August 1, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Harry Potter walked through the place he once called "Home". He looked down as he passed the places where innocent friends and family members were murdered in the battle. His guilt stopped as he reached the Headmistress office and he reminded himself it wasn't his fault.
He straightened himself and said "Acid Pops" to the gargoyle guarding statue. The statue allowed him to enter and he entered the office to see Minerva waiting for him. He entered and sat in the chair that was put there for him. She smiled at him.
"Harry, you said you had something to tell me"She said hoping it was nothing dangerous but knowing it was him, it probably was.
"Yesterday I was informed that someone had tried to steal a special items from a high security vault. I was wondering if the item could be moved here"He finished and Minerva looked shocked, after all the dangerous things that happened at Hogwarts, he still trusted the place?
"Harry, are you sure? I do not want a situation like your first year to happen again"She asked now fully knowing what happened in his first year.
"I'm positive. I ask you however to put more protection on this item then Professor Dumbledore did in my first year"He said and he saw Minerva look at the empty portrait of Albus Dumbledore.
"What is this important item?"She asked truly curious about an item that needed to be protected so much.
"It is the Locket of Life"He said and she gasped, clutching her heart.
"But that is only a legend!"She said in disbelief.
"I thought the same for many things but it is the real thing "He said and Minerva looked at him like she did in his first year..
"Something else is bothering you, isn't it?" She said and Harry gave a defeated sigh, she knew him too well.
"Albus is starting this year and I fear that he will be just as adventurous as me..."He trailed of and Minerva understood.
"You fear he will find out and be like yourself with the Philosopher Stone"She said and he nodded knowing that Albus was just like him and that was a bad thing.
"Do not worry Harry, we will keep this Locket protected"She said and he nodded although he was still worried for his son.
"I hope so Minerva" He said with a sigh. She put a hand on his shoulder and he nodded. "Do not worry Harry"
Harry really hoped she was right...
