Chapter nine
That evening in the common room Harry warned Ginny for Dumbledore. He hadn't wanted to do it in such a crowded place, but he had seen Dumbledore looking at her during the feast and he wanted her to be warned. "I don't know if or what he will do, but he seems to want to keep people away from me. He even asked Ron and Hermione not to talk about what happened with me. He even dared to suggest that they let me be for a while. He sealed my parents Will and placed me with my aunt and uncle. They weren't nice to me Gin. They hated me. In my parent's Will also stood that Sirius Black is innocent. Had Dumbledore not sealed it, I could have been living with him and have a happy childhood. I don't know why he does it, he just does. Don't trust anything he gives to you." Ginny was shocked. She had heard about things on the train of course, but this. She hadn't expected it to be so big. "thank you for the warning Harry. Sleep well." "Sleep well Ginny" Soon everyone was asleep.
The next morning at breakfast Harry's prediction came true. He got two letters. One from Remus and one from Tonks.
Hello Harry,
I hope you didn't have to much trouble on the train ride. We always seemed to get into trouble on it. On our second train ride we tried to prank the witch with the sweets car. We got caught and missed the sorting ceremony. It wasn't fun, I can tell you.
I'm curious as to what you said to Tonks when we left the ministry. She said to me that she wore the same look as I did on the platform yesterday. As for your comment, you know why it can't Harry. I wonder why I even bother discussing my love life with a twelve year old. It doesn't matter.
Take care of yourself and don't get caught,
Moony
Harry was grinning like mad when he finished the letter "What is so funny" Hermione asked. He gave the letter to her. Ron tried to read with her over her should and Ginny tried to ream him upside down. Hermione was laughing to when she finished the letter. She gave him to Ron so he could read the last part. He found it funny to. He gave the letter to Ginny. "did he seriously say he didn't have a crush on her first?" she asked. Harry nodded. "Yes, but now he admits it. He only thinks he doesn't deserve her and that he is too dangerous for her. She had told him many times she doesn't care, but he's a bit stubborn. That's the reason for the animagus part." Harry said. "He really is stubborn." Hermione agreed. "Come on, let's read Tonks' letter." Ron said. Harry opened that letter quickly. He laid him so that Ginny could read with him.
Wotcher Harry,
What did you say to Remus. His face was just too funny. Although I must admit that I probably looked the same at the ministry. Last time I saw you, you said you may have a solution for his too dangerous argument. Please tell me. He is just too stubborn for his own good. I told him many times that I don't care, but he just doesn't listen.
Write me quick,
Tonks
Harry gave the letter to Ron and Hermione. "What do you think of it?" he asked Ginny. "I think you have to be quick with the animagus thing. Don't tell her what it is until you did it and until you know you can help others. We don't want to give her false hope." Hermione nodded. "That's good idea. I will look in the library if I can find something on it." "Are you going to teach all of us Harry?" Ron asked. "If you all want to, then yes, but first. I'll write a reply to these letters. I think I'll just drop what I said to the other. That would be funny." Ron snickered. "Can you imagine his face when you tell him that you know Tonks' address and didn't share it with him?" Hermione giggled "Oh I wish I could see that." The four quickly finished their breakfasts.
"Here are your timetables. Mr. Potter, could you please come to my office after your classes?" "I'll be there aunt Minerva." Harry whispered and he took his timetable. "What do you have first?" he asked Ginny. "Potions ugh." She replied. "And you three?" "DADA, I'm curious how our new professor will do." Hermione said. "Well he has done a lot, according to his books, so I figure he should be good." Ron said. "Let's hope so." Harry said. The four left the Great Hall and went to their classes.
"How was Lockhart?" Ginny asked at lunch."Bad," Harry said "He let Gornish Pixies loose and we had to clean up while he fled." "I agree, that wasn't very responsible." Hermione frowned. The old Hermione had jumped to the professor's defence, but the new Hermione wouldn't. She knew it wrong of him to do so. "How was Snape?" Ron asked. "Horrible." Ginny sighed. "At least I have it with Ravenclaw and not with Slytherin." "You're lucky." Ron said jealous. "I know." Ginny said. "But I have Lockhart and Slytherin at the same time." "Ai, that's bad." Harry agreed. "But enough about horrible teachers, I wonder what aunt Minerva needs me for?" "I don't know, we will see." Hermione said.
After his lessons Harry went to professor McGonagall's office. "What did you need me for Professor?" Harry asked. "We're alone, Harry." Minerva said. "That's good." Harry said. "Harry I called you here, because Dumbledore has asked me to keep a close eye on you four. To me he said that he just wanted to make sure that you were okay after last year. Somehow I doubt that that are his real intentions. I want you and your friends to be on guard all the time." "Thank you for the warning, aunt Minerva, I'll warn Hermione Ron and Hermione as well." "That's good Harry, if someone asks. I was making sure you were okay after last year." "good evening aunt." Harry said. "Good evening Harry." She smiled at Harry's retreating back. She would do everything she could to protect the boy from Dumbledore's schemes. She vowed to herself.
