"The veil never did that before," Harry thought.

This time the dream was different. He looked over to his clock and saw it read 5:30.

"I'll never get back to sleep now," he said putting the pillow on his head.

Since he usually got up for an early morning run anyway, today would be no exception. Harry got up, put on his running clothes and walked quietly down the stairs and went outside. He went around the block a few times. On his 5th time around, he almost tripped over someone.

"Sorry...oh hi Cassie."

Cassie was currently lying on the grass after being pushed over. "Don't worry Harry, I was distracted too," she said.

"When would be the best time fore you to come over," she then asked.

Harry thought about it. "Around 12 would be fine since my uncle is going to work, my aunt is going shopping and my cousin is somewhere."

"Great, I'll go tell my mum," she said and went back inside.


Harry went back into his house and went back to his room to get a bit more sleep. Harry's uncle told him soon that he had to get up because everyone was leaving.

"Always sleeping in, every morning," his uncle said walking away.

Harry once again got up and put some clothes on. When he finally got downstairs, only his aunt was left.

"I'm leaving you here today. The list is on the refrigerator. If anything gets broken or ruined then you'll be in that room till school starts. Do I make myself clear?"

"Inescapably," he said back.

After she left, Harry went to see what she left him to do.

"Clean my room, Dudley's and weed the garden," he said sighing.

He looked at the clock and it was almost noon now.

"Guess I should go now," he said.

Harry went across the street and rang the doorbell. The door opened and it was Cassie again.

"Hey Harry, come on in."

"Is that you Harry," Justine asked from the kitchen.

"Yes," he said.

She walked right in and gave him a big hug. He could tell she was crying as well. "You've gotten so big," she said finally letting go.

"Yeah," he said before adding, "I'm sorry for your loss."

"Well, as long as he's in a better place now. Come and sit down," she said leading him to the living room.

"Your home is lovely," he said.

"Thank you. Cassie, could you bring in the tray," Justine said.

Cassie came in with a tray of sandwiches and butterbeer.

"So, what do you want me to tell you?"

"How was everything before... he died," Justine asked slowly.

Harry wasn't very sure what to really say.

"Well, he seemed okay. Dumbledore was making him stay inside of the house and everyone could tell he was restless. When he heard that I thought he was being tortured, he came to rescue me," he said sadly.

"Harry, it's not your fault. It's Voldemort and Krecher's. He would have wanted to go like that, in the heat of battle rather than inside the house he hated so much," Justine said.

"Sirius never told me he was married and had a daughter though," Harry said.

"Well, after he went into hiding, I brought Cassie with me to America and once they thought he did it and went to jail, I couldn't get back at all until now."

"Why?"

"Well since they thought he was Voldemorts right hand man, they would think I was a Deatheater myself. See we both came from very pureblood associated families."

"So, what family..."

"I was born into the wonderful Malfoy's. Lucious is my stupid older brother. Sometimes I find it so funny that I married Sirius. A pureblood who hated their family married a pureblood who hated their family," Justine said laughing abit.

"So I take it you knew my mother since you were in the same year."

"Oh yes, we were the best of friends. Never without each other, much like with Sirius and your father."


Harry looked at his watch (he got a new one). "I'd better go, my aunt left me some chores and she won't be happy if..."

"What does she want you to do," Cassie asked.

"Clean my room and Dudley's and weed the garden."

"She's making you do all of that," Justine asked.

Harry nodded while Justine thought for a moment. "Why don't we help you? When does she come home?"

"Around 4 but you never know really."

"Well then let's go now and we can swap more stories."

So the three of them got up and left the house to go to the other. The first place they went to was Harry's room.

"How can you live like this," Cassie asked.

Books and clothes were all over the place. Justine just waved her wand and everything began to clean and move by itself.

"On to Dudley's," Justine said.

Once they opened the door, they had to close it again.

"How can he sleep in there," Justine asked.

She tapped the door with her wand and opened it again to find no smell, but everything was all over the place. She used the same charm and everything went to their proper places again. Finally they went out to the yard. She waved her wand in a different formation and the weeds shrunk to nothing.

"Come, we'll go back to the house now."

"Why did we even need to come in the first place anyway," Cassie asked no one as they walked back.


Once back inside, Cassie took Harry to her room.

"I'll call if I see your aunt or someone," Justine said from downstairs as they went up.

"You can help me put my things away," Cassie said opening her door.

It was true, most of her things were still in boxes.

"Let's get started."

Within an hour her whole room was perfect.

"Hey, you have a Firebolt too."

"Yeah, my mother bought it for my last birthday."

"Harry, your aunt's driving up," Justine said.

"See you soon," Harry said and left.

Once downstairs, Justine grabbed his hand. "I can apparate both of us to your bedroom," she said.

Harry closed his eyes and felt like he was going through a tube. He opened them and was inside his bedroom.

"See you soon," he said.

Justine waved and disappeared again.


Don't worry, it'll get more exciting later. I really hope you like it. Review please.
