Harry fell asleep on the train ride back to London. He didn't sleep much the night before. Instead, he stayed up to relay his year to his father. Harry wasn't quite sure why he waited so long; just that he did.

James Potters memory was not as protective or fatherly as Harry had always imagined his father to be. Of course this memory was trapped at the very latest twenty-one years old. He was barely out of childhood when he lost his life. The living Sirius and Remus were much more protective; because they of course they had had years of life behind them now. Of course Mr Prongs did try to be parental about his son being in the Tri-wizard tournament; His son could have died. However, when he was informed of Harry kissing a girl for the first time he turned into some kind of frat boy. It was quite an awkward conversation for Harry.

About half an hour into the journey Harry was woken by a sharp pricking at his ear.

"Oww." Harry pulled Hermione's rat from his earlobe. "Urrr. 'Mione…."

"Emerald. No bad girl." Hermione scolded the rat gently and petted it as she was taking it from Harrys ear.

"Hermione, it's a rat, not a dog." Ron rolled his eyes at the girl.

"You give your toad belly rubs."

"So does Neville."

The boy in question looked up from the window. "What about Neville?"

Harry rubbed his face as Hermione explained. "We were talking about toads."

"Oh right. So, are you awake now, Harry?"

"Did you not hear Hermione's rat trying to devour me?"

"Not exactly, no."

Ron laughed at the look on Neville's face before coughing to get everyone's attention. "Right now, everyone in conscious. I have an announcement. Hermione, please Lock the door."

"Umm, alright?" Instead of getting up to lock the door she just waved her wand. "I don't know why I even have this." Hermione muttered to her secondary wand.

"Thank you Hermione. Now the twins can't get in." Ron reached into his pocket and brought out a wand.

Draco looked at the wand. "What are we supposed to be looking at?"

"Unicorn Hair, Ebony. Just over Eleven and a half inches. Made her myself."

"You didn't." Draco shook his head; awe in his voice.

"I did, notes from Harry's library."

Hermione looked really closely at the wand. "That's amazing Ron. Can I?"

Ron handed it to Hermione who examined it intently. "Thanks."

"It's beautiful. Neville have a look." Hermione told the boy closest to her.

Neville took the wand. It fit nicely into his palm. "It looks really different to an Olivander wand." Neville noted. "It's as straight as an arrow."

"Do you like her?"

"Yeah, it looks great."

Ron took a deep breath. "She's yours if you want her."

"Ron, Gran got me one for passing first year." He said proudly.

"Can you just try? I don't want to give her away but I know this is the perfect wand for you."

Neville looked down at the wand before he waved it softly. The room was soon filled with warm golden sparks. "Wow."

"See…" Ron smiled.

When the Wand was in Nevilles hand Harry noticed a change. Ron had carved in a rune near the base. A rune that bound the wand to Neville.

"Are you sure I can keep… her?"

"As long as you look after her." Ron look sad but he knew this was the right thing to do.

"I can't believe you made a working wand."

"You doubt me, Farsight?"

"Yes." Draco smiled. "You did a great job though."

"Thanks."

"You can open the door now Kin." Ron smiled. "Please don't tell the twins about my little-"

"Hobby." Hermione offered.

"Yeah. They still haven't let my grades go."

Less than Half an hour later the Trolley Witch was followed in by Luna and Ginny. Luna was still carrying her Jar. The creatures turned invisible against the leaf she has placed inside; though it was becoming smaller as it was eaten.

"Hey guys." Ginny smiled.

"I see you found your shoes Luna." Ron commented.

"Oh yes they always show up. I found them at the bottom of my bed. Nargles always bring things back eventually."

Harry of course wouldn't mention his threats to the Ravenclaw girls. He didn't want to upset Luna.

Ron began pouting when Ginny informed everyone that Genevieve was busy flirting with a fifth year Ravenclaw. He had become quite smitten with the girl at the Yule ball and was sad that the girl only saw him as a friend. Despite Hermione insisting that she did have a crush on him at one point.

"Luna can't decide on what to name them." Ginny told the room as she looked into the jar. "I suggested Larry. You know after her and Harry. She doesn't like it."

"I need a species name Ginny." Luna told her. "I told you. We can name that one Larry if you really want." Luna peered down at her little creatures.

"What about a Huna (Pronounced Who-na)? That's still Harry and Luna." Ginny suggested again.

Hermione sniggered under her breath at the suggestion.

"What! What's wrong with that?"

"hakuna matata." Hermione whispered in tune.

"She's lost it." Ginny told them as she turned away from the older girl.

"You guys really need to get into muggle culture just a little." Hermione told them. She shook her head unpleased. "It's just from a muggle film."

"What film?" Harry asked.

"What is a film?" Draco asked.

"Harry, I'm ashamed of you! You of all people should know. The lion king."

"Oh, I heard of that."

"You should have seen it. It was great my dad took me."

"I haven't lived in the muggle world for ages now." Hermione just shook her head. "Sorry."

"You're all disappointments." Hermione mock scowled and began to hum the song.

Harry got off the train to find Sirius. A smile broke out on his face when he saw Remus standing there beside him. He hugged Hermione and placed a soft kiss on Luna's cheek before he ran to his uncles.

"Hey Harry." The two men hugged him as the boy he almost dived into Sirius; who nearly fell into Remus as a result.

"Hey guys."

"How was school?" Remus asked as Harry was passed to him for an awkward but warm one-armed hug. "You need to tell me everything."

"It was great- you know, apart from the whole nearly dying bit. Professor McGonagall told me off for taking my exams when I wasn't supposed to. I got straight O's."

"Well done Harry. I'm sure your mother would be very proud of that."

"Your dad would bang his head against the wall." Sirius added. "But your mother would be very proud indeed."

"You guys are proud of me though; right?"

Sirius put his arm around the boy's shoulder. "Of course we are, Pup." He shook his godson's shoulders. "Have you said goodbye to your friends?"

"Yeah." Harry turned to wave at anyone who would wave back. "Ok, I'm ready to go home."

Harry held Zana tightly, she was not fond of travel. As long as they weren't going by floo, she was going be fine with it. When he landed, he placed his cat on the ground.

His eyes raked over the house. It was four stories tall. The bottom two stories were the size and shape of two semi-detached muggle house houses. Normal and square. Then on top of the left of the house was a tower two stories high.

The brick was a bright burnt red colour. The windows were black and the front door was a wooden double door.

"So what do you think?" Sirius asked.

Harry didn't move his eyes from the strange house. "Where exactly are we?"

"Wales. North Wales. We're on a small piece of unpotable land. I out bid Lucius Malfoy for it."

"Nice." He smiled.

"Yeah Muggles don't know it exists. If you stand right on the top of that hill you can just about see the ocean."

"Wow. It's nice. The house. I like it. Really."

"That's your bedroom up there. I though you would like to share with your owl."

Harry looked up to his godfather. "Hedwig's here?"

"Probably. She's been bringing mice here for about two weeks. Your cat may be helpful with that." Sirius wasn't Zana's biggest fan. "Come on, have a look. Welcome Home, Pup!"
