Harry awoke the next morning with a jolt of excitement. He was going back to Hogwarts tomorrow. Hogwarts was where he belonged. Although he didn't have such a strong feeling as before about this, ever since he had been staying at Grimmauld Place he felt as though he had made a second home. He had helped to transform it from an unwelcoming drab house, to a home, and he felt as though a piece of him belonged here.

He dressed and went downstairs to the kitchen to find Remus sitting at the table.

"Morning Harry."

"Morning."

"Looking forward to going back to school tomorrow?"

"Yes…well…sort of. I think I'm going to miss it here you know." Harry admitted.

"Really?" Remus sounded slightly shocked "I suppose it does grow on you in time."

"I never thought I'd miss this place, it's weird." Harry sighed and sat down t the table.

"You know that you are always welcome here Harry, well at least I think you are anyway. It's not exactly my house." Said Remus smiling "Sirius loved it when you were all here, so I'm sure you are always welcome."

"Yeah…" Mused Harry "Hey, do you think it would be ok if I came back at Christmas?" he asked.

"Of course! We might be able to get all the Weasleys round again, you never know." Said Remus, who sounded very pleased at the thought of having someone to celebrate Christmas with.

"Great." Said Harry happily.

Harry had a quick breakfast and went upstairs to pack his school things in his trunk, not feeling quite as happy as he normally would have. He and Remus had connected quite a bit over the past week. They each knew how the other felt about Sirius and his death, and as Harry thought about it, they were both quite similar. Both had lost most of the important people in their lives, both were different from everyone else and they even both had enemies. Harry had Voldemort and Remus had just about everyone else, judging him because of the werewolf. Harry had the feeling that he could talk to Remus about pretty much anything, he trusted him deeply.

The next day Harry was woken by Remus prodding him, telling him that he had to leave for school soon.

They caught the Knight Bus to King's Cross Station and arrived with twenty minutes to spare. They got through to platform nine and three quarters with ease and as soon as they appeared through the barrier, Harry heard someone yelling his name.

"Harry!"

"Mrs Weas-" Harry was suddenly winded when Mrs Weasley came forward and gave him a very tight hug. Ron and Hermione were standing behind her, looking rather amused.

"Oh Harry how are you dear? How are you coping?" Mrs Weasley asked, a concerned look on her face.

"I'm fine Mrs Weasley, thanks." Said Harry after catching his breath.

"Oh are you sure dear? Is he really ok Remus?" Mrs Weasley asked, turning to Remus and hugging him too.

"Well he says he's ok Molly, so I'm taking his word for it." He answered, smiling at Harry.

"I hope you are telling the truth Harry." Said Mrs Weasley, turning to Harry again "You don't want to bottle thing-"

"Mum! Leave Harry alone!" Ron told his mother, then he turned to his best friend, smiling "Sorry about her, she's been worrying about you, as you can tell."

Hermione laughed as Harry smiled "It's ok." He said, "I appreciate that you are worried about me Mrs Weasley, but I really am fine." He told Mrs Weasley, turning to her. She seemed satisfied.

"Are you getting on the train Harry?" Hermione asked him "All the others are already aboard."

"I'll be on in a minute, I'm just going to say goodbye to Remus." Harry told them. Ron and Hermione turned and walked towards the train.

"Well Harry, have a good year." Said Remus.

"I will. Thanks for having me Remus." Harry told him.

"No problem, it was nice having you."

"You've helped me a lot this past week." Harry admitted "I'm sort of dealing with Sirius's death better now."

"It's felt the same for me." Said Remus gratefully. The train horn sounded. "You'd better hurry Harry, it'll go without you!"

"Yeah I guess. Thanks again. See you at Christmas?" Harry asked.

"Definitely." Said Remus, as they hugged swiftly and Harry ran for the train door, jumped in, closed the door, and hung his head out.

"Bye!" yelled Harry as the train stared to move.

Remus waved. He saw the train leave the station and apparated as a new and powerful friendship began.

And that was the last chapter. I hope you liked my story. I'm afraid it isn't going to be a story that goes all the way through Harry's 6th year because I don't think I'm a good enough writer or have enough patience for it! So anyway, thanks for all your reviews and nice comments! Do me a favour will ya? Review me one last time?
