Sixth Year of Hogwarts

Harry sat back in his seat grateful for the silence of the empty compartment. Summer with the Dursley's had been insanely boring. Vernon and Petunia were still afraid of Harry's abnormality and made him do an extensive amount of housework but with the threat of Harry's godfather still hanging over them it wasn't as bad as before. The housework itself kept Harry strong and well toned, he was that worried about Quidditch. He had grown over the summer and now stood and a tall five foot ten inches. Dudley's cloths didn't hang on him as much anymore but they were still too large. Harry yawned and let his eyes drift close. He didn't get much sleep at night anymore. Voldemort's anger seemed to be fused easily. Most of his raids have been stopped by an unknown cause and with the Ministry recognizing his rise he had to be extra careful. He didn't seem to know that Harry knew what he planned in advance and had close contact with Dumbeldore.

Harry was abruptly awaken by the excited shouts of his best friend Ron Weasly.

Ron had grown as well over the summer. He still stood taller then Harry and six-foot even. He was still lanky but was beginning to fill out.

"Harry, Harry, you wont believe this!" he cried holding closing the compartment door.

Harry fixed his glasses that had fallen down the bridge of his nose while he dosed. Ron held out a paper Harry immediately recognized as the Daily Prophet. Harry took the paper and read the front page article.

Convicted Criminal's Innocence Proven!

Sirius Black, former prisoner of Azkeban charged with the murder of thirteen people and the death of Lily and James Potter, was pardoned and given full apology from the Ministry when an anonymous person gave the where about of one Peter Pettigrew. Thought Dead for the past fifteen years Peter was caught by ministry officials and questioned. Pettigrew told of the plot against the Potters and what really happened with the mass murder.

Blacks wereabouts are unknown to this reporter. The only thing the people need to worry about is the riseing of the Dark Lord for one mystery has been put to rest.

-John Doe

Harry laughed, "Finally. I wish I could know who gave the information."

Ron sat down, "yeah, where do you think Sirius is?"

Harry shrugged, " I don't know, but I'm going to wow him when we get to Hogwarts."
