Harry now had a lot on his mind as he lay in his bed, staring up at the ceiling. He tried his best to sleep but he just couldn't. He was happy for Ron and Hermione, and he didn't want to spoil their good time with this news. So Harry decided he would have to wait until he was at Hogwarts to tell them. Harry now wanted to sleep more than anything because tomorrow he would be on the train to Hogwarts once again.

"Why can't I just fall asleep?" Harry thought to himself as he stirred in his bed.

"Maybe I should count sheep . . ." Harry remembered his parents telling him to do so when he couldn't fall asleep once, as a baby. "Well it's worth a shot . . . 1 . . . 2 . . . 3" Harry counted silently as he yawned and drifted off to sleep.

"You FOOLS! Now he has gone off and told Dumbledore!" Voldemort roared in anger. "CRUCIO!" Voldemort smiled cruelly as he watched the deatheaters fall to the floor in pain.

"But . . . But my Lord, it is Avery's fault Harry even saw him. Harry sent his letter before we had a chance to intercept his letter!" Goyle said as he bowed down to Voldemort.

"Don't go and blame Avery now Goyle, He has already had his punishment." Voldemort smirked.

"Please excuse the interruption, but I have some good news." Lucius said.

"Well, get on with it then . . ." Voldemort said impatiently.

"I believe I have found a way to Get Potter here." Lucius said a giant smile broadening on his face."

"Well done Lucius. Out with it . . ." Voldemort seemed to be very happy with this news.

"Harry, HARRY!" Harry woke up to Ron's worried face. "Harry? Are you okay mate?" Ron looked rather worried.

"Please don't tell me I was talking in my sleep again." Harry said noticing his scar was searing with pain.

"Yeah you were. But you kept saying," Ron gulped "Voldemort is coming." Ron cringed hearing himself say his name. "What's going on?"

"Huh?" Harry was just now sat up, he had been lying on the floor, and not even noticed. "Oh it's nothing, just another ordinary nightmare." Harry didn't want to have to tell Ron just yet.

"Harry, when have you ever had any ordinary nightmare?" Ron asked suspiciously.

"I'm FINE okay?" Harry yelled angrily as he got up to leave the room.

"Alright mate, if you're sure." Ron said obviously still unconvinced that Harry was fine "Besides, we have to hurry or we'll miss the train."

Harry had totally forgotten that he was leaving for Hogwarts today. As he and Ron walked down the stairs towards the kitchen, Harry stopped.

"Hey, are you comin' ?" Ron asked.

"No go ahead I forgot something." Harry lied as he stared down the stairs.

"Alright meet you back in the kitchen." Ron said cheerily as he hoped down the last couple stairs.

Harry had just remembered where he was. He was in his dead godfather's house. Sirius had been his last family member and Harry barely even knew him.

"Has it already been two months?" Harry said as he slumped down to the step. Harry had thought of his godfather, but since he was there he had never thought he, Harry, would be here while his godfather wasn't. He had missed Sirius terribly over the summer, and wished he could be there. But he had not even realized Sirius was gone since he was here. Harry couldn't help but let hot tears brim the edges of his eyes. He started back up the stairs, when Ginny came out of her room and had bumped into him. As she looked upat himand he looked down at her, Harry could see that she had been upset about something too. Ginny then quickly embraced Harry in a long hug.

As they hugged, Ginny whispered in his ear "What's the matter?" Harry then broke loose of her tight hug and held her hand.

"I was just thinking of Sirius, you?"

Ginny then broke into a cry. Harry still didn't understand what she was so upset about.

"Oh it's nothing." Ginny said as Harry used his hand to wipe away her tears. Harry suddenly felt something for Ginny that he had never felt for anyone else before.

"Come on, we are missing breakfast." Harry said gently as they walked down the stairs together. Once they had reached the kitchen they had both tried to walk through the doorway together, but it obviously didn't work.

"After you, ladies are always first." Harry said smiling as he held open the door for Ginny.

"Thank-you." Ginny said as she tried to hide the fact that she was blushing uncontrollably.

"Alright everyone, eat up! We are going to have to hurry." Mrs.Weasley said as she distributed the plates.

After breakfast everyone hauled their trunks downstairs and into the muggle car once again and headed for the train station.

"Everyone, once we get to the station, I will need you to find your way to the platform. Your father and I are supposed to help Fred and George with their shop today, alright?" Mrs.Weasley asked as she watched everyone from the review mirror.

"Yes mum." Ginny and Ron said at the same time as Hermione and Harry both said "Yes Mrs.Weasley."

As they all reached the train station Mr. and Mrs.Weasley hugged and kissed goodbye to everyone and bid them farewell.

"Well I guess let's get going." Ron said with a smile as they headed to platform 9 & ¾.

Harry was glad to be going back to Hogwarts finally. He was ready to actually feel safe again.

"Well, Harry, Ginny, we have to go sit in with the other prefects so . . . I guess we will see you later." Hermione said as she and Ron left.

Harry now sat alone with Ginny on the train. "So uh. . . " Ginny said trying to bring up something to talk about. "Excited about going back to school?"

"Yeah, kinda." Harry lied unconvincingly. Harry wanted to ask Ginny why she had been crying earlier this morning, but he just couldn't find the words to say it.

"I . . . well, um . . . alright out with it already, why were you crying this morning?" Harry asked in a hurry.

"Well, the truth is, is that . . ." But Ginny didn't have time to finish her sentence because just then Neville came in.

"Hi guys! Do you mind if I sit here everywhere else is full." Neville said smiling.

"No not at all!" Ginny responded smiling back at him.

"K. Thanks." Neville answered quickly taking a seat next to Harry. "So how was your summer?"

"Good." Harry and Ginny answered at the same time. "And yours?" Harry asked looking towards Neville.

"Great! I started my own garden of mandrakes, and a few mimbulus mimbletonias too! My Gram was so proud of us after fighting those deatheaters, that she let me get my own little greenhouse!" Neville said now beaming with delight. Neville then rambled on (for about an hour)about his new little greenhouse.

"Wow Neville, that's great!" Ginny said trying to sound interested.

"It seems we're almost there." Harry said looking out the window.

"Wow, where did the time go?" Ginny said smiling towards Harry again.

"Yeah, where did the time go . . ." Harry repeated before getting lost in his own worries and thoughts.
