Harry sat in his room thinking "I miss Sirius."

He decided to go take a walk. Just then he heard a 'woof.'

"Don't get your hopes up" he thought.

As he opened the door a big black dog jumped inside.

"Sirius" he thought with great happiness He rushed him up stairs before Aunt Petunia saw him and made him take Sirius out. He rushed him to his room and locked the door so Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon, or Dudley came in.

"It's you" Harry said.

"Woof" the dog replied.

Harry saw places where the fur had been torn off. He saw cuts and wounds.

"You're a mess" Harry said "Let me go get the first-aid kit." When Harry returned he saw a man sitting on his bed. It was Sirius.

"Sirius" Harry said "I thought you were dead."

"So did I" Sirius said.

"Let me mail a letter and then you can tell me your story" Harry said just then a great snowy owl, a really small owl, and a gruff looking brown owl flew in Harry's window. Harry knew the first two. They were his owl, Hedwig and Ron's owl, Pig. Harry didn't know who the last owl was though.

Harry thought "I'd better start with him." He took the letter from the gruff one's leg and the owl took off.

"Hmmm" he thought "he must not want an answer." Harry tore open the letter. It was his O.W.Ls results. O.W.Ls stood for Outstanding Wizarding Levels. The fifth years all had to take them. Harry had the following results.

Harry was so happy.

"11 OWLs" he thought. You could only get 12.

"I bet Hermione got 12 OWLs" he thought. Percy had got 12 also. Harry picked up Hedwig's package. He opened it up. In it was a letter from Hermione. It said:

Dear Harry,

I got 13 Owls. What did you get? I was so happy. Well here is your birthday present. I hope you like it.

Love Hermione

Out dropped a book.

"That figures" he thought. But when he flipped the book over he gasped. The title said: The Amazing Book of Animagus. Another letter this one said:

Dear Harry,

I know you have to be registered to be an Animagus but since Snuffles was and you dad was also I thought you might want to be one also. If you would I would be willing to try and you might get Ron, Ginny, Neville, and Luna to try it with us also. Well I hope I see you before see you before we get to Hogwarts but if I don't I will say goodbyes now.

Love, Hermione

"Wow" Harry thought "I would love to become an Amiagus that would be really neat of course I would be willing to try." Harry showed the book to Sirius. "Wow" Sirius said that looks like the book your dad, me, Lupin, and Peter used when we learned to become Amiagus
