THE INVITATION
Harry was sitting on his bed, thinking about everything that had happened that year and imagining how things were going to end once he did all he was supposed to do. He thought in all the things that were bound to change, in all the people who had been with him throughout his life and in all those who were going to remain by his side now that Dumbledore had died and things were getting nastier.
He could not believe that this year he was no longer returning to Hogwarts and that this year it would not be Dumbledore the one addressing the students on their first day in the Great Hall. He felt very sorry for those who would get to know Hogwarts without Dumbledore. To him Hogwarts was no longer Hogwarts, the place he had considered his home more than any other place. But now, with Dumbledore gone, it was not Hogwarts the school he would be going to in September, but just one more school, like any other.
But he was not returning. Not this year. He didn't care that he would not be passing his NEWT's or that he wouldn't be finishing school like his friends. All he cared for at that moment was finding all the other horcruxes and hunting down Voldemort before anybody else did. And if, during his journey, he came across Severus Snape… He would certainly be very happy of saying some things to his potions teacher.
He looked around the room, wondering why things had to be this way. At that moment Hedwig came flying in through the window. She flew over to her cage and rested there, looking at him, After a few seconds Harry realised that she had something attached to her leg and suddenly he remembered he had written a letter to Ron the day before. Therefore this must be his answer. When he went over to Hedwig to get the letter he realised that the envelope was rather big, but sometimes Ron had very strange ideas o maybe it was just a normal answer to a normal letter. He took the envelope and sat down again on his bed. He opened the envelope and his mouth fell open.
