Chapter One- Summer

At the end of school last year, you couldn't look at me with out finding a tear in my eye. The loss of the only father figure I had devastated me. A wrong glance would send me into a screaming match. I hated my life, I wished it would end. It had been my fault of course that Sirius had been killed. My stupidity and gullibility had caused it all. Why hadn't I just taken my Occulemency lessons seriously? Why had I let myself fail? I now have taken them, Again, and I can block my mind. I won't be the cause of any more deaths.

Now it has all changed. I was sent back to the Dursley's and had been hiding. The Second War was to come and I was scared. Me, Harry Potter, scared. But can you blame me? I didn't have to spend the better part of the summer without information again. I got daily owls from Remus, Dumbledore and my friends. No one was going to keep anything from me after what I had been put through. Of course I had the Advance Guard with me at all times. Mr. Weasley visited me often. And the Dursley's...Well lets just say they won't be bothering me again. Hagrid, so kindly made sure of it, through a bit of persuasion if you will.

After a few weeks I was able to fly to Grimmauld Place. I hid in my room for a few hours crying. I hated that I had to be in his house. As soon as I saw Kreatcher I grabbed him and choked him until he fainted. I hate him, it's more his fault then mine Sirius died. If he hadn't lied to me...Sirius would be alive still.

But my sulking didn't last long. Because shortly after my arrival my two best friends Ron and Hermione showed up. And they were great at cheering me up. Hermione more so then Ron... She took the chance while Ron was helping Ginny to pull me aside.

"Harry, I...I've been thinking a lot about y...you this summer." She had seemed so nervous. I was fascinated.

"About me?" I asked with a smile on my face. "And why would you be doing that?"

Her cheeks had flushed crimson and she had started playing with her hair. "I...I want to be more then friends." And after that she had kissed me. Hermione had kissed me. Let's just say I was surprised.

I told her I didn't want to ruin our friendship and she had assured me we wouldn't so from that moment on I was officially paired romantically with my girl best friend. Crazy how these things tend to happen. But after that we had spent time sitting in on Order Meetings and finding out about Voldemort's plans. It was fun, and unnerving at the same time.

Finally the summer was drawing to a close and Mrs. Weasley had picked up our school supplies. September First was the next day and we were all excited to go back to school. It was going to be weird this year. But it would be an adventure.
