Summary: Harry Potter decided to come back to Hogwarts for his last year. Lord Voldemort still didn't attack and no one from the wizarding community believe that he will attack anytime soon. What will happen? Is the wizarding community right? And what about Harry?
Because of her... - part 4
Seriously, Ron was smiling like it was Christmas morning and no matter how hard both Harry and Hermione were try to guess why, they were failing. They had only two options - to ask or let Ron tell them by himself. But by the way he grabbed eggs, bacon and other breakfast things, and placed them in his plate was clearly telling that he was waiting for them to ask him. Hermione looked at Harry with completely clueless expression on her face and he returned the same expresson. Finally, she turned her eyes to Ron.
"Would you care to share?" she simply asked and raised her goblet to take a sip. He raised his head and faked clueless expression.
"I have no idea what you're talking about. Care to share what?" he asked slightly tilting his head to a side.
Hermione raised her eyebrows and both Harry and Ron could sense mild attack coming their way. It was the first day of school and it wasn't very wise idea to piss Hermione off. At least not today. Ron quickly turned to Harry.
"Ok, mate, tell her that I have no idea what she' s talking about." but as he looked at him carefully he noticed the expression which was oddly similar to the one Hermione had.
"Oh I see. The duo has ganged up against me. I see everything." he continued dramatically.
Hermione instantly rolled her eyes and Harry wasn't far away from that either. When Ron opened his mouth to speak again Harry wasn't listening anymore. It was Hermione's turn to suffer. Once again this morning he looked around the Great hall. It was slowly filling. Ravenclaw table was the loudest one as many students were sitting around it. Still, the Slytherin table was completely quiet. Surprisingly. Harry didn't expect to see Draco Malfoy in Hogwarts once again. Still, he wasn't sure. Death Eaters had new tactics. Sly and evil ones. They weren't losing this much in this war. They have already recruited many new loyal members. But of course, the inner circle always stayed the same. He was deep in his thoughts, so by now he didn't realize that he is basically staring at one of the Gryffindor girls. He shook his head slightly as he saw that she is waving in front of his face. He instantly recognized her. That was Charlotte of course. After the train accident he couldn't ever forget her name, he was sure. She smiled to him and he smiled back. It looked like she is going to say something but suddenly, another owl flied over his head and landed on the edge of his plate. He didn't recognize it so he simply stared at it for few moments.
"The bloody hell! Are you going to open it or will you simply continue staring at it for the rest of the day?" Ron asked already slightly annoyed. Harry stretched his arm and took the letter which was tied to the owl's leg.
Mr. Potter,
Come to my office after the breakfast. I have some important informations for you. Don't worry about the first class, I have aranged everything with professor Flitwick. Regards,
McGonagall, Minerva
He raised his head from the letter and immediately faced Ron and Hermione's anxcious faces. In next moment they started in unison "Who sent it?" and "What does it say?" The owl already flew away so he guessed that professor McGonagall didn't need an answer. He put the letter back in the envelope and started raising from the table.
"From McGonagall. She needs to see me before the first class." Ron and Hermione were now looking up at him "Why?"
He shrugged "I have no idea. I can't remember that I did anything already. But then again, I might be wrong. See you later." he said and with that walked out of the Great hall. First he climbed into the Gryffindor tower to take his books and things he needed. Just on time, he knocked on the doors of professor McGonagall's office.
"Come in." he heard from the inside and walked in "Good morning Mr. Potter. You're wondering why I asked you to come here, am I right?" he just nodded and approached to her desk "Sit down, please." she continued "Like I have said, I have something to tell you. We both know what happened few months ago. So, now I have to ask you to stay away from any trouble at all. You know that simply anything you do could be dangerous. Professor Dumbledore has left some letter and informations so I will get back to you with that." she said eyeing him as she is reading his mind.
Not waiting for his answer she continued this time a little quieter "Everything is still quiet. And we think that will remain for some time. But by the end of this school year you will have to go into hiding. Then he will attack."
He slightly raised his eyebrows and finally spoke up "Into hiding?"
She nodded "Yes, we're trying to establish perfectly safe place. You are the target. And for now, none of us is ready to strike back. So we all will have to buy some time and find a proper moment." she said and pushed an envelope across the desk towards him. He took it and opened. A small badge was in it. A badge of the Head Boy. He looked at her, now totally confused.
"Put it on immediately and wear it constantly. I have decided that you have deserved it." she finally softly smiled "You are free to go now. Charms is the first class of this term."
Still kinda confused, Harry stood up and left the office. The badge was still in his hand. Slowly, he placed it on his shirt, but on not so visible place. He still didn't want people to see it. He knocked on the classroom doors.
"Oh mister Potter, do come in. You have been excused." the small wizard, professor Flitwick said "Here, you can sit down beside miss Clark." Harry nodded and sat down by Charlotte. Looking back at her he smiled "Hi."
