Chapter 5 The Letters
Harry woke thee next morning to the smell of eggs, bacon, pancakes, and toast. There must have been about one hundred galleons of food in the Burrow. Naturally, Ron had chosen B&B.
"Hey Ron, what time is it?"
"Nearly eight" Ron said. Harry woke up with a start at that moment.
"Why are you up?" Harry was wondering if Ron knew there was a time this early.
"Well, I never really went to bed."
"Why?"
"I was With Hermione", he said dreamily. Harry suddenly felt sorry. He realized that for a while, he was going to be left out. Ron and Hermione would go to Hogsmeaded together, and he'd be stuck with Dean and Seamus. Harry turned his head away. Just then, Hermione popped in.
"I'm gonna get p now, see you later", said Harry with a desperate need to leave the two alone. He rose up and walked past Hermoine, and descended the stairs. Ginny and Nina were sitting at the table eating breakfast.
"Good morning," said Nina. Ginny then picked up where she left of, " Hogwarts letters have arrived."
"Thanks", Harry said before picking his letter up and opened it to find two extra sheets of paper. There was the usual book list. It read:
Book List
Standard Book of Spells Grade Six By Miranda Goshwak
Magical Defense, the Theory to Fighting Published Notes By Godric Gryffindor
The Art of Apparation By Grieslda Marchbanks
Your ticket is enclosed. The train will leave promptly at elven o'clock. We expect you there,
Minerva McGonagall
The second piece of paper was also from the head of Gryffindor house.
Dear Mr. Potter,
Due to your excellent performance as Gryffindor seeker for the past five years, it is my honor to not only reinstate you to the Quidditch team, but make you quidditch captain. There will be a mandatory meeting directly after the Welcoming Feast. I want that trophy in my office again. Don't make me regret this Potter, Professor McGonagall
Harry was so happy that he shouted it out loud, "I am quidditch captain!"
Nina and Ginny gave their, "Congratulations!" as Ron and Hermione came down and gave their, "It had better not interfere with your studies", and, "BLOODY BRILLIANT!" But Harry was amazed at the fact that he was quidditch captain. He had never really thought about it between Neville's insanity and Sirius' trial. He looked down and picked up the other letter while everyone else was settling down, It read:
Harry:
Due to the prophecy and Voldemort's return, I want you to start to train. Sirius will help. I will teach what you were taught last year. These extra classes will not interfere with quidditch. The rest of the DA is welcome to join in. Don't tell anyone until I give the okay.
Congratulations on the Captaincy,
Professor Dumbledore
Harry had to re-read that letter several times before the meaning sunk in. They were going to train him to be a murderer.
"You think there is gonna be an apparating course?" asked Ron
"From the looks of the book list? Yeah", said Harry discarding the letter.
"But, what about the wards on the school?"
"Honestly, are you lot ever going to read "Hogwarts, a History"?"
"No", replied Harry and Ron together.
"The wards prevent people from apparating in. But if you are already inside, you can apparate. That is if a teacher says you can specifically", recited Hermione, seeming pleased with herself. At that moment Mrs. Weasly came in.
"Congratulations on the Captaincy. Dumbledore just told me. I was at an emergency Order meeting. Something terrible has happened. You-Know-Who has just taken over the terrorist organization, Al –Quedia. He has also taken over the Iraqi and Afghanistan Ministries. So, I want you o watch out for any weird looking Middle-Eastern types." Everyone nodded in response to Mrs. Weasly's report and then she continued, "If you give me your keys and lists, I'll get your school things."
With that, everyone gave Mrs. Weasly their things. Ro then gave a pathetic scream when he saw Hermione, in two different placs
