*Hi, yes I am back. On with the show! Year Two continues...

Dud,

Hogsmede is awesome! They have all these cool wizard shops, Zonkos is the best! I wish I could send you some of the stuff they have but Auntie would kill me! They have the most amazing sweet shop called Honeydukes! I sent you a box of stuff. The magical fat-free stuff is way better then the normal stuff! Go easy on the sugar quills and save me the chocolate frog cards! Most of my year collect them and trade them. Hermione loved the bookstore of course and Scrivenshaft's is way cool. I got this cool color changing ink there. We had lunch at The Three Broomsticks and Ron kept staring at the Madame Rosmerta's boobies! I thought Hermione would smack him!

The Goblins and Ministry Wizards got done with the Basilisk pretty quick, turns out they really don't like roosters! The thing was really old and powerful! We, us student's I mean, got to watch them levitate it out of the school. It was bloody HUGE and it had more teeth then a T Rex! I would hate to fight that thing. If you hadn't worked it out Dud! It could have eaten any one of the teacher's whole! Even Hagrid!

They still won't say who was controlling the Basilisk, but Ron's little sister Ginny got taken home this morning. Ron and his brothers are really worried about her. Their Mum said she was sick but wouldn't tell them what was wrong. She did look all pale before they took her home.

Hermione talked Ron into taking Scabber's to Professor McGonagal in the morning to get him checked out. She's not saying much but she got Ron to put him in his cage and I swear I saw her cast an unbreakable charm on it.

Don't eat too many sweets and say Hi to Lizzy Cobman from me

One, Your Welcome. Two, thanks for the candy, those sugar quills are the best! And yes I kept your cards, Nerd. And three. You are such a jerk! It was ONE kiss. I still don't know who told you!

Dud.

You should be a detective or something man! Turns out Scabbers wasn't just a rat.. or well, he is.. lemme start over. We took him to see McG and she did a spell that showed that he wasn't a real rat but a Wizard! Ron looked like he was gonna puke! McG got Professor Dumbledore and Snape right away. Dumbledore did a spell that made him change back into a person, (it looked like it hurt too!) Turns out Scabbers was really a wizard named Peter Pettigrew And he is supposed to be dead, killed, along with 13 innocent muggles when he confronted that maniac Sirius Black in the middle of some street! Sirius Black is the one everyone said betrayed my Mum and Dad to Moldyshorts. So because he was pretending to be a kid's pet the Professors got all suspicious and worried and Snape made him drink this clear liquid that makes you tell the truth. They forgot we were sitting there I think. Dud. Sirius Black is my Godfather and he didn't betray my parents. Pettigrew did. He was .. proud. He boasted that the Dark Lord had promised him great rewards for giving him MY location. He wasn't after my Mum and dad Dud, he was after Me. He still is. Dumbledore and Hagrid both say he isn't dead. I wanted to hurt him.. that Rat.. so bad but Ron and Hermione wouldn't let me move. He tricked my parent's and Sirius into making him their Secret Keeper and ran straight to his master! He framed Sirius Black and faked his own death, the coward. It was him who blew up a gas line and killed all those poor people. Dumbledore dragged Pettigrew off to the Ministry. He's gonna be busy sorting this mess out! The Rat gloated about how Sirius never got a trial, just got tossed into Azkaban! That's the Wizard's prison. Ron told me about it. It's on a island in the middle of the sea and is guarded by these really evil creatures called Dementors. He said his Dad had to go out there once for work and wasn't right for a week afterwards. I hope they feed the Rat to the Dementors. Because of him I don't have a Mum and Dad, and he got my Godfather locked up. Plus it is really creepy that he's been pretending to be a kids pet. Ron reckons he better hope he gets sent to Azkaban before his Mum finds out. Gotta go, Hermione's Homework Obsession is reaching critical mass! And so is her hair.. don't you dare tell her I said that.

Harry

Harry

HOLY SHIT AND FLAMING COW BELLS! When I said your a trouble magnet I was kidding! You don't have to go proving it! The whole story sounds like something out of a kids adventure book! But you are right.. mega creepy he was pretending to be the kids pet. You don't think he had anything to do with their little sister do you? Did you find out what was wrong with her yet? I reckon he'd better hope for that Azkaban place. If he did hurt Ginny, well, most big brothers hurt people who hurt their little sister. And she has SIX big brothers. So.. in the future.. don't date Ginny dude.

Dud

Dudley

Oh Ha Haha.. your funny. Ginny looks like my Mum, or what my own little sister might have looked like. That is just creepy. Plus she is a bit of a Boy Who Lived groupie. I'm not into that. Ron's Mum sent an Owl this morning. Ginny is getting better. Their not saying much. Just that it a cursed Diary had been slipped to Ginny. It did quite a bit of damage but they caught it before it could really hurt her. It's back to business as usual here. Lessons and homework and Quidditch. Nothing about Pettigrew in the papers yet.

Harry

-*-He's Black.. erm Back!-*-

The sound of a powerful motorcycle making it's way down Privet Drive was something that drew attention. A few of the neighbors sniffed disapprovingly when it pulled up at Number 4. Of course it would be for the Dursleys. Number 4 was not the perfect cardboard cut out like it's neighbors. It was very clean, but clearly lived in. They owned the bulkiest vehicle on the street and their garden was well kept but understated and basic, bereft of garden gnomes or statues. The man who dismounted the bike and shook long dark hair from beneath his helmet had more then a few of the housewives 'bad-boy YUM' radars going off. Petunia Dursley came out to great her guest and saw the twitching curtains. She smirked and hurried to hug her visitor. "Sirius! Your looking better. They finally let you out of the hospital then?"

Sirius Black gently hugged the woman who'd raised his Godson.

"They did Tuney."

"Do not call me that Sirius." Petunia could tolerate a lot from the lovable reprobate that was Sirius Black, having gotten to know him through letter whilst he convalesced from being locked in Azkaban for nearly ten years, but not him using that name. That had always been Lily's pet name for her. It belonged to her sister alone. To soften her words she led him inside for tea and biscuits and so they could talk about their mutual favorite topic, Harry and Dudley. Sirius was a big kid himself and loved to hear all about whatever mischief the boys had found. Petunia had no problem at all regaling him with tales of the two growing up. Harry and Dudley would probably have been mortified!

"Rita will be here shorty. Are you sure your up to an interview?" Petunia asked. Sirius Black grinned at her

"Oh yeah. Time to shake up a few Pure Bloods. How the hell did you get Rita on your side? To everyone else she's vicious!"

Petunia smirked. "A lady has to have her secrets Sirius. Now play nice and behave yourself!"

HAHA.. He's a Black.. and he's Back again..

look out Snivellous.. Year Three ain't looking like it's your year!
