"Sirius?" Harry wondered to himself. He could not believe his eyes. His godfather was in Hogwarts. He couldn't contain himself. It was Sirius Black his godfather! He was about to jump off his seat and run to Sirius to give him a hug, when Hermione pulled his robe.
He looked at her questioningly, and she shook her head to tell Harry that hugging Sirius now was not such a good idea. Harry understood and remained in his seat. Harry gave Sirius a smile as he walked past the Gryffindor table, towards the staff table.
"Hey, is that Sirius Black? Isn't he supposed to be in Azkaban?" "Yeah, I wonder why Dumbledore would hire a death eater. He could be dangerous." "When Dumbledore said that our new teacher was Professor Black, I didn't think it would be someone as dangerous as him." Harry heard the voices and turned around to see two girls, on the other side of the table, sitting a few seats away from him, whispering to each other. Apparently their whispers were loud.
Harry felt like punching them. He knew that Sirius wasn't a death eater, and that he could be anything but dangerous.
When Sirius reached the staff table, he took an empty seat next to James and greeted him. The whole hall kept watching Sirius and did not touch the food. Everyone watched Sirius, except for Crabbe and Goyle, who were greedily eating the food. Dumbledore stood up.
"I would like to welcome Professor Sirius Black. As you all know, he would be working with Professor James Lutter to teach you Defense Against the Dark Arts." Dumbledore said, and continued, " Now, tuck in!"
Many people hesitated before eating, Harry was one of them. He did not talk much throughout the feast, but kept glancing at Sirius. He couldn't wait to talk to Sirius after the feast. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____
Harry, Hermione, and Ron were sitting by the fireplace in the Gryffindor common room. They were the only ones awake, since many people had gotten tired after the feast. Hermione and Ron had decided to wait up with Harry, who was waiting for the right time to sneak off to visit Sirius.
"Professor James Lutter's prediction was right, Harry did get a Surprise." Ron said.
"That's already one prediction he had gotten right. Do you think he was right about the book for Pig?" Harry wondered.
"Maybe" Ron replied.
"Maybe he just got lucky." Harry said looking at the fire.
"Maybe someone told him." Harry and Ron looked at Hermione. "He is a teacher after all. I bet all the teachers knew he was going to be the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher." "Besides, Hagrid knew you were going to get a surprise too." Hermione added.
"You might be right. But what if nobody told him?" Harry argued.
"I don't know, lets just wait for tomorrow and see if he is right about Pigwidgeon." Hermione replied.
"I don't think he is right. Why would I need a book for that owl?" Ron said, looking at Hermione defiantly.
"How would I know?" Hermione said replying to Ron with her own defiance.
"You are the one who is always at the library." Ron snapped.
"So, that automatically means I would know everything about your stupid owl?" Hermione asked accusingly.
"Why wouldn't it be? You are the one who has all the answers." Ron replied.
"Are you calling me a miss-know-it-all? Hermione accused standing up.
"Maybe I am!" Ron snapped, standing up to face Hermione. Hermione turned around and stormed up the stairs.
"At least I'm not git who doesn't know the difference between an owl and a pig, and care about nothing except for himself!" Hermione shouted, as she was halfway up the stairs.
"Hey!" Ron shouted and walked to the foot of the stairs. "Pig is short-form for Pigwidgeon!" Ron shouted again, and heard the door slam shut. Ron turned around to see Harry behind him. He had forgotten about him.
"I have to go." Harry said, looking at the map. Harry was used to Ron and Hermione's little fights. He knew they would be okay in the morning. Ron nodded, obviously exhausted from shouting. Harry slipped on the invisibility cloak and went out of the common room.
____________________________________________________________________________ _
Harry walked through the Halls, following the directions Sirius had given him earlier. After the feast, Harry had sent Hedwig with a letter to Sirius, asking him if Harry could meet him tonight, and Sirius had replied with directions to his room.
Harry got to Sirius's room without any trouble. He knocked on the door and Sirius let him in. The moment he got in he went to give Sirius a hug. He couldn't believe his godfather was there.
"How was your name cleared?" Harry couldn't help asking.
"I'm not really sure myself. Albus somehow convinced the ministry that I was innocent." Sirius said.
"How? And When?" Harry asked curiously.
"I don't know, I don't really remember the date, but I remembered that it was summer, and one day, Albus came to me and brought me to the ministry. I think it was because they wanted to see me out of hiding before they could clear my name." Sirius said.
"Then, he offered me a job as a teacher, and I accepted it. Now I'm here." Sirius added before Harry could ask anything.
"Glad you're back" Harry said, and looked around.
"Nice room." Harry commented.
"Oh, the whole room is not really mine. I'm sharing it with 'Ar. I mean, what's his name? Oh, I remember, I'm sharing it with James." Sirius said. Harry looked at him questioningly, but decided to not ask anything.
"James is a lot like you." Sirius said. There was an awkward silence.
"So how was your summer?" Sirius asked, and Harry began to tell him everything that had happened so far. They talked until it was late. Harry said goodbye, put on his cloak and left. Harry walked back to the Gryffindor common room with hope that no one caught him. Harry walked cautiously and slowly through the halls. As he was about to reach the Gryffindor common room, when he accidentally stepped on his cloak, causing it to fall and reveal Harry.
Just as it fell, Harry heard Filch coming through the corridors. Harry quickly put on his invisibility cloak and started running towards the fat lady, when he realized he had left his map on the floor. Harry turned around and started running towards his map and almost collided with Filch. Harry let out a silent sigh, but his relief didn't last long as Filch had spotted the map.
Harry thought that he was going to get caught once Filch had picked up the map, but instead James came from the left corridor and picked up the map before Filch could.
"I have been looking all over for this." James told Filch still holding on to the map. Filch left muttering to himself. Harry thought he was really going to get it now.
"Harry, you forgot your map." James said without looking at the map, instead, he was looking in Harry's direction. Harry was surprised, as he never expected James to react that way. How did he know Harry was there? Harry slowly pulled the cloak off him. James smiled and handed the map to Harry.
"Be careful next time." James advised him.
"I will." Harry replied, still in shock. James turned around to walk away, and Harry went towards the fat lady again.
He was about to say the password when he heard James asked from far. "How was your meeting with Sirius?"
"Fine." was all Harry could manage. How did he know he went to meet Sirius? James just smiled and left.
Harry turned to the fat lady and said the password; "Crouching Hippogriff" and the fat lady let Harry in. ____________________________________________________________________________ _
Harry entered the Gryffindor common room and saw a red haired girl, sitting on a chair facing the fire.
"Ginny?" He called out to the girl.
Ginny got startled and turned around to see Harry standing by the entrance.
"Oh, Hi. Where did you go?" Ginny asked.
"Meet Sirius. Why aren't you asleep?" Harry asked and went to sit on another chair, facing Ginny and the fire.
"I woke up when I heard shouting and someone slamming the door. And now, I cannot go back to sleep." Ginny replied, still looking at the fire.
"Oh." Harry replied. There was silence between them. "Come on Ginny, I know you, something's wrong." Harry said.
"Its nothing." Ginny said, still staring at the fire.
"If its nothing you wouldn't be here." Harry said.
"Fine." Ginny said in defeat and looked at Harry. "I just have this feeling that something bad is going to happen, like Voldemort is going to attack or something." Ginny said.
"You are brave to say his name." Harry complemented
"Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself." Ginny said.
"Don't worry, everything will turn out fine." Harry said trying to comfort Ginny.
"Maybe, I think I'll go back to bed." Ginny said giving a small smile at Harry and stood up. Harry did the same.
"Good night." Ginny said, and gave Harry a hug.
"Good night." Harry replied and watched Ginny climb up the stairs before sitting down again. What if Ginny was right? What if Voldemort did not do anything last year because he was planning something big? What if he was planning on attacking Hogwarts?
