Chapter 1

Harry was lying on his broken bed in his the small second room at Number 4 Privet Drive recalling the events of the previous year with disappointment and happiness. He just got family and it was taken from him as fast as he got it. He has discovered that his godfather Sirius Black, or dogfather as he liked to be called, was falsely accused for something he never did and was sentenced to life in the worst place imaginable besides the Dursley residents, Azkaban. When he found out Sirius was wronged Harry felt happy that he may have a way to leave Number 4 but his DADA teacher forgot to take his potion the one day it mattered to him. The one who framed him who was thought dead, Peter Pettigrew, took that to his advantage and the coward escaped. He was angry that this happened but that's not what he is disappointed about, it's himself. He has treated the one person who was there for him always like the Dursleys treat him. His best friend Hermione Granger.

It started with the broom and how she told Professor McGonagall that it might be dangerous. She had a point and it was suspicious and he agreed but at the time he was not worried about that only that he had a broom for the next Quidditch match. He didn't care that it was a Firebolt only that it works well enough to play. When he found out what she did he was upset, not as up set as Ron but still upset, and not for it was taken from him but that she didn't tell him first 'cause if she did he would have handed it over himself. He let his emotions get the better of him and followed Ron like Pier Polkiss follows Dudley.

He was upset before the broom anyway and it had to do with the Hogsmeade trips. He doesn't know why he was fine with not being able to go but when it was time for the first trip he was having this feeling that was building up in his stomach and is circled around Hermione. He doesn't know why though, was it because they were leaving without him or was it that they were going together. Even after everything that had happened with the Time-Turner and saving Buckbeak and Sirius getting rid of a ton of stress the feeling would leave but it didn't.

While he laid there thinking about what happened he is also trying to figure out how to apologize to her. With that said he got up went to his bag which held is summer homework he needed to start soon and his prized possessions and other needs he didn't want the Dursleys to know about. He wrote a letter to Hermione and hoped she would forgive him. He didn't want to lose her friendship and he just did but tried anyway.

Dear Hermione

I hope your doing well. How's your summer? Are you going on another trip with your parents? Have you started your homework. Who am I kidding I bet you got done already. I miss Hogwarts already for that place is more my home then the Dursleys. I also miss you and Ron to but not as much.

I was thinking about what happened this year and I don't know if this beats the basilisk. I also want to say I'm sorry for how i treated you this year. As I know you well you are probably saying that 'i don't need to apologize' but I do. I've been thinking and I haven't treated right with the broom, you were only looking out for me, before we found out Sirius was innocent, and for not sticking up for you against Ron and much more that i can't think of. I know you probably don't want to be near me anymore but i hope you can forgive me for not being a better friend to you because you're my best friend, not Ron YOU. not just that you have this thing that makes me happy when you're in a room with me, you have this burning desire to help others which I admire greatly, and you have a smile that lights up the room from perspective that is but most importantly you see me as just Harry not the Boy-who-lived but me. You are the greatest person I know and a great friend to me I just wish I can be one to you. Well this may be good-bye.

Love

Harry

Harry rolled up the letter and tide it to Hedwig's out stretched leg, "Take this to Hermione and wait for a reply Okay." He opened the window and Hedwig flew to her destination. Deciding he had enough of sitting there and feeling sorry for himself he got up and went for a walk. As he left the house he started to walk and heading to the park. When he got there it was empty, which didn't bother him. So he walked over to the swing set to sit. As he was sitting there he notice it was to quiet and from his adventure that was not a good sign, so he waited but nothing happened until he started to hear some beeping and what sounded like clinking metal. He started to follow it ending up at the forest nearby the back exit of Little Whinging. As he followed his wand was at the ready, knowing he would get into trouble for using magic but that wasn't his concerned at the moment instead it was on sudden flashes of light. The area was deserted so he was the only one to see the light. With wand in hand he started moving towards the sounds.

When he got closer he could see a small light and movement but was hard to make out from where he was. As he got close he could see a person with a metal arm but what surprised him was the big machine in the back. It looked like he the man, as he could now tell, was trying to fix it but is having major difficulty doing so. The man then said in a loud whisper "I wish I was as good as Anakin is with machines," then held his head down in sadness. He then opened the hatch on the thing and what can be the guess was he is turning it on. It started to hum and then nothing, he did this several more times before it stopped completely. He then got out of it and kept saying 'I don't have much time' and 'must hurry'. He then stopped and sat down on the ground to what looks like clear his head Harry was about to leave when then suddenly,

"Who's there. Show yourself now," Harry stood there frozen from shock that he noticed him. "I said NOW!" he stepped out from the thick woods and into the clearing where the man was. "What are you doing here," the man said "Why were you spying on me?".

After a moment of silence to relieve the tension Harry was feeling he said "I was going for a walk to clear my head and heard the sound of clinking metal and some beeping noise. So I went to see what it was I then saw a flash of light and follow that too and ended up finding you sir. I didn't mean to watch you but I was just curious to what you were doing I got side tracked. I sorry sir." He then bow in respect for the older man who he could now see very clearly now. The man is black with two metal arms instead of one, he looks tired and weak plus he looks like he just went to hell being that pale but not as bad as Malfoy.

The man said "That's alright curiosity gets the better of us. I know what it's like to rush in without thinking. What's your name young one?"

"My name is Harry Potter, sir. May I ask who you are and where you came from."

"Of course young one. I come from the planet Coruscant and my name is Mace Windu.
