"Ouch," Harry yelled over the screeches of a unrecognizable owl, "What are you doing?" Harry got up and turned on his bedside lamp to find the owl still pecking and nipping at him to get up. "I'm up, I'm up!" Harry said, "Now what do you want?" Harry took and envelope from the owl to find an off- white envelope with the Hogwarts seal on the back. "Oh no," he whispered, "O.W.L's," he said in a very nervous, yet excited voice. The owl had then flew off leaving Hedwig screeching loudly, upset that he was awakened. He tried calming her down scared that he was going to wake up the Dursley's.
He reached down and carefully opened the letter with trembling hands.
Dear Mr. Potter,
This letter is to inform you of your fifth year O.W.L. results.
We are happy to announce that you have received five N.E.W.T.'s
Defense Against the Dark Arts: Outstanding
History of Magic: Acceptable
Divination: Poor
Transfiguration: Outstanding
Charms: Exceeds expectations
Herbology: Acceptable
Care of Magical Creatures: Outstanding
Potions: Outstanding
We hope you are satisfied with you results!
Harry read and read over the letter. Outstanding in Potions? How can that be? Maybe Professor MoGonagall had told Snape he had wanted to be an auror, or maybe it had been a mistake or maybe he really wasn't that bad and through all the years Snape had told him he was bad at potions finally paid off. He was going to be in Prof. Snape's N.E.W.T. class. How fun!
He then realized that there were two other pages; one, the traditional Hogwarts letter telling when school started, and when to be at King's Cross and how to get there, two: the list of things they needed for the school year.
Harry couldn't help noticing that they (again) needed a set of dress robes. "Oh great," he said remembering all that happened last year with Cho and hoped it wasn't a dance.
Remembering about last year he thought of Sirus. He had thought about him a lot this summer, about him not being there any more, about any more living relatives that cared about him, about not writing and telling him everything, who would he turn to? Who would have all the answers for him?
He then remembered Ron and Hermione. He quickly gathered up some paper and quill and wrote them both letters.
Ron,
You probably already know; but I got my OWL's back. I got five NEWT's. Guess What? I got a NEWT in potions! What about you? I'm going to write Hermione but I'm pretty sure she got a NEWT in all her classes. Can't wait to see you guys, its real boring over here.
Harry
PS Did you see on the school list we need dress robes again?
Hermione,
Hey I just wanted to let you know that I didn't do to bad in my OWL's. I got five. One in defense against the dark arts, care of magical creatures, transfiguration, charms, and POTIONS! I'm guessing you got a lot. I really miss you guys. It's a real drag over here at the Dursleys. I can't wait to get back at Hogwarts.
Harry
Harry closed the two letters up and tied them to Hedwig, who was sleeping in her cage. "Be careful," he said. Closing the window and getting back into bed. He laid there thinking. He could not get back to sleep. He had just fallen asleep when he received a very rude awakening by the schools owl. He had not been sleeping a lot lately and even though how much he didn't want to stay at the Dursleys, he didn't want to go back to the order. Not now. Not with all that's happened. He just wanted to think. Get everything straight before going back to school, but even though how much he tried not thinking about the last couple of months the though of Sirus being dead stayed in his head.
As Harry laid there he realized he had forgotten to write to Lupin. The only person he had left. The only person how knew Harry's loved ones most. After all his best friends were his dad and his godfather. Harry had decided that he should write to Lupin first thing when Hedwig came back. As he drifted off to sleep he wondered if he should ask Lupin to back to the Black's house. Maybe it would be better for him, but then again maybe it would be worse. Staying in Sirus' house?
Harry woke up around 7:00 the next morning just to be greeted by a pecking at his window.
He jumped up abruptly hoping it was Hedwig, but no hope. It was just the Daily Prophet, something he barely took notice to any more. He opened the window and he untied a prophet and put in the money. The bird flew off. He didn't even take a glance at the prophet. He threw it down on his bed and he opened his door ready to go down and make the Dursley's breakfast. But as the prophet unfolded the headline caught his eye. He immediately grabbed the paper and stared at the headline.
ATTACK AND DEATH BY HE-WHO-MUST-NOT-BE-NAMED
Late last night was reported the second act of the Dark Lord, we are not sure however but we think he-who-must-not-be-named captured and killed Julia Burnes, one of the best defense against the dark arts handler. Her parents reported that she was up in her room with her younger but equally talented sister Olivia, when they heard a loud bang. They rushed up into their rooms to find they were both missing. They immediately called the ministry of magic, who got there momentarily.
They suspected someone had taken them through a portkey. After what had happened with a group of witches and wizards at the ministry of magic a couple of months ago, involving Harry Potter, Albus Dumbledore, and the return of he-who-must-not-be-named. They were worried that it was another act of the dark lord. They immediately set up aurors and members of the ministry to locate and get through to where they might be.
About an hour after that Olivia had suddenly reappeared in her bedroom. She had been holding her limp, lifeless sister in her arms, and was crying madly. Julia was immediately rushed to the St. Mungo's Hospital and Olivia was immediately checked over and interviewed by private staff.
"I was in my room with my sister when a strange man appeared holding a pot. He grabbed my sister and me and told us to touch the pot. Julia told me to just do whatever they said, so we help the pot and were taken to a very strange house. There were pictures on the walls and Daily Prophet clippings. It was very old. We were lead into a room. There was someone sitting in a chair with his back facing us. The stranger took Julia to face him. Julia screamed and started kicking and screaming to get away. I went to help but another guy standing in the corner with a hooded mask came and held me back. We were both fighting to go when a cold, dark, deep voice spoke. He asked my sister where it was and she would not answer. He got a wand and she suddenly said that she didn't have it anymore. He took his wand and pointed at her and asked her again, where was it. She yelled out that she didn't know, she didn't have it anymore. He took his wand and Julia told me to run. I tried getting free but two more hooded guys came and was holding me. One of them grabbed my arm back and broke it. Julia started screaming and the voice said that it was too bad she didn't know where it was, and yelled out AVADA KEDAVRA! She fell to the ground. He told all the hooded guys to go and find it. Then he told one of them to take us back. And then he was dragging me and my sister out of the room, and then we were back at home, in our bedroom."
Those are the exact words, told to us my Olivia Burnes. "We need to keep under watch at the burnes; we can't have this happen again." Said Fudge ( minister of magic) "We now know the dark lord is back and he wanted something, Julia will be under watch at all times, as well as her mother and father. "She is great at defense the dark arts, trailing behind her sister through all the years. She will know when danger is near. We believe she can watch after herself, but she must have some sort of watch guard over her" Said her mother and father (Stacy and Erik Burnes). "We will, in no doubt, find the thing he- who-must-not-be-named wants and solve this thing once and for all" says Percy Weasley (Fudge's assistant).
Harry sat there reading in awe and confused. Whose Julia and Olivia Burnes? Great defense against the dark arts handlers? What does Voldemort want with them? What did she have that he wanted?
Author Words: I know this is going kind of slow but please keep reading!!!! I will probably have the next chapter ready in a couple of days, but its going to be real long and a lot will happen SO PLEASE REVIEW(I will answer them in the beginning of the next chapter)
Next chapter: Mail, mail, and more mail for Harry! All of his questions will be answered, and he will finally get to see all of his missed friends. But will it be too much for him?
