Hi again everyone!!! Thanks so much to all of you who have reviewed your brilliant!!! Same goes for any who placed this or any of my other stories on alert or in favourites!!! Thanks!!!
So this chapter is just showing the reactions of several key/main characters to the response of the news of Harry's "death" (wink wink )
Keep in mind that characters like Ron, Hermione and Ginny, among others of this age are too the same age as Harry and are therefore too young to have a very informed opinion in matters and therefore won't have a viewpoint here.
Okay so here we go:-
Minerva's POV:
"Merlin, Harry I'm so sorry," the broken sob escapes my mouth as fresh tears escape my eyes as I awaken for another July 31st where little Harry is away from his rightful place in the Wizarding World and with those dreadful muggles still. My only solace on this day is that he is at least alive.
A small semblance of a smile stretches at my lips as whilst wiping my tears my gaze lands on a small handcraved box on a bookshelf beside my bed. Inside that box are many items which I will soon give to Harry as belated birthday and Christmas presents for what I am sure those muggles won't give him any! They truly were despicable and hateful.
Really why would they? Lily, sweet gentle and kind Lily, bless her soul for her sister is nothing like and her and despises our world. There is no way Harry is happy there, safe from deatheaters maybe but not happy and healthy.
Albus may think it a good place for the boy but I can't shake the dread in y heart. No matter, when Harry comes to Hogwarts nothing will stop me guiding, caring and helping the little boy in any way I possibly can. I will even go against the Headmaster to help him. I owe it to James and to Lily, to Remus and Sirius.
Poor, poor Remus losing so many of his best friends all at once and then to lose his cub because he is not human. But he won't be alone for much longer as once Harry is 11 and in the magical world the Potter Wills can be read and both Harry and Remus along with Sirius can begin their much needed healing process.
One single tear leaks out my eye and trails down my creased face as this thought crosses my mind. Soon it will be so, but not soon enough for my liking. I can do no more now as my Oath to Albus prevents interference while Harry is in the Muggle World.
"That damn meddlesome old fool! I can't wait for all this to blow up in his face and for him to get a taste of his own medicine!"
I gasp raggedly as I try to restrain yet more tears as I prepare for the day ahead and no doubt Severus sneering ungrateful attitude towards this day. How that man is not locked up in Azkaban I will never understand!
As I walk the silent empty halls towards the Great Hall for breakfast I here shouting coming from the Entrance Hall. Against my wishes I feel my pace quickening and heart pounding as for some unknown reason fear grips me very being.
I reach the hallway at the same time that the Minister's voice raises but I don't hear what Albus says nor anyone else for all I can hear are the same two words repeated over and over again.
"HE'S DEAD"
I've failed before I even began.
Okay guys well this is it for now. I know I said I would give several wizards views to the news but well when I began writing this came out and I like it!
So next time will be Severus and hopefully others like Madame Pomfrey, Remus, and some other. Maybe! But I will be giving the POV's of the above three at somepoint here!
Also I am thinking of after I finish here to showing Harry's new life in America and his groing up there at least until he is 11. After that I have an idea for a longer story with Harry returning to go to Hogwarts and fighting Voldemort. Am just curious if people would be interested in this...
As always thanks for reading and please review! Bye!!!
