Hi Again

Harry went up to his room and sat on the bed. After a minute of sitting there in total silence, he took out his snitch and started playing with it. He would let it go a little ways and then catch it. Harry did this for a while and then decided that he was still tired. So, he put the snitch away and lay down.

When Harry woke up it was around 2:00. Just then the doorbell rang. He got up and answered the door. It was Tracy.

"Hi" She said smiling.

"Hi" Harry said surprised.

"Do you have time to talk? About Hogwarts."

"Ya, come on in. We can go up to my room, so the Durslys wont here."

"Ok" She said as she followed him up the stairs and into his room.

"Sorry about the mess." Harry apologized.

"Oh, that's fine with me. My room is just as messy. I can't stand a clean room anyway."

"That's what Tonks says"

"Who?"

"Just someone that I know."

"Oh"

"Anyway, what did you want to talk about?" Harry asked.

"Just stuff like, are the teachers hard? What's your favorite and least favorite class?"

"Favorite and least favorite class; that's easy. My favorite class is Defence Against the Dark Arts and my least favorite class is potions. Snape, sorry, Professor Snape is hard. He's the potions master, but everyone knows that it's the Dark Arts job that he wants."

"Anything else I need to know about Hogwarts?"

"Well, my best friends are Hermione Granger and Ron Weasly. Hermione is the smartest person I know and Ron and I are on the quidditch teem. He's the keeper and I'm the seeker."

"Really! I'm a chaser! My favorite teem is the Stars. What's yours?"

"I never really chose a teem. Hey, you could be on the house teem too. Angelina just graduated."

"Who's Angelina?"

"She was a chaser and teem captain. That would be so cool if you were on the teem. Are you any good?"

"Well, my old school, Wiggleswheat, won against four other schools. I was the main chaser. I have lots of medals."

"Wow."

"What's that?" Tracy said pointing to the snitch in it.

"Oh, that's a snitch. Ron's dad got it for me. It's my birthday today."

"Really, happy birthday."

"Thanks" He said staring into her hazel eyes. Just then someone walked passed Harry's room and then stopped and came back to his doorway. It was Dudley's abnormally large self that appeared in the doorway. He looked as if he wanted to say something but was too afraid. He opened his mouth and then closed it again, and walked off.

"Who was that?" Tracy asked

"Dudley, he's my cousin. He's been acting like that ever since I got back from Hogwarts. I think it's because of the dementors that attacked us last summer. "

"Dementors? But, but they work for Azkaban. Why would they attack you and your cousin?"

"Because Umbridge, the senior undersecretary to the Minister of Magic and short time Headmistress, wanted to make me do magic so that I would be expelled from Hogwarts."

"Why did she want you to be expelled?"

"She doesn't like me, and she didn't like me saying that Voldemort," Tracy winsed at the name, "has come back"

"You're brave to say his name."

'Well, it's his name isn't it."

"Ya, but" Harry just smiled.

"Hey, what time is it?" Tracy asked.

"4:13. Wow, we've been up here talking for almost 2 hours."

"My mom is probably looking for me."

"Oh, so I guess that means you need to leave." Harry said disappointed.

"Ya, probably. I don't want her to get worried."

"Ok, well let me walk you home." Harry said getting up.

"Alright."

Harry and Tracy walked across the street to her house. Harry said good by and headed back to #4.
