Chapter 2

Answers

Harry stayed upstairs during dinner. He didn't trust Chris or Max so he ate some of the pie Mrs. Weasley sent him. The Dursleys didn't seem to care that he skipped dinner until he heard, "Boy! Get down here now!" Harry sat on his bed trying to think of an excuse until he heard, "GET DOWN HERE NOW!"

Harry sighed and went down. When Harry went into the hall and saw two suitcases. "Uh-oh, I think they are staying for the night, great." Harry said to himself.

"Get in here now!" his uncle yelled from the kitchen. Harry went into the kitchen and saw that Max and Chris was still in there.

"Boy, show them to the guest room now!" Harry nodded and went into the hallway. He picked up the suitcases with difficulty, ran as fast as he could to the guest room and dropped them quickly onto the floor. He tried to leave but Chris was blocking the doorway.

"I will be keeping a eye on you until we get what we came for." Chris said and then moved out of Harry's way.

Harry ran out of the room and into his room." I have no doubt that they are the men Sirius told Ron about," Harry told himself.

Harry closed the door behind him and lay down on his bed. He couldn't wait until Sirius would write back. Harry was just about to go to sleep when he heard an owl tapping on his window. He got up and yawned, and opened his window. A barn owl came in, dropped a letter on Harry's bed and left. He decided to leave the window open just in case Hedwig came back over night. He went over to his bed and opened the letter with trembling fingers and read,



Dear Harry,

I am sorry that you can't go to Ron's house but it is all for the best. I suppose Sirius told you about two men who would try to kidnap you and take you to Voldemort. They go by the names Max and Chris.

Be careful. They usually attack at night so don't be unprepared. If they are there tell send a letter to Snuffles because we are both at the Weasley's house. If you have already sent a letter to Snuffles telling that is fine. I hope you having a fun summer.

From,

Professor Dumbledore



Harry stared at the letter and thought about it.

At night? Now he probably wouldn't sleep, and Sirius, when would he get the letter?

Harry sat on his bed and started to thinking. A minute or two later he looked at the clock. 11:36 p.m.

Harry sighed. He was hoping it would say 1:00 or 2:00 a.m. For most of the night Harry ate the pie from Mrs. Weasley and read the book Ron gave him. He was just about to flip the page when...

"Hedwig!" Harry whispered so the Dursleys wouldn't wake up. He took the letter from Hedwig's beak and read,



Harry,

Yes those are the men. I am sorry but you shouldn't sleep until I come and get you. I will get you at noon tomorrow so be ready. Harry this letter is the most important letter you will ever get so read it VERY carefully.

Do you remember that question you asked Dumbledore in your first year that he wouldn't tell you the answer to? Well, he thinks it is time to tell you. I don't know how to say it but...Harry, you are the last...well, REAL GRYFFINDOR. Harry, this means that you are related to Godric Gryffindor. You need to think about this a lot. Voldemort, as you know, is the last heir of Slytherin. It says in the myth that after a long struggle, whichever house is left standing will be the ruler of the wizard world.

Voldemort has already killed the last real Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. The Sorting Hat saw Gryffindor in you because of that reason but also saw Slytherin in you because some of Voldemort's power is in you. Keep this letter forever, to remind you of your purpose in life.

Love,

Snuffles



Harry stared at the letter in shock. He read the letter a few times until he could absorb everything that it said. He put the letter in his pocket and looked at Hedwig. She had another note in her beak, He took it and read,

I WILL BE WATCHING YOU

Harry shivered. First he gets a letter from his godfather that freaks him and now this. Harry walked over to his desk and sat down. Suddenly Harry heard someone yelling through the door,

"HARRY, TIME TO GO!"

Harry froze. It was Chris's voice.
