Chapter 2

The O.W.L. Results

Harry sat upright in his bed, the happiest that he's been since the start of the summer. Even though the lightning shaped scar that Voldemort gave him when he was a baby was badly hurting, Harry just put aside the pain and focused on one thought: Sirius. He couldn't believe that Sirius was alive. Harry had half a mind to get out of bed, grab his broomstick and fly to Diagon Alley where he overheard Sirius was. But something held him back. He knew that Voldemort wanted him dead and that flying to Hogsmade was going to be very dangerous. He thought about his best friends, Ron and Hermione, and knew what they would say at the thought of him flying to Hogsmade on a broomstick.

"Oh, Harry, how could you? You can get expelled for that, you know that you're breaking the international law of secrecy. That is way too dangerous, you know that." Hermione Granger would say.

And Ron Weasley would say, "Dunno, Harry, maybe you shouldn't go, what if You-Know-Who was trying to trick you again? Besides, it is dangerous for you."

The more Harry thought about flying to Diagon Alley, the more stupid it sounded. But he knew that he should tell someone because Sirius was in danger, Voldemort did want him dead. Then it hit him. He should tell The Order of the Phoenix, an organization that fought against Voldemort and his supporters. And to tell the Order, he could write to Dumbledore. Harry had no idea where Dumbledore spent his summer vacation, but he knew that his owl, Hedwig, would be able to find him. Harry got up, strode to his trunk, where he got out a quill, a piece of parchment, and an ink bottle. He lay down on his bed and started writing.

Dear Professor Dumbledore,

I'm sorry to disturb your vacation, but I have some really important news. This night, I had one of my visions in which I was Voldemort, and I heard that Sirius is not dead. Bellatrix Lestrange told Voldemort that she saw him in Hogsmade. Voldemort said that he was going to kill Sirius, so this is why I'm writing this. I think that he is in danger. I also found out that Professor Snape is a traitor, he's not on our side as he acts, and he's passing information to Voldemort.

Sincerely,

Harry Potter

Harry reread the letter, making sure that he didn't leave anything out. But even if he did, he was sure that Dumbledore would want to take him away from the Dursleys immediately for which Harry would be glad.

The Dursleys hadn't improved their behavior towards Harry at all. In fact, it had even gotten worse. Every time Harry entered a room that the dursleys were in, the Dursleys made loud grunting noises that were extremely annoying, so Harry had to leave. They often had Harry eat in his room, so that he would be out of their sight. Harry didn't mind this at all. In his opinion, the less he saw the dursleys, the better.

Harry put the letter in an envelope, sealed it shut, and walked over to the other side of his cupboard where Hedwig's cage was. He then woke her up and tied the letter to her leg. Harry carried her over to the open window. Hedwig spread her great wings and took flight. Harry watched her get smaller and smaller until she was enveloped by a cloud. He checked the time. With a jolt, he realized that he's been 16 for almost two hours.

Feeling very happy, Harry went back to sleep, dreaming of Quidditch.

In the morning, Harry got up and found out that he had three barn owls sitting on his bed, one leg sticking out. One was Pig, twittering madly and trying to untie the package that was tied to his leg. Harry untied the package and opened the envelope. Inside was a letter that said:

Hi Harry!

How many O.W.L.S. did you get? I got 9. But you wouldn't believe Hermione. She got 20! That's the highest that you can go. I still qualify for an Auror, but McGonagall wrote that she would give me extra lessons in potions. Everything's okay here. Fred and George have made tons of money with all their joke stuff. They still live with us though, although they're already looking for a two houses of their own. You wouldn't believe this! Fred is going out with Katie Bell, remember she was on our Quidditch team, and George is engaged to marry this girl named Elizabeth Post. Percy hasn't come to visit us, or to apologize. He's still avoiding us. I think that he's ashamed of himself for turning back on his family. Mum has written to Dumbledore if you can come ad stay with us. Don't worry; we're going to get you away from the Dursleys as soon as possible.

See you,

Ron

I bet Hermione's really happy, Harry thought. He reached for the package hat came with the letter and opened it. Inside was a very handsome quill and parchment. Harry frowned. Why Ron would send him a quill and a piece of parchment? But then he spotted a scribbled note.

Harry-this is an invisible quill. I have the other quill and parchment. If you need to tell me something, write on the parchment with the quill and your message will appear on my paper. We can sort of talk like this in private since we can't put everything we want to say in letters.

Uh oh, thought Harry. I put a lot of information in that letter I sent Dumbledore. I hope no one intercepts it or there will be trouble. Harry reached for the owl that bared the Hogwarts crest. Once he relieved the owl of its burden, it ruffled its wings with dignity and flew out the open window.

Harry reached for the package from the owl that he didn't recognize. It was from Hermione. She sent him a birthday card and a book called "The 1,000 Top Quidditch Teams in the World. Harry looked through it. It had lots of pictures of all kinds of teams. Thanks Hermione, Harry though as he laid the book aside.

Harry reached for the package that was from Hagrid. It was square and not very big. Wondering what it was that Hagrid got him, he opened it. Inside was a little square box with beautiful designs on it that were carved into the box. Really curious what it was, Harry opened it. Inside was the Golden Snitch. There was also a note. In uneven and scribbled handwriting, it said:

Harry,

I got you this Snitch so you can practice for Quidditch. You don't even need to ride on your broom. Just practice catching it. I hope that you will put it to good use so Gryffindor can win the Quidditch cup again.

All the best,

Hagrid.

Cool, I can sort off play Quidditch by myself, thought Harry. Now, onto the next package. This one was from Hogwarts. It was much thicker than usual. Harry opened it.

Dear Mr. Potter,

The new school year will start on September 1st. The Hogwarts express will leave from King's Cross station at platform 9 ¾ at exactly eleven o'clock.

There are also the results of your O.W.L.S. that are enclosed in this letter and the classes that you will need to take this year to become an Auror. Since you didn't manage to get outstanding in Potions, I will help you on that. Tuesdays and Fridays are the days that you will meet me at 7 o'clock in the evening. Your booklist is also enclosed.

The ban that Dolores Umbrige gave you from Quidditch last year is cancelled. So you are on the Quidditch team. I would also like to offer you my congratulations on becoming captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. I do hope that we will win this year.

Sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall.

Harry took out the other piece of parchment, dreading what it would say.

Harry was stunned. He thought that he would fail nearly everything. He didn't expect such a high score or so many O.W.L.S. He was very happy since now his dream of becoming an Auror could actually happen. He wasn't actually psyched about extra classes, but there had to be some kind of sacrifices in order to get what he wanted. Feeling much happier, he took out the booklist. He would need Advanced Transfiguration by Frolode Griffin, Standard Book of Spells, Grade 6 by Miranda Goshawk, Advanced Form of Defense by Portes Skiff, and 1,000 Different Potions by Wilma Greyheart.

Feeling much happier, Harry went down to the kitchen to get something to eat.

When Harry got to the kitchen, he found all three Dursleys sitting down at the kitchen table and looking evilly at a letter that was placed in the middle.

Harry ignored the Dursleys, which were now staring at him and went to the refrigerator, got out a piece of cake and started eating.

"Come here boy, I need to talk to you." growled Vernon.

Wondering what he did now, Harry approached his Uncle cautiously.

"What in the ruddy hell is going on," Vernon roared, "you're giving out our address to people like you so your nasty friends can send you things. Take a look." Vernon thrust the letter into Harry's hands.

"What's wrong with it," asked Harry, "For God's sake, ya'll are afraid of a package?"

"Look to who it's addressed to," said Vernon, "it's addressed to you and it wasn't brought by the mailman. Oh, yes, the mailman did see it since it was dropped right on his head by an," Vernon said in barely audible whisper. "the o-word.

"If you mean owl, then just say it, and stop acting so stupid." Harry said rudely.

Vernon looked at Harry as though he wanted to hit him really hard, but then in a voice of forced calm, "Take this bloody letter up to your room and get out of our sight. Now!"

"As soon as I finish my breakfast." Said Harry, smiling at how enraged the Dursleys looked.

After Harry finished breakfast, he got up and headed for his room, the letter in his hand.

Once, he was inside, he locked the door and opened the letter. He was about to read it when something moved outside his window. He couldn't see what it was so he came up to the window and opened it. He looked around when somebody whispered I his ear.

"Quick, let me in."

Harry looked around for the sourse and got a big surprise. It was Sirius.

"What? How? How did you-." Harry began.

"Let me in, you can ask questions later."

Harry stepped away from the window and Sirius got in.
