Oh wow Sorry for the slow update, I just finished my End of semester exam.
The next few weeks passed without any drama, everything seems to be back to normal as if the events never happened, Dudley was back to his normal self in no time at all and resumed terrorizing the neighborhood.
Mr. Weasley came to pick Harry up from his house despite the strong protest from uncle Vernon who threatened Mr. Weasley with a Pie in the face.
"Well Harry," Mr. Weasley said after they finally managed to fit Harry's possessions inside the ministry car. "How was your holiday?"
"Its boring I guess, nothing interesting happened." Harry lied.
"Well, it has been busy for me at the ministry all summer. Not a single minute of rest I can tell you that, its work, work, work." Mr. Weasley said, while backing the car out of the drive way."
"Is it because Voldermort is on the move again?" Harry asked, leaning forward from the back sit, eager to find out what is happening in the wizarding world.
Mr. Weasley flinched at that name. "You would think so, but no. Something sinister is going on, the Ministry is working around the clock to contain it." Mr. Weasley said in a gloom tone. "You see Harry, the death eaters are turning up dead, sometimes in groups."
"Isn't that good news?" Harry asked in a curious tone.
"Well yes, but the problem is the aurors didn't do it. Someone or something else is behind all the killing, as if You-Know-Who returning isn't chaotic enough…" Mr. Weasley trailed off and continued his driving.
Harry stared out his side window, deep down he knew who was responsible it had to them. Who else would care to oppose Voldermort?
"You look pale, everything ok Harry?" Mr. Weasley asked peering into his rear mirror.
"Yea just didn't get a good night sleep." Harry said in a matter of fact tone.
Mr. Weasley didn't ask anymore questions, It was clear that Harry's mind was on something else. The pair drove silently towards Kingscross Station.
"Alright Harry, I just drop you off here I have to get back to office." Mr. Weasley said as he helped Harry to unload his belongings. "Ron should be waiting for you on the platform, have a good year Harry." Mr. Weasley smiled at Harry and quickly climbed back into his car and drove down the road.
Wow, He is busy. Harry thought to himself and pushed his trolley into the station. True to his words, Ron was there waiting in front of the barrier.
"Harry!" Ron shouted a big smile appeared on his face.
"How did you get here?" Harry asked as he approached Ron.
"My mum, dad hasn't been home all week, spend all his time in the office." Ron replied and slapped Harry hard on the back.
"Come on, lets get on that train before it leaves us behind…again." Ron said, pushing Harry quickly through the barrier.
Meanwhile in a location not to far from Hogwarts another secret meeting was underway.
"Master, everything is being carried out to your plan."
"Good…good…I trust Sycther will be in Hogwarts soon?"
"Yes, he has notified us that he isabout to board the Hogwarts Express."
A smile appeared on the winkled old man's face; he turned around and stared at the high walls of Hogwarts.
"Come, its time for phase two."
The old man placed his hood over his head and walked swiftly back into the forbidden forest. His followers quickly followed their master across the dump forest floor.
As the pair arrived on the platform, a familiar face greeted them.
"There you guys are!" Hermione exclaimed. "She rushed up to the boys and gave them each a hug. "Lets go, if you haven't noticed the express is about to leave."
Harry looked around, Hermione was right. The platform was all empty, everyone had already boarded the train. As the trio hurried into the train Harry felt a rush of warmness, he was finally back with his friends and nothing was going to stop him from enjoying the trip to Hogwarts…
