The Letter
Harry walked to Defense Against the Dark Arts with Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle. He hadn't apologized to Hermione and Ron yet. It was too late for that, anyway. He already had a new group of friends, and it looked like Neville was replacing him as Hermione and Ron's friend.
The door to Defense Against the Dark Arts creaked open, and they stepped inside. Hermione, who was sitting next to Ron, whirled around. Seeing that it was Malfoy and Harry, she turned back to the front of the classroom with a disgusted look on her face. Harry ignored this and went to sit next to his new friends in the back of the classroom.
"Now that everyone's here, we can begin the lesson," said a girly voice from the front of the room. "Today we're reading chapter three of your Defensive Magical Theory book by Wilbert Slinkhard." The sound of groans and books opening filled the room. Professor Umbridge ignored them.
Harry looked around the room. Everyone seemed to at least pretend they were reading. Everyone except Hermione, who had her book closed and was looking at Professor Umbridge with her hand raised. This was what Hermione did every lesson. Soon all of the students would have their attention on Hermione and Professor Umbridge would finally call on her. A piece of paper was slipped onto Harry's book. He looked to his left and saw Malfoy mouth, "read it". Harry unfolded the paper and started reading:
Meet me at the entrance of the Forbidden Forest tonight at ten. There's something very important I have to tell you.
Harry reread the letter again. What did Malfoy have to tell him? Was it something about being adopted? Did Malfoy have something hidden in the forest? Harry nodded at Malfoy. Tonight would be the night where he will learn something. Harry didn't know what, but he would learn something.
Author's Note: Sorry this took so long. I'll try to get the next chapter up soon!
