Ch2 - Number twelve Grimmauld Place, London

The tear trickled down Potter's face right to his feet when a loud shout just woke him up , " This place has been made a read mud blood , can somebody tell me how to get these people out of the place," Walburga Black continued," ever since he left the home for that Potter he should not have come back. Harry sat up his lavish bed , once used by his Godfather Sirius Black , and just stared at the wall ahead. Each place seems to shout Sirius and he loses his thoughts. "Ahh Master is awake , will sir like a cup of coffee or tea " , asked Kreacher . " A Cup of Tea , and sandwich ", replied Potter. "Master looked very happy , some good dreams sir ", said Kreacher as he dipped the straw in tea and stirred it . Giving the same to Harry , looking in his eyes as if waiting for answer, "yeah ! ". " So , how was it to kill The Dark Lord master , Kreacher is very happy to serve the master who killed the person who was responsible for death of Kreacher's master", Kreacher said with a fury in his eyes, he continued ," does master have some plans for servant today. Does the master wish something else. " . "No , thanks ", Potter said as there was a thud possibly on main door. "Kreacher , Can you please look who has come".
"Hermoine , the one who gave Kreacher new clothes" , happy looking Kreacher disappeared , and in a flick was at the door.
"Please come in , Kreacher is so happy to see you . See Kreacher took a bath today ", the voice was cut short by Walburga's Portait ," More Mud Bloods!!! This place has become dificult even to breathe on. Mud-Bloods should not be allowed to be in here after all, she continued blabbering , as Kreacher took her to Sirius's room . " Harry , are you in there , am waiting for you here , are you there! ", she called out . "just a min Hermoine , will be right there".
Hermoine sipped tea and looked at Kreacher , "Hmmm ... this is really good Kreacher , remembers me of the same taste last year when we were here , so how do you spend your time". For Kreacher , it has been second time only someone has shown sympathy , was greatful to her , as Hermoine continued , " I have raised an issue in Ministry of Magic , and very soon Kreacher's bound to a master will be abolished, and you may live wherever u want ." The happy smile on Kreacher's face seem to fade away , but he kept mum , as if in protest.
" Harry , here you are . So how was the night , did you sleep well. ", asked Hermoine. Harry looked at Kreacher as if asking for him to leave even though he knew that Kreacher would listen to what they will talk , even if it was in hiding.
"Hermoine , i dreamed as if i was back in Pivet Drive , and Dudley was so caring , can we go to Pivet Street today please." , Harry nearly pleaded. "this is not going to help Harry , you know they were not good to you. Also what happened to them last year , and to all the muggles around the place, i dont think it will be a good idea to go there." said hermoine
"Please , lets go there, please !!!". "OK Harry ok , we will go there today. Do you know the latest from Hogwartz ".
"Latest at Hogwarts , whats that ", asked Harry. Hermoine stood up and moved to the window which showed busy. People in long overcoats running down the street. The clock on the wall clocked 8 in the morning , as the people boarded the bus. The sweeper has just sweeped the entire street , and the morning sun spread like fresh fragnence of a rose over the street. Hermoine lost in her thoughts for once , was brought back by Harry as he said ," Hermoine , whats the news ". Hermoine still looking down at the street where a small girl looking right at her was smiling.Her gleaming smile again took Hermoine back to her past, again lost in her thought. The girl waved hand at Hermoine and she waved back, unable to realise the girl is waving a hand at the parrot on the tree which was visible to the muggles in the morning. "Hemoine , she cant see you ", Hermoine looked and gave Harry a stern look. Harry realised he has again made a mistake , but then Hermoine continued ,"Neville got six OWLS in his NEWT" . Harry looked surprised , and also happy , but Hermoine again slammed in between , "and good news Harry , you me and Ron will be back to Hogwartz this year for our NEWTS , and the studies we missed last year ", almost as excited as if she won the Best Student Award. Harry had a blank expression on his face ,as he had not realised that he will be back there for studies. But what will be Hogwarts like Dumbledore , and Snape , Harry was thinking. His thoughts still pondering if Snape was really a good person or his love for him was only his pure dedicated love for his mother Eva Potter which was strong to carry even after her death. His thoughts were cut short by Hermoine , " This means this year you and Ginny will be in same year ", she giggled , "and she has been teasing Ron all the summer as if he has failed, this also means we have some more tasks to do Harry. First we need you to get an owl , someone as good as Hedwig will be difficult but that is needed. And i have another good news for you Harry".
Harry stared at her , , and whats that Hermoine , enquired Harry. " I will tell you soon , am not so sure , but have heard there is a way to get people back from ancient, veiled archway in the Department of Mysteries". Harry ran to Hermoine , took her in arms held high over head , and ran the place. "Tell me Hermoine , you are not playing prank ,tell me this can be true . I always knew Sirius will come for me , if i will call , he will come. right Hermoine ", Hermoine cut his excitement short ,"Harry have just read it somewhere, will do some research and reading before getting it all done. can you arrange me a meeting with Mr Arthur Weasely , i need some information in ministry of magic before i come out with way to get Sirius back. But the bigger problem is we will need help of Shacklebolt as well as Molly and some of Bellatrix. The ancient chamber is full of unseen horrors and only chance we can get Sirius back is if he is still alive in there. "
"But whats exactly there in ancient chamber , Hermoine".
"Ancient chamber is supposed to be most dangerous place to be , both for muggles and whizard world. The people who are stuck by black magic are supposedly thrown there , all lost limbs, ears and all to black magic are accumulated in that chamber. That ancient chamber has its own world , the world full of black magic. It is a third world , one which is shielded from our world. It is not death , after death from the ancient chamber , the person moves to the other world , as we do Harry, our only chance is Sirius survives it" .
There could not have been a better news for Harry Potter who seemed to be dancing in joy. His face shining , his smile as broad as river Nile. Harry just could not believe he was not dreaming as the dursley's one , and secretly pinched himself to confirm all going was true.
"Hermoine , before we go to Hogwarts or London street to buy necessities for the final year , can we go to 10 Pivet Street once".
"Ok Harry , we will go there , fine " , replied Hermoine .
"Ok Harry , should we leave now ", asked Hermoine. "No , wait for a moment", as Harry hurried down the staircase before passing through Regulus room on the right. Harry stopped in between , turned around and saw Kreacher crying to Regulus portrait. Harry was lost in the streams of amnesia , when after death of Sirius , he went from chamber to chamber . Crying , looking hard for return of his godfather , asking each and every one about Sirius. Probably dumbledore knew that Sirius can be brought back , but he must have judged Voldemort's end more important than the Sirius coming back. Sirius died fugitive , but may be this is proved he was not the one who betrayed. Harry was lost in the thoughts , as he entered the Regulus room , fell on his knees and put a hand on Kreacher's shoulders. Kreacher turned head , and one thing Kreacher saw was a drop of tear on brink of his master's eyelid just as one on his. Regulus was smiling in his portrait as if unknown to Kreacher. "Harry, do we leave now", came in Hermoine's voice from the adjoining room though it seemed to come from far end of corridor. "Just a min", harry said as he stood up and asked Kreacher ,"can you get me the key for my "Gringotts Wizarding Bank" . "Yes master ", as Kreacher flicked and came back in blink of eyelid. "Here master, here are the keys". Harry took the keys from Kreacher whose hands looked properly cleaned , unlike the look when he first saw Kreacher a year back. Harry rushed out of the room, in the chamber and back before Hermoine eyes. The questioning eyes of Hermoine forced Harry to show her the key, and the indifferent look on her face showed she was really not happy.
Hermoine and Harry stood together , and took a breath as they both apparated to 4 , Privet Drive.
The look at morning 9 was same as Harry had remembered , early in his muggle days when he used to water the lawn. Uncle Dudley's car shone brightly as ever , though there were a few more marks here and there. The ally looked same other than newly laid pathway on both sides. Harry looked over the place where Dementors attacked him and Dursely, his last memories of Dursely made his desire to visit him. He crossed over to the first window of the house , where he hid to listen the news. As he opened the gate , and went straight to knock the door. And as he about to knock it , there hung a big plate on the main door , on which it was written in bold letters :
" Harry Potter and Whizards PROHIBITED".
Harry still went ahead to knock the door, even though eyes of Hermoine told him not to. The intution of Harry once more was strong enough to deny it , and as he knocked the door.
Aunt Petunia appeared with a pleasant smile , which froze as soon as she saw Harry . The pale looking Aunt Petunia was paler than ever , her face squeezed as if out of some deep illness. " Who Are you and why are you here " she shouted , "dont bother us or come back ", as she slammed the door on Pooter's face .
