Harry slid out of his bed with a scream of rage. "SIRIUS BLACK!" He heard a snort and the sound of footsteps pounded down the hall. Harry brushed his bright pink hair away from his face and took off after his godfather. "SIRIUS BLACK! YOU GET BACK HERE!" He screamed as he followed the large black dog through the halls.

Sirius twisted a head to wink at him and kept running. Harry growled and sped up, not noticing he was running right past his father. "Harry! HARRY JAMES POTTER!" Severus bellowed. His voice seemed to echo through the whole hall.

"Sorry! Gotta catch that mutt!" Harry called back. Severus shook his head as he watched his son chase after Sirius.

"He's fast." Remus said from behind Severus. The raven-haired man nodded.

"There's vampire blood in my family. I have some vampiric traits and he'll probably have some." Remus nodded. "I'm going down to make breakfast. Care to join me?" Remus nodded thoughtfully and both men winced when they heard a crash and a yelp.

"Sounds like Harry's got him." Remus commented as they made their way down the stairs. Sure enough, when they reached the kitchen, Harry had Sirius spinning upside down near the ceiling.

"Put me down!" Sirius wailed. "I feel sick!"

"Tell me the counter charm fleabag!" Harry growled in response, making Severus smirk.

"Remus….Severus..please help me!" Sirius pleaded. Harry dropped the man on his head, gently of course, and growled again. Sirius hastily waved his wand and Harry's hair turned black again.

"Learned your lesson Padfoot?" Remus asked. Sirius sat himself at the table and glared at Harry, who muttered something that sounded like 'you deserved it'.

"Harry, I spoke with Dumbledore last night." Severus changed the subject. Harry grimaced as he helped himself to some toast.

"And what did he say?"

"You can go back to Hogwarts." Severus replied. Harry nodded. "I'll be tutoring you…." Harry shook his head and cut Severus off.

"I only missed less than a month of work, and I've read all of the books you bought me. I'll be able to catch up without help." Harry said around a mouthful of bacon. "There is one thing though."

"Go on."

"I want to be resorted." Sirius and Remus looked up in shock. "I was supposed to be in Slytherin the first time around. I want to know if I changed."

"Acceptable."

"But you can't!" Sirius cried. "You can't leave Gryffindor!"

"I don't think I belong there Siri. It's nothing against you or Mooney, I just need to be where I belong." Sirius pouted. "Besides. I didn't hear you complain last night when Remus was being a…how should I put this…ahh, I'll quote it from you…a 'Slyt…." Harry was cut off by Sirius' hand.

"No need to go there." Sirius mumbled. Severus fixed a light glare on him. The man laughed nervously before bolting away from the table. Harry smirked.

"Well, there goes some fun."

Very short, I know, but I wanted to put Harry's trip to Hogwarts in a separate chapter, and I need to recap here.

Harry was taken to St.Mungos on the first day back to Hogwarts, after the opening feast. He stayed at St. Mungos for sixteen days, then he stayed with Severus for a few more days. Now he'll be going back to Hogwarts to finish his education.

Coming up….

Harry goes to Hogwarts. Yes, he will argue with a certain bumblebee……that's all I'm saying for now.

And heads up. There are only a few more chapters left! I have them all typed out and ready to post.
