EDIT – ok I decided to rewrite some stuff, and review so I can start writing this again. I am sorry to all those who have been reading and enjoying this story. I have been having a hard 6 months, but next week is my last week of school, and then I'm off for summer (though I will probably be in summer school) anyway I'll hopefully be writing again. I've been really slack on this and again I'm sorry but shit happens. Well anyway. So you may want to reread this for little changes. The biggest one is in chapter 7 I believe but other than that not much different. Enjoy all those just joining this story. -Hi all, hope you're ready for some interesting Harry Potter. Well let me tell you now, I'm weird, my friends are weird, and if you're not weird you may have problems at times understanding this story. If so, please tell me and I'll try and clarify. Now down to business.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own anything that is JKR's, lovely wonderful writer as she is, I am definitely not her, so please don't sue me for anything that is obviously not mine... Now if you see something that belongs to one of my friends I will probably tell you in advance.

-If there is something I forgot please inform me with a, that's right, REVIEW...
-Also on a review notice, I don't care if you send me flames. Personally I find them hilarious; and I won't waste a second to share them with my friends who are also on Fan Fiction and Fiction Press. So do what you will. I did not tell you to read this fic.
Chapter 1: Letters and a DreamThe sound of paws rhythmically padding through leaves resounded around him as he started running in the same direction. All four paws rhythmically hitting the gum leaves as he ran with a speed unknown to humans. Soon he caught up with a gorgeous auburn fox running through the trees. The fox stopped at a small river. He watched as it took some water and then turned and looked at him. He slowly cantered towards the edge. The fox looked unperturbed and just sat there watching him. When he got there he saw the full moon's light reflecting off the surface. He leant over the water to take a much-needed drink when he saw his reflection.
He jumped in surprise and nearly fell in the water had the fox not pushed his left side into a balanced position again. He looked at the fox and nodded his thanks, and then went slowly back to the water. The reflection was definitely not what he was expecting; looking back at him through bright green eyes was a black wolf. Pitch black fur, looking slightly ruffled. He didn't see his scar and was grateful. He turned back to the fox that looked stunningly beautiful. Its fur wasn't just auburn, but had brown and gold too. The fox lifted its eyes and he began to drown in golden brown eyes, the pupil was outlined gracefully in a gray line giving them a pooling affect.
He opened his mouth to talk, forgetting he was a wolf, when he noticed a snake slithering up the fox's body to its neck and a hawk standing silently next to it. But these weren't ordinary animals, the hawk was slightly larger than a normal bird and was burgundy with black feathers. The snake had black scales with blood red outlining them, it was about 8 ft long. Suddenly, the snake began to hiss and he heard "He's coming for you Harry. Get prepared."
Harry woke up gasping for breath. His scar twinging with pain after the sudden intensity. Harry sat up and looked at the clock, it read 5 AM. He sighed, got up and quickly wrote down what he had just seen on a piece of parchment. He decided not to send it to Dumbledore, because it really had nothing to do with Voldemort. 'Probably just a dream induced by a feeling Voldemort is having or something,' Harry thought irritably. 'Who would have thought Voldemort would have any romantic feelings in him.'
He looked around his room and saw a pile of packages on his desk and realized he was now 15. He looked at the letter on top. The green ink indicated it was his school letter. 'Odd it seems thicker,' Harry thought quizzically as he placed it aside. The next one had Ron's chicken scratch telling him whom had sent it. He opened the letter and carefully read guessing every so often.
Hey Mate, hope you like this. I saw it and it just screamed your name. Maybe we'll see you soon. Mum's been talking to Dumbledore and I think he is finally starting to give in. Well talk to you later Mate. Hopefully it will be in person.
Ron
Oh Fred and George added something but they wouldn't tell me what.
Harry put the letter aside and tore into the package. It was a book, Get to Know Your Animagus. There was also a small bag with WWW written all over it. Harry picked it up and opened it hoping it wouldn't explode. Instead he found some of the jokes WWW had already come out with and a letter. He picked up the letter. It read:
Hello Harry
Hope you enjoy these, and don't worry there will be plenty more where these came from.
Your business partners,
Fred and George WeasleyWWW
Harry decided to save the pranks for later. 'Never know when a joke will be needed,' Harry thought happily as he picked up Ron's gift again and took a look at the table of contents. It was about what you have to do if you're an animagus. He put it with the letter thinking he would read it later. The next letter had Sirius's scrawl on it. Harry tore into it and read quickly, since he hadn't heard from him for a while.
Hey Harry sorry this is so short, but you'll be hearing from me really soon so don't worry. Don't open the package until midnight tomorrow. You'll see when you open it. Enjoy and don't worry the rest will come later. Anyway I'll talk to you later.
Sirius
Confused Harry put the gift aside. The next letter had Hermione's neat cursive. He opened the letter and read through all the updates in her life. 'Went to visit some relatives. Had a great time seeing cousins. Can't wait to be back. Hopefully see you at Ron's. Visiting him for August after returning home.'
Hopefully you'll enjoy this. Maybe get your mind off the awful Dursley's. Tell me if you like it.
Hermione
PS Maybe you'll learn it now, and stop bugging me about it all the time.
Harry ripped open the paper to find... Hogwarts: A History. Harry nearly laughed out loud. It was such a 'Mionish gift. He put it with Ron's gift thinking he'd read it once to satisfy Hermione. The last package was obviously Hagrid's with barely a glance he broke the seal of the letter hoping for an update on his mission with the giants.
(Think Hagrid's accent)
Hello Harry
Hope your summer's going well. Dursley's treating you good? Me and Maxime are having a great time in France right now. But I'll tell you about that when we're back at school. Hope it tasted good Maxine made it. See you later Harry.
Hagrid
Harry opened the box to find homemade fudge. It looked and smelled edible (for once). He took a piece and decided to open his school letter and then go to breakfast. The fudge was almost as good as Mrs. Weasley's. The first page was the normal Booklist, there was only one new book; The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 5. But the next page was different. 'This must have been the extra thickness,' Harry thought as he started to plow through the letter.
Dear Mr. Potter,
I hope your summer has been tolerable. (at this Harry snorted) Mrs. Weasley has been asking if you could go to visit them. At this moment I am still contemplating the idea, but it may happen so keep your hopes up. During this school year I have deemed it necessary that you take Occlumacy, how to stop someone from 'reading your mind' if you would. Don't worry it will be better explained to you during the year. But because of these lessons you will be unable to participate in prefect duties. I am very sorry, but Occlumacy is very important. It may stop you from having any more Voldemort induced dreams. You will still be able to participate in Quiddich, but all three I believe is just too much to put on one student as well as studies. Particularly since O.W.L.'s are this year. So enjoy the rest of your summer. Be careful.

'Well that was a little odd,' Harry thought. 'I wonder who got the male prefect duties? I mean Hermione is the only one to get the female.' With these thoughts on mind, as well as who was going to teach him Occlumacy? How hard is it? Will anyone else be taking it with me? Harry got dressed and headed off to make breakfast for the Dursley's.
-Well that's chapter 1. Hope you like what I have so far. I'm nearly done with chapter 2, and if this one didn't make sense chapter 2 will explain most of it. Well that's what my friends said anyway. Talk to you soon.
