Chapter 2

"Dear Mister Potter! How nice of you to drop in, so expectedly!"
Harry looked up to see the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry descending the front hall stairs. The outside of Dumbledore's house was completely misleading. Harry couldn't believe that the crumbling old exterior and the practically clean, and nothing broken interior formed the same house. "Quite amazing how a simple little deaging spell can do for the interior of a house." Dumbledore said, practically reading Harry's mind "This house has been in my family for years. If fact it was my brother's house up until he got in a spot of trouble with the Ministry of Magic."
"It's amazing!" Harry said as he perused the front hall. There was a grand spiral staircase, marble flooring. Golden accents along the walls and the ceiling. A huge chandelier hung from the second story ceiling. "Enough pleasantries, the meeting has already started. Follow me!" "Umm. Professor? I didn't know about any meeting, I just came because of my dreams are getting worse." Harry said quietly. "I know about your dreams, and I knew you would come to see me. That's why I gave you my address at the beginning of summer vacation. And that's why I planned a meeting for tonight."
Harry felt like a fool. Dumbledore had to be psychic or something, he always knew these things. Harry followed Dumbledore up the stairs and down the left side passageway. As they approached the third door, Dumbledore spoke the magic password, "Carpe Diem" and opened the door. Once inside the room, various people who knew Harry waved or called out to him. He saw Tonks, Moody, and Mr. and Mrs. Weasly. This must really be a important meeting, he thought. "Harry!" He turned to see his best friend Hermione rushing up to give him a hug. "What are you doing here? Sorry about not writing much this summer, I've had quite a lot of bad events." Hermione blushed and began to tear at the eyes, causing Harry instantly to feel guilty, he hadn't really bothered to write any of his friends either, but what did she mean by 'bad events'? "There, there Hermione! It's awlright now. Everythin's gonna be awlright." Hagrid said coming over to her and giving hr a great big hug. "Howya doin' Harry! Good to see ya!" He smiled, and Harry couldn't help but smile.
