Chapter 4

Dismal Hogwarts Letters

That night Harry slept in Ginny's room on a duplicate of Ginny's bed. As soon as his head hit the pillow, Harry was asleep.

Immediately the familiar dream started again.

Harry screamed as Sirius fell through the veil. Just before Sirius completely disappeared, Harry awoke to someone stroking his hair.

"Oh!" the young redhead said, blushing, "I didn't mean to wake you up. You were talking in your sleep."

"Sorry if I woke you," Harry apologized.

"I wasn't sleeping any way," she said, "What were you dreaming about?"

She regretted her question as soon as she saw the look on Harry's face.

"Oh Harry, I'm so sorry," she said as she gave him a hug, "You need to go back to sleep."

Soon Harry drifted off to the most peaceful sleep he had had in a long time.

The next morning Harry awoke to find Ginny sound asleep in her bed. He quietly got out of bed to go downstairs.

As he was entering the kitchen Harry heard the voices of the three youngest Weasley boys.

"Mum, who was attacked last night?"

"I'm not going to tell you, I expect you'll find out soon enough anyway," Mrs. Weasley replied, "Now finish your toast! Good morning Harry, dear. Would you like some toast as well?"

Harry accepted and as he was eating a large barn owl swooped in.

"'ogwarts letters," said a stuffed-faced Ron.

"Could have delivered them myself, I daresay," said a familiar misty voice from behind the boys.

"Professor, the meeting is about to start," Molly said to the headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore.

"Goodbye boys," said the headmaster.

After Dumbledore left, Ron and Harry opened their letters as Hermione and Ginny came down the stairs.

"What?!" Ron exclaimed, "Terms starting a month late?

Hermione read out loud, "It says

'We regret to inform you that term will begin on October 1st rather than on the usual September 1st. This is due to Hogwarts having to hire a new Potions Master as Professor Snape is unable to fulfill the position.

Signed,

Professor Minerva McGonagall,

Deputy Headmistress'

I wonder what happened to Snape?"

"I don't know, but it's a downer that school starts a month late," Harry said sounding as sad as Hermione looked.

"Oh cheer up you three! There's two months of vacation left and we're all here together. Let's have some fun!" Ginny said, brightening the mood a little.
