Great Disapointment.
"What…oh its you Harry…you scared me…what time is it?" said Ron
"Its 10:30. Come on Ron or we'll be late, we said that we would meet Hermione at Kings Cross, remember!!"
"Oh yeah, I remember…how could I forget." Ron replied moodily
Hermione had not spent the holidays at Grimauld place with everyone else. She had gone to Bulgaria for the summer to visit Viktor Krum, the international quidditch champion who played seeker for Bulgaria professionally. She was going to meet Harry, Ron and the others at the train station and get on the train with them. Something that Ron was not too happy about.
"I don't know why she decided to run off to Bulgaria for the holidays in the first place." Ron said as he too began to get changed." It sounds like a horrible place. But it's not as awful as that Krum. I don't know what she sees in him"
"Come on Ron, he's not that bad once you get to know him. What have you got against him anyway? One minute you were begging him for his autograph, and the next you thought he was scum." said Harry.
"I wasn't begging him" Ron said defensively, but his ears were starting to turn red as they always did when he was embarrassed.
"And I don't think that he's scum!! He's…he's just…" But at that moment Mrs. Wesley's voice floated up from the hall calling them to hurry up and with this Ron seized his chance to change the subject, picked up his trunk and dragged it to the door without saying another word. Harry rolled his eyes and followed Ron out of the room and down the stairs and joined Ginny, Mr and Mrs Weasley and Lupin who were ready to go.
"We're just waiting for tonks now." Mrs.Weasly explained to the others. "Where is she, we can't leave without her." Just as she had said this, tonks came through the door that led down to the kitchen. "Sorry Im late Molly, but I had to clear my disguise with Dumbledore." She said pointing at herself. Tonks had taken the appearance of what looked like a female Dudley Dursley.
This all seemed too familiar to Harry, as if this had already happened. Then he remembered his dream andhad a fleeting sensation in his stomach.
In a second, Tonks is going to fall over the umbrella stand. Harry thought to himself.Then all of the paintings are going to start screaming and then Sirius is going to come through that door and tell his mother that shes an old hag. But then hes going to die again and i cant let that happen. he though despretely. Im going to stop him from closing his mothers curtains and get him out of here, then i can finally have my godfather back.
"Do you want some help with the luggage, i dont mind." Tonks said grabbing hold of Ginnys trunk before anyone could answer.
This is it, Harry thought, any minute now and ill have him back. After two years ill be able to see him again, to talk to him again.
Suddenly all of the paintings started screaming insults and Harry turned to face the kitchen door.
"Any minute now....." He muttured to himself. But no one came. Mrs. Weasly had stunned all of the paintings and all went quite.
Harry was suddenly filled with diaspointment and anger. why was Sirius not coming ? But then he was filled with guilt. It was only a dream that he had had, Siruis wasnt really back, he had only come back in his dream. Harry stared at the floor. He was so convinced that his godfather would be walking through that door and greeting him. He felt so ashamed of himself.
"Right we best be off then, we dont want to be late do we....are you alright Harry, you look a bit peeky? Mr. Weasly asked politly.
"No im fine, lets go." Harry said , and with one last look at the kitchen door he left the house.
