1 Chapter 2
Hedwig tapped on the window, her wings were exhausted, she'd been flying for a whole day. As she tapped on the circular window, she leant forward to peer inside. She could see lots of people sitting around the sides of the room, watching two men standing in the centre. One was a tubby man, in a bowler hat and pinstriped cloak. Hedwig started as she gazed at the other one. That was the person she was looking for, the one who was close to her owner. She began to tap frantically, making as much noise as she could.
Inside the room Cornelius Fudge was having a heated argument with Albus Dumbledore, with certain members of the ministry, and the entire staff of Hogwarts looking on.
"Cornelius, I agree with you about Malfoy, but you must let the other three be Potter, Weasley and Granger."
"Come now Dumbeldore, see here, I'll agree with Weasley, and if there's no one else, then perhaps Granger, but how can you even consider involving that… that parselmouth! Besides, the boy will have his hands full this year, won't he". Fudge smirked, taking obvious pleasure from the look of fury on Dumbledore's face.
Dumbeledore was prevented from replying, as the tapping of an owl on the window became obvious. Everyone's gazes turned to stare at the snowy white creature that was sagging with obvious exhaustion
"Isn't that Potter's owl?" Minerva McGonagall asked. Without a word, Dumbledore crossed the room and flung the window open. Hedwig flapped in and collapsed on the desk. Fudge went slightly red, "What does that boy think he's playing at?", he barked, and without realising it, doing an almost perfect impression of Uncle Vernon. Dumbledore looked at the Potions master, "Severus, could you fill up Fawkes' dish with water. Silently, Snape filled up the phoenix's dish with water from a small golden tap in the corner of the room, and placed it on the desk next to Hedwig. The owl lapped up water for what seemed like an hour, until finally, she raised her head, water dripping from her beak, and looked at Dumbledore.
"She hasn't got a note with her", Mundungus Fletcher remarked, breaking the silence.
"You see!", Fudge blustered, "It's probably that boy, up to something!"
Suddenly, Hedwig reached out and gripped Dumbledore's sleeve briefly, then letting go and flying to the window, before pausing in mid- air to look back at them expectantly"
"I do believe the poor creature wants us to follow her", Professor Trelawney proclaimed in Misty tones. Professor Trelawney proclaimed in a Misty tone. Professor McGonagall snorted, and was about to comment when Dumbledore silenced her with a look. Hedwig flew back to perch on the desk, when something one of her feathers caught Dumbledore's eye. He bent his frail body to examine it, letting his spectacles slip down his nose slightly. Suddenly Dumbledore let his breath in sharply.
"What is it Albus?" Professor Sprout's worried look mirrored that of almost everyone else's.
"Dried blood". There was silence for a few seconds before mutterings and whisperings broke out all over the room. Fudge looked too angry to speak. Dumbledore straightened up, and let his eyes roam over the room, before they came to rest on Snape. "Come over here Severus". Snape walked over to the desk from his position against the wall, without questioning his superior. "Touch that", Dumbledore said, indicating the dried blood. Snape reached out, to touch it, before withdrawing his hand quickly, and emitting a short yelp of pain. The tip of his finger was blistering. Everyone fell silent again. After a few seconds, Dumbledore answered the question, which everyone had been pondering the answer to. "It's Harry's blood". The whisperings and mutterings started again, along with a few gasps, and in Professor Trelawney's case, a shriek. "I knew it, I saw this!" she squealed, excitedly, "Tragedy has occurred!!" Dumbledore suddenly jerked into life. "Minerva, Severus, follow me." Again he let his gaze roam around the room, pausing on every individual, "The rest of you, please remain here until we return". With that, he swept out of the room, leading the two Professors past a spluttering Fudge, down the spiral staircase and through countless corridors and hallways to the entrance hall. He walked straight through the doors, through the grounds, and didn't stop walking until he had gone through the massive gates with the winged boars, that marked the entrance to the grounds of Hogwarts. Snape looked up to see Hedwig flapping down towards them, and coming to perch on Dumbledore's arm.
"We're going to Harry's house?" McGonagall asked. Dumbledore merely nodded, before disappearing. McGonagall and Snape glanced at each other and shrugged, before disappearing too.
(Ok, I know that chapter was complete crap, but I wrote it in a hurry, don't abandon me, it'll get better after my exams. Oh yeah, if you guys find out anything else about when Harry Potter 5 is coming out, then TELL ME!!!)
