Broomsticks on Fire

Chapter Seven

Jake was in his room packing when Harry showed up. "Hi," said Harry, grinning at Jake's messy room.

Jake frowned back at him.

"What's wrong?" Harry inquired, stepping over a pile of clothes and a stack of CDs to get to his friend.

"I dunno..." Jake muttered. "It's just...I'm not sure if this wizard school thing is going to turn out okay. I mean, I am so not going to fit in."

"But you don't fit in with the muggles either," Harry pointed out.

"Hm."

"I'm sure that isn't all your worried about," Harry added.

Jake grimaced. "I guess not. But you have to admit, you don't look too thrilled either."

"Yeah...I suppose..." the young wizard faltered, then said, "Things are getting pretty scary now, what with Voldemort back."

"And the Dark Dragon," Jake muttered.

"Right."

"And you know, if you think about it...if Dumbledore's right, and DD is a horcrux, then think how powerful Voldemort must be to have made him."

"Thanks," Harry said sarcastically. "I feel loads better."

Jake sighed. "Well, things'll turn out fine, I'm sure." Grinning, he changed the subject. "So...does anyone in your school have a sense of humor for practical jokes...besides Fred and George?"

"Oh yeah," Harry said, warming up on the subject. "All of their friends, and loads of mine as well. You know, I think you'll quite enjoy Hogwarts...you may never get away from Hagrid badgering you though."

Jake grimaced. The game-keeper and Charlie alike had been pestering him about his powers non-stop. Sometimes he even resorted to using Harry's cloak just to hide from them. "And Charlie...?"

"Don't worry about him, he's going back to Romania. Trust me, Hogwarts is great."

"Yeah..." said Jake doubtfully. Hogwarts sounded fun, but he still had some doubts...and of course, there was still the evil lurking everywhere behind them...even if not visible...


A/N: Okay, I know, not too action packed. But it'll get better. And I know, very short. But it'll get better. Anywayz, please r&r, and I shall update asap, but please no flames!
