~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Today was July 30th. Harry was sitting on the edge of his bed at 3:00, wondering when and how the Weasleys were going to come and get him. He went back and opened up his trunk to make sure he had packed everything, for the tenth time. Just then, he heard the doorbell ring, not once, but five times. Harry ran down the stairs to the door right before Uncle Vernon got there.
"Harry!" said a grinning Ron Weasley.
"Hey Ron," he replied.
"Hello Mr. Weasley," said Harry.
Behind him was Ron, the unmistakable Fred and George, and Remus Lupin, the only person that he had left who knew his father and Sirius.
"Hello Harry," said Remus.
"Hi!" said Harry.
"Harry, is you trunk ready?" asked Mr. Weasley?
"Yea, it's in my room," said Harry.
"We'll go get it," said the twins in unison.
They ran up the stairs to get Harry's trunk. Right when they turned the corner upstairs, Harry thought he saw shiny, colored candy sticking out of Fred's pocket, which put a smile on his face. It reminded him of the time when Fred dropped some candy out of his pocket that Dudley ate which made his tongue grow 4 feet.
"So how has your summer been Harry," asked Remus.
"Okay, I guess," he said.
Just then, Fred and George bolted down the stairs with Harry's trunk and Hedwig's cage, both grinning mischievously.
"Here you go Harry," said George.
"Thanks you guys," said Harry.
"No problem," said Fred.
They got Harry's trunk and Hedwig's cage into the back of the car and everyone else got in.
"So George, all you guys did was get my trunk from my room right?" asked Harry.
"Oh, of course," said George.
Right before they got in the car, Fred whispered to him, "Oh, and by the way, we spilled some candy in your room and in the hallway. I hope that's okay with you," he said grinning.
"Oh, of course, I can eat it when I get back," said Harry sarcastically.
After about ten minutes, Fred, George, and Remus were in a deep conversation about their joke shop. Harry looked over to see Ron snoring. He decided to just shut his eyes for a while.
~*~
"Harry, Harry we're here," yelled Ron in his ear.
Harry awoke with a start. He saw Ron above him.
"Oh, okay," said Harry.
Harry got out of the car and made his way into the house. Before he even was able to catch a glimpse of the house, Hermione pulled him into a bear hug.
"Oh, Harry. I'm so glad you're here. I missed you so much. I just got here too. Good job on your O.W.L.S.!! I can't believe I got all nine!!," said Hermione.
"I can," said Harry and Ron simultaneously.
At that, Hermione's face turned deep red.
Just then, Mrs. Weasley pulled Harry into another hug.
"Oh, Harry it's so nice to see you again. How was your summer?," she asked.
"It was ok I guess," said Harry.
"Well Ron, why don't you and Hermione help Harry take his stuff upstairs. I'll call you down when dinner is ready," she said.
The trio went upstairs only to meet Ginny Weasley, the only girl of the family, on her way down.
"Hullo Ginny," said Harry.
"Hi Harry. How was your summer?" she asked.
"Ok I guess," said Harry.
They went up to Ron's room and Harry sat down on the bed.
"So, any new on Voldemort?" asked Harry.
At that, Ron flinched and Hermione jumped in the air a bit.
"Well, not really. We're not in the Order so they won't tell us anything. Have you had any strange dreams lately?" asked Hermione.
"Well." said Harry.
"What is it?" asked Hermione.
"Ok, I had this dream where I was in Voldermort's head again. He was talking to Wormtail and Malfoy about getting some 'plans' done but he didn't say what about. Then he started talking about some torch then he realized I was in his head and I woke up," said Harry.
"Of course, Malfoy had something to do with this," said Ron furiously.
"I wonder what he was talking about when he said torch," asked Hermione.
"I went over to Ms. Figg's house and she said she didn't know anything out it. I wrote to Remus but I never got a reply. I was going to ask him about that but I never remembered," said Harry.
For the next hour, they sat there talking about Voldermort, Quidditch, and their 6th year at Hogwarts.
"So when are we going to Diagon Alley," said Harry.
"Well mum said she would take us in two weeks," said Ron.
"I have so many new books to get," said Hermione.
Ron and Harry sniggered. Just then, Harry remembered what Fred and George had done and told them.
Ron laughed. "Again? I can't believe your cousin would be that stupid to eat some more candy he found in your room. I wonder what kind it was?"
"Maybe he'll grow a green tongue this time!" said Harry, laughing.
Just then, Mrs. Weasley called them down to dinner and the went downstairs.
They ate their dinner. As Harry sat down, he realized how hungry he was since the Dursleys hadn't given him anything to eat since 7am when he had two pieces of toast. They ate quickly and silently for obviously everyone was starving.
After they had finished, he thanked Mrs. Weasley for the delicious dinner.
"Thank you Harry," she said. "Now everyone, time for bed."
Harry, Hermione, Ginny, Ron, Fred, and George went up the stairs.
"Goodnight Hermione, Ginny, Fred, and George," said Harry as they departed to go their separate ways to their own rooms.
"Yea, goodnight," said Ron with a yawn.
"Goodnight," said Ginny, Hermione, Fred, and George.
Harry and Ron went into their room and changed into their pajamas.
"G'night Ron," said Harry.
"G'night," said Ron, and with that Harry fell into a deep sleep.
~*~
Only one couple were still battling, apparently unaware of the new arrival. Harry saw Sirius duck Bellatrix's jet of red light: He was laughing at her. "Come on, you can do better than that!" he yelled, his voice echoing around the cavernous room.
The second jet of light hit him squarely on the chest.
The laughter had not quite died from his face, but his eyes widened in shock.+Harry released Neville, though he was unaware of doing so. He was jumping down the steps again, pulling out his wand, as Dumbledore turned to the dais too.
It seemed to take Sirius an age to fall. His body curved ina graceful arc as he sank backward through the ragged veil hanging from the arch..
And Harrys saw the look of mingled fear and surprise on his godfather's wasted, once-handsome face as he fell throught the ancient doorway and disappeared behind the veil, which fluttered for a moment as though ina high wind and then fell back into place.
Harry geard Bellatrix Lestrange's triumphant scream, but knew it meant nothing--- Sirius had only just fallen throught the archway, he would reappear from the other side any second..
But Sirius did not reappear.
"SIRIUS!" Harry yelled, "SIRIUS!"
Harry woke up suddenly, with the bed sheets soaked in sweat still yelling Sirius's name. He had these nightmares every night. The same one. He couldn't take it anymore.
Ron sat up and looked over at Harry who was still shaking. "Are you alright Harry?"
"Yea, yea I'm fine," he said, stuttering.
They heard the floor boards creak and knew that Mrs. Weasley had heard him scream and was coming down stairs to check on him. The door opened.
"Is everyone ok?" she asked and went over to Harry.
"Oh my, Harry are you ok? Do you need anything?" she asked worryingly.
"No, I'm fine now," said Harry.
"Okay you two go back to sleep," she said and left the room.
Harry laid back down hoping nothing else would disturb his dreams that night.
