Chapter 2

Who died?

     On the day of his birthday at 8:00am Harry got up and packed his things: his cauldron, robes, text books, and, the most important things he owned, a map of Hogwarts and an invisibility cloak. By the time he went downstairs for breakfast it was 8:30.

At long last, Mrs. Weasely pulled in the drive. Fred and Gorge accompanied by Ron shoved themselves out the tiny door. After they gathered Harry's belongings, he too got into the van. Mrs. Weasely's Face showed no sign of cheery welcome, but a frown that Harry could not explain. On the way Mrs. Weasely interrupted Ron and Harry's conversation.

"Did you boys hear what happened at school" she stammered.

"No," said Fred, Gorge, Harry, and Ron in unison.

"Quite unfortunate really," she added.

"Oh mum, get out with it," said Fred in anticipation.

"Well there has been a death," she answered in one breath.

"What? Who? How?" said Harry's voice in disbelief.

"I'll give you boys the details when we get home," Mrs. Weasley said, bringing a definite end to the discussion.

The rest of the ride they conversed about who had died and how. Harry wondered more who than how. It could have been countless people: Dumbledore, a student, a teacher, anyone. When they got to the Burrow they clambered out of the car.

`"We'll have to wait till Arthur gets home to talk about this. Until then, you boys get Harry's things up to Ronald's room," Mrs. Weasley barked.

On the way up to Ron's room, Harry asked, "Who do you think died?"

"Don't know," said Ron, "But it has to be someone close to the family to get mum this upset."

"Well if it's a teacher, Dumbledore's going to have a hard time replacing them. He has enough trouble getting a new DADA teacher every year," Harry commented.

No sooner did Harry and Ron get up to Ron's room, they heard Mrs. Weasley's voice call them down. It was time to find out what they'd been wondering since the car ride, who died?
