Chapter 7: The Surprise.
It was the next day when Harry woke up, feeling sick. Ron was fast asleep yet. So Harry got up, stretched and walked over to the bathroom. A few minutes later Ron woke up to find Harry feeding Hedwig.
"Harry, Good morning." Ron yawned.
"Morning Ron."
Just then, the twins Fred and George came running in.
"Do come down you two, theres a big surprise down in the Great Hall." Fred yelled as he ran after George going back downstairs.
Ron and Harry thought it was going to be one of their jokes again. But it wasn't. Hermione found them and pulled them over. They saw Flitwick, Dumbledore, and Professor McGonagall standing in a line.
"Ok you'z three. Which one'a yeh?" Hagrid said angrly.
"Harry, They know about Voldemort!" Hermione said.
"Tiz not I Hagrid, I don't like causing destruction." Flitwick said helplessly. Hagrid knew better then it to be Flitwick.
"You're excuse Professor."
Flitwick went running into the crowd next to Susan Bones.
"Hagrid, Surly it isn't me. I mean, look at me. I'm normal." Dumbledore said in a shrug.
"Lieing." Malfoy said aloud.
"That's enough Mr. Malfoy." Professor McGonagall said.
"You're excused professor. You seem normal." Hagrid jestered.
"It can't be!" Hermione said in pain.
Everyone stared up afront. Not knowing of what was going to happen next. Nobody thought it could of been who Hagrid had picked out. Hermione held Harrys arm as she thought seen a tear shead from his eye.
"Professor Dumbledore Sir, I send you to Azkaban." Hagrid announced.
Harry felt a rush on anger fill his heart. He knew it wasn't Dumbledore. It couldn't be. He knew Voldemort was scared of Dumbledore. So where would he get the courage to stand next to Dumbledore let alone a foot. Hermione started crying. She knew what Harry was thinking. Ron just looked horrified.
"Not possible." Ron said putting his hand on Harry's shoulder.
"I know, but why would this be great?" Harry asked as Snape walked up.
"About time they found you know who." He said. Harry felt his fear just pouring from his mouth.
Flitwick appeared next to Hermione.
"It's ok dear. They'll only keep him until he confesses." He said sadly.
"Come on Harry." Ron said pulling him by the steps.
Harry followed. Hermione after. Ginny seemed sad once she found out. Hogwarts just wasn't the same after that. Everyone was sadder than usual. Except the Slytherins. They seemed happy that Snape was replaced for Dumbledore.The rules changed also. There was a time where everyone had to come in. A study scedual which Hermione just couldn't get used to.
"It's to strict to be called Hogwarts anymore Harry." Hermione said plainly.
"This calls for my dad's invisibility cloak." Harry replied.
Harry and Hermione ran upstairs finding Ron.
"I know." Ron said.
They got under the invisibility cloak. Carefully walking outside through the misty air. All the way to Hagrids hut. They knocked until Hagrid finally answered.
"Hagrid, do you think it was really Dumbledore?" Harry asked.
"No, no I dun Harry. I picked teh least ter know. They'd let him out soon enough." Hagrid replied.
"When will he be back?" Hermione asked.
"I dunno bout that one sweetheart." Hagrid said sadly.
Harry felt his scar rush with a burning sensation. "Come on guys. Hagrid must want some privacy to himself." Harry said getting back under the cloak.
They left Hagrids hut and went back to the Common Room.
"Harry, why did we leave so early?" Hermione asked.
"My scar burned and it was when we was at Hagrids." Harry replied.
"Do you think it's Hagrid?" Ron asked silently.
"No, but I think Voldemort's in Hagrids house. We have to warn him." Harry said excitedly.
"Not now, It's late. We have to go to bed." Hermione said running up to her dorm.
Harry didn't sleep that night.He wondered why his scar would burn in Hagrid's. He thought he would be safe in there. Seeing that Hagrid saved him from the time once before. Hagrid knew something. Harry just couldnt place his finger on it. Ron woke up and walked over to Harry.
"Harry, look into the laventory mirror." Ron whispered like he'd just seen a spider.
Harry walked over and looked into the mirror. A face appeared. A cloud of blackness followed it. Harry knew this face. He felt the rush of air. It was none other than Voldemort.
"Hello Harry." The face whispered.
Harry knew, he knew who it was.
"Young Harry Potter, still alive. You should be dead boy. Dead with your poor parents." He whispered again.
"Never!" Harry said trying to run.
A force had him not to move. Soon then, he started shaking.
"Harry, HARRY!" Ron yelled.
"What!?" Harry sat up.
"Harry, you were screaming. What was it?" Ron looked at him.
"I had a dream, I was awake. And you woke up and told me to go look into the mirror," Harry said.
"I went and looked. There and then Voldemort was there whispering that I need to be dead." Harry shook.
"You're ok Harry. It's about 8:00 AM. Hermione's probably awake." Ron said.
Harry put new clothes on. Ron was already dressed. He woke up from Harry's screaming. They walked downstairs. Into potions. To find Hermione working with the class.
"Why are you late?" Snaped asked.
"It's only 8:00AM." Ron said.
"No, it's actually 12:00 PM." Snape said confused.
"My clock said 8." Ron demanded.
"Change it to the right time later. Sit down." Snape said.
Class went on. Just because the two were late, that took off 5 points for Gryffindor. Hermione was bold enough to ask if Snape just plainly hated Gryffindor. That took nothing off because Hermiones Snape's favourite student.
"Hermione, Harry had a dream about You know who." Ron said.
"Does anyone else know?" Hermione whispered.
"Not that I know of." Ron said.
Harry sat through the rest of the class thinking about what the dream meant. Thinking whether it was just another orb telling him to watch out for another sign. Ron wrote him notes to keep checking up on him. Harry was ok. He knew he was. He just didn't know what was going on, or whether his mum and dad are trying to warn him from above. After class, Harry and Hermione took each others hips. Seeing that they were a couple they'd see no problem in doing so. Ron walked on the other side of Harry.
"Harry, do you think finals will actually be easy this year?" Ron asked.
"No, their never easy unless you study." Harry shrugged.
They walked into the common room to see a new post on the message board.
"A dance?!" Ron said excited.
"Yeah, Hermione?" Harry asked.
"Sure." Hermione said happily.
"Harry, the dance is tonight!" Ron said running to find Susan.
It was about 2 hours later that Harry decided to get dressed. Harry and Ron both went down the stairs to meet their dates. Hermione Granger and Susan Bons. Harry was delighted to see Hermione in a dress. Ron was outstanded just to see that Susan had come. They escourted their dates into the Great Hall. Where the dance was being placed. Draco was with Parvati. Crabbe and Goyle came alone.
"Hermione, care to dance?" Harry asked shyly.
"Sure." She replied.
They began to slow dance. Hermione pulled over to whisper in Harry's ear.
"Listen up Harry, Susan have something in mind to ruin Ron. She doesn't like him all that much so she's going to dance with someone far more sophisticated." Hermione trailed off as Krum had his hand on her shoulder.
"Viktor!" Hermione said excitedly giving him a hug.
"Hermione." Viktor said happily.
"Harry, I know we've been together for a while. But I wonder if we can be just friends. I mean, I like you, but I like Viktor too." Hermione said sadly.
Harry ran for Ron. Ron was found sitting plainly on the chair in the corner.
"She, she dumped me Harry." Ron choked.
"Hermione dumped me." Harry said about to cry.
"It's ok mate. You can do alot better you know?" Ron said and let Harry sit down on the chair.
"I guess." Harry looked up to see Hermione slow dancing with Viktor happily.
15 minutes later Blaine had asked Harry to dance. Harry accepted. Colin asked a new Slytherin, Ashley, to dance. She accepted as well.
"I think my brother fancys Ashley." Blaine said looking at them.
"Yeah. Finally he's off my case." Harry laughed. That night, Ashley and Colin got together. Harry fancied Blaine. The dance was finally over and the students were heading for bed.
"Goodnight Blaine." Harry said giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"Goodnight Harry."HaH
