A/N: I would really appreciate reviews, as this will help me achieve my all time goal of becoming a better writer. Disclaimer: No, I don't own any of the characters or places that appear in this story, or some of the rhyme ideas.

PLEASE REVIEW!!!! I need suggestions for some plot/action ideas still, if you would like to input them. Well, anyway, here's what you were waiting for:

Chapter 6: The Return to Hogwarts

Harry, Hermione and Ron stepped off the train to the Hogwarts grounds. Harry was glad to be off the train, as the attack really shook him up a lot.

"Whooo, I don't know if I can make it through the feast, those Dementors' really got to me! I need some rest!" Harry said with exasperation. He was still holding onto Hermione a little bit, she was being very kind to him.

"Puh, come on Harry, it wasn't so bad" Ron said with assurance.

"If you were him, you'd know!" Hermione said defensively.

"Since when do you know everything about Harry?!" Ron yelled back

"Please guys!! Don't fight over me! Let's just get this feast over with, I can't wait to get to sleep!" Harry spoke to both of them, with great tiredness in his voice.

They got into a carriage with the Thestral's pulling them towards Hogwarts. The Thestrals did not help Harry's mood, they only made him think about Sirus more. Even so, Harry was happy that he was on his way to the Great Hall, he would get to sit down for a long time.

He got off of the carriage, and began to walk toward the entrance of Hogwarts.

All three of them walked into the Great Hall, and sat down, proudly, at the Gryffindor table. There were still people coming from the train, so they sat and waited for Professor McGonagal to show up with the first years. Harry saw Malfoy give him a big sneer, and he mocked Harry's scene in the train car. The entire Slytherin table laughed with him. Harry ignored this, for he was too tired to care.

As the first years filed in from the entrance of the Great Hall, Professor McGonagal greeted everyone.

"Was everyone's holiday as enjoyable as mine? Good." As she said this, she carried out the Sorting Hat on a stool. This stool was used for the Sorting Hat since it was created, and this time, it spoke a very important message.

"I hope that you are all ready for another productive year at Hogwarts, and the Sorting Hat will now speak its message." McGonagal said, with bright eyes. She knew that it would be important this year, and listened with open ears.

Today we are reunited, together we shall stand, And if these immortal bonds shall break, disaster will be at hand No longer shall we disagree, no longer shall we quarrel, For together we will stand as one in unison and chortle

It is a dangerous time, and it is no time for crime.

The message that the sorting hat spoke seemed a little shorter than usual, and it was a strange message, it was very general.

Nevertheless, Harry was too exhausted to care at this point, and he groaned and longed for sleep.

He was slipping, falling, spinning into a black abyss. Harry had no sense of where he was, and he was falling. . .dying. . .*klunk*

Harry awoke to find himself in front of his bed on the floor.

"What am I doing here, I thought that I was at the feast" Harry said, very confused. His scar was pounding and he had a bruise on his elbow. He soon realized that Ron was next to him, and he looked very worried.

"Harry, you scared the heck out of me! You alright then, mate? You took a nasty fall there. You were yelling again for Sirus. I guess it's hard to let go of it, your only close relative, kil-. . .gone j-just like that." Ron seemed very nervous when he said this, expecting Harry to explode with rage about Sirus.

"I just need sleep, badly. See you tomorrow. . .then." Harry said barely finishing his sentence before collapsing onto his bed into a deep sleep.

*----*

This was the first year in history of Hogwarts that the first day of classes were on Monday. The students had arrived on Friday and were now waking up to a beautiful Saturday morning.

Harry was still shaken up from his dream a little, but he got out of bed and went to sit in the Common Room. There was no one there, it was still dark outside.

As Harry sat and waited for the sun to rise, he began to think about his dreams from the past few days. Why did Sirus want to contact Harry? Or was Harry hallucinating and Sirus really wasn't talking to him? Harry felt very concerned for himself, he felt stranger, even more so than when he dreamt about the Department of Mysteries last year. He decided that he should talk to Dumbledore before he thought of anything else.

As the sun arose and glinted through the window into Harry's eyes, Ron came down the stairs into the common room. "You feeling a little better this morning Harry?" he asked while he yawned. "Yes. I had a deep sleep last night and it really rested me up, I needed it."

"Hey Harry, umm. . .I wanted to apologize for the way that I acted on the train yesterday, I didn't know that you. . .sorta liked Hermione. I was a little jealous, you could say."

Harry didn't expect this type of apology from Ron, and didn't know what to say to him. "Erm. . .ya, that's ok Ron. But I'm not exactly sure if I like her that much as a girlfriend. I don't have much confidence to say that, much less think it. I have to figure it out."

"Well, I hope that I can get a decent girl this year, I don't want to be left in the dust when I get out of school!" Ron said worriedly.

Ron finished his sentence in the nick of time, just as Hermione was closing the door to the girl's bedroom, and beginning her decent down the stairs.

"Amazing morning, huh guys? Good morning Harry!" She said brightly. "Morning Hermione" Harry said, with wavering confidence.

"We have class schedule handouts this morning, I've got to figure out all of my classes!" Hermione said excitedly.

They headed off to a glittering Great Hall, and were ready for their class schedules.
