Chapter 2

Eight chairs were set up in a circle in the middle of the room but three were empty. Jessyka and MacGonagall had slowly followed the group to catch up on the last two years when they last saw each other.

But Harry didn't know who filled the last.

Once the one that were there had settled them selves Dumbledore looked kindly over to Harry "How have you been, my boy"

Harry knew that Dumbledore was asking how he was dealing with last year's events. "I'm doing ok, but it still hurts."

Dumbledore gave him a small smile "Quite understandable, Harry. That pain will always be there, but will lessen over time. Because time heals most wounds."

Just then the door opened and Jessyka, MacGonagall and Severus Snape walked in, followed by a very familiar house-elf carrying a tray with butterbeer and muffins.

"Harry Potter!" The house-elf exclaimed before throwing the tray into the air.

Dobby run to Harry, jumped on his chest, which sent the chair backwards to the ground. Harry was laying were he fell and Dobby was sitting on Harry's chest "Harry came back to Hogwarts early. Dobby's very happy to see you, sir"

"I'm glad to see you too, Dobby" Then Harry looked around the room.

When Dobby had thrown the tray thrown the tray into the air everyone reacted. Hagrid, Sirius, Lupin and Snape who went to catch the butterbeer but collided with Jessyka and MacGonagall.

Dumbledore was the only one who stayed in his chair and pulled out his wand and used Wingardium Leviosa to stop the tray from falling, then used Accio to bring the tray to the table. By the looks of it, Dumbledore was having a hard time trying not to laugh. "If you all want to take your seats, might we continue? While everyone was getting up and resuming their seats, Dumbledore walked over to Harry and lifted his seat back up with Harry and Dobby still on it. Dobby ended up sliding in Harry's lap.

"I never new a house-elf could cause so much trouble, until now." Lupin said as he eased himself into the chair next to Harry. Sirius was on the other side of Harry. Followed by Jessyka, MacGonagall, Hagrid, Snap then Dumbledore.

"Well, Dobby is one of a kind." Harry said as he looked down at the house- elf nestled in his lap.

"Now, Harry, tell us why you are here."

Harry looked over at Jessyka who nodded. "I was kicked out of the Dursley's and decided to come here and I ended up running into Jessyka who gave me a lift on Coal."

"Why were you crashin' to the ground?" This came from Hagrid

"That was my fault," said Jessyka "I asked Coal to show off a bit and ended up being the one to be showed off to"

"Coal's a lot better then my firebolt. Can I use him instead of my broomstick for Quidditch?"

Sirius and Lupin burst out laughing and almost falling out off their seats with it. Snape was shaking his head and hiding his smile and everyone else was smiling freely.

Lupin was gasping for breath "You're just like your father."

"And Lily." Sirius said, calming down "Defiantly Lily."

Snape had also calmed down and was looking from Harry to Jessyka, reading their minds. Suddenly he had a look of pure hatred on his face and looked ready to kill. Sirius was the first to notice "Severus, what's up?" Sirius defences were up and was ready to fight if need be.

Jessyka was studying Snape's face and smiled "Is that what I looked like when you told me, Harry?"

"Pretty much" Harry said causally "But your eye turned black and you weren't shooting dagger"

Everyone was looking at the three if they had grown another head.

"Does this mean that my theory of you being a mind reader was correct?" Harry asked Snape innocently. Snape, amazingly, blushed which made him even more anger.

"Will someone please explain what's going on between use three?" Lupin enquired.

"I will tell," Jessyka said "But first tell me how much did you like Lily?"

"Everyone loved Lily, Jessyka. What kind of a question is that?" Minerva asked.

"That's all I need to know. Can I have everyone's wands please?"

Complaints and protest came from each side of the room.

"Why do you want our wands Jessyka?" Dumbledore asked calmly

"I know my temper, I know Harry's. Snape over there can barely hold on to his, so this is just for safety. Harry?"

Harry and Jessyka got up and collected everyone's wands and placed tem on the desk. Jessyka then wrote on some parchment and gave it to Dumbledore's phoenix, Fawks. "Give this to them once we leave."

Then Jessyka, Harry and Dobby run from the room down the stairs and out the secret door where the statue closed behind them.

"Harry, can you show me to the owlery?"

"Sure, this way." As they made there way down the hallway, Dobby said his good byes and went back to the kitchen. They paused for a moment when they heard a lot of shouting, then kept going but a little faster then before.

In the owlery, Jessyka wrote a letter to her sister saying;

Dear Katte,

How are you? I'm good. I'm in England at the moment visiting Aunt Minerva. She well but has a few more lines since we last saw her

There has been a lot happening here. There have been more sightings of Death Eaters, but it has been kept under wraps so not many people know and nearly everyone is ill prepared for an attack

I ran into someone today (Harry Potter) and we're staying at Hogwarts at the moment and I was wondering if you would care to join us and lend us your ingenuity because I have a felling we might need it. I'll explain when you get here

Your sister Jessyka

As Jessyka was writing the letter, Harry was looking at the owls, whishing Hedwig was there. As he made his way down, an owl flow down onto his shoulder and bite his ear.

"Ouch," Harry turned his head and looked at the owl "Hedwig!" Harry exclaimed

Jessyka run down to Harry "Are you alright, Harry?"

"Yes, I'm great. Hedwig managed to escape the Dursley's"

"What an intelligent owl. You're very lucky to have her."

Hedwig puffed out her chest with pride

"Can you deliver this for me Hedwig?"

Hedwig squawked and held out her leg for Jessyka tied it to her before she flow away.

"How long will it take for your sister to get here?" Harry asked

"I don't know. She moves around a lot. I hardly get to see her anymore. Last I heard from here she was in Greece on a vampire case."

"Vampire"

"She is happy with her job, so who is it for me to tell her what to do, just because I scared she might became one. Actually I think she wouldn't be much different if she did became one"

Even though she said it in a sisterly banter, there was sadness in her eyes. "You miss her don't you" It was a statement not a question

"So much that I don't know how I breathe sometimes."

After they left the owlery they went to the kitchen for something to eat. On their back from the kitchen they came upon the group in the entrance hall. Auguring.

Dumbledore was standing off to the side trying not to laugh at their antics.

They made their way over to him and asked him what they were auguring about.

"All different things" Dumbledore said "They're auguring which one of them going to get Miss Granger. They're auguring who's going to get the Weasley's. They're auguring who's going into the forest to catch it out. They're auguring who's going to the Dursley's to get your stuff and who's going to get revenge on them.

He said it so casually; that it sounded like this happened everyday.

"I can resolve this" Jessyka said. She pulled out her wand and started to weave a spell. "Accio Potter Mebilarbus Belongings Waddasi." As she finished the spell there was a loud crash and the door burst open, bring in luggage, which land right in front of Harry. "One problem solved" Jessyka said as she put away her wand

Dumbledore nodded "Thank you, Jessyka." He turned to the rest of them. "Now, Hagrid I want you check out the forest and see what you can find. Severus, I want you and Sirius to go and collect Miss Granger. Minerva, I want you and Remus to go collect the Weasley's"
