*Chapter 1*

Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived, Scarhead--whatever you want to call him--awoke on a February morn to see snow falling outside his window. His brilliant green eyes darted to the clock (4:00 am, not yet time to get ready for breakfast) to his best friend, Ron Weasly. Ron was clutching Hermione Granger's periwinkle hair ribbon, who was also their best friend, which she had worn at the Yule Ball the previous year, but it fell out of her hair when she walked off in a huff after yelling at Ron. Of course they still fought,but ever since he asked Hermione out on the train at the beginning of the school year, Ron kept his comments to himself about matters which they fought in. So, it was sort of like a tradition: Ron had to sleep with it. It was for good luck or something. Harry out his glasses on and walked over to the side of Ron's bed. "Ron?" he whispered. No response. "Ron?" he said a little louder. Ron snored. "RON!" he shouted, pushing him off the bed. Oops. "Bloody hell, Harry, it's 4 in the morning! Why'd you do that, you git?" "I had a really strange dream, Ron. It was about Dumbledore. He came down from heaven, and he said, 'Don't let Hagrid hug you!' and I turned around, and there was Hagrid, dressed like a Care Bear...the Grumpy Bear, I think...and next to him was Lucius Malfoy holding a bottle of Poison, and Snape with a Pufferskin on his head. And when I turned back around, Dumbledore was gone. Just like that." Ron sighed. He missed Dumbledore, too. "Look, Harry, I miss him, too, but you know it wasn't hagrid who killed him. It was Lucius with the killing potion. But Lucius is in Azkaban, and the word on the street is that he'll receive the Dementor's Kiss soon. And we have McGonagall as the new Headmistress. The whole Snape with the Pufferskin, and Hagrid dressed as the Grumpy Bear, well, I can't really explain that....anyway, don't worry about it. Just get some sleep. you know Dumbledore is watching over you. He's not gonna like seeing you unhappy." "Yeah....I know," Harry said, fighting back tears. Ron could see Harry was still upset about this, and he remembered something to cheer him up. "Isn't funny the way Snape and McGonagall are going out?" He changed into a falsetto tone."Oh, Snapey, darling, I love you!" He then changed into a nasally, resulting in, "Minervy, you are one of the select few who really starts me up! Like the Rolling Stones!" He made a fake gagging noise. "I'd rather stick forks in my nose than listen to THAT! Harry couldn't help but laugh. Ron always made him feel better. And somehow, he forgot all about his dream and went to bed. But he couldn't shake the feeling that, other than Ron, someone was in the dorm with him.
