Harry Potter

Chapter One

An Unexpected Visitor

Harry Potter brushed his hands against the wall and again stared into the piercing eyes of Albus Dumbledore. The eyes seemed to gaze right back, even though this was not a photograph from the wizarding world.

Right next to Dumbledore was Severus Snape, the most hated Potions master in the history of Hogwarts, although Harry found him to be the bravest man he had ever known.

Harry often sat on his bed before he went to sleep, thinking about the past seven years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Crack. Could that be the sound of Apparation?

He decided not, and ignored it.

"Harry." He heard a voice.

He turned around quickly and saw himself face-to-face with Luna Lovegood.

He jumped, and quickly his countenance turned from terror to confusion. "Luna!" he said. "What are you doing here? This is my bed."

Luna smiled at him. "Hello, Harry." She brushed her dirty-blonde hair out of her face to reveal dangling earrings. One was the shape of Harry's lightning scar, and the other was of a phoenix. "I came to show you these. I made them myself. The phoenix represents your wand, you know."

Harry was filled with love for Luna - she always knew how to make him happy. "Thanks, Luna."

"Any time!" Luna exclaimed. "Oh, I hope you don't mind...Ron and Hermione and Ginny and a few other Ravenclaws are here, too." She opened Harry's closet (Harry nearly yelled) to reveal Cho Chang, Ginny and Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and a few first- and second-years Harry didn't know.

"They wanted to meet you," said Luna. "I told them tonight was the perfect time, since you're always up late. This is Wendell Mark - " Wendell, a short, plump boy with freckles and brown hair waved " - Jimmy Watterson - " Jimmy was as tall as Wendell, with slick blonde hair - (Harry was nauseatingly reminded of Draco Malfoy) smiled warmly " - Agatha Lawrence - " Agatha was shorter than Jimmy or Wendell, and she had long black hair and looked like a mini-version of Cho Chang. She showed her white teeth and almost ran to hug Harry, but was stopped by a strawberry-blonde girl with small blue eyes "There's nothing wrong with hugging, Jennifer," said Luna. "This is Jennifer Willis, Harry. That's about everyone."

Harry nodded dryly. "Erm, that was nice, Luna, but I think it's about time I went to bed - " he faked a yawn "And I am very tired." Then it hit him with cold realization. "Wait...why are you here. Really." He was well aware that all these people would not come to him just to meet him.

Hermione stepped forward. "Well, Harry. Erm..." she suddenly threw herself into Harry's arms in an awkward cuddle. Harry, who was surprised and pleased at the same time, returned the hug.

"The thing is, Harry," Hermione attempted to repeat what she had been trying to say. "You need to come back to Hogwarts."
