Dear Harry,
I have an urgent need for you to join me and another seventh
year student, who will remain unnamed for the time being, a week
before your next term starts. I do not believe this to be a
problem seeing as I have taken the liberty to write your Aunt
and Uncle a letter explaining your absence. Do not under any
circumstances tell them or anyone where you are going. This is
very important. All you need to do is leave the second letter I
have written on your floor at 12:00 and pick up this piece of
parchment at 12:01. Make sure you make this deadline otherwise
the port key will wear out. Do not worry about your things; I
will get them all here safe. You will be transported to the
Hogs Head and there you will meet the other student at 12:30.
You will then join me immediately. Thank you, Harry. It was unsigned but Harry knew who it was from, it was Dumbledore's writing. He knew it wasn't a trap because of the small symbol of a phoenix in the corner that always accompanied Dumbledore's letters. You wouldn't see it unless you knew what to look for and that Harry did. He just wondered who the other student could be.

Dear Draco,
I have an urgent need for you to join me and another seventh
year student, who will remain unnamed for the time being, a week
before your next term starts. I do not believe this to be a
problem seeing as I have taken the liberty to write your Mother
a letter explaining your absence. Do not under any
circumstances tell her or anyone where you are going. This is
very important. All you need to do is leave the second letter I
have written on your floor at 12:29 and pick up this piece of
parchment at 12:30. Make sure you make this deadline otherwise
the port key will wear out. Do not worry about your things; I
will get them all here safe. You will be transported to the
Hogs Head and there you will meet the other student at your
arrival. You will then join me immediately. Thank you, Draco.
Sorry for the short notice. Draco had no reason to believe this was some sort of joke; his friends would never do anything like this. They had no sense of humor. He knew no one else that would want to play a prank on him, other then to hurt him. And still he was convinced that it was from Dumbledore, thought it was left unsigned. It was just like the old man. For some reason though, he was very scared of who he might have to meet with, and why they needed to go back to Hogwarts so early.

Harry dropped the letter at exactly 12:00, picked up the parchment, and waited. Soon he found himself being pulled and then landed hard on a dusty, wood floor. He opened his eyes but still only saw black. He hoped he wasn't going blind. Feeling around the floor he felt some very odd objects lying around, was this Hogs Head? Just as he was starting to panic he felt a door knob. Opening it cautiously he saw he was in a closet. So Dumbledore had a sense of humor after all. Worrying the other student would get as scared as Harry did; he sat next to the door. He had cracked it open so he would be able to hear when the other arrived and open the door before they freaked.

Draco didn't trust Dumbledore with he new portable cd player, it was very expensive. So with his headphones around his neck and his cd player pocketed, he left the letter and picked up Dumbledore's letter. "Well here goes nothing" he said as he felt himself be pulled into darkness.

Harry heard a loud thud and someone swearing. He almost laughed until he saw who was behind the door. He saw Malfoy's face and almost fainted right there. Not that he was surprised to see Malfoy, he didn't know what to expect, but the state Malfoy was in. He wasn't sure if it was the light or if he had on black eye liner. Harry could swear he had headphones around his neck. It looked as if Malfoy had changed a lot that summer. "Figures it had to be you Potter." Malfoy said maliciously.

"Headphones, Malfoy?" Harry said with something of absurdity in his voice.

Malfoy raised an eyebrow, "Very good Potter, I'm impressed with your knowledge. But then again you did grow up with those Muggles who must give you anything you want, so then you would know what a cd player was."

"You know nothing of it. I'm not in the mood for your criticism Malfoy," Harry sneered,

"And I never thought I would see the day when a Malfoy actually touched something Muggle."

"Oh, Potter. You have a lot to learn. Not like I would actually tell you anything of it."

"Don't worry; I wouldn't want to hear it anyway." With that Harry turned to head towards Hogwarts, mumbling about how much his life sucked and if Malfoy said another word to him, Dumbledore might only see one of them that day.
