Chapter 3- A Visitor


It had only been a week, but the chicks didn't look like chicks anymore. They were
mainly white, like Hedwig, but instead of an occational Black feather here or there, there was
an occational red or gold feather. Harry had named them Pigwed and Hedgeon, before he got
a letter from Ron saying that these were not full Owls. Harry had no clue what they were, but
he liked them. Pigwed and Hedgeon were huge.

Suddenly Harry heard a tapping at the window. It was a school owl. He had
already gotten his supply list, so what could it be?



Dear Harry,

This is urgent news. Voldemort found out even though he can't reach you, his death eaters
can. Tell your Aunt-

-Harry smiled, Dumbledore didn't miss a thing

-not to answer the door. Inside is floo powder. Say, "Gryffindor Commen Room." Your aunt
should come too. They want to use her as bait for you. Go as quickly as possible!

Dumbledore



Harry was worried. He never got a thing like this. He grabbed his school supplies
and let Hedwig free to go outside with her chicks. Thank God they could fly already! He
yelled to his Aunt, "Go to the fireplace, and don't answer the door!"

Harry waited for his aunt by the fireside. Suddenly, Harry saw three dark
figures appear on the lawn. Two were troll sized, and one was tall and lean. Harry could
guess who they were. Aunt Petunia ran in the room. Harry handed her some floo powder.

"Throw this in the fire and yell 'Gryffindor Commen Room.'"

She did so. Harry followed just as the door flew open. When he landed his aunt
wasn't there. Damn! He thought to himself, I should have explained to her better! He ran out
the room and as quickly as he could to Dumbledore's office. Dumbledore was standing there
waiting for him.

"Did they take her?"

"No, but she wasn't there. When I arrived the commen room was empty."

"I'll have the house elves search the castle, she couldn't have gone far."

"Where are the Professers?"

" We only have a few teachers stay over the summer. Most go home to their
families."

Aunt Petunia stared at a very familiar face, of one who didn't have a family to go home to...
