Harry pov

"aw fur face that's so nice of you to visit! And to think I didn't even get you a present." I jumped on to the Eraser's back. I didn't know how they found me but I wasn't going to go down without a fight.

The Eraser snarled at me and threw me off its back. "oh you don't worry I already got you an all expense paid trip back home. That's all the present I need." I lunged at it but he stepped out of the way so I fell into the other room.

It jumped on top of me "hmm you know that offer is very tempting but you know I really am quite busy you know. And it must have been murder to get a plain all the way from America especially at this time of year!"

It smiled with its big teeth as I held it away from my face. "oh it was no trouble. Especially for the scientist's favorite experiment." I kicked up wards and pushed him into a wall.

I pretended mock surprise "me? Their favorite? I'm touched I mean I really am but out of every single child they've ever tortured they choose me? I'm flattered!" I said as I punched its lights out. he then threw me to the ground "well you are quit special. I mean pigeon's are very rare you should be honored you were chosen!"

I lunged at him and tackled him to the ground "winter phoenix!" I growled. Before I could react he racked its long claws down my chest. I was so high on adrenalin I didn't even feel it.

He got back on top of me "well this little reunion really has been quiet fun the School's waiting for ya." I cringed when he mentioned the School. He noticed "aw dose the little birdie not want to go home."

I scowled "hmm well as much as I do truly miss my old dog create, getting fed like a rat, oh and we can't forget the daily activities! I think I'll pass." I slid out of his way right before he punched me in the face.

"oh don't worry you won't be alone. We're going to make you tell us where your other little friends are."

I scowled even more "oh you did not just threaten my family'!" and with that I tackled him and while sitting on his back put him in a choke hold. "Alright fur face I'm gonna tell you how this is gonna play out. you're going to give our little friends at the school a message for alright?"

He scoffed but I could tell he was scared "oh yeah? And what is that?"

I held him even tighter "you tell them that I am never going back! And if you or one of your little friends tries to hurt me or anyone else that I love, I will personally come and find you!" and with that I realized him and kicked him ounce more for good measure. He started to get up "now go!" I yelled as it scampered threw the door.

I waited till I was sure it was gone then I limped into the sitting room and sat down in a chair. Everyone else had come in there to get away from the fight. Now they all just stared at me.

Sirius was about to say something but I just held up my hand "I know you are all confused but before I even possibly answer a single question I am going to go upstairs and make a phone call. When I come back downstairs I will tell you the bare minimum. Alright? Alright." And with that I started to go upstairs.

Mrs. Weasley stopped me "but Harry your hurt!"

Without even turning around I waved my hand "I'll take care of it." I called down.

When I went upstairs I immediately got out the cell phone Max had gotten me for Christmas. I dialed the number. I sat down on the bed and waited while the phone rang.

"hello?" Iggy answered.

I smiled "hey Ig can I talk to Max?"

"oh sure Harry just one sec... Hey Max Harry's on the phone for ya..."

"hello Harry?" max answered.

"Hey Max."

"how's it going over there?"

"mm not that good" and I proceed to tell her about the Eraser. I choked up when I tried to say 'Eraser' but I finally got it out.

"Harry do you want us to fly over there?" she asked.

I sighed "no I think I can hold down the fort over here I just wanted to tell you guys to keep your guard up."

"alright thanks Harry we will."

"all right well I'll call you again tomorrow. Have a good Christmas."

"You too." I then hung up.

I smirked to myself "you guys can come out from behind the door now."

I opened the door and there sat Ron, Hermione, Fred, and George were all listening in. I laughed and went downstairs. They soon followed.

~down in the sitting room~

The moment I came downstairs everyone exploded with questions. I calmly walked over to a chair and sat down. "ok all you need to know is that I was held somewhere over the summer, creatures like the one you saw were there, and I was tortured there." I then calmly walked back upstairs and went to bed. Everyone in the room was speechless.

~the next morning~

Like usual I woke up extremely early only unlike usual I wasn't alone. Ron and Hermione were sitting on the other bed watching me. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes "so why exactly are the two of you watching me sleep?" I asked rolling out of bed.

Ron shrugged. "we wanted to know why you always wake up so early."

I yawned and walked into the small bathroom to comb my hair. (Not that it would do any good) "Like I already told you force of habit."

Hermione scowled "no I don't think it is. At least not any more. You would have dropped that habit by now. So as Ron already asked why do you get up so early?"

I sighed "can't sleep."

"Why not?" Hermione asked.

"Nightmares." I answered simply. "why do you think I put a silencing charm on the curtains of my bed? It's because half the time I wake up screaming my lungs out."

Hermione and Ron just stood there cowardly. I smiled "well I'm gonna get dressed so I guess sense you two are already awake we can hand out presents."

Hermione got really excited "ooh I'll go get your presents!" then she ran out the room.

I walked into the bathroom and changed when I comeback Ron was looking at me funny. "what?" I asked.

He shrugged "nothing it's just your different Harry."

"How so?"

"well used to you always slept on your back, now you sleep on your side. Used to you had no problem changing your clothes in front of anyone, and now you always go in the bathroom?"

I was about to make up some lie but that's when Hermione came in carrying a pile of presents.

Ron and I completely forgot what we were talking about when we saw her. Ron's mouth dropped "gees Hermione are all these for the two of us?"

She smiled "no. these are yours I need to go back for Harry's."

When she left Ron and I just stared at each other in disbelief. When Hermione came back she had a pie twice as big as the first.

I could barley even say anything "Hermione you didn't have to do this."

She crossed her arms "yes I did Harry. One, you had a horable year last year, two the Dursleys never got you anything worth more than a toothpick, and three well you know with this summer and all."

I got up and gave her a big hug. It was a little awkward sense I was taller than her but that didn't matter. When I pulled away she blushed. "what was that for?"

I smiled "for always being there for me." she smiled and we all dug into our presents.

So far I had gotten Bertie Bott's Every-flavour beans, sugar quills, chocolate frogs, and a new wizard chess set. Ron was playing with the deck of muggle cards I had gotten him and Hermione was opining a small package from me.
