A/N: Hey guys sorry for the short update. A lot of my stories are on the back burner for the moment because of college. Don't worry though I will eventually finish all of them.
Dudley watched as Harry and Professor Snape came into the hall. Last night had been interesting to say the least. After he'd received Harry's patronus and replied he had been about to go to bed, but then the Headmaster had knocked at the door. They'd had a long talk about what would happen now that he was his apprentice and what classes he should take with the other first years. Personally even though he liked to fly he didn't think it was an important enough class to take and wanted to see what the Headmaster needed assistance with. Another class he'd opted out of was Astronomy as the Headmaster had offered to teach him basic runes. Technically they shouldn't be able to take it until third year, but Professor Dumbledore had admitted that he didn't want Dudley to feel left out. He'd explained that Harry would likely spend a lot of his time at Professor Snape's side both in and out of classes and before now it had always just been Dudley and Harry as friends. Dudley appreciated it especially since he didn't have his parents here like Harry did. Of course he understood that Professor Snape was deathly ill and that he needed support, so he doubted that he would get very jealous, he just wasn't that type of person, but still he enjoyed spending time with the older wizard. Shaking his head he realized that there was a note beside him and as he looked at it he noticed Harry's familiar scrawl. Flipping it open he looked down the table and nodded at Harry. The note said they needed to talk right after breakfast before they went to classes. For the first class Harry had decided to go with his uncle as it was a year potions class, but he still needed to get his schedule figured out. Smiling Dudley realized that this was going to be a great year at Hogwarts.
Though unbeknownst to him someone was watching him with narrowed eyes.
Someone intent on making sure that it was Harry Potter's last school year.
