Chapter 2

Disclaimer: This ain't my characters etc...

Harry sat on his bed deciding which letter/card to open first he decided to open Hermione's first.

It read

Dear Harry.

How is your summer with those awful muggles going? Ron and I won't be able to send you letters or receive letters from you after today. I can't say why in case this card is intercepted or where we'll be, but just do you know it won't be in headquarters. I'm really sorry Harry. Happy Birthday and enjoy your book and planner

Love Hermione.

Harry felt his blood begin to boil. Some friend Ron and Hermione were. They did this last year too. He decided to read the other letters first before he really lost it. He opened Ron's.

Hi mate.

How you going. Hope those bloody muggles are treating you right. I'm really sorry mate that me and 'mione have to be so secretive, but it will all work out in the end. I'll see you at school hopefully. Enjoy the poster. I can't tell you about the book just to read it 'cover to cover'.

Ron

Great thought Harry. Now Ron was being secretive and cryptic. Ron was never like this. What did he mean by saying that he might see me at school? Harry's blood was starting to do more than boil. I can't believe it! They're probably having fun and drinking butter beers while I'm stuck in this hole. Well only a few more letters. He opened Mrs Weasley's letter.

Harry, Dear.

Don't do something irrational, we might all regret okay? You just sit tight till school starts. Everything will be sorted by the time school start. I'm terribly sorry you can't stay with us to get your school supplies but everything is pretty hectic. Hope you enjoy the cake and fudge. I can't tell you about your watch. But pretty soon all will become cleat just make sure you have the watch with you at all times but don't advertise that you have it. No-one really should still have these they're really illegal, Arthur got it at the ministry for you. I think Remus will come two days before school starts to take you shopping for supplies and you'll stay at the Leaky Cauldron till school starts. Just remember Harry dear don't do something to get you in trouble. The wizarding world is breaking. I advise that you take up a subscription to the Quibbler; it will tell you all I don't have time to tell you. Hopefully you'll see Hermione and Ron at the start of school

Love Molly Weasley.

Great, just great! Fumed Harry even Mrs Weasley was being secretive. Even so she had gotten him curious when she said the wizarding world was breaking. He would definitely get a subscription to the Quibbler. He might as well because Professor Lupin wouldn't be here for three more weeks. Next he opened his school letter firstly the OWL results he'd look at Dumbledore's last.

Comments from the examiners and/or teachers.

Mr Potter achieved extra points in performing an excellent fully formed patronus spell. Mr Potter as you can see there are some after some of your marks this means you got the highest mark in your fifth year. Making you smartest boy in your year, alongside Hermione Granger as smartest girl in your year.

Congratulations Professor Tofty.

Mr Potter you have acquired the sufficient grades to take the right NEWT courses to become an auror. I will repeat what I said to you at your careers advice, I will personally make sure you become and auror with the right grade. Congratulations on becoming smartest boy of your year, I have to admit I wasn't expecting it but I am at least glad it was you and not Mr Malfoy, or Professor Snape would have something to brag about all year. You have given me the greatest pleasure in reversing this. Also Mr Potter you have become Quidditch Captain, you will have to hold trials to replace Mr Fred and George Weasley, Alicia Spinnet, Angelina Johnson and Katie Bell. There is a letter that came with your OWLS it tells you about the ceremony to celebrate you and Hermione.

Sincerely Professor Minerva McGonagall.

With that he smiled, at least his OWLS and the professors weren't being cryptic or secretive. He calmed a little, he thought he should be at least a bit calm to read Dumbledore's letter. Harry was still furious with Dumbledore. If he had told him about the prophecy then Sirius would still be alive and he could be at Grimmauld Place. He sighed and opened the letter.

Dear Harry,

How are you? I am again truly sorry for your loss, but when you think about it, a loss really isn't a loss until you find what your loss really is, what if your loss really wasn't a loss just something.....misplaced. Very sorry about the secrecy surrounding the Weasley's and Hermione, but you will be informed about these things when Remus comes for you. Harry, as you probably know Remus comes for you two days before school starts to get your supplies, now on the second day you will go with Remus to the Weasley twins shop for the ceremony, it will not be huge, just a small party to present your award and a picture for the Quibbler. Harry, do not be mad at an old man's mistake. I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me. If you do not it is alright, I do understand. Now. About your box. I can't tell you much in case my letter is intercepted but I believe Mr Weasley sent you a book, to open your box read the book 'cover to cover' and remember you are a descendent.

Yours Truly Professor Dumbledore.

Harry was truly seething now. How dare he call Sirius' death an 'old man's mistake' and again with the secrecy and Ron's stupid book. What the hell was with everyone saying read the book 'cover to cover'. It was stupid. Now he opened the last letter, from the unknown owl. Harry was curious as to what it was.

To: Mr Harry.J.Potter,

This is Mr Sirius Black's will. Although it will be formerly read out at a hearing two days after your school resumes. (You have permission from Professor Albus Dumbledore to go, it will be at the ministry, Mr Remus Lupin will take you.) I have decided to list what is left to everyone so you personally can go through it.

Sincerely Mr Dedalus Diggle.

Harry tried not to let tears come. Now it was official, Sirius was dead, Harry had lost everyone. He opened the letter.

I Sirius Black am now probably dead since you're reading my will. I hope I died in a battle protecting someone and not by being murdered. I don't want anyone to grieve for me because just remember that just coz Padfoot the lovable has gone doesn't mean you all have to stop living. Anyway onto the will

To Harry Potter my beloved godchild I leave all but 20% of my gold. I leave you Grimmauld Place and if the darn thing isn't dead yet then Kreacher too. Don't free him Harry he knows too much. When I say I leave you the house that means my library, possessions, kitchen etc...

To the Weasley's I leave the remaining 20% of my gold to divide between yourselves.

To Snivillus, this isn't a joke I leave you my nasty Dark Arts potions.

To Hermione I leave you my big book on House Elves.

To Hagrid I leave my animal toys that belonged to my mother, she had an unhealthy obsession with horrible cats which I why I became I dog I think.

To the Hogwarts Professors I leave my school journals, it includes entries from James, Remus, Peter, the traitor (I hope he's dead!!) and myself. It has records on our detentions, how long it took to become animagus' and just what we thought of everyone, it includes some interesting secrets and rumours, do beware Minerva!!

To Remus the last of the Marauders I leave our prank books, journals, sets and supplies. You know where they are !!!.

Adieu all Sirius.

He sighed what would he do with headquarters. Harry sat on his bed for what seemed like hours. Then he decided he would tell Dumbledore to let himself, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville and Luna in the Order or they would have to find new headquarters, he also decided to renew the fidelius charm and make himself the secret keeper, then he would decide who could come to Grimmauld Place. He also decided that he wouldn't just sit in this dump, tomorrow he would take a bus to Grimmauld Place, and he didn't care about the protection anymore. Harry got up and packed his trunk. He'd catch the sunrise bus before the Dursley's knew he was gone. With that decided he went back to the kitchen and made dinner. He came back upstairs and had Mrs Weasley's fudge for dinner. Just before he went to sleep, he shut his window so Hedwig couldn't leave.
