demi: Sorry for late update, but I had writer's block for awhile, so yeah...

Chapter 2:

Harry sat, unsure of what his emotions were. In one way, he was happy now that some of the attention was lifted off his shoulders now because of a new Harry Potter.

In another way, he was kind of....angry. He was special because of his resistance to Voldemort, and now that another kid had done it too, he felt like a...normal kid.

Harry flopped down on his bed, as he drifted off to sleep.


The next day, Harry came up with a decision. He was going to live with Lupin in Grimmauld place. He sent Hedwig carryign a letter saying that he accepted.

Then he started practicing some spells he had learnt from his books. In the middle of it, suddenly, a clean and nice looking owl came through the open window.

His eyes widened as he realized it was his OWL results. He immediately opened the letter, and his eyes scanned it eagerly:

Dear Mr. Harry James Potter,

We are pleased to inform you that you have done exceptionally well on your OWL's, and we hope you will continue this good work in your sixth year. Enclosed are your results. Please send back an owl on what NEWT subjects you would like to take.

M. Mcgonagall

Astronomy: E

Care of Magical Creatures: O

Charms: O

Defense Against Dark Arts: O

Divination: A

Herbology: E

History of Magic: E

Potions: O

Tranfiguration: E

Harry gaped at his marks. He still couldn't believe that Snape had given him an "O". He was also proud of his Astronomy mark, considering he messed up during the exam.

He whooped, as he realized he could actually take his step into becoming an official auror.

He quickly wrote down what subjects he would take in NEWTS level. Charms, Defense Against Dark Arts, Herbology, Potions, Transfiguration, and History of Magic.

He waited until Hedwig got back, a huge smile on his face. When she did come back, though, there was a letter in her talons.

Harry took it out, and read it:

Hey Harry, I've recieved your letter,and I plan on picking you up tomorrow at 10:00 am at the front door, so pack and get ready. Note that the Weasley's will be there too.

Remus Lupin

This news made Harry happier, as he immediately started packing up his broomstick, his wand, and books and stuff in his suitcase.


Harry sat nervously on the couch, waiting for Lupin to ring the doorbell. When finally the ring came, he sprang up, delighted, and opened the door.

"Hey Harry, how you doing?" Lupin grinned. Uncle Vernon glanced up at Lupin, and started shouting, "YOU DAMN THINGY THINGIES! GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE!!"

"Wait a second." Harry said as he took out his wand. He cast a tickling charm on Vernon, and calmy walked out with Lupin.

"Rather impatient today, are we?" Lupin asked, eyes twinkling in amusement. "Oh whatever, it'll wear off after an hour or two."

They smiled as they walked to the car parked outside the hosue.
