They were happily eating breakfast when they heard a loud bang. It seemed to come from one of the neighboring houses.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP THERE?" thundered Uncle Vernon.
"Oh, God! Vernon! It's not them! Look outside!" Said Aunt Petunia's very frightened voice.
Harry rushed to the window and looked out. He could see a house in ruins down the street. Wait...that was Mrs. Figg's house! He gasped as suddenly the Dark Mark rose up into the sky, not as bright as it would have been at night, but you could still see it clearly. The others practically ran to the window too when they heard Harry gasp. Ginny clutched Harry's arm as she saw the Dark Mark and the house in ruins. Ron's skin paled and Cho's mouth dropped open. Fred and George looked extremely grave.
"That was Mrs. Figg." Said Harry faintly. Ginny bit her lip.
"Should we do something?" she asked frantically.
"No." said George firmly, looking at Fred.
"We have to stay in this house." Said Fred, equally firm.
Harry sighed.
"Yeah, I know, Dumbledore's orders" he said mockingly.
Ron looked sternly at him.
"Promise you won't go out of this house, Harry."
Harry sighed yet again, looking sad. "I pro-"
"CRACK!"
"CRACK!"
Harry was certain somebody has just Apparated, and by the sound of it, it were two people. The door burst open and in came Severus Snape and Remus Lupin.
They just looked at each other for a short while.
"What are you doing here?" asked Harry finally.
Snape looked at him.
"We were just coming to make sure all of you were safe." Said Lupin.
"Arabella Figg's house has just been destroyed by Death Eaters." Added Snape unnecessarily.
"Yes, I sensed that." Said Harry. Snape pretended he didn't hear him.
~Snape looked different somehow~ thought Harry~..but what was different? His hair was still greasy, he was still wearing black robes, he still had the same face-wait his expression was different. It wasn't sneering or mad or smirking. It was a worried expression. Haha! Snape was worried, now that's something I never thought I'd see.~
His thoughts were interrupted by Fred.
"Why did they attack her?"
Lupin sighed.
"I think they're trying to get Harry out of the house." He said wearily.
"And they think by killing all the people he knows, Harry will come out and do one of his famous rescue-missions." Said Snape, just as wearily.
Wait.did Snape just call me Harry? Harry thought. ~ Merlin, the world's most amazing miracle just happened! What will happen next? Will the sky fall on us? Will Malfoy decide he likes Hermione? Haha.or maybe.old Voldie will change his mind about taking over the world and decide he likes dancing ballet with pink elephants and."~
Ginny and Ron suddenly laughed. Harry looked around. Had he been talking aloud? Lupin and Snape stared angrily at Ginny and Ron, as if asking why killing people was funny. Ron and Ginny noticed and stopped in mid-laugh.
"Sorry Professors," said Ginny "We were just thinking about a joke Fred had just told us." Ron nodded. Fred looked confused, he hadn't told a joke.had he? He shrugged his shoulders.
Snape and Lupin looked at each other (~What?! They're acting like friends!~ thought Harry) and shrugged too.
"Well, we best be going then." Said Lupin, waving toward the door.
"Don't go out of the house, any of you, and we will tell your family not to go out either, Harry, that we will send food and everything they need."
"Especially your aunt and you musn't go outside, because if she gets killed, the bond between you and her will be broken." Said Snape seriously.
~Without smirking? He actually sounds concerned!~ Thought Ginny suprisedly. Harry chuckled. Ginny looked at him. ~Did I speak out loud?~ She wondered. ~Yes Ginny, you are speaking out loud.~ Thought Harry sarcastically. Ginny looked at Fred, who was still looking at Lupin. He hadn't hear anything, apparently.
"Well, what are we supposed to do then, if we can't go outside?" asked George, looking incredulous.
Lupin smiled.
"I'm sure you'll find something." He said before Disapparating with a CRACK. Snape nodded at them and Disapparated too.
Harry turned to Ginny and Ron.
"What was so funny?"
"You said something about 'Old Voldie dancing ballet with pink elephants'" said Ginny, as if that was obvious.
"No he didn't." replied Cho, looking confused.
"Yes he did." Argued Ron.
"No he didn't!"
"Yes, he did!"
"NO!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"I said yes!"
"And I said no!"
"We hear him say it!"
"Well, we didn't!"
"Then you are all deaf."
"No we're not! You two are imagining things!"
"Of course not!"
"Of course yes!"
"SHUT UP!" shouted Harry.
They all quieted, still shooting daggers at each other. ~ Merlin, they can get on my nerves!~ Thought Harry silently.
~Harry could have been a bit nicer~ thought Ginny grumpily. Harry looked at her.
"There was no other way to stop you from arguing." He answered. Ginny looked at him.
"I didn't say anything."
"Yes, you said "Harry could have been a bit nicer."
"No, I was thinking that."
~I'm getting absolutely confused, if she didn't say anything, how could I have heard it?~ Thought Harry.
Fred, George, Cho and Ginny were all looking puzzedly at him.
"I never said anything." Ginny repeated.
"Yes you did."
"No, I was thinking that, but I never said it."
"But I hear it. How could I have heard it if you didn't say it aloud?"
Ginny looked at him, and suddenly a dawn of comprehension came upon her face.
"I-I think I understand!" she said excitedly.
"Oh! Oh! Please tell, Ginnykins!" exclaimed Fred in a high voice, jumping up and down. Ginny glared at him. ~God Fred! Shut up for a moment!~ She thought. Harry grinned at her.
"I think Harry can do telepathy." She proclaimed proudly.
Harry snorted, but the rest looked wondering.
"You know, I think you're right." Said Ron, beaming at Ginny.
"Well, let's try it out then." Said George. "Try to understand what I'm thinking, Harry!"
~Tralala.Harry loves Ginny, Ginny loves Harry, they both love each other.~ George thought."Oh shut up, George." Said Harry.
"He wasn't saying anything." Said Cho.
"Yes he was singing actually, 'tralala Harry loves Ginny, Ginny loves Harry, they both love each other."
George clapped.
"Very good! Harry, you are indeed telepathic."
Harry was stunned.
"How come I'm only telepathic now?"
~I wish Hermione was here~ thought Ron ~she knows everything.and I miss her~.
"Yeah, I wished so too, Ron." Replied Harry.
"I didn't say anything."
"Well, see, Harry, there's proof. You can read thoughts of others and send your own thoughts." Said Cho, impressed.
Harry decided to try something. He thought about Dumbledore.
~Professor Dumbledore?~
Way of in Hogwarts, in Dumbledore's room. Dumbledore was looking in his pensieve. Suddenly he heard something in his mind.
~Professor Dumbledore?~
~Harry? Is that you?~ he thought.
Harry was surprised when he heard Professor Dumbledore in his head.
~Yes Professor. I'm here at the Dursleys, and it seems I can read thoughts and send thoughts.~
~It certainly does. I must figure out how you got this extraordinary Gift.~
~okay~
~Harry? Could you stop reading my thoughts for a while, please?~
Harry laughed and the others looked at him.
~Okay Professor, take your time. Cheers.~
Harry stopped thinking of Dumbledore.
"I spoke..euh thought with Dumbledore." He announced to his friends.
"Wow! Harry! That's a long way away from here!" exclaimed Ron.
"Yes, now we can't play Exploding Snap anymore, because Harry can read our thoughts of which cards we have." Said Fred, who was taking out his Exploding Snap.
"Well, I can close off my mind, you know." Said Harry hurriedly.
"Hmm.Okay then. Does everybody want to play a game?"
They nodded and went to sit at the table again. Harry passed the window and looked out. He saw the Dark Mark still twinkling in the sky. He thought of Voldemort.
~Voldemort. You have destroyed all these families. I will kill you.~ he thought angrily.
~Well, well, is this Harry Potter? What a surprise. I think it's quite the opposite. I will kill you." Said a high voice inside his head.

Today's quote: "To the Greeks, we're still stupid, ugly, and weak, but at least we're not flesh eating maggots." -My Latin teacher, Mr. Ainsworth.
You probably don't know why he said that, let me explain. We were talking about Mythology, and about what mankind is in the different mythologies.
In Greek mythology: Zeus made mankind. Then he decided they were too much like the gods, so he killed them all (that was the Golden Age). He made a new race of man, (silver age) a little more stupid and ugly and weak than the last kind. After a while he decided they were still too much like the gods, so he killed them. Then he made another race of man, even more stupid and ugly and weak (bronze age). Still he thought these were too smart and beautiful and strong, so he killed them and made another race of man (Iron Age) and that's who we are now. So, we are the most stupid, ugliest, weakest race Zeus created (in Greek mythology)
In mythology from Norway: Some god killed another, who was an ice god. The killed god became the Earth, and the god who killed him sentenced him to be a corpse that would be crawling with maggots who would eat him. Guess what those maggots are called? Humans.
