<font color="Black">“Harry, as you know the new term is starting tomorrow. Due to the curse myself, Madame Pomfrey and Sirius have been concerned about your return. You see Mrs Weasley has been watching your recovery and has been keeping me and Madame Pomfrey here updated, and although you have improved there is some question whether you are well enough for the return journey,” said Dumbledore </font>

<font color="Black">“Calm yourself dear boy,” said Dumbledore “Look Harry you are still not one hundred percent. You have managed to overcome the seriousness of the curse but have not yet had a recurrence, which could still come.

<font color="Black">“Harry what I am trying to say is we do not think you are well enough for the return journey. But you see Madame Pomfrey would prefer it if she was near by in case you had a recurrence, and her being at Hogwarts would be awkward as she can't really leave due to others needing her at school,” said Dumbledore “So we have come to a decision to let you decide. You don't have to decide now, see how you feel in the morning,” </font>

When Harry entered the room they all beamed at him. Harry sat down next to Hermione. </font>

<font color="Black">They all enjoyed a feast that night prepared by Mrs Weasley. Everyone stuffed themselves full to bursting, everyone apart from Harry. Harry had barely eaten anything as he had lost his appetite. Harry sat as far away from Mrs Weasley and Sirius so they would not pickup on this. After the meal they all sat around the fire toasting marsh mellows. Harry did not stay for long though as he became so tired that he started to fall asleep in the chair. He eventually decided to retire to bed. After reassuring Mrs Weasley that he was just tired and saying goodnight to everyone, Harry began to ascend the stairs to his bed. When he walked in he lay on the bed and fell fast to sleep fully clothed. </font>

<font color="Black">Harry did not sleep very well that night. His dreams were troubled with the thoughts of Hedwig's absence. When Harry woke, after a particularly nasty dream, he found it was the early hours of the morning as it was still very dark outside. Sirius was lying on a camp bed beside Harry's bed, snoring loudly. Harry sat up and rubbed his eyes. He got out of bed and crept across the room trying not to wake up Sirius. He opened the door and walked down stairs into the kitchen. He sat in an armchair near the glowing fire. Crookshanks jumped up onto Harry's lap and curled up. Harry looked into the fire and after a while his eyelids began to droop and he was soon, once again, fast to sleep. </font>

<font color="Black">As Harry was bending down to look under the bed he chest seared with pain. Harry sat down, leaning against the bed, clasping his chest and groaning in pain. Harry closed his eyes wincing and took in deep breathes of air. Once the pain had subsided Harry stood up and sat on his bed. Was this what Dumbledore had meant by a recurrence. Harry rubbed his chest. The pain had subsided but not completely disappeared. Harry picked up Hedwig's empty cage and dragged his trunk out of the room. He descended the stairs to find Hermione and Ginny waiting near the bottom. They too had brought down their trunks. After Mrs Weasley had thundered up the stairs to chivvy the twins and Ron along, they were all soon walking out to the hired Ministry Cars the Mr Weasley had brought back to the burrow with him the previous night. </font>

<font color="Black">They were soon on the road Mrs Weasley driving one and Mr Weasley driving the other. Harry and the others said their goodbyes to Sirius and begun their drive to the Hogwarts express. After they had withstood the journey to King's Cross-, they were soon unloading the car. Ron and Hermione removed their trunks from the car and Harry followed. As he lifted out his trunk out of the car pain shot through his chest causing him to drop his trunk on his foot. Harry yelped in pain, not just from his throbbing toe but also the pain across his chest. But not willing to let anyone know about his chest he just told them about his toe. </font>

<font color="Black">Once Harry and finally loaded his trunk onto a trolley they all headed into the station and through the barrier to platform 9.

<font color="Black">Harry closed his eyes and went to sleep. He was walking into a small house that was in complete darkness. Harry sensed that this house was not a house you would normally approach, but yet something seamed to be drawing him towards it. Harry walked up the gravely path to the black oak door. He opened it and stepped inside. He was in a very dimly lit hall way. The blood red walls were illuminated by the candles attached to them. Harry walked along the hall way and opened a door at the end of it. He stepped in to find a fire glowing. The room was deadly silent. All that could be heard was the sound of the crackling flames and the deep breathing of a human. The human was not Harry. Harry edged back towards the door he had just come through. He did not like the feel of this room. A black hooded and cloaked figure emerged from the darkness. Harry gasped. There were two gleaming red eyes staring straight at Harry from inside the hood of the cloak. </font>

<font color="Black">The cloaked figure pulled out his wand and pointed it at the floor. He began to move his wand in a circle. Slowly a purple ball of flames began to form. After it had reached the size of a medium sized football, the cloaked figure placed his wand back inside his cloak. The ball of flames stayed hovering in the air. The man, well Harry supposed it had to be a man from the sound of his voice, picked up the burning ball of flame. It did not seam to be causing the man any pain. Harry backed towards the door but the man was too fast. He threw the purple ball of flames at Harry. The flames hit him in the chest where his purple scar was. The pain in Harry's chest began to burn. Harry opened his eyes to the sound of his name being called and cold drip dripping of his face, </font>

<font color="Black">“Harry, as you know the new term is starting tomorrow. Due to the curse myself, Madame Pomfrey and Sirius have been concerned about your return.

<font color="Black">“Harry what I am trying to say is we do not think you are well enough for the return journey. But you see Madame Pomfrey would prefer it if she was near by in case you had a recurrence, and her being at Hogwarts would be awkward as she can't really leave due to others needing her at school,” said Dumbledore “So we have come to a decision to let you decide. You don't have to decide now, see how you feel in the morning,” </font>

<font color="Black">They all enjoyed a feast that night prepared by Mrs Weasley. Everyone stuffed themselves full to bursting, everyone apart from Harry. Harry had barely eaten anything as he had lost his appetite. Harry sat as far away from Mrs Weasley and Sirius so they would not pickup on this. After the meal they all sat around the fire toasting marsh mellows. Harry did not stay for long though as he became so tired that he started to fall asleep in the chair. He eventually decided to retire to bed. After reassuring Mrs Weasley that he was just tired and saying goodnight to everyone, Harry began to ascend the stairs to his bed. When he walked in he lay on the bed and fell fast to sleep fully clothed. </font>

<font color="Black">Harry did not sleep very well that night. His dreams were troubled with the thoughts of Hedwig's absence. When Harry woke, after a particularly nasty dream, he found it was the early hours of the morning as it was still very dark outside. Sirius was lying on a camp bed beside Harry's bed, snoring loudly. Harry sat up and rubbed his eyes. He got out of bed and crept across the room trying not to wake up Sirius. He opened the door and walked down stairs into the kitchen. He sat in an armchair near the glowing fire. Crookshanks jumped up onto Harry's lap and curled up. Harry looked into the fire and after a while his eyelids began to droop and he was soon, once again, fast to sleep. </font>

Harry closed his eyes wincing and took in deep breathes of air. Once the pain had subsided Harry stood up and sat on his bed. Was this what Dumbledore had meant by a recurrence. Harry rubbed his chest. The pain had subsided but not completely disappeared. Harry picked up Hedwig's empty cage and dragged his trunk out of the room. He descended the stairs to find Hermione and Ginny waiting near the bottom. They too had brought down their trunks. After Mrs Weasley had thundered up the stairs to chivvy the twins and Ron along, they were all soon walking out to the hired Ministry Cars the Mr Weasley had brought back to the burrow with him the previous night. </font>

Harry yelped in pain, not just from his throbbing toe but also the pain across his chest. But not willing to let anyone know about his chest he just told them about his toe. </font>

<font color="Black">Harry closed his eyes and went to sleep. He was walking into a small house that was in complete darkness. Harry sensed that this house was not a house you would normally approach, but yet something seamed to be drawing him towards it. Harry walked up the gravely path to the black oak door. He opened it and stepped inside. He was in a very dimly lit hall way. The blood red walls were illuminated by the candles attached to them. Harry walked along the hall way and opened a door at the end of it. He stepped in to find a fire glowing. The room was deadly silent. All that could be heard was the sound of the crackling flames and the deep breathing of a human. The human was not Harry. Harry edged back towards the door he had just come through. He did not like the feel of this room. A black hooded and cloaked figure emerged from the darkness. Harry gasped. There were two gleaming red eyes staring straight at Harry from inside the hood of the cloak. </font>

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.097222mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
<font color="Black">“Harry, I am glad to see you,” said the cloaked figure in a high cold pitched voice “You have had a near fatal escape on your journey to the burrow, I heard. I wanted to congratulate you. You always seem to slip through my fi9ngers and quite frankly I am tired of it. So Harry I have decided to make your recovery a lot slower that it already is,” </font>

<font color="Black">The cloaked figure pulled out his wand and pointed it at the floor. He began to move his wand in a circle. Slowly a purple ball of flames began to form. After it had reached the size of a medium sized football, the cloaked figure placed his wand back inside his cloak. The ball of flames stayed hovering in the air. The man, well Harry supposed it had to be a man from the sound of his voice, picked up the burning ball of flame. It did not seam to be causing the man any pain. Harry backed towards the door but the man was too fast. He threw the purple ball of flames at Harry. The flames hit him in the chest where his purple scar was. The pain in Harry's chest began to burn. Harry opened his eyes to the sound of his name being called and cold drip dripping of his face, </font>
