Harry Potter and The Golden Patronus

Chapter 1

From Privet Drive to Headquarters

A week or so had passed since Harry Potter had arrived to his "beloved home" at Privet Drive # 4 Little Whinging, Surrey. He had passed most of the time in his room mourning over his godfather, because even though everyone had told him that it wasn't his fault, he still felt guilty because if he hadn't went to the Department of Mysteries, Sirius and the Order wouldn't have had to go save him , and he would still be alive.

As if this wasn't enough, that same night he had learned that he was the only one who could defeat the most powerful dark wizard of that time, so dark and evil that no one except a few dared pronounce his name. He called himself Voldemort. That name had made Harry's life so unbearable, especially for the last five years, that he hated and repulsed him more than anyone else. Because of him he had lost his parents, and the closest thing he ever had to a father, Sirius, his godfather.

He had been thinking about that until a pecking noise on the window took him out of his stupor. As he turned to the window, he saw a completely brown owl waiting for him to open the window so he could deliver the mail. He opened the window and gave the owl some water as he opened the letter. It was from Remus, and although it was short, it made Harry very happy:

We will be going there tomorrow at twelve to take you to Padfoot's place, so have everything ready.

Moony

Harry immediately started picking up all his stuff and packed everything in his trunk. Then he proceeded to close his mind to prevent Voldemort trying to enter his mind as he did last time when he lured him into the Minister of Magic. Then, he drifted into a dreamless sleep.

Next morning he woke up and went down to have breakfast; his aunt and uncle hadn't been as cruel with him since he arrived, because of the threat that Mad Eye Moody had made to them. Now they just ignored him. He served himself two pieces of toast with jelly, and some orange juice and he informed his guardians that he would be gone for the rest of the summer, something to which they didn't show much resistance. As he had done before he went to the living room and waited for the clock to have both hands pointing up. When he was finally getting impatient at twelve and a quarter, he heard the so waited knocking on the door and quickly jumped up the sofa.

As he opened the door he saw four familiar faces. Remus, Moody, Tonks, and Mr. Weasley were there with big smiles, well if you could call Moody's a smile. As Remus helped Harry with its trunk, Moody and Tonks inspected the house and eyed his uncle and Dudley suspiciously. Meanwhile, Mr. Weasley looked curiously at the T.V. and the remote, as well as other muggle artifacts.

-So Remus, how are we going to Grimmauld place- asked Harry with curiosity.

-Well we were thinking about going on brooms but it's noon so the sky is pretty clear and muggles could see us… So we're traveling by portkey.- he said as he took out a pretty round stone.

-Okay everybody gather around now. Harry do you have everything- asked Moody in his ever grumbled voice.

Harry nodded, and joined the others who touched the rock, and started a countdown looking at their watches. "Five, four, three, two, one…" He felt the familiar but not pleasant feeling that he was being dragged around in a whirlpool of colors, and in less than a minute, it suddenly stopped.

As he fell on his knees and recovered his balance, some three blocks away from were Sirius's house was, and when he arrived at the manor, he couldn't find a word to describe what his eyes were contemplating…

-You like the changes we have made to the headquarters- he asked with a little grin on his face.

-Y.. yeah, it looks pretty good, compared to last year…- he said, still shocked to see the house renewed.

It looked really neat, it was no longer a dark house but a very bright one, and as they entered, he saw that most of the house had been cleaned up and that all the walls were now a creamy yellow tone, and suspected that Mrs. Weasley have had something to do with it. When he entered the kitchen he saw Ron and Hermione, arguing, "so rare in them" he thought as he rolled his eyes.

-Hermione there is absolutely No way that someone would jump out to nothingness just tied to a useless rope! That's just insane- said Ron with a bewildered expression on his face.

-It's not insane Ronald, it's called bungee, and it's a pretty popular sport in the muggle world…- Hermione said.

-Guys. Guys? GUYS- he almost screamed at the ever-fighting duo.

-Oh Harry hi! We were just discussing some muggle sports.- said Hermione.

-Yeah, we were talking about the crazy stuff muggles do for fun…- said Ron with a scared look on his face.

-What have you been up to? Have you done anything interesting- asked Harry.

-Well, not really we arrived just a couple of hours ago…- said Hermione just before she was interrupted by Mrs. Weasley.

-Harry dear! How are you? Have you eaten yet? Are you hungry? No? Have you slept well- asked Mrs. Weasley while embracing him in a large bear hug.

-I'm fine Mrs. Weasley, thanks- he said as he backed away from the gigantic hug.

-Harry, Ron, Hermione! Please come here- said Remus, as the others gathered around him with the word curiosity on their faces. -As you know this mansion has an extensive library and well, I thought that you would like to go into it and search some spells, to defend yourself, and practice… you know, duelling stuff.- finished Remus.

-Well we would like that but Remus, there is the underage magic restriction…- said Hermione in an I-know-it-all tone.

-Yes, but Dumbledore placed a charm on this house, so you can do magic here without the ministry knowing- said Remus as he watched the joy on the trio's faces.

"Well, then you know where to find us Remus" said Hermione as she dragged two astonished looking boys to the manor's library.

As they entered the library they separated so each of them could look for things they were interested in. Hermione took some books on transfiguration and quickly submerged herself into them, and Ron was seeking some offensive and defensive hexes with Harry. Then they stumbled into the charms section and looked for a while in there, not finding anything interesting. Ron took a book on defensive charms and went with Hermione to read in a large table. Harry decided to explore more of the library as he had rarely been there, and kept walking along the aisles. Then he came to a dead end and decided to go back and revise the dark arts section, just as he realized a runic inscription in one of the daggers that hung from the wall with a sparking rune at the beginning and another one at the end. He suddenly felt an urge to touch it and without thinking it twice, he extended his arm, took the dagger off it's place and as he touched the sparking rune, he felt his body being pulled at a great velocity, kilometres away from the order's headquarters. He suddenly stopped in a torch-lit room with nothing but a rusty and old-looking door, and a very dusty book, and it wasn't a normal book Harry could tell, it was a spellbook. When Harry read the title, he suddenly gasped and couldn't move due to the shock. The book title was written with a very fine calligraphy that said one simple six-lettered word. Merlin.

Well that's my first chapter, I know it doesn't have a lot of action but it's the first chapter and generally first chapters aren't that exciting… It's kind of a cliffy here so… I promise a better second chapter, with more action and again please review I need it. )
