Harry Potter and the Midnight Ball

Readers Note: You should read the 5th book first because my fanfic takes place after the incident with the Dementors in the beginning of the 5th book, where Harry is locked in his room after the Dursleys leave for the "perfect lawn award" thing.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything except for my original thoughts and their details.

Chapter one: Hedwig's Return

Harry lay on his bed, waiting for Hedwig to return from her mouse hunt. He was lonely and did not like the thought of not going to Hogwarts again. As he thought, a warm breeze came in through his open window. Along with the wind came Hedwig hooting very loudly, breaking Harry's concentration. Harry was so glad to see her that he did not notice the parcel tied to Hedwig's leg, until he came to greet her.

He slowly untied the parcel from Hedwig's leg. He sat on his bed and unfolded the piece of parchment. It said:

Dear Harry,

There is an important meeting to be held, and we think that you should be there. Sorry for being so vague, but you never know who may read your letter first. Anyway, meet me in your front yard with all your stuff at midnight.

Oh, and Hermione says 'Hi.'

See ya then.

Ron

P.S. Happy birthday Harry.

Harry put down the letter and opened the small package. It was a small sphere that was even smaller than a rememberall. As soon as Harry touched it, it filled with what looked like yellow smoke. Harry saw a piece of parchment in the package. It read:

This is a Midnight Ball. This tells you if there is danger nearby.

KEY:

Silver - no danger - cold

Yellow - have caution

Green - slight danger

Blue - great danger

Red – mortal peril - hot

Harry saw that the Midnight Ball said that he should "have caution". As far as he could tell, it was right.

So Harry waited for night to fall.

A/N: Please read and review. Oh, and btw, nobody likes flames.
