"Harry," Professor McGonnagal said. "I can't tell you what has been going on, I have been instructed not to. I am sorry Harry, Dumbledore will tell you eventually but not now."
"Ok, well..." Harry said his temper rising steadly. "Well, why is it always me that is left out? Why does everyone else always know what is going on and I don't?"
"Harry, there are just somethings that you need not know. I would tell you if I could, but I can't."
Harry got up from his chair and stormed out of the room. He told the fat lady the password and stormed up to the boys dormitory. It was very late and Harry's anger was still rising. Suddenly he noticed as he stared at Hedwig's cage that he hadn't seen Hedwig for several weeks. He hadn't even brought her to Hogwarts with him. Harry's anger turned to alertness and sadness. He remembered what Dumbledore had said, he said that all the owls found outside where shot down by muggles. He got out of bed and stared out of the window, he couldn't see an owl anywhere. He turned to his bed and buried his face in his pillow, and a silent tear ran down his cheek. It was several hours before he got to sleep, and when he finally did the sun was up and so was his hunger.
Harry layed in bed for several minutes. He got up stretched and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. He changed into clean clothes and walked do to the Great Hall. There was a single table set up in the middle of the hall. Several teachers where sitting at it eating and talking merrily. Harry went over to the table and sat down quietly and began to eat.
Several of the teachers said to Harry, "Goo' Mornin' 'Arry," with unchewed food in their mouths.
Harry grabbed some toast and left the teachers, who hadn't even noticied he had gone. He walked up to the dorm and sat down at a chair by the unstarted fire. He stared into the fireplace for sometime eating his toast.
Harry heard a tremendous BANG!, he shot up out of the chair and pulled out his wand from his belt and walked to the window.
