Like the door was the sun, the white light radiated through it, like it was the entrance to heaven. Cautiously, Harry approached the door, debating whether to try the handle or not. He does turning it once then pulling it open. Harry was right, it was heavenly, the colour, but he wasn't greeted by the best sight.

Then he woke up. Harry had that dream every night for the past week.The sight he saw was the thing he didn't remember, everything else was so vivid, but the part he longed for knowing he didn't.

It was December 26th and that meant today all the kids would return to Hogwarts. However, Harry was beckoned into the dining room- Severus Snape sat on a chair awaiting him. "Afternoon Mr Potter." He said in his cold voice.
"Afternoon sir. If you don't mind me asking, why am I here?" When Harry asked Sirius walked in and Snape ignored.
"Dumbledore thinks it's in your best interest to learn occlumency." Snape explained, "He wants me to teach you." Sirius spat out his water and it spread over the counter tops.

"You are not using occlumency on my God child Snivilus!" He shouted at Snape who remained calm.
"I'm sorry but, what is occlumency?" Harry questioned slightly defusing the tension.
"It means that he will look at your memories and you need to block him!" Sirius yelled in Snape's direction.
"It is so The Dark Lord cannot look into your mind." Snape stated.
Harry thought for a moment before replying, "Sirius, it's alright. I need to learn this."
"Oh there's no doubt you need to Harry! Just not by this slimy serpent!" He retaliated.

"Have you got a problem with me, Siruis?" Snape spat out.
Padfoot's face was red in rage, "Oh you full well know what my problem is!" They both pulled out wands then Remus Lupin walked in. Remus is the Marauder that Snape hates the least.

Now it was an hour till the train left and everyone was saying their goodbyes.
"I'm going to miss you Sirius." Harry mourned like he lost a close friend. Sirius wasn't holding up too good either. Remus didn't want Harry to go, however, he was remaining strong for his partner. "We're going to miss you too Cub." Sirius replied bringing Harry in a long hug, Remus joined shortly after.

The moment passed and they hugged Draco and even Pansy, they were taking a special liking to her. Harry moved to Mrs. Weasley and gave her a courteous smile that she copied but, she hugged Pansy. Everyone seems to like her- she's not too different from Hermione, Pansy's just more girly and less school-driven.

Soon enough, all the kids arrived at the platform twenty minutes before it was ready to take off then got a compartment. Ten minutes into the ride and a certain ginger walked to the compartment. "Hey Harry, c-could we erm... could we talk please?" Nervously, he asked Harry and the compartment fell quite.

Once outside the compartment, Harry stood awkwardly and Ron couldn't look him in the eyes. "Erm... well..." he scratched the back of his head, "I'm sorry, for everything Harry. I spoke with mum and the rest of the family and I realise how stupid I'm being! Just because you're going out with a guy does not mean you've changed." He spoke and Harry was ecstatic. He desperately wanted his best freind back, but to Harry, Draco was more important. He knew that was wrong to say, but he 'cannot tell lies'.
"It's ok Ron, do you want to join us?" Harry asked and Ron smiled widely instead of scowling at Harry.

Four days into the new term and no student has seen Dumbledore. Everyone was rushing outside to see the commotion when Harry caught Blaise Zabini walking too. "What's happening?" Harry questioned.
"It's Professor Trelawney." Was all he said before the crowd pushed them a part. In the centre of the courtyard, Professor Trelawney was surrounded by all her belongings quivering infront of Umbridge.
