like it.

"You have no proof of that" whispered Draco "Watch your back Potter," and turning to leave

"Oh and Draco!!" called Harry in a very arrogant voice "tell your father to watch out when he is around the Dementors. We don't want him to resave the kiss without a trail, do we?" called Harry after Draco and resaved a glare from him before leaving.

Ron and Hermione watched Draco leave the shop and then turned to look at Harry in surprise.

"What got in to you" asked Ron finally "not that I'm complaining, that git deserved all of it, but that wasn't you"

"What do you mean that wasn't me?" asked Harry

"Oh come on. Harry you never acted like this before" said Hermione "it was like you were.another person"

He didn't know either were that came from. It was like the wards came out of his moth without meaning them.

"Yah normally I would have expected you to curse him in to the middle of next week" said Ron

"What then? You wanted me curse the hell out of him and get in treble?" said Harry angrily "you know I can do magic, but I'm not going to abuse it"

"Don't know Harry. Maybe your right" said Hermione

"At least it seems that this year we're going to keep Malfoy in line" said Ron with a grin

"Yah" said Harry heavily

Hermione kept looking at Harry disapprovingly He ignored her and went to the counter with his books, and Hermione followed. Out of the shop Harry, Ron and Hermione made there way trough the crowded street towards the ice- cream pallor, were they spent the rest of their time sitting on a table at the ice-cream pallor eating their ice creams.

Too soon for Harry's liking, they head to meet with the others to go back home, so they went to the Leaky Caldron. When Mrs. Weasley saw Harry, she started to act strangely again towards him, and looking stern towards the twins. This kept going all day, and as Mrs. Weasley head promised for that evening she prepared a very special dinner with Harry's favorite food. When Harry, Ron and Hermione asked the twins about what happened at Gringots, all they got was a "mind your own business".

After diner Harry started opining his birthday presents in the leaving room, Wile every one watched him anxiously. The first one he picked from the small pile was from Hermione and Ron. Harry slowly took wrapping off; it was a book (historical quidditch tactics) a joined idea from both of Ron and Hermione. Harry smiled at himself and thanked for the present and Hermione hugged him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. The next one was from the twins, which was a box full of Zonko's finest jokes. Then there was the one from Hagrid, which turned out to be a photograph in a small roughly cut wooden frame. The photograph was of Harry, Ron and Hermione helping Hagrid with some salamanders they were studying last year.

The last parcel was from Sirius and Remis. Harry was still feeling guilty for the way he treated Sirius, but he forced himself to open the present. It was a leather holster for his wand, which he could fasten on his left forearm. It was also enchanted to be practically invisible under the sleeve and very light when warn, and hold the wand securely until needed. Immediately Harry took his wand from his pocket and sheathed it in the holster, and fasting the holster on his left forearm.

The rest of the evening passed and Harry went in his room to pack his things. He head to magically enlarge his trunk for all his things to fit in it, with all the new books. ' Wonder how Hogwarts will be in the holidays' Harry thought 'hey maybe I can explore some if it without any problems.' Suddenly a knock on the door snapped him out of his thoughts. Harry slowly opened the door, and was surprised to see Ginny behind it.

"G-G-Ginny!!" stuttered Harry and she smiled at him making him go red.

"Can I come in?" she asked shyly

"Y-Y-Yes" he stuttered again moving away from the door letting her enter the room.

After she got in Harry closed the door behind her and took a deep breath. 'Ok its just Ginny, Ron's little sister' he thought trying to control himself and not to blush in front of her. Not that he liked her or any thing or at lest he thought. He didn't even know her; they never talked much in the past years. Not that he didn't want to know her, but she was very shy around him. And now after seeing her two days ago he kept going strange tings in front of her. None of them said anything their gaze to the floor for few moments.

"Err- Harry" she said finally making him look at her and blush "I wanted to give you this, but I didn't want my brothers to see me giving it to you. If they find out they will never leave me alone"

She handed him a small parcel wrapped in colorful wrapping. Harry took it and stared at it not knowing what to do.

"W-w-what is it" he asked and she giggled

"It's a birthday present" she said, "Well are you going to open it?"

"Y-yes r-right" he said and started to take off the wrapping.

Inside the wrapping there was wooden caved box with, and inside there was what looked like a pendent. It was a very small winged lion not more then one-centimeter in size, and it was made of gold. It head its wings spread out like it was flying and it head small green gems as eyes. In the box there was also a golden chine for the pendent.

Harry looked at Ginny in surprise and said "thank you" and she turned red as well.

"When I saw it in the shop display and I saw its eyes.err- I.thought of you.and I thought is was perfect as a birthday present and as thanks for saving me two years ago"

"You didn't have to" said Harry shyly

"Did you like it?" She asked

"Oh y-yes I d-did" he said.

"Well I have another ting for you" she said moving closer to him

Now they were very close and Harry couldn't take his eyes away from her light brown eyes. His hart was tamping painfully hard in his chest, and he stopped breeding.

"W-w-w-what I-is I-it?" he asked

"This" she said giving him a kiss on the cheek

Harry's hart stopped when her lips touched his skin. He felt his face giving out heat, and his stomach turn upside down. His eyes went wide and his mouth went dry.

"See you at school Harry" She said and gave him a small smile leaving him alone.

Harry stayed rooted to the spot staring at the imaginary image of Ginny kissing him. 'what was that' he thought 'she was so.' He stayed there until Ron burst into his room carrying an armful of freshly laundered Hogwarts robes for Harry.

"Hey Harry are you alright?" asked Ron "your all red and sweaty"

"Ha? Oh yes I'm fine" replied Harry.

"What's that in your hand said Ron pointing at the small wooden box in Harry's hand

"Err- nothing" he said quickly closing it and putting it in his pocket. "Thanks for the robs" he added quickly

"Yah see you in the morning" said Ron eyeing Harry suspiciously.

"Good night Ron" said Harry and Ron left the room, and Harry finished packing and went to sleep.

*

By eight in the morning the next day, every thing Harry owned was packed and ready in to his trunk. Hedwig was safely in her cage and Aescul around his neck under his shirt. Even if he was the only one going back to school that morning, there was a great confusion in the house.

After the attack Mr. Weasley head obtained some protections for his family, so they head sent aurors to petrol around the barrow. The ministry was also sending one to the ministry cars for the journey to king-cross-station. Thanks to Dumbledore The ministry also provided a secure house for them for the summer until the twins, Ron and Hermione go back to school. When Mr. Weasley broth this news home every one seemed happy about it, but Harry was feeling guilty that the Weasleys head to move from there house. When he pointed that out, Ron told him not to worry and that the ministry-protected houses were very lecherous and head a pool and a Quidditch pitch so it was going to be a good summer for them.

When the ministry car arrived Harry helped the driver with his truck and climbed in to the backseat with Ron, Ginny and Hermione, and Mrs Weasley got in to the front seat. It didn't take them long to arrive at the station and they head more then half an hour to get to the train.

Harry was used to getting onto platform nine and three-quarters by now. It was a simple matter of walking straight through the apparently solid barrier dividing platforms nine and ten. Harry and Ron went first through the barrier.and as they did so, platform nine and three-quarters materialized in front of them.

The Hogwarts Express, a gleaming scarlet steam engine, was already there, clouds of steam billowing from it. The platform was completely empty except for the station guards making the final preparations for the train to leave. The seen didn't feel right for Harry without all the students and there relatives running around. It was eerie silent without the students the fighting for compartments.

Ron helped Harry with his trunk in one of the compartments and then went back on to the platform to say goodbye to the others.

"Well see you at school then" said Ron getting down from the train.

"Yah" Harry replayed gloomily

"Have a good term dear" said Mrs. Weasley and gave him a hug

"Thanks Mrs. Weasley. And I'm sorry for all the trouble-"

"Don't worry dear, it was nothing. Now go in, the train will leave soon," said Mrs. Weasley

Harry turned on Hermione "I will send Hedwig when I get there, and try not to drive Ron nuts" he said and Hermione gave him a small hug.

"Take care Harry," she said

Next to Hermione there was Ginny and when he looked at her she gave him a small smile. That morning she was acting like nothing happened the night before. 'Well nothing happened' he thought 'she just gave me a kiss on the check. Hermione did it and nothing was wrong. So why should be different with Ginny, all girls do that'

"See you at school" he said to her and got on the train and looked out from the compartment window.

"See you Harry," she said smiling and Harry smiled back.

The train began to move. Harry waved to his friends from the compartment window until they disappeared as the train rounded the corner sadness increase in his chest. Houses flashed past the window and soon were replaced by fields full of cows and sheep. He was going back to Hogwarts for a new term. He couldn't imagine what this year would bring, and who the new defense against the dark arts teacher will be.

He was quiet watching the fields and lanes flick past deep in his thoughts when the compartment door slid open. 'Must be the women with the lunch trolley, good I'm starving" thought Harry. Harry looked and his mouth fell open.
