Chapter Two - Back Home

Harry ran up to his room to get all his things. He replayed everything in his head. Professor McGonagall told him he will be returning to Hogwarts, right now. Part of him was happy to leave here and going to Hogwarts, but he still didn't understand why. He wondered why he was going to go to Ron's, not that he was complaining about going to Hogwarts.

Once he had his things packed he went to get Hedwig's cage. She still wasn't back yet but he wasn't worried. He know that she would find him, just like before.

He brought all his things down stairs were he found Professor McGonagall waiting for him at the door.

"Professor, how do we plan to get there?" asked Harry as he set his things down. He hadn't thought of it till now, but he didn't have any idea how he was going to get to Hogwarts.

"We have been given a portkey for that. Which will," she paused to look at her watch, "activate in five minutes."

At that time Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia came out of the kitchen followed closely by Dudley. Dudley had been trying to hind himself behind Aunt Petunia, which was not working well.

"So you will be leaving now?" asked uncle Vernon.

"Yes. Good-bye," said Harry moving to get a hold of his things. All uncle Vernon gave was a grunt. Unlike Mr. Weasley, Professor McGonagall didn't ask for him to say something more in return.

Harry had just gotten a hold of all his things with the help of Professor McGonagall, he felt a familiar, yet unpleasant tugging sensation behind his navel and was pulled in the whirling portkey.

They emerged not at Hogwarts, but another familiar place. It was the train station, where the Hogwarts express came. And there waiting for them was the horse and carriage to take them to the school. Professor McGonagall helped Harry put his things into the carriage, but did not get in.

"Harry you will ride up by yourself. I have things to do first. When you get there, take your things inside, someone will take them up for you. Then you are to go straight to see Professor Dumbledore. The password is 'sugar plum.'" She took a step back. "Be on your way now." With that the horse started up the road to Hogwarts.

"I'm home," Harry thought out load as he looked up at the school. He was glad to be back. The thought of getting away from the Dursley's was a happy thought. But he wonder why. Why did he have to leave right away to come here, and why did Professor McGonagall come and get him in person. New questions came to Harry as he sat there. He was so deep in thought that he hadn't noticed he had arrived at the school till he stopped moving.

He hoped out and removed his things. He walked up the steps and opened the great big wooden doors and dropped his things inside. He looked around the open hall. There was no one else to be seen, which was very different. All the other times when he arrived at the school there were so many things going on and so many people. This was so different and quite. So quite it didn't feel the same. All the while he was glad to be here and away from the Dursley's. He headed of toward Dumbledore's office.

Once he reached the statue of the phoenix he gave the password the McGonagall had given him. "Sugar Plum," he said and the statue moved to lead to a stairway that would take him up to Dumbledore's office.

He stepped out, off the stairs and walked up the large doors. He knocked and opened the door a little ways and popped inside. Inside found Professor Dumbledore sitting behind his desk talking to someone he had never seen. The young woman looked at Harry. She was rather young looking with short, dark blonde hair to her shoulders. Her eyes became big when she looked at him, and soon left out of the room without saying a word.

"Harry," said Dumbledore in a kind, soft voice. "I'm glad you made it here. Was your trip here good."

"It was fine," said Harry walking up to stand in front of his desk. To the right of Harry was fawkes the Phoenix, which was sleeping at the time. Harry had been in this office many times before, for not very good reasons. Which reminded him, "Professor, if you don't mind me asking, why did you want me to come to school so early?"

"Yes, I will explain that all. Please have a seat Harry." Harry did as he asked and sat down. "Last night someone tried to break into your house, do you remember that?"

"Yes, is that why am here?"

"I'm afraid so. A wizard was trying to break in. Luckily Sirius was there to stop him. Unfortunately he just stopped him from getting in, but did not actually catch the person and we have no clue who it was. We do have a pretty good feeling it had to do with Voldermort."

Harry just looked at Dumbledore, taking it all in without a word. "That is when it was decided to bring you here, where we know that you will be safe. Although there will be a few new rules. You will not leave the school, unless you are with a teacher or myself. Professor McGonagall will be with you most of the time and you are to stay with her. She will be teaching you new things. We feel that you should learn everything that you can and will spending a lot of time in the library. Can you promise me that you will try to do all this?"

"I will Professor. I want to learn everything that I can."

"Good, you may go then. You will find that your things have been taken up to your room. You may go there, and I will see you a breakfast, which will be in the dining hall." Dumbledore and Harry said good-bye and Harry turns to leave. But with one last question he turns back.

"Professor, will I be able to use magic?"

"Seeing that you are back at school, and will be learning, it will be okay for you to use magic." Harry nodded trying to hind his excitement. Once he left the room, he let it out.

Harry almost ran to the Gryffindor common room. When he got to the Fat Lady he realized he didn't know the password and had no way of getting in. He stood there trying to think if he had been told what it was, but had no luck, he had never been told.

"Mr. Potter, the password is 'red ruby.' Sorry we for got to tell you this. The password will change next week. I will tell you then what it is. And you will be informed what the password for Dumbledore's office as well. We want you to be able to see him at any time. Have a good night Potter." Harry gave the Fat Lady the password and said good night to Professor McGonagall before disappearing into the common room.

The fire in the common room was already lit and roaring. He sat down in a chair near the fire. I felt odd being there all alone, but he was happy all the same.

After sitting there for a while, he went up to his dorm room and got into bed. With one last thought of being happy to be there, he fell a sleep.
