When Will You Visit Me- Chapter 4
Dumbledore's Decision
After what Hermione and Ron talked about on the train, Harry decided not to bug them. They kept on talking, until Harry grunted, and startled them. They kept on arguing about telling him something. The train ride was rather boring. Hermione woke Harry up, and she left to the very last compartment to change. Ron then started talking with Harry.
"Umm...Harry," Ron said quietly.
"Mm.." Harry answered, in no mood to talk.
"Never mind, you wouldn't like it anyway." Ron said, and pushed his trunk back up in the overhead storage compartment. Hermione entered at that second, and whispered to Ron what sounded like,
"You didn't tell him, did you?"
Ron then shook his head and looked at Harry, in a sympathetic way. Then an old witch's voice blared from nowhere.
"We will be approaching Hogwarts in 5 minutes. Please leave your luggage on the train, as it will be taken to your dorms separately."
The train pulled slowly to a stop in front of hundreds of horseless carriages. The first years followed a temporary gamekeeper to the boats, as Hagrid was still on business for Dumbledore. When the carriages pulled to a stop at Hogwarts, Dumbledore came rushing to
the door, found Harry, and pulled him inside. Everyone wondered what the Headmaster wanted with 'the famous Harry Potter.' As soon as they were out of earshot of the rest of the school, Dumbledore started whispering furiously to Harry about many muggle killings, and how if Harry ever had anymore dreams to contact him imidiatly. Harry agreed quickly, and said he wanted to see the sorting, but Dumbledore pulled him farther away from the Great Hall, and told Harry to go to his dorm, that food would be sent up for him. Harry agreed, yet, he really wanted to see the sorting. Dumbledore escorted Harry to the common room, and left him there, saying that even though he was a prefect, he should be careful. And, also that Harry should open the common room door when everyone comes, because none knew the password, other than Harry, because Harry was the only prefect in Gryffindor. Harry yet again agreed, and sat down to enjoy some pumpkin juice, and roast turkey. Harry had a feeling that the only reason he wasn't down there, was because Dumbledore was making an announcement, that he didn't want Harry to hear.

As Hermione and Ron saved a seat for Harry, and sat down, Dumbledore came in, and told them that there was no need to save Harry a seat. His exact words were,
"Harry will not be joining us tonight, he is up in the common room, upon my orders."
Hermione and Ron were afraid something had happened, but let Fred sit in Harry's seat, next to Ron. Hermione wasn't paying much attention to what she was eating. She was more concerned about Harry.
What if he found out.
She thought. They can't keep it from him forever. It was as if Ron was reading her mind, because he started mumbling about not keeping it from him, and how he should hear about it.At the end of the meal Dumbledore got up and said,
"Now, before we sing the house song, I have an announcement to make."
Ron felt Hermione got riged, and he squeezed her arm.
"This year we will, out of caution, have the Triwizard Tournament, except, the Headmasters, and Headmistresses will each chose 2 competers, a boy and a girl. This year there is no age limit, yet you must have certain specifications."
And he went on and on about all the things you must do.
**********
Hermione ran up to the common room, and knocked, knowing Harry was there. He opened it for her, and she cried out in horror.
"Harry, they are trying again with the Triwizard Tournament!"
A/N : Ha, cliffhanger. You must be wondering what happens, well, I'm not
telling, only 2 other people know. So Ha. (Sorry, for being mean, and late, I
got sick, and am getting over a bad cold.)
A/N Again: Sorry, I won't post chap. 5 until I get 10 reviews, so REVIEW PLEEASE!
