Quote from the book: "Unbidden, the image of the beast in the shadows of Magnolia Crescent crossed his mind. What to do when you know the worst is coming"

I choose this quote because it has many meanings to it. It is very mysterious, frightening and it’s foreshadowing. It tells you that trouble is waiting for Harry Potter at the Hogwarts School. He will not go through this year in piece. Will he encounter Lord Voldemort again, or some other new protagonists? Oh and also what beast is he talking about? He will have to fight a beast, a werewolf, and a vicious one of those. Harry is afraid to go back to Hogwarts however he knows that as long he is with Albus Dumbledore he is safe or he only thinks so.  

 

What happened until now: Summer for Harry was coming to an end. Unlike us who want more, well Harry wanted less. He couldn't wait to get out of the Dusleys house, which he liked to call it a mad house. One night he was lying down on his bed as 3 owl carrying one box each approaches him. One is a letter and a birthday present from Ron Weasley, and the other from Hermione Granger. The last one was from professor Mc.Gonagall. It was a reminder about the beginning of school, as well as a permission slip to visit the village Hogsmeade on certain weekend. Harry was certain that the Dusleys would never sign that paper.  The next day he was expecting Aunt Marge and her stupid and obnoxious dog. When she arrives, harry is supposed to stick to a story which states that he attends St. Brutus's Secure Center for Incurably Criminal Boys. Harry accepted to stick with the story and keep a civil tongue only if Mr. Dusley signs his permission slip. When Aunt Megan arrives she starts pointing out bad things about Harrys father and mother, of course harry blows up, so does she, literally. Her fingers arms and legs start to swell, also face and well the rest. She flew out the door, and into the sky. Watching Mr. Dusley holding on to her looked like a little boy holding tightly to its balloon. At the end of that disaster, Mr.Dusley agrees not to sign his slip, and so Harry leaves the house without a print. As he is sitting on the cold sidewalk he hears and seas things. He sees two great big yellow eyes staring at him behind the bushes just when it was ready to attack a wizard bus arrives bringing him to the leaky cauldron (A cafe). Harry meets Hermione and Ron there. While he is there he over hears Mr.Weasly gives Harry a warning. Serious Black escaped from Azkaban, and he should not be looking for trouble when it is easy to find it.

When the 3 best friends get on the train they are not alone, another man is in the same cabin as them, but looks as if he is sleeping. Their train ride stops in the middle of the ride. Everything turnes cold, dark and misty. The lights turn of and some kind of black weird shape goes into Harry's cabin. Its face was completely hidden under the black cloak it was wearing. Harry's eyes dashed down and what he saw made his stomach go up. There was a hand appearing from the cloak and it was shiny, black, and thin. As if something dead decaying for years. Harry would see it for only a short second. Then the "thing" under the hood let out a slow, sad, and shocking breath, as though it was sucking out every bit of life and happiness left from its environment. A strong cold swept over them. Harry could feel the thing sucking everything out of him. Harrys eyes rolled to the back of his head. There was a loud voice bursting through his ears. He was being put on the floor, the voice growing louder and louder, killing his ears. There was a weird vibe, as if they would never be cheerful again. Professor Lupin, the mysterious sleeping man, stood up, pointed his want at it and a flash of bright light got rid of the Dementor. 

The first day they went off to breakfast. Ron realized on Hermiones schedule that she had 3 classes all at the same time, Ron was suspicious, but looked at it as her problem. Harry, Ron, and Hermione went off to their first classes. They had Divinations with Professor Sybill Trelawney. Again Hermione seemed as if she appeared in the class, one minute she wasn't there and the other she was. When Ron asked her How she got there, she just said she has been there the whole time. During that class they were looking at their future in cups, looking at shapes formed in the cup to figure out there future. Everyone had normal predictions, until Harrys turn came, he had the Grim. "The giant, spectral dog that hunts churchyards! My dear boy, it is an omen - the worst omen - of death!" said the professor. It is said that if you see the Grim you die of fright.

Their next class was with Hagrid. It was their Care of Magical Creatures class. For their first class they went in the forbidden forest to meet one of Hagrids creatures. It was a Hippogriff called Buckbeak. Harry was the first one to ride it. It felt like they had an instant connection, and instant friendship was formed. When Drako starts getting jealous of all the attention Harry is getting, he goes for the hippogriff, and it kicks him in the arm.
