Chapter six ~ The reply.
Harry was half way through breakfast when the letter came. Hedwig dropped it in front of him, snatched some food of the table and flew off to the owlery,. Harry stared at the bundle for a few moments before picking it up and carefully ripping it open. It was a long letter and Remus had clearly taken a long time to write to him.
"I'm going to read it in the common room." He muttered to Hermione and Ron, and left the great hall.
He almost ran to the Gryfindor common room.
Settling down in a chair by the fire (which wasn't on, of course) and opened out the letter.
Dear Harry,
I hope school is okay, Minerva told me about your wish to become an auror, it is a lot of work, but definitely worth it, and if that's what you want to do, then I'll certainly help you. so will Tonks. It's very sad here, every where I turn, every nook and cranny is full to the brim with painful memories. The Order is very busy at the moment, what with all the disappearances and deaths, trying to cover up magic from the muggles and hunting death eaters. But I suppose it is best to keep busy.
I am glad Calico Delvarney is teaching you, she has a heart of gold that woman, you couldn't have a better teacher, well apart from me! No matter what you hear about her Harry, it's not true, rumours that's all. She is one of those people who are usually in the wrong place at the wrong time, that's all.
Now about Snape, you're right of course when you say you have a right to know what is going on concerning Voldemort, but the mystery around Snape is mainly a private affair. And I'd hate to give out his secrets against his wishes, he, as does everyone, deserves privacy. But I'll tell you what I can, you may know some of it.
Snape joined Voldemort when he was seventeen, at the time him and Calico were going out, and had been for almost two years. Do not judge them, they did it for what they thought were the right reasons, and I suppose their backgrounds had something to do with it. but the main thing is, is that they joined Voldemort.
Snape had a sister, Rayola. She was several years older then him. she didn't join. Calico and Snape soon left Voldemort and returned to Dumbledore, acting as spies. It was just after Sirius was sent to Azkaban that Tamarisk was arrested for murder and connection with Voldemort. Calico thought it was Snape who commited the murder and they sperated. She married Lord Adien Delvarney, and had Everst. The point is that Dumbleodre asked them to consider returning as spies.
So they did, and what they did was extrememly dangerous. They risk their lives everytime they feel the dark mark burn. Lord Aiden is also a death eater and a very jealous man. When he saw that Snape and Calico were friendly he squealed to the dark lord about the mistake Snape made on his last mission. He was supposed to be fetching Everest to Voldemort, but she disappeared before he got there. Well, Voldemort wasn't happy, and you can guess what happened.
It's a good job Calico was there, but they are planning another break out from Azkaban, this time of the death eaters caught in the department of myseteries. They are also planning an attack on Hogwarts, so I am warning you to take extra care Harry, please. And don't mention this to anyone, apart from Ron and Hermione, I don't want to be responsoble for a panic. But you must listen carefully to Calico, she is one of the best to teach you to defend yourself. Practise your skills, expand them. And don't do anything rash.
Moony.
Harry was some what disappointed with the response, surely he could have guessed most of it. But Delvarney was a death eater! Okay so maybe there were a few things he didn't know in the letter. He pondered on the idea of telling Hermione and Ron or leaving them in the dark. He didn't even hear the bell as it rang through the castle. It was only when he looked at his watch he jumped up. He was ten minutes late to class.
