-Chapter One-

The Extra Year

Harry Potter lived at 4 Privet drive since he was dropped off there, into the care of his aunt and uncle so many years ago. However, it had been nearly 18 years since and Harry was getting ready to apply for the job of Auror at the ministry. He grabbed his wand and put his robes in a plastic shopping bag and hopped down the stairs as he was about to leave the house- "POTTER!!!", Uncle Vernon screamed, "GET IN HERE!!", Harry walked into the kitchen slowly and Harry instantly saw the problem. A firey red owl, which Harry found looked familiar, was stooped on the fridge, a letter with char marks on it lay on the floor. When Harry approached the Owl gave a wink and disappeared into a burst of flames.. Harry reasoned that Dumbledore must have bewitched Fawkes (a phoenix) to appear as an owl. Harry picked up the letter and looked towards his "family". There stood Aunt Petunia looking pale as ever, Uncle Vernon with a dangerously high looking blood preasure.. and Dudley. Now going on to 4 Buttocks just as he hit 467 Pounds. Harry picked up the letter and read to himself slowly..

Dear Mr.Potter,

We are sorry to inform you but as of August 29th, 2004 it has been decided that you and your fellow graduates will be returning to Hogwarts for an eighth year, this is the decision of the Ministry of Magic, Cornelius Fudge , he feels that there is an abundance of students wishing to be Aurors but as Voldemort has been destroyed for hopefully a last time new subjects are needed to be taught as new dark creatures have been sighted recently,

Sincerely,

Albus Dumbledore, Minerva Mcgonnagal and Severus Snape.

Harry looked over the letter 4 or 5 times before sliding down the fridge and landing onto the floor. He was incredibly angry. "Stupid Fudge." he thought..

He went to his room, slammed the door and began to pack his wizarding things.
