##### Memory 3 #####

Part 1 :

Harry's Memory flashed to the day they were going to the Scarlet Hogwarts train for the new year.

He met the Weasley family there. Ronald Weasley told him all about the trip they had in Egypt, while Hermione Granger told Harry all about her trip to France. He just wanted to be left alone by all these people they weren't his friends and they never had been.

And then there's still Ginevera Weasley as well, the little girl was really starting to get on his nerves with the way she was staring at him and following him around. She really was a creepy girl.

Then Arthur Weasley called Harry to speak to him privately to warn him that he, Harry, was in trouble. Because Sirius Black wanted to come after Harry and harm him. They firmly believed that he was after Harry and was a surporter of Voldemort.

Harry wanted to tell the man that he found Sirius Black familiar and that he didn't mean him any harm, but the red headed man would believe that Harry was going crazy and so he kept quiet.

Severus looked at all the people that was  around Harry and gave his famous sneer, most of this people were frauds and just wanted something from Harry.

The only people that wasn't after something was the twins, Percy Weasley and Arthur Weasley but the last one was a real dunderhead -  how could he tell Harry about Sirius, where everyone could hear him? When will all the fakeness end, he wondered.

Harry climbed onto the train -  still hiding his limp, while Weasley and Granger followed him. Granger told Harry to come into this compartment because all the rest were full of people. Harry gave a heavy sigh and just followed what Granger told him to do.

Harry was tired, because he couldn't sleep much with how much in pain he was. And his legs still hurt, it didn't mean because he glamoured it so that everyone else couldn't see it - he couldn't feel the pain.

But the compartment already had someone in it - a man that looked as if he was asleep and Ronald Weasley just had to ask who the man was.

Hermione Granger answered him with an irritated sigh that the man was Remus J Lupin.

While they were arguing and he was ignoring them, he took a look at this new man and felt that he was like Sirius Black familiar to him, but he now knew that Sirius was his godfather and he was sure that Sirius hadn't betrayed them to Voldemort, he still couldn't place where he knew this man from.

Suddenly the train stopped, they all knew that They weren't at Hogwarts yet but then wondered why they would have stopped then?

Harry stayed quiet as Ronald looked out of the window and suddenly screamed that he something out there.

The lights began flickering and that's how Harry knew something had gone wrong once again just like every other year, that's just how his life was.

The windows began freezing and so did the man's drink and it was very cold, you could see their breaths.

And then the lights stopped flickering and went out, it didn't come on again.

All three of them were afraid, Harry would be the first to admit that he had never seen or been afraid like that day on the Train, as they see a shodowy, creepy, black figure slowly creeping up to their door to their compartment.

Severus could see how frightened Harry was, it was really a shame that he couldn't show himself to the people around him because they were not true friends or even tried to see who he really was.

A boney hand opened the door and in came the thing, it was large and had on what looked like a tattered black cloak that covered its face.

Ronald's rat hid in his clothes and Hermione's cat hissed at it with puffed up hair.

It looked like the thing or the Creature was trying to suck out Harry's life and none of the three children knew what to do.

Harry saw memories that he didn't even know that he had. All he could hear was a terrified scream of a woman, he didn't see how she looked nor did he know who she was.

Then the man suddenly opened his eyes and and cast a spell with out saying one word. The spell that was uttered made a very bright light and the next thing Harry remembered was waking up on the floor.

He wondered what he was doing down there on the floor and why Hermione Granger was shaking him?

Severus couldn't hold his anger in, his Slytherin mask cracking and his true feelings showing.

How could that daft Headmaster allow such creatures on a train full of children that didn't know how to protect themselves!!

Even if Lupin was there, how would he keep all the Dementors away from the children or was he just there to Protect Harry?

The questions just seemed to keep multiplying with out answers.

The man Remus offered him some chocolate and told him it would him, before explaining that what had attacked Harry was called a Dementor and that it was looking for Sirius Black.

Before he exscused himself to go speak to the Conductor of the train.

Harry just out of curiosity asked if the other two had heared something when the Dementor attacked him, their answer baffling to him when they told him that they didn't hear anything.

Severus was very surprised when his godson Draco Malfoy came by and asked Harry if he could speak to him.

He just wanted to ask if Harry was okay and if he needed something just to ask him and he will try to get it for him.

With a thank you and a very mini smile to Draco he was about to get back to his compartment when the twins called his name.

The Twins like Draco just wanted to know if Harry was okay and they got the same smile as Draco.

He once again turned around and walked back into his compartment.
