Harry woke up the next morning feeling refreshed, and feeling immensely glad that the Triwizard Tournament was over. What's more, he was the youngest winner in the history of the Triwizard Tournament. He walked up to Fred and George, and gave them his winnings from the tournament. "Harry mate, we can't take this." Fred said. "Yeah mate, it's yours." George agreed. Harry told them "If you don't take it, I'm going to get rid of it. Besides, I don't need the money. Just take it and start your joke shop." Fred took the sack of galleons, and he and George said at the same time "Thank you Harry, we won't forget this." Harry walked away, saying to them "Don't even think of paying me back. Just think of it as an investment."
Harry went to go get Daphne from the Slytherin Common Room, and found that she was waiting for him outside of the portrait entrance. "Hello, my love." Harry said, as he pulled her into a hug. "Thank goodness you made it out of that maze alive." Daphne said. Harry nodded his head in agreement, as they walked to the Great Hall for the Closing Feast. They sat at the Gryffindor Table, next to Hermione and Ron. Hermione asked Harry "When are you going to tell us what happened in the maze?" Harry replied "On the train, so we can't be overheard." They ate their food like everyone else, and stopped talking when Dumbledore gave his End-Of-Term Speech.
"For our students that returned, another year has gone, and you have learned much more about magic and broadened your minds. For the First-Years, you've completed your first year of magical education, and have just started the journey to learning more about it. Now, as I'm pretty sure you have all read in the Daily Prophet, Lord Voldemort is back. He was resurrected last night, and tried to kill Mr. Potter again, but like the last time, he failed. We all need to stick together in these troubling times that are facing us, and we all need to learn how to never give up, even when it seems as it's the only option." Dumbledore said.
Slowly, every student and teacher started clapping at the end of Dumbledore's speech, and Harry walked up to Professor Dumbledore. "Professor?" Harry asked him. Dumbledore looked up at the young man, and asked "What is it Harry?" Harry then said with a smile on his face "I think that next year, I better start learning Occlumency. I'm sick of having these nightmares or visions or whatever you want to call them." Dumbledore smiled at Harry, and said "Yes, Mr. Potter. I agree with you. I'll see if Sirius wants to give you Occlumency lessons, when he starts his teaching next year." Harry nodded, and headed back to the Gryffindor Table.
When it was time to go, Harry, Daphne, Hermione, and Ron followed everybody back to Hogsmeade Station for the trip home. "It's been one eventful year at Hogwarts." Ron said. "Hopefully it doesn't get any more eventful from now on." Hermione said. "It shouldn't. After all, we only have two more years left. How much more eventful can it get?" Daphne put in. "Trust me, it's going to get more eventful now that Voldemort's back. Now that he's back in power, we are in the middle of the Second Wizarding War, and it's only a matter of time, until he starts to make his move." Harry said. Daphne, Hermione, and Ron all knew what he said was true, but were trying to make light of the situation they were in.
They got on the Hogwarts Express, and tried to find an empty compartment to get in. The closest thing they got to empty, was a compartment with Ginny, Neville, and a blonde Ravenclaw girl. They got into the compartment, and Harry locked the door. He then looked at everybody, and sat down, getting ready to tell them what had happened in the maze. "There I was, using the 'Point Me' spell to find my way to the Triwizard Cup, and I was met with a bunch of challenges: a riddling Sphinx, a boggart in the form of a Dementor, living plant life, and of course, Voldemort's resurrection. I handled pretty much everything easily, except for facing Voldemort. I was terrified, when I saw that he was back. It was me and him and thirteen of his followers in that graveyard. We duelled, and my Disarming Charm collided with his Killing Curse, and the spells were locked together by a golden thing, then this shield appeared out of nowhere, surrounding me and Voldemort. Then I saw the ghosts of everybody Voldemort had killed, including my parents."
Hermione and Daphne put both of their hands up to their mouths, as Harry got silent after mentioning seeing his parents. "Harry that's impossible. No magic can bring back the dead" Hermione finally said, after putting her hands away from her mouth. Harry looked at her, and angrily answered back "I know that, but I saw them, and talked to them!" Hermione stayed silent about his parents after that, and it was an uneasy silence for the rest of the trip back to King's Cross Station. They got off of the train, and Harry went with Daphne to see her off, before he went back to Grimmauld Place with Sirius.
Daphne walked up to a man and a woman in regal-looking clothes, and her sapphire blue eyes and blonde hair. "Who's this young lad?" asked Daphne's dad. "Mom, dad, this is Harry Potter. My boyfriend." Daphne explained, which elicited a small smile out of Harry. "Dear Harry, I haven't seen you since you were a toddler. How have you been?" Daphne's mother asked. Harry replied "I've been well, ever since I moved out of my aunt and uncle's house. I've been even better since the end of the Triwizard Tournament. Barty Crouch Jr., who was disguised as Professor Moody, hoodwinked the Goblet of Fire, to select me as a Triwizard Champion. I live with my godfather, Sirius Black now."
Daphne's dad looked at the young man, as he saw that this young man has been through a lot. "Well young Harry," Daphne's dad started telling him "If you ever want to come visit Daphne during the summer, then you are more than welcome to. Also, if you do come, bring Sirius along. I haven't seen him in ages. You can come by Floo Travel, just put Floo Powder into your fireplace, and say 'Greengrass Manor' and you'll be there instantly." Daphne's dad clapped him on the back, and Daphne gave him a kiss goodbye, then he went to go find Sirius.
He found him with the Weasleys, having a full-on conversation about his appointment as Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts next year. Harry walked up to Sirius, and asked "When are we leaving, Sirius?" Sirius looked down at his godson, and answered "In a moment, I just need to finish talking to Arthur about something." Harry nodded, and walked to Ron, and asked him "Any exciting plans for this summer, Ron?" Ron replied "Nothing too exciting. Probably just going to do what we usually do every summer: clean the house. And knowing mum, she'll have me degnome the garden again. How about you?" Harry replied "Same, minus the cleaning. I might just visit Diagon Alley everyday though, when I'm not hanging out with Sirius."
The two teens then played a quick game of Exploding Snap, and went home. "Sirius, we all know a war is coming up, but why is everybody acting like it's not happening?" Harry asked his godfather, rather inquisitively. Sirius answered "They're not acting like a war is coming, because they know they have to live each moment as if it's their last. These moments that we have these coming days are going to be filled with love, fun, and no worries. Even if there is a war coming, we have to remember to stay calm and peaceful until it comes." Harry nodded his response, as Sirius apparated himself and his godson and his godson's things into Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place. "I don't think I'm ever going to get used to that." Harry said as he tried not to throw up.
Sirius laughed at his godson, as he took Harry's things upstairs, and when he came back downstairs, he was still laughing. "You'll get used to it after about four times." Sirius said between breaths and bouts of laughter. "Why isn't your mother screeching at your loud laughing?" Harry muttered loudly. Sirius replied "I finally got rid of that old bag's portrait. I found the spell she used, and casted the counter-charm on it. Also, I got rid of Kreacher and got a new House-Elf. One I'm sure you're familiar with. And by got rid of Kreacher, I mean I gave him his wish and cut off his head, and hung it up with the other House-Elf heads."
At this time, Harry heard a loud crack, and when he looked to his right, he saw his favorite House-Elf: Dobby. "Harry Potter sir, and Sirius sir has returned home. Shall I be making dinner for the two?" Dobby asked. Sirius answered "Sure Dobby, I'm feeling Chinese food right now. What about you Harry?" Harry replied "I can go with some Mexican food right now." "Then Dobby's be making the Chinese and Mexican foods for the two sirs." Dobby proclaimed happily.
"Harry, now that you're here, and that dinner is being made, I need to tell you something important." Sirius told him. Harry asked "What do you need to tell me, Sirius?" Sirius said "This summer, there are going to be a lot of people coming to this house, and I wanted to let you know." Harry asked "Sirius, who's going to be coming here?" Sirius answered "The Order of the Phoenix."
