Chapter Four: The Letter

After he had finished eating dinner with the Weasleys, he, Harry, lied on his back in what supposedly was now his bedroom. He however was feeling a little bit odd as although out dinner, he kept looking at Ginny across the table. His heart raced in his chest as he couldn't help that his feelings for her had suddenly arose. But he didn't want to admit that to her... at least not at this moment.

His thoughts then shifted to the dream he had a few nights ago. The dream Lord Voldemort finally defeating him and then killing him in the end. Harry's stomach gave an unpleasant lurch about the thought of once he, himself, had been killed. Another though suddenly streamed in. What happens if he, Voldemort, did kill him? How would the fate of the wizarding world as well as all the witches and wizard, muggleborns, half bloods, and purebloods alike change?

If Voldemort does come into power and kill me, Harry thought, then he might destory all who are muggleborns and possibly muggles who cross his path. "I can't allow it to happen," he whispered to himself. Then he looked over at his trunk. He got up from his bed, walk over, and opened it. He took out the letter from Sirius. Should I read it or not, he thought. Without further thinking, he opened the letter and read it:

Dear Harry,

From what I can tell is that this is not a very good sign. As you very well know, Voldemort is continuing to rise and it's only a matter of time before he's in total power. I received a letter from Dumbledore not to long after you sent him a letter, and it looks like it has gotten much worse than the last time you came in contact with him. Why he's after you, I can't really say for certain. All I know is as he grows stronger and more hateful, your scar will burn more terribly. Write to me soon if your scar burns again and if you have another dream similar to the one you had. Be safe.

-Sirius

Harry put the letter away and sank back in his bed. He put his hand over his face at the thought of what Voldemort might do to him. He kept thinking about Sirius had said in the letter, about as Voldemort grows stronger and hateful, his scar with continue to burn. I know I stopped him from killing me as a baby but what other connection to I have? he thought. Could that be the reason he wants to kill me in the first place. Feeling worn out, Harry got into his pajamas and went to be. It was another three hours of thinking about Sirius's letter, before he actually fell asleep restlessly.
