They both looked to Dumbledore.

"Well, Fudge…Malfoy…Its her very first time. I think we can let it slide a bit this time."

Some scrawny lady stood up VERY quickly.

"No! They used MAGIC! They should not be above the law!"

"Ms. Tombulmort, PLEASE SIT DOWN." Fudge yelled.

"THAT'S MS. TOMBULMORT!" Hermonie said quietly. She was very surprised.

She was a very scrawny lady, tall and thin. She wore a black coat that came to her feet and a huge hat with a feather that looked like it was going to eat her head.

"Who's she?" Harry leaned over to Hermonie.

"Obviously Harry don't you read the books in school? Ms. Tombulmort used to be a Voldermort follower, she has been locked up in Azkaban for a while now, she was just let go a few months ago. They believed they she has now come to be good" She told him.

"Ohh" And he sat back up straight.

Harry raised his hand slowly

"What? Potter?" Malfoy spat

"Um, was that thing that grabbed me anyway?" Harry said cautiously

They all looked at him and said nothing. None of them knew.

"I can answer that." And Ms. Tombulmort stood up.

" Well, you see I was flying over the lake when I saw Harry use magic. I'm the one who called this to order…" Everyone stared at her waiting for an answer. They didn't care about that.

"It was a …a Red Cap." She said with no emotion on her face.

But everyone else started gasping and whispering to the person next to them.

Harry leaned over to Hermonie who's mouth was hanging wide open.

"Uhhh" Harry began

"Seriously Harry! A Red Cap is a creature that lived long ago. Most people thought it was a legend, that there where to few to be called Real.

They live in holes under old battlefields or where ever human blood has been spilt. It's called a Red Cap because the cap of it's head caught the blood of it's victims. I just can't see why it was in the water and came after you. In a MUGGLE setting." She told him.

"Got ya" And Harry sat back up again.

"Are you sure Tombulmort? I'm mean…they're rare, they could be legend, in a MUGGLE TOWN!!?" Fudge was just as confused about the whole thing as Hermonie was.

Harry stared old the old bat.

Something told Harry that she has not gone to the good side yet.

"Well then…"said Fudge breaking Harry's stare. "court adjourned, best be getting back to work, you two (pointing to Harry and Hermonie) Room 103 right now."

As they were all walking out Harry passed Dumbledore.

He looked at Harry as though if he has a question…and he did.

"Can I get some dry clothes…Dumbledore? Harry said.

A smile came across Dumbledore's face and started to laugh.

"Yes, yes, of course, on you go, they will be there in a jiff" He told him.

Making Harry smile.

We find Harry and Hermonie sitting on the couch in their room.

"Hermonie, how did you know to send me a wand?" He asked her.

"Well, I know you're not the person to just hang up on me" She said slightly laughing.

"Hermonie…Thanks"

"No prob Harry" Still laughing

There was a loud crack that made the both of them jump and almost fall off the couch.

When the smoke cleared, Harry squinted to see what had happened.

"Dobby!" He yelled

Hermonie looked through the smoke and her eyes opened wide and formed a surprised look on her face.

"What are you doing here?" He asked the house elf.

"Dobby had to come sir. By orders" he said apologetic

"But I freed you, you don't have to follow any more orders." Harry told it.

"Yes, but Dobby wanted AND needed to deliver this message to Harry Potter"

"A message? From who?" He asked him.

"Mrs. Weasley Sir" Dobby said

"Ron's mom?" Hermonie said

"Mrs. Weasley said it was very, extremely urgent, a letter an owl wouldn't be able to get here quick enough." Dobby said worriedly

Harry started to open the letter, Hermonie watching over his shoulder.

Both of their eyes widened.

"Oh no" Hermonie said quietly, putting her hands over her mouth.

What was in the letter that Mrs. Weasley needed to send so quickly?
