~Back to England and Hogwarts~

Harry was in a very dark room, he was wondering where he was and how he was going to get out of the place when suddenly a light appeared in front of him, he looked closer and he could see two people underneath the light, he wondered who it could be when one of them spoke, 'Harry, its us Sirius and your dad,' Harry thought that this was a joke, but then he thought, no one could ever re make the voice of his god-father it was too unique. Harry feeling excited ran over to the duo under the light and saw Sirius, he gave him a big hug and then he looked at the other, it was his father! It was the father that died defending Harry and his mother against Voldemort, Harry looked as though he was about to cry, but the training from becoming a member for the Brotherhood taught him how to hold in those salty water drops, Harry just plowed into him and gave him a bear hug. 'H-H-Harry, you're crushing me' James said in an exasperated tone, Harry saw how hard he was hugging him and he stopped. 'Okay Harry we don't have much time but we have to tell you something, we are all proud of you, me, your mom, and Sirius, but we also have to tell you that the fight you'll have to go through is going to be harder then you think,' Sirius continued, 'when you get back to Hogwarts, get the marauders map, and you can write to talk to our essences, they may be annoying because we're still kids but they'll help you out, they'll bring you to a room which we created, you'll know what to do when your there,' James finished off for Sirius, 'your mother wishes she could be here but she had some business, we all love you and are always watching you, 'James said 'well not always,' Sirius said with a wink, and with that every thing started dissolving.

Harry shot up in the bed he was in and he looked around, by the look of the light coming in through the window it was just after daybreak and the others were lying in bed asleep. 'Ah I see our village savior is awake,' said a voice that Harry vaguely recognized. He looked and saw that the mayor of the village just walked in with Remus and 'Professor Dumbledore!' Harry said looking surprised 'Yes Mr. Sevenstar, Dumbledore said with a wink. Harry knew he was calling him that to keep his identity a secret and then quickly looked down and he could see that he had changed into the person he looked like when he first met the mayor. At that moment the others started stirring and they sat up in bed, they looked around and saw Dumbledore standing there and knew Remus must have notified him that the battle was over and that they won. 'Well we must be going,' Dumbledore started saying, he then picked up a cup and tapped his wand to it saying "Portus" 'Okay boys all your things are here so just touch your belongings with a finger and the cup with another we will be off. Everyone did so and then Harry felt the familiar pull behind his navel and with a whirl of color they were gone, a moment later they all landed in living room of The Burrow. They all stood up and looked at each other, and they all grinned, they were back home, finally, after what seemed like months but were only days, they were home. They got up and walked into the kitchen and when they walked in Mrs. Weasley jumped up from the kitchen table and ran to the boys, 'oh your all home your home!' 'Thank goodness your all right,' Mrs. Weasley said while giving the boys hugs. 'Now go and change we are going to diagon alley to get you all some new dress robes.' They boys looked at each other puzzled and they turned to Dumbledore who answered their unasked question, 'Well since they attacks on the numerous families just before the holidays almost everyone wanted to go and see their families so we decided to postpone the Christmas ball, its going to be held a week after term starts.' The boys looked happy at this, ever since they became best friends, the dances seemed more fun to go to. They all ran up to their rooms, Seamus and Neville was sharing Ron's room with him and Dean was sharing Harry's room with him. They changed and Harry asked 'So dean got anyone in mind to ask to the ball for when we get back?' 'Umm I don't know I think I'll ask a gryffindor girl to this one, do you?' 'Yeah I think so, I think I'm going to ask that Serena girl from seventh year n gryffindor.' 'Oh really, that's cool she pretty good looking and I heard she likes you,' 'that's cool, but we better get downstairs so we can get to diagon alley.' So with that they walked downstairs and met up with everyone in the kitchen, 'Well lets all get going,' Mr. Weasley said, 'we'll all apperate into the leaky cauldron' Mrs. Weasley said to everyone, and with that, they were all gone in a series of pops. Harry appeared in the leaky cauldron with the others and then they all walked out to the gateway into the alley. Mr. Weasley tapped the right bricks on the wall and the gateway opened up to let them all in. 'Okay boys, we'll let you go off by yourselves,' Mrs. Weasley told them and the boys ran off to the direction of the robe shop first to get it out of the way. They walked in and started looking at the men's dress robe section, Harry found a robe that was red with gold trim, he also found a mid-night blue rode that when the lights were off it illuminated slightly, he brought them both to madam malkin and she fitted him to the robes, he thought the second one would e good for the end of year ball. Ron bought one navy blue dress robe for the Christmas dance and a black one with white trim for the end of year ball, Dean bought a forest green robe for the Christmas ball and a red and gold one kind of like Harry's for the end of year ball, Neville got black with gold trim for the Christmas ball and gold with silver trim for the end of year ball, and Seamus bought a blue one for the Christmas ball and green one for the end of year ball, with their robe shopping done, they walked out and were looking around the stores and they came upon their favorite store, Quality Quidditch Supplies, they walked I and looked around, there were a new kind of quidditch glove made out of dragon scales, Harry tried them on and they fit better then his own gloves fit, he bought them and looked around at the brooms, he found he others marveling over a nimbus two thousand and five, the second best broom in the world, bested only by the firebolt. Harry had to admit it was a good broom and could see why the others were fawning over it, but it was way out of all of their price ranges, they all left and were looking around at the shops some more when they came upon a store with a big sign saying Weasley Wizarding Wheezes, Harry having not visited the store yet walked inside and couldn't believe how big it was, 'Well at least the twins are making god money' after he said this Fred and George walked in form the back room and said 'Somebody call us?' 'No, no one called you, but its good to see that your making a good living' Harry told the duo while glancing at his watch, it read twelve forty, he quickly turned around 'Boys we got to get to the leaky cauldron, Mrs. Weasley will be wondering where we are' and with that they all left.

The walked into the leaky cauldron and saw Mr. And Mrs. Weasley waiting for them, 'Well they said, 'Time to go, Professor Dumbledore said he wanted you five back to Hogwarts after you finished shopping. So they all apperated back to The Burrow and packed all their things, Mrs. Weasley gave them all bear hugs Mr. Weasley wished them all a good term and they all walked outside, Mr. Weasley stuck out his wand arm and there was a big bang, the Knight bus arrived and the door opened, 'Welcome to the knight bus, please come on board' Stan shunpike said as he opened the doors, the boys said their last farewells and the climbed aboard carrying their things and the doors closed and with another bang they were off.

Stan looked at the boys and he dropped his professional manor and started saying 'Eh earn, lookit who we're drivin' again, its Arry Potter, ow yeah doin Arry?' 'Oh, I'm good, we need to be brought to Hogwarts by the way.' 'Righto, off to Ogwarts,' and with that said they were driving for a few minuets and then they stopped in front of Hogwarts, 'thanks Stan, bye' 'Bye Arry' Stan said and then the Knight bus was gone.

They all levitated their trunks inside and then a thought occurred to Harry, 'what about Bolt, Jake, Jack, Max, and Merlin?' Harry asked the others, but the moment the names were out of his mouth, there was a pop, and a tinny barking met his ears, he turned and saw that all of their Snarks where running to them, Harry was happy to see bolt and could see that he had grown a bit, when bolt reached Harry he gave Bolt a pat on the head and they all walked into Hogwarts, they put their things down by the great hall, and started walking to Dumbledore's office, they reached the stone gargoyle guard and there was a note attached to it,

Harry, the password is cockroach cluster

Dumbledore

Harry said cockroach cluster and the gargoyle sprang to life and walked out of the way, the boys walked up to the door and knocked, 'Come in' they heard Dumbledore say from inside, they opened the door and walked inside, 'Hello boys, Dumbledore started I'm glad you are all here, I just wanted to tell you that if you didn't transfer some of your magical energy into Remus he would have died, I wanted to thank you for your quick thinking, I would also like to thank you for defending that village from the deatheater attack and winning, if you hadn't then we would have lost one of the biggest magical villages in the world.' 'Now on a lighter note I was contacted by the E.N.Q.L, they told me that during the summer they would like you to be part of the team, as they were in the stands during you past two quidditch matches and saw how you all work together, and thought that you four, he said while pointing to Harry, Ron, Seamus, and Dean 'are up to national standard. Harry, Ron, Seamus, and Dean looked at each other, and thought,, the English national team wants us with them! It was awesome! But then they looked over at Neville, he wouldn't be able to go with them as he wasn't part of the team, Neville looked a little put out as he was the only one not able to go play quidditch during the summer, but then Dumbledore began to speak again, 'don't worry Mr. Longbottom, I have something you'll need to do over the summer, a special solo mission.' Neville looked pleased with this and told the others it was all right that he wasn't going to play quidditch with them during the summer. 'Well boys, that's all I had to say, have a good day and have a good rest of term, and with that the boys left Dumbledores office, Snarks in tow.
