Okay well I had decided not to continue this story, but I changed my mind...not exactly sure why...ok well here...finally...is chapter 4
Chapter 4: Letters from Dumbledore
Harry awoke to Hedwig nipping at his ear. He loved his owl, but sometimes she was a real pain in the arse. This was one of those times. She just would not give up; Harry continuously pushed her away, she would come right back.
Finally after about 10 minutes of this, Harry gave up. Sitting up, he realized Hedwig had an abnormally thick letter attached to her leg. Harry untied it and immediately noticed to Hogwarts emblem on the seal. He also noticed that it was not the typical school list letter. Slowly he opened it, he was afraid of what it would say.
Was he going to be expelled for something he hadn't realized he'd done? Was something horrible happening? Why was the letter so thick?
All of his questions were soon answered. To Harry's disbelief, it was a letter from Dumbledore. He was the last person Harry wanted to hear from.
"Dear Harry,
I am pleased to inform you, though you may have already guessed, that I am once again taking up the position of Headmaster to Hogwarts. Although I am not sure how pleasing that is to you, considering the facts. I know you probably despise me quite a lot at this point of time, but you must understand that I thought I was doing the right thing. I am dearly regretful for what I had done, but you need to understand the predicament I was in. Please forgive me. Now, onto more pleasing things in your mind.
It was brought to my attention by some extremely hysterical redheads that you were banned for life from Quidditch. These particular redhead look-a- likes will not be attending school next year, they insisted that I do something about this ban. I am pleased to inform you that the life-long ban placed upon you the pervious year has been lifted. I have also been given the honor to inform you that Professor McGonagall has appointed you as the new Gryffindor Quidditch Captain. Congratulations! Enclosed is your captain badge, henceforth the reason this letter is so thick, as well as a letter to your cousin.
Don't dare read it Harry; Dudley is the only one who can open the envelope addressed to him. Anyone else who attempts to read it will get the most awful hair color imaginable. Please do me the favor of giving it to him. Much appreciation. I shall go now, before I start rambling. Please write back to let me know you got this letter safely and also I would be most thankful to know if I am forgiven or not.
Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore"
Harry had the oddest expression on his face, one of complete happiness and utter confusion. He was so happy he could play Quidditch again, but so confused as to what Professor Dumbledore would have to say to Dudley.
Well there was only one way to find out, he had to go find Dud.
Luckily Aunt Petunia was at the grocery store and Uncle Vernon was at work. Harry and Dudley to talk freely, thank Merlin for that.
Harry walked down the hall to Dudley's room and knocked on the door. There was an immediate response.
"MUM I'M WORKING OUT!!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!"
"It isn't your Mum smart one." Harry responded laughing,
Dudley opened the door, slightly embarrassed and said, "Sorry, I thought it was Mum, she's on my last nerve. And I wasn't really working out; I just said that cause it pisses her off. Anyway, what do ya need Harry?"
"I got a letter for you from Dumbledore."
"Already???"
"Oh, I haven't written him about that yet. He sent this with a letter he sent to me about school and Quidditch."
"That's that wizard sport that you were banned from right?"
"Yep, but I'm not banned anymore. Anyway, read the letter cause I want to know what it says."
"No problem, you can read it over my shoulder."
"Okay"
"Dear Mr. Dursley,
I have been informed that over your Christmas break you found a Hogwarts letter addressed to you. Don't ponder on who told me, I have my sources. I am the Headmaster of Hogwarts, and although you are five years behind the other students your age, I would like to know if you would like to attend Hogwarts next year. It will be quite difficult to catch you up with the rest of your peers, but I'm sure with your cousin's help it is possible. Please have Harry send a response via owl. I need to know your answer as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore
Headmaster of Hogwarts"
"Well, I guess you don't have to send a letter to him about me coming now do you?"
"Guess not"
"You know my answer don't you???"
"I'll go right now and inform him that you have no desire to attend Hogwarts"
"WHAT?!?!?!?"
"Just kidding Dud, just kidding!"
"You better be!"
"I am."
"Okay, good. You had me worried there for a minute"
"I'm going to go send Professor Dumbledore a letter"
"Later"
"See ya"
