That night, they were all talking in their common room. One by one, they fell asleep in their chairs. Harry had another one of his dreams. He was Voldemort's snake. Voldemort and the snake were hissing to each other. They were talking about the day would come soon when they killed Harry Potter. Then, Voldemort pulled out a sword. Salazar Slytherin's sword.
"Harry! Harry! Wake up!" Ron said shaking him. Harry was soaked in sweat. "You were hissing in your sleep."
"Harry, what did you say?" asked Hermione.
"Voldmort's coming soon. I don't know when, but soon. He's using a sword. We have to tell Dumbledore," said Harry. He jumped out of the chair and ran to the portrait that led to Dumbledore's office.
"But, it was only a dream," Draco said to Hermione.
"Most of his dreams aren't dreams," said Hermione.
"Ok...," said Draco.
"Dumbledore! Dumbledore!" yelled Harry.
"What is it Mr. Potter?" asked a very roused Dumbledore.
"Voldemort's coming soon. I don't know when, but soon," said Harry. "I dreamt it. Everyone need to go home as soon as possible."
"Of course. I'll send word to all the parents tomorrow, and the students will leave the day after tomorrow. Except you four," said Dumbledore. He went over to one of his shelves and picked up a purple velvet pouch. He opened it and pulled out some Floo Powder. He lit the fireplace and threw some Floo Powder into it. He stuck his head in for a minute and came out. A minute later, McGonagall came out of the fireplace. Then, Dumbledore did it s second time and out Snape came.
"What is it Dumbledore?" asked the two teachers. Then, they looked at the four students then back at Dumbledore.
"Voldemort's going to come soon. We don't know when, but soon. We have to send the students? home. We need to send word to all the parents. Except these four. They will stay," said Dumbledore. Then he stuck his head in the fire and came back. Fudge stepped in.
"What is it?" asked Fudge.
"Voldemort's going to come soon. I want all Aurors here if possible," said Dumbledore.
"Yes, yes, of course," said Fudge.
"Thank you for believing us this time," said Dumbledore.
"After three years ago, he came back, anything's possible now," said Fudge.
"When are the students going home?"
"Tomorrow. I'm sending letters to the parents now," said Dumbledore.
"Ok, I'll send as much Aurors as possible when all the students go home," said Fudge.
"Snape, McGonagall, go tell your students what's happened," said Dumbledore. They nodded and left. Dumbledore went into the fire again and came out and then went in again. He told the other heads to tell their students.
The next morning at breakfast, Dumbledore stood up, "As you all know, you'll have to go home tomorrow. It is only for your safety. So, tonight, we'll have a big feast and pretend it's actually the last day of the term. I want you all to pack as soon as possible. The train will come around 11:00 am." Dumbledore sat down. The Hall filled with angry buzzes.
"I'm really going to miss it here," said Hermione.
"But, you're not leaving tomorrow, are you?" asked Draco.
"Of course not, but when we do. This was the first time I ever had real friends," said Hermione. Draco looked at her. "Don't get me wrong, I had friends, but I'd scare them off when I did something weird. Then I found out I was a witch."
"Oh," said Draco.
Dumbledore had sent a letter to Ron parents' that only Ginny would be going home early, not Ron. He told them why and they sent a letter back tat they understood.
"You be careful Ron," Ginny said the next morning at 10:30.
"I will be ok. I'll be coming home soon. Tell mum and dad that," said Ron. Ginny hugged him and cried. He hugged her back. "I promise, now go." She let go of him and got on the train. They all waved to the students that were leaving.
"Hey! Why are you staying?" yelled someone out a window as the train started to leave.
"We have to save the world!" all four of them yelled. The boy shook his head and went back into the compartment.
