Albus Dumbledore, The headmaster of Hogwarts school for Witchcraft and Wizardry was in his Office awaiting a reply from the people he was hoping would become the new defence against the dark arts professors. Suddenly two owls came flying through the window, one was quite clearly from Harry Potter as the owl in question was his snowy owl Hedwig, and the other was the reply he had been waiting for. The first letter to open he quickly decided was from Harry considering the events towards the end of the last school year and the unfortunate death of Sirius Black, the closest thing the poor boy had to a father. The letter read…
Dear professor Dumbledore,
You told me to write if I had any dreams or anything of significance happened at privet drive, well something that needs to be discussed urgently has occurred. Please come here ASAP.
Yours
Harry Potter
After reading this letter he turned to the awaited reply from the DADA candidate:
Professor Dumbledore,
We will join your school for the reasons you mentioned but neither of us can do magic so we would like to suggest asking a third person to join us in teaching this class. However we do know a lot about vampires and other creatures so we would cover this plus an intensive physical defence program. We would like a third tutor to cover any magic involved in the class.
Please tell us how to get to a location so we can meet with you.

With reading this the venerable professor breathed a sigh of relief as their chances of successfully dealing with Voldemort's reapers had just increased significantly.
With this he called the deputy headmistress and head of Gryffindor house Minerva McGonagall through the castles internal floo network.
"Minerva I have had a reply from the defence candidates in the affirmative so I will be going to visit them very soon."
"Why not immediately?" asked his deputy. "Because I have also just received a letter from Harry Potter and there is an item of utmost importance that needs to be discussed immediately." Replied the headmaster.
"Oh is he alright after his loss?" inquired the head of Gryffindor, with a sympathetic look in her eyes. "This I do not know but I intend to find out Minerva." Professor Dumbledore said this with such a determined look that Professor McGonagall almost felt sorry for the Muggles that she felt were almost certainly mistreating the Boy-Who-Lived as they spoke.
With this Albus Dumbledore Apperated to Number 4 Privet Drive in the town known as Little Winging in Surrey.
Harry Potter was at the moment lying on his bed in the smallest bedroom of number 4, thinking about his current lot in life, being trapped in his own bedroom with an extreme lack of sustenance, at least Hedwig could get out via the window so he had sent a letter to Professor Dumbledore asking to speak with him ASAP.
Just as he was thinking this the Boy-Who-Lived heard a loud crack outside signifying someone apperating nearby, on hearing this Harry looked out of his bedroom window and saw his headmaster on the front lawn of the house.
Out of the window he shouted "Professor, can you get into the house as I'm locked in this room and the Dursley's have disappeared somewhere."
As Harry finished this sentence the Professor appeared in his room, "Right Harry", said the Professor "what is the urgent matter that you needed to discuss with me.".
"Well sir , you said the protections on this house are only active as long as my mothers blood resides here?" said Harry in a much quieter tone.
"Yes." Dumbledore replied.
"Well as of yesterday I have not heard anything in the house at all, I think the Dursley's have either left me locked in here through spite and gone off somewhere or have been forcibly taken from the house leaving me stuck in this room… , anyway what I am trying to say is how much longer will the protections last professor?" asked Harry in a concerned tone.
"A very good question but I'm afraid it does not have such a good answer, as you quite rightly said the defences in place around this building are only at their full strength whilst your Aunt Petunia resides here." , "These will gradually get weaker over time until they are nonexistent, this will happen over the period of one week." Continued the professor gravely
"What is going to happen to me then, Professor Dumbledore?" inquired Harry hoping it meant leaving Little Whinging behind for the summer.
"After what you have mentioned about the Dursley's whilst at Hogwarts coupled with the amount of letters I have received from Molly Weasely I feel it would be for the best if you were removed from the care of your aunt and uncle for good Harry."
As Professor Dumbledore said this a tremendous weight lifted from The Boy-
Who-Lived.
"You mean I never have to come back here ever again?" asked Harry not believing what the Professor just said.
"Never again will you be forced to live in this place, but we do have to find somewhere for you to stay and I'm afraid to leave you with Mr Weasely or Miss Granger as they are obvious choices and would be the first place that Death eaters would look for you." Answered Harry's companion. "However" he continued "This is not something that needs to be decided on the spot and indeed if you are able to stay where I am possibly thinking they will be given the option of joining you there if they so desire. But now we must leave."
"Where are we going now Professor Dumbledore?"
"Well after I had finished here I had planned on going to visit the new defence professors to tell them how to get to Hogwarts and find out some of the equipment they will be requiring in the coming year. Do you feel up to coming with me for this
trip?"
"Sure, how will we be travelling there and where is it?"
"The answers are portkey and they at present are in Prague which is located in Eastern Europe, however the teachers themselves are American." replied professor Dumbledore "and now we really must be off so you had better get packed."
With this Dumbledore waved his hand and all of Harry's belongings neatly packed themselves in his trunk apart from a pen, some parchment, and Hedwig plus her cage.
"I would like you to send a note to Mr Weasely telling him what is happening with your situation and his options for the summer and asking him to inform Miss Granger of the same." requested the Professor.
Harry speedily bashed out the note and tied it on to Hedwig's leg and asked her to take it to Ron at the Burrow. As she flew out of the window professor Dumbledore held out an empty diet coke bottle, as Harry touched it he felt the familiar pull behind his navel and suddenly Number 4 Privet Drive was not only totally empty but no signs of the fact a wizard had ever lived there were gone as well.
What do all you wonderful people think? Huh?
