Harry Potter and the Unleashed Prophecy
Chapter Four: Owls with O.W.L.s
Harry and Ron looked up at each other as Hermione shifted into "school mode" It was as if she were speaking another language.
"Yes. Ok. Good Arithmancy yes o no yes, yes. Could have....marvelous!" said an obviously happy Hermione. Harry and Ron who had been watching Hermione, decided to open their own O.W.L.s. It was amusing how one little piece of paper determined what exactly they could or could not do in the wizarding world two years from now.
Ron looked at his paper and his mouth dropped open. "Mum, quick, come quickly!" Ron's mother came in looking very angry.
"Ronald Weasley, what's the meaning of all this yel-" She stopped mid- sentence on the account that Ron had shoved the parchment into her hands.
"Merlin Ron you've got 4! 4 OWLS", said a half excited half-disappointed Mrs. Weasley. "That's one more than Fred and George got mum" Mrs. Weasley's face fell. "Well you can always get NEWT's", then turning to Hermione she asked, "What did you get sweetie?"
Hermione cleared her throat decorously. "Well....I received:

"I could have done better I know I could have, Oh! I'm so disappointed", said Hermione. Mrs. Weasley smiled "That's wonderful dear 8 Owls I'm so proud!"
Everyone was now looking at Harry who seemed to be frozen on the spot.
"Harry?" said Hermione
"Y-yes?"
"What'd you get?" "Well-
Harry tilted up his letter so that the others could read. His paper read:

Dear Mr. Potter, have received very high marks on your OWL examinations despite
several attempts to make otherwise-
Harry, Ron, and Hermione all said "Umbridge" in unison. The letter continued.
We congratulate you on reaching pre-auror status. After our meeting last year when you disclosed you were interested in being an auror, I informed you that you would have to work diligently and hard. And indeed you reached above the minimum OWLs expected to go into your desired field of work. Your future looks promising. Also enclosed, is your Gryffindor Quidditch captain badge. The team is now short 2 beaters and 2 chasers what with the resignations and graduations. You are to find a team that will allow the trophy to rest in my office. Enjoy the remainder of the summer.

There was a silence for a few seconds before Hermione burst into near tears. "Oh Harry that's wonderful" Hermione said, hugging him with a grip that would challenge that of a bear. "Hermione!" said Harry gasping for air. "Get....off...me..." Hermione blushed a deep crimson. "I'm sorry it's just I'm so happy for you 7 owls Harry!"
Now it was Mrs. Weasley's turn. She hugged him just the same as Hermione did.
Mrs. Weasley squealed. "Merlin, Harry we need food! Yes, food for a party, we have to call Arthur!"
Mrs. Weasley swept out of the room still muttering things like "Just like James." and "James would be proud." under her breath.
Hermione continued to congratulate him. Harry did not really understand what the big deal was, but decided to enjoy the celebrating. After all, it was not just for him, him and his best friends had just found out something that would make their careers.
While Hermione was still babbling on about how the Owls dated back to around the time of Merlin, Harry caught a second glimpse or red hair leaving the room.
*Where was Ron going* Harry thought *I'd better go after him*
Harry started walking away from Hermione, as she was mid-sentence.
"Harry, where are you going?" She waited for an answer but Harry just kept walking.
Harry kept walking until he came to the room Fred and George were staying in when they came back from work. There he saw Ron looking out the window.
Harry suddenly remembered why he had brought them upstairs in the first place.
"Ron, why did you leave? I have to talk to you guys"
Harry began to explain the events that transpired a night before, when Snape had been talking to Romulus. Hermione cupped her hand over her mouth at the news. They were not sure exactly what to make of it. They both looked at Hermione who was the logical one in the group. "Well I mean we HAVE thought that Snape was trying to kill you before, but he has had many opportunities Harry, I don't think that can be it."
"And you did say Snape said that he was just making sure you were safe" Hermione said nervously.
Harry shook his head "But what would Snape be taking too far? And what ARE Dumbledore's orders? I mean the cant STILL be watching me can they? Dumbledore promised he would tell me everything this time. I hope he is not trying to weasel his way out.
"Well maybe you should try to stop listening in on people's conversations and I'm sure if you ask Dumbledore he will tell you," said Hermione uneasily.
"Do you reckon he does this on purpose Hermione?" said Ron. "He doesn't plan these things!"
Hermione was about to retort back, when Mrs. Weasley entered the room.
"Lunch is ready, and I spoke with Arthur, tomorrow we will be taking ministry cars to Diagon Alley to pick up yours and Ginny's supplies." "Oh and Harry Albus stopped by. He was in a hurry, but he told me to hand you this and for you to begin reading it its important" She handed what looked like a book wrapped in cloth.
They all filed downstairs past several portraits into the kitchen. They dropped the subject they were previously talking about, and began to talk about what classes they were deciding to take for next year. Hermione launched a full-scale presentation on the importance of NEWT preparation. Ron rolled his eyes out of boredom and Harry snickered.
Harry began to unwrap the book that read "Animagus, What form are you: the ultimate animagus training book by Dwendela Mistix.
Harry smiled. It was evident that the coming year was going to be interesting.
The only bad thing was, Harry could only imagine what Voldemort was doing this very moment. What exactly was he planning? Harry was really going to have to talk to Dumbledore. But for the meantime, Harry just practiced a brief Occlumency exercise, and continued enjoying his lunch, with his friends.
