Dumbledore dissaperated, and Harry was left sitting up in his bed, dumbfounded. He wasn't expecting this, he obviously knew that Voldemort was after him, but he didn't think that all this would happen. He heard his Uncle snort in the next room. He just had a thought, he wouldn't get to see Ron and Hermione this summer if he had to stay at the Dursley's.

"Argh!" Harry said quietly, so he wouldn't wake the Dursley's. Harry looked at Hedwig's cage and remembered that he had sent her to Ron's house. Then he remembered what Dumbledore said about all owls outside where to be shot down. Harry gasped and looked out the window hoping to see Hedwig flying toward his window. He saw nothing of the sort. He was desperate to know more on the subject. Why hadn't Dumbledore told me more? he thought to himself.

September first came and went, and he was still at the Dursley's. No letter from Hogwarts, no communication with any wizards or witches. He knew that whatever was going on was bad, terrible, it had to be.

Later on in the evening Dumbledore, again appeared at the end of Harry's bed. Although this time was different.

"Harry, I have come to take you back to Hogwarts so you don't have to spend the rest of the year here. No one else will be there except the teachers. I know you will be safe there," said Dumbledore. "We must leave now, collect your things and meet me by the fireplace.

Harry did as he was told and collected his things and met Dumbledore downstairs by the fireplace.

"Have you got everything?" said Dumbledore.

"I think so," said Harry.

"Ok then," said Dumbledore and the threw some floo powder into the fire and yelled, "The Three Broomsticks!" Harry stepped into the fire after Dumbledore, and he was spinning.

Harry fell to the floor of the the Three Broomsticks. He stood up and brushed ashes and dirt off of him.

Dumbledore said the Harry, "Obviously, we couldn't have traveled my floo powder to the inside of Hogwarts. So I thought the Three Boormsticks would be a nice place to land." Dumbledore began walking to the door to the outside, Harry followed dragging his trunk behind him. They made their way up the Hogwarts steps and dissapeared inside of the massive castle.
