Chapter 3 Diagon Ally

Sorry for the long wait everyone. I've been really busy lately. Anyway here it is.

Harry had a nice dream that night. He dreamed that he went to go and live with his father's two best friends, Remus Lupin and Sirius Black. There would be no trouble living with Sirius because he was now free, so dementors weren't after him. After that, there was another interesting dream. He dreamed of the Dark Lord but it didn't scare him or some reason this time. This dream he saw people wearing red robes with a golden phoenix on the front. He, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger were also some of the people wearing these robes.

Harry noticed right then and there that he had his wand in his hand and that he was dueling with Lord Voldemort for yet another time in his life. Harry saw Voldemort trying to shoot "Avada Kadavra" spells at him so he was dodging them. Something that he found highly curious since no one can supposedly defeat the curse.

Harry saw Professor Dumbledore and the other people in red battling with the death-eaters. Harry jumped nearly five feet into the air, narrowly missing another "Avada Kadavra" curse being sent his way by Lord Voldemort, when he heard Professor Dumbledore whisper something to Harry.

"Harry, you must concentrate really hard in order to defeat Voldemort. All you have to do is disarm him. When concentrating, you will feel different, but don't wonder what it is or it will be too late to stop Voldemort." Dumbledore's voice disappeared as he went back to help fight off the death-eaters.

Harry took aim and concentrated very hard on Lord Voldemort and started to say, "Expe………." Harry never knew what happened because he had awakened from his dream. How come I can never finish dreams like that, Harry thought?

Looking at his watch Harry decided to get up. When he got down to the common room, he found Sirius and Remus already there waiting for him. Harry cleared his throat to let them know that he was there. They both looked up staring at Harry for a moment, and then smiling, all three of them exchanged "good-morning's."

"Why did you stare at me for a few minutes, did I interrupt something important that you guy's want to keep a secret from me?" Harry questioned.

"Actually, we were discussing something that we …er… have to tell you and the best way to tell you." Remus said looking like he'd rather let Dumbledore do this himself.

"Well, what is it that you want to tell me" Harry asked.

"Um… maybe you should sit down, as this might take a while." Sirius said.

Harry sat down at stared at his old professor and his godfather.

"As you already know Harry, Lord Voldemort has returned." Remus started to say and Harry nodded in agreement.

"Well, when he was in his first reign of power before his downfall, there were people who fought against him. They belonged to an order. This order was called the Order of the Phoenix," Sirius stated.

"Did they happen to wear red robes that had a golden phoenix on the front" Harry queried? Both men stared at Harry. How did he know about the uniforms that the order used to wear when fighting with the Dark Lord?

"I'll explain how I know later, just finish your story," Harry concluded after guessing that he was correct in saying the uniform.

"Seeing you know that part, then I guess that all we have to tell you is that you're the only one that can defeat the Dark Lord Harry," concluded Sirius.

"Professor Lupin," Harry said.

"Just call me Remus, Harry."

"O.K. Remus Harry. Do you know if Professor Dumbledore is awake yet?"

"Yes he is, but why do you want to know," Remus asked?

"You'll see, in a few minutes. I guess this means that you want to come along with me." Harry stated.

Both men nodded in agreement. They followed Harry in silence towards the stone gargoyle in front of Dumbledore's office. When the reached there, Sirius gave the password and the gargoyle moved aside. They climbed the spiral staircase and reached Dumbledore's office. Harry knocked on the door.

"Good morning Harry, what brings you three here?" questioned Dumbledore.

"I need to talk to you Professor about something that happened this morning." Harry simply stated.

This statement earned him questioning looks from everyone. They stepped inside Dumbledore's office and took a seat.

"Well you see last night I had a strange dream." Harry continued to tell them about the whole entire dream. At the end Dumbledore had a look on his face that seemed to have meant that he was having a battle against himself.

Finally Dumbledore stated, "Harry, since school starts tomorrow you'll have to get your new school books and supplies. I have arranged for Remus and Sirius to take you after lunch." Harry nodded and then left the office.

"So Harry what's on your list?" Remus asked.

"Well I need some new school books and robes. I also need some supplies." Harry said.

"We've saved you the trouble of having to get you dueling and defense books." Smiled Remus.

"What. You guy's didn't have to do that for me you know." Harry said, completely surprised.

"We know, but with everything that will be going on, we decided to give you a treat." Sirius stated.

"You guy's are the greatest. No wonder you were my dad's best friends'." Harry said with a small laugh.

After they completed all of their shopping, Harry treated the three of them to a sundae from Fortescue's ice cream parlour.

By the time they got back to the castle, it was already late. They all wished each other a good night and went off in their own directions. That was a real fun day, Harry thought to himself.

He gave the password to the Fat Lady and entered the Gryffindor common room. He made hi way to the boy's dormitory and got ready for bed. Little did Harry know that big surprises were in store for him the next day.
