Disclaimer- J.K Rowling is the smartest woman alive. She would probably be appalled if she read this melodramatic crap. I hope that this doesn't put ideas in any of your heads about what might happen in future HP books because I KNOW NOTHING!!! I don't own any of the characters either... This whole thing is therapy (because I was upset over the character she killed off) I'm just posting it because people told me to…
The carpet ride was actually a very nice experience. It was very peaceful. They soared through the clouds and a very nice relaxing pace. Fred and George also made it invisible so it gave the illusion that they were flying all by themselves. Harry enjoyed that. Fred and George told them that they picked Hermione up the same way and she didn't like it that much.
The three of them reached Grimmauld place. "Now Harry," Fred said in a concerned voice, "You are to tell mum that we came by the Knight Bus ok. We would have come that way, but this is so much more fun"
"No problem" he told the twins. They stood up off the carpet. Fred packed it away and the three of them took out their brooms.
Twelve Grimmauld place came into view only it didn't look like it did last year. Instead of the ancient black mansion that stood forward in front of him last year, it was red and gold. Harry was quite confused at this indeed. He then saw Remus Lupin at the doorway and smiled.
"Great to see you Harry!" Lupin said shaking his hand and clapping him on the shoulder. He smiled back at Lupin. He was the very last, trustable friend that could tell him stories of James and Sirius. "How have you been" Lupin asked Harry sighed. "Pretty good, I guess" he said lying Lupin had a look that showed that he didn't believe him, but he didn't say anything. "Well, I have something really important to show you, we've been working on it all summer for you. It killed that god forsaken house elf, I guess he died out of shock, but I don't think you care much about him. "
Harry stepped foot into the drawing room. He gasped as soon as he saw it. "Surprise!" everyone said enthusiastically. Everyone in the Order, (except Snape, including Dumbledore), Ron and family (except Percy), Hermione Granger and a girl that Harry recognized to be one of Ginny's friends. They all beamed at him. He looked all around the room. There huge tapestry of Sirius's mother was burned and covered with a huge blown up picture of James, Lily and Sirius at James and Lily's wedding. It looked way more up-beat and cheerful than it had last summer. There were pictures of the order, Harry and his friends, Hogwarts, Quiddich posters and life-size portrait of Sirius which was currently transforming into a dog, then a minute latertransforming back beaming lovingly at Harry. He looked down at his feet after looking at this picture trying his best not to cry in front of everyone. Mrs. Weasley was the first one to walk over to him. She pulled him into a hug. "How are you darling" she asked enthusiastically. "Dumbledore has something really important to tell you."
Dumbledore came forth, put his hand on his right shoulder. He looked at Harry through his half moon glasses "Harry, your godfather and I talked it over last summer. He was so excited about it that he left this package and letter under his pillow. He told me where it is. Now, I'm sure he would have liked to give it to you and I daresay, I think you want to read it on your own.
Harry nodded as Dumbledore continued. "Harry, Sirius requested that you, as a man who is reaching his coming of age, that you, if you choose to, are allowed to remain here instead of going back to the Dursleys."
Harry's jaw began to drop. His heart felt like it leapt 12 feet off the ground. "That is the best thing that EVER happened to me professor!" Harry said truthfully. The first true smile spread across his face since a very long time ago.
When he reached Hermione and Ron, they broke into a great, lengthy group hug. Harry sat down at the table between the two of them. The dinner was excellent, but Harry only had one serving. He wanted to read Sirius's letter. Ron didn't seem to be eating much either which was quite unusual because usually he can eat quite a lot. He was busy staring at the girl next to Ginny. She had long, light brown hair. She had light blue and yellow steaks in her hair that illuminated it and made her quite lovely. Her eyes were big and deep purple which seemed to sparkle at everyone she looked at. Harry had never seen Ron this way. Usually, he stared at Hermione in that way but Harry never saw Ron look at Hermione with this much intensity. The girl never seemed to mind though. In fact, she looked like she quite enjoyed it. Ginny got Harry's attention "So, have you met my friend Cara Fair, Harry?"
"Hello" said Harry "Hey Harry" she said reaching out her hand which he shook. "Cara is in my year", said Ginny. "We're trying out for the Quiddich team as chasers next year"
"I've been waiting for the other two chasers to graduate" Cara told them, "My dad taught me how to fly. Now that he died, I want to be able to do something to make him proud"
Harry was bewildered at her openness "Your dad died, I'm sorry" Cara smiled back at him "It's ok, he died being brave and fighting Voldemort"
Ron flinched at the name but gave her a look of deep admiration. "Wait, you father fought Voldemort, when did this happen?" Harry asked. "Voldemort found out that he was secretly working with Dumbledore with the Order" she told Harry "Wait, I never saw him before, what did he do?" Harry asked "Well," Cara said, "He's an unregistered animagus. He can turn into a chameleon. He was able to spy on Voldemort. He worked very closely with Proffessor Snape. Unfortunately, Nagini, Voldemort's snake discovered him near a tree. Voldemort forced him to show himself, tortured him and.......and killed him."
She quickly changed the subject. It looked like she was very uncomfortable with talking about it.
"So... Ginny, after dinner, do you want to practice Quiddich with me?" Cara asked "Sure" Ginny replied. "I don't think we're allowed to go outside though"
"It's ok," said Fred "We turned the basement into a Quiddich court. It's just like the real thing. Just don't fly higher than the airplanes. That marks where the ceiling is supposed to be"
"If it's ok with Harry, It's his house now" Cara asked "Sure, have fun girls" Harry told them. "I'm Keeper!" Ron said after not speaking at all during dinner "I'll erm... keep for you girls" he said. "Ok cool" Ginny replied "Harry do you want to play seeker?"
Harry thought about it. With most of his friends downstairs playing Quiddich, he could read the note that Sirius left him.
"erm... maybe later" he told them.
So after dinner, Ron, Ginny and Cara went to the basement. Hermione went in a spare room to get started on her transfiguration homework, more because she knew that Harry needed to be alone. Harry went up to the room that he, Ron and Hermione were to be sharing (Hermione was sleeping with them because Cara was over and their constant talk of Quiddich and Dean Thomas annoyed her beyond reason)
Harry lay flat on his bed. His fingers trembled as he opened the letter from Sirius.
