Conversation

The time before school started to pass quickly. Although not much was happening it was good to be with friends and people more like family than what Harry actually had. Occasionally other people like Remus or Mad Eye would show up but they never stayed for long. Something strange was the Doumbledore was almost never around. He sometimes came but never for long. Harry spent the time with Ron and Hermione, talking and exploring the huge manor.

"Harry, try some of this."

They were sitting in the kitchen and sampling random things. It was late, but they had all found some sugar and were on a sugar rush. Eventually Mrs. Weasley came in and scolded them all for staying up so late and ushered them off to bed. While Ron and Hermione's sugar rush wore off they grew increasingly tired. By the time they arrived in their rooms they were out cold on their beds. Harry however, while no longer on a sugar rush, was not at all tired. For some reason the sentence he had heard had bothered him increasingly till he would spend all hours trying to decipher what it meant. Of course he learned nothing. He resolved to tell Ron and Hermione in the morning. As for right now, lying in bed was agitating the restless Harry. He got up to go back down to the kitchen to see if he could make a hot drink. Working his way down the winding staircase and the maze of halls, Harry finally reached the kitchen. When he was about to enter he heard Dumbledore's voice conferring with Remus, Mad Eye, and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley.

"He would be perfectly safe!" argued Mrs. Weasley.

"Don't trust in that." Countered Mad Eye.

Remus laughed, "You have no trust in yourself do you? I agree, who could be better for the job then her?"

"Remus is absolutely correct, nobody could be better. That's why I've already talked to her." Doumbledore assured those present.

"You have? How did you do that? What did she say?" Mr. Weasley asked.

"First yes, I have. Secondly, I knew her from a time when she was in great need. And thirdly she has agreed to help, but she refuses any money."

"She does? IT'S A TRAP!" Moody declared.

Everyone looked at him. Then went back to their conversation, ignoring the remark of the eccentric auror.

"Well then its settled." Said Remus. "It's the best thing to do, he'll be safe, she'll be at the school, and that means that the safety of the school will increase drastically."

Then Dumbledore called out "Harry."

Harry jumped. Dubledore had an almost annoying ability to know where everybody was. Harry stepped forward from his place behind the door.

"Harry! What are you doing!" cried Mrs. Weasley.

"It's quite alright Molly," said Dumbledore, "Hello Harry. You are undoubtably wondering what we're talking about. Yes, well I'm terribly sorry but we can't tell you right now. But taking into you're account of figuring things out then you will know very soon."

Harry started to say something but Mrs. Weasley jumped up and took him back to his room. Then left him to wonder about what he had just heard. Her? Who was her? Security? Safety? He would wait till morning then talk to Hermione and Ron, and see if they understood what was going on.
