Harry stepped through platform 9 3/4. The thrill rushed through him as he stepped on to Hogwarts Express. The summer was over. He was going to be with his two best friends again. There was a knock at the door and Hermione's head popped in.
"I've been looking for you. Is Ron late again?"
"Is the sky blue?"
Just as the train whistled, Ron walked into their compartment, breathing heavily. Hermione and Harry smiled at him as he sat down. They were together again. Harry felt so complete. Every time he went away for the summer, it felt like parts of him were missing. But they were back together and they were ready for a year of excitement and adventure.
Once they got to Hogwarts and watched the sorting Harry, Hermione, and Ron made their way to the Gryffindorf tower. Dumbledore stepped in Harry's path.
"Hello, Harry. I need to speak to you in my office please."
Hermione and Ron looked curious, but stepped out of the way. Harry was the most curious. He followed Dumbledore to his office. There was a curious looking man sitting in a chair in front of Dumbledore's desk. He looked vaguely familiar to Harry, but he was sure he had never met him. The man turned around with tears in his eyes.
"Harry, I've been waiting for this day for so long."
He grabbed Harry into a giant hug. Harry shrugged him off. Who was this guy and WHY was he hugging him. Dumbledore looked at Harry with shock.
"I'm very surprised that you don't recognize him Harry, even with the work he's had done."
"I'm very sorry sir, but who is this?"
"Harry this is..."
I'm evil, aren't I? Any ideas who it is?
