( nothing of Harry Potter is mine so don't sew me thanx)

THE BEGINNING OF SOMETHING MAGIC


As Harry left behind his friends at King's Cross Station to rejoin the muggle world, he couldn't help but feel a little cheerful at the thought of his aunt, uncle, and cousin living in fear that his "freak friends" could come bustling in at any moment to give them what they deserved for their less the humane treatment.

It had been a little more then a week since Harry's departure from the Hogwarts castle, and with nothing to keep his mind off resent events he found himself constantly dwelling on one subject. Sirius.

He needed someone to talk with about what he had found out about his destiny that day in Dumbledore's office. Someone to confide in, who knew what he was going through, which he even doubted that Sirius knew, but still Sirius has always knew what to say to him before with the threat of Voldemort's return in his fourth year, his visions, and his fears. Now he had nobody to tell not his friends, most defiantly not,they already looked at him with worried looks and spoke with cautioned words.

As Harry sat there wrapped up in his own thoughts that mid-afternoon, he heard a twitter and fast bat of wings. He turned to see none other then Ron's owl Pig. However when ever Harry reached up to retrieve the letter the creature flew up just above Harry's reach.

"Would you just give me that already," Harry shouted getting irritated at the bird.

Then with a great jump he reached up and snatched the owl between his fingers.

He tore the letter free and let Pig continue to fly around his room as he read in Ron's usual messy writing, which appalled Hermione,

Harry,

Dumbledore gave the O.K.

We "kids" as mom puts it, aren't allowed to leave

headquarters now cause you-know-who is now out and

open for business. Someone from the order will be by to

get you soon. Just thought I'd give ya a heads up.

See ya a.s.a.p.

Ron

If this wasn't something to distract him, Harry didn't know what was. His stay at Privet Drive couldn't have been shorter. He wrote a quick reply to Ron saying that he would hopefully see him soon, and sent that along with Pig.

Harry then got to thinking which member of the order would be coming and when they would arrive. Not that it mattered, he was just happy to be leaving.

To his delight his answer came shortly after dinner, when all of the Dursley's were assembled in front of the television and Harry was up in his room cleaning Hedwig's cage.

Harry heard the muffled yell of his uncle downstairs, "Boy get down here."

Harry however took his time finishing up, and then slowly moved downstairs not eager to hear what it was that his uncle wanted. As he turned into the living room, Harry heard a familiar growling voice addressing his uncle on the treatment of Harry.

Harry's heart gave a great leap, "Hello professor!" Harry said with delight when he had entered the room.

"Potter," he nodded to Harry.

"Wotcher Harry," said another familiar voice to Moody's side.

It was Tonks, he hadn't noticed her on the other side of his rather large uncle, who had been blocking her from view.

She was currently fashioning black hair with pink streaks and wearing a baggy sweatshirt with jeans and was once again getting one of those disapproving looks his aunt usually wore.

"Well are you ready Potter?" came Moody's growl.

"I will be in a minute," he answered glancing at Tonks.

With that he turned around and headed back up stairs with Tonks following closely behind him.

Once back downstairs, packed and all ready to go, Harry cheerfully bid his relatives good-bye receiving nothing but cold silence in return. He turned to Moody saying, "So how will we be getting there?"

"You'll see," and with that the three of them headed out the door.

Once outside Harry saw a familiar car just like the one's the ministry allowed Mr. Weasley to borrow the summer before Harry's third year.

"Wow," Harry exclaimed, "How did you manage that?"

Tonks answered him this time, "Well you see, I do work for the ministry and all, but at first Fudge was hesitant to allow me to borrow it, then all I had to do was mention your name Harry and it was that easy. Seems as though he is trying to make up for what a prat he was being.

"Shall we get going now," Moody stated rather then asked.

"Yes of course, don't want to keep them waiting," said Tonks pushing Harry towards the car and they all climbed in.
