Chapter 4-The Letter

Harry sat in his bed with the letter. He took a deep breath and finally read the rest of it.

My Dear Brother James,

How long has it been since we have talked? I presume you are still upset at me

for what I told you earlier? But I think it is the truth, wether you want to

hear it or not. Harry has a right to know that I am his real father and to grow

up with me. I understand you think he will be better with you and Lily, but I

disagree. I know how to take care of kids even if you don't like that idea.

Im sorry about how you had to hear about Lily's unfaithfulness to you, but it

had to get out somehow. I still regret that I couldn't be there to tell you

along with Lily. Please don't take it out on yourself. I deserve to be blamed

for everything.

I was wondering if you would like to come to dinner with me and Robin. Lily can

come of course. The arrangements have already been made for the four of us. We

understand if you don't want to come. We are going to be at the ShipShack on

Sunday at 7:00.

Regards,

Albus Potter

Harry stared in awe at the letter. Did I just read what I think I read?

Just then Ron and Hermione ran into the room. Out of breath, They both started

talking at once.

"Harry where have you been-" Hermione started

"The game is starting in 10 minutes, we can't play without a captain." Said Ron,

dressed in his quidditch robes. The game! I totally forgot about it! It was

Slytherin vs. Gryffindor. Both were tied in first for the quidditch cup and

Gryffindor had to win this one.

"Im coming." Harry said as he got up to put his quidditch robes on.

"Ill go tell them to wait for you." Hermione ran off as she was saying this.

"Three cheers for Gryffindor!" Neville said in between mouthfuls of Bertie Botts

Beans.

The party had been on in full blast for 5 hours after the game and Harry still

wasn't in the mood for it. He looked up and seen a red-faced Ron trying to dance

with a laughing Hermione. Harry smiled at himself. Atleast they are getting

along. Harry stood up and made his way to the stairs when someone tapped him on

the shoulder, turning around he looked down at Hermione. Who was holding her

breath and pointing. He looked to where she was pointing and saw Ron dancing

away, red face gone and looked like he was the king of the world.

"I put a spell on him." Hermione said in between giggles.

"Why?"Harry replied.

"You'll find out soon enough." She said. Then she turned around and walked off.

Harry just laughed and walked up to his dorm room. Then the reality hit him.

He abruptly turned around and ran right into Dean.

"Where going are you Harry?" He said as he stumbled forward.

"Dean are you drunk?" Harry couldn't believe it Dean drunk? What is going on?

He helped Dean to the dormitory and then ran downstairs. He left the common room and fled to Dumbledores office. Outside he tried to remember the password but it wouldn't come to his head. Then as if by coincidence, McGonagall

turned and started walking toward him.

"Harry Potter, it is after midnight what are you doing wandering the hallways?"she said in a stern voice that sent shivers down his spine.

"I need to see Professor Dumbledore right away." he said in one breath.

"Why Harry, is somebody hurt?" she asked.

"No professor, it is personal." please let her understand.

"Fine, the password is lime sherbert. But you need to go right back to your dormitory after, it is past curfew."she said sternly.

Harry turned around and said the password to the gargoyle. It opened to see Dumbledore reading the latest edition of The Quibbler.

"Harry," Dumbledore spoke first " I was starting to wonder when I'd see you again." then he smiled.
