Chapter Three

Harry was first in Dumbledore's office. He looked around at the place, a work of art in itself. The paintings of past Headmasters hung on the wall, each now snoozing soundly. He saw Fawkes; the Phoenix who had saved his life in second year. Then, he was proven a true Gryffindor.

"Hello, Mister Potter," Dumbledore greeted, beckoning him to sit down as the others walked into the office. He conjured up a few more chairs so that they could all have a seat.

"Miss Granger."

Hermione smiled.

"Mister Weasley."

Ron nodded.

"Mister Malfoy."

Draco sneered.

"I have called you all here for a reason." He took a deep breath. "To seek out Lord Voldemort. I know how wonderful all of you have become, amazing Aurors, and I know you can do it." He looked at each of his former students in turn. "The last time we went through this, Voldemort secreted himself in Germany."

"And the last time we went through this, no one died." Ron glared at Harry.

Dumbledore cleared his throat. "And now where is he, you may ask?"

The adolescents remained silent.

"The United States of America."

Hermione took in a deep breath. "I've read about that place. It sounds wonderful."

"You've read about everything, Hermione," Ron groaned.

"Well, it does sound like a fun place to go..."

"But fun is not what we're after. If you four accept this mission, you will have to be as serious as possible and avoid all distractions. I hope to defeat Voldemort, this time, unlike the last."

Harry looked up, a discouraged countenance.

"Harry, I understand. You had no choice other than to--"

"Oh trust me, I had a choice." He looked at the floor. "I'm in," Harry said, determined this time to defeat his one true enemy.

"I am as well," Hermione chirped.

"I am, too," Ron voiced.

"What the hell," Draco said deeply, throwing a hand in the air.

"Great. I've booked you all rooms for tonight at the Leaky Cauldron. Pack your things tonight; you'll leave early in the morning."
