Chapter 1 : The Worries About Harry Potter
Albus Dumbledore was sitting in his office, looking very worried. The subject of his thoughts was Harry Potter.
Dumbledore shivered as he thought about what Harry had gone through.
The murder of Cedric Diggory, another Hogwarts' student, to start with. Then he was captured and taken as a prisoner to become an unwilling spectator and necessairy ingredient to Voldemort's rebirth.
After he had regained his body and powers, he challanged Harry into a duel. But to Voldemorts surprise the duel went a little different than he expected it to go, as till then Voldemort hadn't known that the core of Harry's wand and his own were the same which leaded in a forced duel to an event known to wizards as "Priori Incantatem".
In this particular occassion Harry's wand "forced" Voldemorts wand show all his prior actions. The murder of Harry's parents included. That had been a very emotional meeting as Harry had missed his parents for most of his life.
Dumbledore knew that Harry had suffered a lot due to the loss of his parents when he was a child and that the encounter with their spirits had reopend wounds that could only be healed with time. And still they wouldn't heal completely as it would always be a tender spot, something that would effect him for the rest of his life.
Harry was still in the Hospital wing, carefully looked after by Madam Pomfrey. Physically he was ok, the nasty cut in his arm had healed quite nicely, thanks to Madam Pomfrey.
His friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger visited him as much as they could, but as they had to take their exams Harry had spend quite a lot of time alone. Time he had used to worry about things that might happen now Voldemort was gaining power again. Dumbledore knew this instintively, as he was worrying himself about it too.
But Voldemort wasn't the only thing on Harry's mind. Dumbledore knew Harry was worried sick about Sirius, his godfather and his wherabouts.
Suddenly he heard a knock on the door. As Dumbledore called "Enter", the door went open and Madam Pomfrey came into his office.
"Goodmorning, Madam Pomfrey,"
"Goodmorning, Headmaster. I'm awfully sorry but I really have to talk to you about Harry Potter,"
"Yes, Madam Pomfrey. Come in. Please, sit down. Would you like a cup of tea while we talk?"
"Yes, I wouldn't mind a nice cup of tea."
"Now, tell me, what do you wish to tell me about young mister Potter…," Dumbledore asked carefully.
"Well, it's this… I can't find any real wounds. The cut in his arm as healed quite nicely, but I'm really worried about his state of mind.. He…well…I don't know quite sure if I should tell you this but…he keeps on asking me questions about that black dog that was with him a while ago…"
Dumbledore grinned and said : "No need to worry Madam Pomfrey, that question might be a little weird but it's nothing to be worried about! Especially since I'm worried about that same dog too…"
Madam Pomfrey looked at Dumbledore in surprise.
"Now, Madam Pomfrey, do you think I have gone mentall?"
"No! Of course not! But that isn't the only thing : he's so terribly quiet. Even his friends are worried about it, they talked to me about it before they left yesterday. They're worried and to be honest I'm getting worried too…"
Madam Pomfrey sighed before she looked up to Dumbledore and continued :
"I know he has wounds I can't cure. But I think that a day in another enviroment might do the trick… That will take his mind of things… Just for a few hours I know but still…"
"Yes….yes…, you do have a point there Poppy! What would you suggest?"
"Mmm, I don't know, let's see… What about a relaxing day at the seaside? The seaside is a very relaxing place you know… What do you think Dumbledore?"
He was about to answer her question, when he was disturbed by the sound of an owl approching. One of the school-owls flew through the Office window and landed on Dumbledore's desk, carrying a very big letter addressed to Dumbledore.
"I better leave and head back to the Hospital wing to check on Harry again," said Poppy Pomfrey, as she watched Headmaster Dumbledore detaching the letter from the owl's leg.
"Yes," answered Dumbledore, whose mind already was occupied with the letter he just got. He starred at it a long time, he didn't even heard Madam Pomfrey leaving his office!
Then he opened the envelope and started to read the short letter :
Dear Headmaster Dumbledore,
I'm pleased to inform you that I've been able to warn quite a few of the people you mentioned in our last encounter. They have asked me to tell you they'll be in tough with you as soon as possible. There are still a few people I haven't been in contact with, but that might change soon.
Can you please inform me how Harry is doing by returning owl.
Many regards,
Snuffles.
Dumbledore reached over and opened his bottom right drawer with a tick of his wand. He took out a roll of parchment and started to write his reply to Sirius, also known to a select group of people as Snuffles.
Dear Snuffles,
I was delighted to recieve your letter. I'm very pleased that you've managed to reach and warn quite a few of the people I wanted you to warn.
Harry has recovered quite well from his encounter to Lord Voldemort, although he's very worried about what's going to happen now.
The cut in his arm has healed nicely thanks to Madam Pomfrey. But Madam Pomfrey and myself are now a bit worried about his state of mind.
I'm sure you realise that the encounter with Voldemort has left scares in his soul and that he is very worried about things that might happen in the future.
And the fact that he hasn't heard anything from you might have made things worse than they allready were. Add to that the fact that miss Granger and mr.Weasley are taking their exames as we speak so Harry has no friends to rely on for 100% at the moment.
All things concidered, I would like you to come back to Hogwarts, just for a few days so you can join him, Hermione and Ron on the outing that I'm planning for Harry to take his mind of things. Afterwards you can warn the others but I believe that the mental health of Harry is and should always be in first place, as he's going to be a very importent person in our battle against Voldemort.
I hope to see you back at Hogwarts soon,
Many regards,
A.Dumbledore
After he had re-read his own letter he putted it into an envelope and attached it to the paw of the School owl that had taken the liberty of using Fawkes's perch.
Dumbledore patted Fawkes gently on the head as he wanted to make clear that the owl wasn't going to take his place in any way. He lifted the owl of the purch and walked over to the open window and saw the owl taking off with his letter.
AN : Jep, this is a re-posted chapter, as I had some major problems with the lay out of this story. I hope a change of writting programme will solve that problem, if not, it was worth the try...
