Harry was stuck. He wanted to get out so badly. What if he missed the first day of Hogwart's? He was hungry. He hoped that Cristal had thought to SEND A LETTER TO Hermione and Ron explaining his absence at Diagon Alley. He also hoped that she had gotten him his books, knowing Cristal, she probably didn't. He wanted to get out of the closet. He thought of summoning his stuff and getting away, but he couldn't risk being expelled. Amanda Dumbledore was stricter than Albus Dumbledore, her Great- Grandfather. He thought back to last year, with the events leading up to Amanda becoming Headmistress.

Flash Back- Harry's 6th year

Professor Flitwick came running in. "Lord Voldemort has taken over Hogwart's! Lord Voldemort has taken over Hogwart's! Run for it! He toppled over. Harry was sitting with Amanda Dumbledore, Hermione, and Ron. They were studying for an exam. Ron pulled Hermione up and took her hand. They followed Professor Flitwick as he got up and ran to the Whomping Willow, where an emergency passageway led to safety. It was over Easter Break, and Amanda was visiting.

He looked at Amanda and helped her up. He heard somebody walking down past the room, down the halls. Amanda picked up the Marauder's Map and pointed to a figure. It was a tiny dot, reading Tom Riddle. He then saw something in a dungeon. It was a tiny shape, reading Sirius Black. He gasped. He had to save Sirius!

"Amanda, we've got to save Sirius!"

"He's a murderer! I can't believe you care about him!"

"He's my godfather, though. Voldemort might kill him."

"It's what he deserves, Harry, come on, time is running out!"

"I am not leaving him! Go without me." Harry protested. An eerie laugh was heard, coming from below. "Sirius!" Harry started running towards the dungeons, as fast as he could. He knew the marauder's Map by heart. He raced to the dungeons. He needed to save Sirius and he didn't care if he died doing it. Amanda saw him and soon followed.

Out of breath, he burst into the dungeon. He saw that devilish grin of Voldemort's and freaked out. "I am afraid, you are too late." He said. Harry looked and saw a large black dog, in the corner, still and lifeless. He broke up in tears.

"Sirius didn't need this. You are horrible and mean! I can't believe you would do this to him. Take me too!" Harry growled. Voldemort got out his wand.

"No! Stop right there Tom Riddle!"

"Amanda?" Harry asked, "Why are you here? You don't want to die too!"

"Oh, so we want three dead, instead of one, tonight!" Voldemort asked.

"Just kill us already," Amanda yelled.

"Yeah, kill us." A voice said. Out of the dark, stepped Sirius Black. "Which one of us are you going to kill first?"

"How'd you do that?" Voldemort asked, confused.

"You didn't come close to killing me! You are not as strong as you used to be," Sirius answered. Voldemort sank to his knees. A puddle of blood started forming around him. It glimmered a silvery color.

"Yeah, using unicorn blood to keep you alive results in not being able to perform any spells after a while, Amanda said. "It's a shame that it happened now, just before you could kill Harry. You are weak now! Weak as a rabbit! Weak as a flimsy little spider, waiting to be flicked off its web." Voldemort sank to the floor, more and more blood spilling from him.

"You will never be strong again!" Harry yelled with delight, as Voldemort was on the ground, unable to stand.

"You won't survive tonight!" Sirius added, as Voldemort lyed on the ground, unable to sit up. In one last, dying attempt, he touched the mark on his arm, muttering something under his breath.

He took one last breath of air. Harry hugged Sirius, then walked over to Amanda. They hugged for a long time. Then she kissed him. It was beautiful. Sirius pretended not to be there. He looked away. An owl fluttered in the window. Sirius took the letter and read it to them.

Dear Miss Amanda Dumbledore,

It has come to my attention that Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has just lost an amazing asset to our Wizarding Community. I am extremely distraught over the loss of your Great Grandfather, Albus Dumbledore.

Next year, though, we'll be needing a new headmistress, and I feel that you are overly qualified. Beside attending Hogwart's for the past seven years, You have also attended countless seminars with the former headmaster. After the horrible attack on Hogwart's, we are sorry to say that the rest of the school year will be cancelled. That includes exams.

Thank you,

Percy Weasely

Minister of Magic

Amanda jumped with delight, as Harry watched her. He was upset, her being headmistress will screw everything up. Their dreams and plans of marriage disappeared. He wanted to cry. He hoped that she would possibly bend a little for him. Amanda hugged him.

Harry woke up with the puppy licking his face. He was still stuck in the closet. He still loved Amanda. He hoped she would understand if he didn't come to Hogwart's on time. What should we name you, as he looked at the puppy in adoration. Then he got an idea! The puppy's eyes glowed red.



Another cliffhanger,

I'll post the next chapter soon!
