Chapter One: A new Headmaster
Harry woke from a loud thunderclap of lightning. He had not been sleeping well for the past several weeks. With the Dursleys yelling at him, the death of Dumbledore, and Voldemort being loose, his mind was spinning in circles. As he rolled over to go back to sleep he saw something white next to Hedwig's cage. Wondering what it was he went over to look. It was a letter addressed to him. The writing looked familiar but he couldn't place it. He opened the envelope and pulled out a small piece of parchment. He decided to read it.
Dear Harry,
I had received word from a Seer that I was going to be killed by a man that I trusted with my life within a few weeks. So I had decided to write this letter and have Fawkes deliver it to you on the night of your birthday. In my will I had requested that you become my successor. I want it to be you Harry because you are the only one that can keep the school safe. You have surpassed many of the teachers in the school and will soon surpass even my power. You should receive word from the ministry soon after midnight on your birthday that you have become the next Headmaster. I have enclosed a list of where I think the other Horcruxes are. I had also willed Fawkes to you so he is yours to command and take care of. Take care Harry and take care of your new students.
Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore
P.S. All Headmaster information is on your desk in your office.
Harry had to read this letter twice to make sure he had read it right. Then he pulled out the other piece of parchment he had not noticed before and took a look at it before stuffing it in the cover of his new Quidditch book that he had received from Hermione. He took a glance at his clock it said 11:59 pm. He thought to him self if this is true I will receive word from the ministry shortly. He then decided that since he would soon be 17 and be of legal age he began packing his things. Grabbing his unneeded books from his stash under his bed, packing his few clothes and grabbing is firebolt. Not long after he had packed those things he heard a tapping on the window. He glanced over to see a brown owl at his window. He ran over and opened it as the owl flew in dropping a letter on his bed. He took the owl over to Hedwig's cage to get a drink before heading back off. He quickly opened it and began reading:
Dear Mr. Potter
First we would like to wish you a happy birthday. Next we would like to inform you that in Albus Dumbledore's will he stated that with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named back he wished that you would be his successor. We are glad to accept Albus's wish and grant you the position of Headmaster at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. We will be sending a ministry official to your office at the end of the week to get your signature on some papers officializing your position.
Sincerely,
The Minister of Magic
Harry could not believe what he was reading. After he had come back to his senses he decided to write Hermione and the Weasley's and let them know of the news.
Dear Hermione
I have just been appointed the new Headmaster of Hogwarts. Now that I am of age I am going to Number 12 Grimauld Place if you would not mind and join me it would be much appreciated.
Harry
Harry hurried and copied this on another piece of parchment and sent it to the weasleys. When he was done he started pacing around waiting for Hedwig to get back from hunting. After about fifteen minutes Hedwig flew through the window and landed on Harry's shoulder.
"It's about time," Harry said in a anxious manner, "I need you to deliver these to Hermione and Ron and then meet me at Number 12 Grimauld Place."
Hedwig hooted happily and nipped Harry on the ear before flying off into the night. Harry double checked to make sure he grabbed everything and apparated to his new home.
