Chapter 6: In Which the Lines are Tested Again

A/N Here it is the ending to my first completed Harry Potter Fic. A year after I started it. I must type faster; anyhow here it is please remember to R&R.

The constant pecking at the window didn't stop finally Albus got out of bed to let the little snowy owl inside. "What do you have my friend?" Albus gave the owl a pet as he took the note that was attached to his leg. He recognized the handwriting immediately it was that of Arabella Figg the message read:

Albus,

Dementors attacked Harry and the boy. Harry used magic to ward them off. He should be getting the letters any time.

Bella

Albus dropped the note at the bedside table and dressed.He needed to speak to some at the Ministry. The commotion had now woken Minerva who looked at him, the concern evident on her face. "It seems Harry has gotten himself into some trouble. I'll have to go to the Ministry and speak to a couple of people."

"Is he alright?"

"Bella took care of him. Let's hope his Aunt and Uncle are a bit forgiving when he arrives home with his cousin."

Minerva now looked a bit confused. "What happened to them?" She asked as she sat up next to him in bed.

"It seems that they were attacked by a Dementor. My dear, it has begun."

Minerva took a deep breath and nodded her head "Let's hope the Prophecy…"

"To be honest right now that is one thing that is not at the forefront of my mind. Let's hope Petunia remembers her end of the arrangement. That is what I believe we need to be concerned with at this time. I'll be back soon." He bent down and kissed her lightly on the lips.

As he walked away she stopped him for a moment. "If you run into Harry at the Ministry be careful, Albus."

"I will, in the end I just hope Harry understands why I have done the things that I have done to him this year."

Albus grabbed a bit of flew powder and lit the fire with his wand. He stepped in, threw the powder down and announced his destination "Ministry of Magic!"

Minerva watched as he disappeared in cloud of green smoke. "I hope he will understand too."

Harry had finally managed to get himself and Dudley back to number four holding Dudley in his arms he rang the bell.

His Aunt and Uncle immediately appeared at the door. "What happed Boy?!" Uncle Vernon demanded as they help Dudley into the house and Petunia began tending to him

Harry began to explain what happened " We were in the alleyway and we were attacked by dementors.

"D… what?" Vernon repeated confused and becoming more furious with Harry.

"Dementors. They are following Lord Voldemort."

"Lord Vole.. isn't he the one…"

"Yes, He's the one who killed my parents." Harry had noticed that his Aunt seemed to turning a whiter shade of Pale as the explanation went on and Uncle Vernon had stopped speaking Then as he started to speak again a small owl dropped a letter in front of Harry. He picked it up the handwriting looked to be that of Mr. Weasley.

Vernon looked very annoyed at the owl's entrance but seemed to be preoccupied with Dudley and his Aunt at the moment to say anything. Harry opened the letter and read:

Harry,

The Ministry officials are coming don't leave your Aunt and Uncle's house whatever you do. Dumbledore is here at the Ministry sorting it out. Don't surrender your Wand Whatever you do, Don't Surrender your Wand

Arthur Weasley

Petunia finally found her voice "But he's gone."

"He's back." Harry said in a hurry and with some force as he looked up from the letter.

"OUT!" Uncle Vernon bellowed. "GET OUT OF THIS HOUSE!"

----

Albus Dumbledore was utterly annoyed he had now spent better part of a hour trying to sort out this mess and to top it off he had just received another urgent letter from Bella the said simply in quickly scribbled handwriting:

They are trying to send him away.

Bella

Albus had to act fast he pulled a piece of crimson parchment out of his robes and summoned a quill from near by; Petunia obviously needed some reminding. He quickly wrote only one sentence: "Remember my last, Petunia" He sealed it with a spell, quickly summoned an owl and sent it off.

----

Owls continued to inundate number four Privet Drive letters from the Ministry that Harry dutifully ignored and so on. This however didn't stop his Uncle's ranting. As the ranting continued Harry couldn't help but notice one of the owl that had arrived was caring a crimson colored envelop.' This is it I'm done for.' Harry thought but the owl flew over his head and dropped the envelop in Aunt Petunia's Trembling Hands

"It's addressed to me." She stated in a quite trembling voice.

"That's a howler." Harry offered, "You better open it and see what is says or it'll get worse."

Petunia tried her best to open the envelop with her shaking hands when it opened a voice began to bellow it was a voice that Harry didn't recognize but it was obvious that Petunia did it said "Remember my last, Petunia!" and then ripped itself up.

'Damn you Uncle Albus' Petunia thought as she heard Vernon yell at Harry again to get out

Petunia spoke up "He Stays Vernon. He stays." She turned to Harry and stated with some force "Go to your room and stay there."

Vernon looked dumbfounding and confused. Harry didn't know what changed her mind but he minded her directions and began to climb the stairs. When he reached his room he went inside it was obvious that Petunia new something that made her change her mind. It was as if she suddenly understood the pressure and turmoil that would soon once again overshadow the wizarding world.
