It was a crisp autumn day was beautiful. The orange, red, and green leaves was a pattern against the brown of tree trunks. The blue sky was turning dark however. Students was heading inside due to the growing storm. Some heading to the library to get last minute studing for exams tomorrow. The last days of term was coming to a close.

Harry Potter was leaving professor McGonagall's office to his flat. He just finished his visit to talk to Professor Dumbledore.

The four shall return," croaked out the hat to the current Headmaster, Minerva McGonagall. She looked up sternly at the hat, raising her eyebrows. She pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Come again?" she said slightly annoyed the hat was talking out of boredem.

"The four shall return," the hat said again. Professor McGonagall opened her mouth but nothing came out. The four shall return what in the world what that supposed to mean? She then followed the hats gaze to the portraits of the founders of the school. Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin, portraits did not move or speak.

"Are you saying the founders remaining descendants will return to hogwarts," she asked suspiciously. That hat was supposed to think up songs, not predictions.

"Yes," the hat said even more gruffly. The protrait of Professor Everard looked at her knowingly.

"What makes you think that? Voldemort is gone," she asked determind to get an answer out of it.

"The time has come," replied the hat simply with no other words to be spoken. Minerva looked at it once more. Then she looked at her paper work. The darkness outside her office, was getting darker. Dead leaves rustled softly in the brisk wind. A black cloud was looming high above the castle.
