Chapter 5
Harry Potter and the Secret Invitations
A tubby sort of man, with a big smile and small hands walked out of Almiech, the German wizard hospital. He sighed and rubbed a hand over his tired face. Two years ago he had had his parents transported from St. Mungos in Britain to this hospital, so they could be closer to where we was now living. The man checked the timepiece on his wrist and sighed. He would be late to work, again. As he set off something thumped him on the head. The little pale green letter fell to the ground and the man quickly looked up to the sky, and smiled as he saw a white owl fly past him and away.
The man bent over and examined the scribbled note on the envelope,
"To Neville Longbottm, from Harry Potter. SECRET."
Neville's eyes widened and he quickly stuffed the letter in the inside breast pocket of his robe and hurried to work.
A long finger with painted bright orange nails traced the shores of Northern Ireland on an elaborate map. The woman squinted again, her purple hair falling into her face. Tonks dragged the violet locks back behind her head so she could examine the map closer. Then she heard a few soft taps at the window. Tonks turned her attention to the white owl and waltzed to the window. She slid it open and Hedwig held out her leg, Tonks slipped the pale green letter off and thanked her. Hedwig gave a self satisfied hoot and slid off into the night once more. Tonks shut the window, her finger nails changing to a curious lime green.
"To Tonks and Moody, from Harry Potter. SECRET."
Tonks laughed a little and ripped open the letter. Her eyes scanned the page then came to a halt. POP! Tonk's hair was short, pink and spiky, she shouted through Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place,
"MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODY! COME QUICK! HARRY'S GETTING HITCHED!"
Remus Lupin dodged into his office to pick up a few more supplies. His last class had completely depleted his supply of chocolate. He sighed and rubbed his face. This was the hardest, yet most rewarding lesson he'd ever taught to these fifth years. He made a note to give to Hermione about Jackie Griggs, she was border line to failing and it was Hermione's job to find out why. Professor Lupin dug in his desk drawer and lifted the bottom pice of wood, there was his hidden supply of chocolate. A knock at the door made Remus jump. He quickly shifted the remaining chocolate to his briefcase and slid shut the secret compartment.
"Enter."
A little brunette first year poked in her curly head, "Please Professor, an owl has just come for you." Her little pudgy hand held out the pale green letter.
"Thank you Bridget. Do you need a note to class?"
She shook her head and dissapeared.
Remus smiled, and set the letter down to look at later. As he clicked close his briefcase his eyes caught sight of the adressee.
"To Remus Lupin, from Harry Potter. SECRET."
Remus quickly put aside all thoughts arriving to class before the students. He picked up the letter and ripped it open eagerly. Remus read through the polite questions as to the information of his health, how his classes are going, have anymore parents complained, and so on. Remus's brow furrowed and he picked up the glass of water sitting on his desk and took a long drink. He continued reading over the rim of the cup, then choked. Water sprayed everywhere on his desk, the letter, and his person. Professor Lupin quickly muttered a drying spell and stuffed the letter in his pocket. He fairly ran out of the room in order to beat his class to the abandoned classroom where he was teaching seventh years to ward off Dementors.
Dumbledore eased himself into the large comfortable chair behind his worn desk. He sighed and picked up today's mail. He sifted through the junk mail, mail from parents, and letters directly to him. He picked up a small pale green envelope and tore into it, already knowing who it was from...
"Dumbledore,
I hope Hogwarts is treating you well. I also hope you won't be as busy ending the year as you were when I was in school this coming June. Something is happening and I would be very honored if you would come. I am getting married-"
Dumbledore stopped reading, he looked up at the ceiling and smiled. Then he returned his sparkling blue eyes to the letter, " -to Ginny Weasley. We're planning on sometime early June. As with my line of work it's a pain to pick out specific times, Ginny and I decided on a proximate one. So, early June. Get those kids off safely to home and come witness the spectacle of the century! Only kidding. Please note this wedding is a secret, as you well know, I can't have the entire wizarding community at my wedding. So, say nothing to anyone. Actually, I invited Remus Lupin. You can talk to him.
Best wishes,
Harry"
Dumbledore chuckled lightly, then he laughed aloud. He continued laughing until every portrait in the room was asking him what that particular letter held. Dumbledore just laughed on...
