Here's the next chapter I hope you like it. Please read and review thanks love Hermione xxx
Harry had already decided to take art and music class as it was way better then divination would have been. He had already decided against divination as it was not something he ever envisioned himself having any skills in. He was right of course he wouldn't have had any skills in the area of Divination. He had decided to take Arithmancy and Runes too so his schedule was shaping up to be pretty full. He liked it that way though. Harry was in his room that night getting ready for bed when a howler arrived there for him alerting him greatly. Hermione jumped when she saw it.
"Well go on then love open it!" she said coaxing him along as he did so.
Harry Potter,
You have not seen fit to warn the people of Hogsmeade Village of the presence of Percival Brian who has frankly been a pain in the neck asking everyone everywhere questions about you. Some people say that they have even gone as far as to tell him about things you've purchased. I realise it was all research for his latest novel but could you not arrange a meeting personally with him so as to get it all over and done with now. I suggest you act and act now before I must intervene. He's a celebrity and while I like it he is indeed scaring my local customers. Just please deal with him or find someone who will because so help me if I have to do it!
Madam Rosmerta.
He listened in shock. He had some nerve coming to Hogsmeade and demanding to know what he was buying and so on. It was none of his business and this whole him being a celebrity thing was ridiculous. Even if he was his own privacy should have been respected. What if he had been buying something which might look suspect to someone else even if it wasn't at all dangerous! I mean there was no sense to that at all. To be honest he would deserve everything which happened to him. This certainly warranted writing in his diary and so he set about doing just that.
Will I have just received a howler from Madam Rosmerta stating that Percival Brian is now in Hogsmeade asking questions about me constantly. She said he has been asking people about the things I have bought and some of them have even told them what those things are. She said he's scaring her customers away and has asked me to have an interview with him or something to get him to leave them alone. Now obviously we know that's not happening but what should I do?
In his apartment Wills diary for Harry Potter pinged loudly and he reached over taking the book in his hands not sure what he would see written there.
Harry I have just received your message here. To be honest while I can see where Madam Rosmerta is indeed coming from (a business angle) it's not fair to order you to have an interview with a creepy man like that. Remember they don't know that it's really Dumbledore. If they did I can almost guarantee they wouldn't say that at all. As for people breeching your privacy on what you choose to buy that is against the law. They are not allowed to just tell anyone what you were buying in case that person is dangerous and would wish you harm of any kind. The punishment for breaking this law is a large fine and if warranted two days in jail. You being you isn't an excuse either as they all know these rules. I will look into who it was and then make my own inquiries about this. This obviously falls under the legal matter tab. How do you feel about it?
Harry read the response with enthusiasm before penning his own response.
To be honest Will I feel scared. I know I'm probably not supposed to say that but its true. He is a highly unpredictable man who will it seems stop at nothing to get to me even if that means being exceptionally cunning about it. At least with Voldemort you knew it was him and me he was after. He at least came as himself not someone else. Even when he inhibited Professor Quirrel he was still himself just merely attached. I know it might make no sense to you right now but I felt somewhat securer knowing that when he was after me that was all he was ever after. I mean with Dumbledore it could be any number of things. He doesn't just want me. I am sure he also wants some form of retribution for himself based on what was written in the papers about him. He'll want to somehow clear his name and gain his popularity back but I can't see how that will be possible.
Will read the note and smiled to himself. Harry was finally learning to express himself fully and he was so proud of him.
Harry the fact that you are able to express yourself so openly is amazing. I promise you will never receive judgement from me about it. Do not think of yourself as unusual for feeling afraid. You know it is through admitting your fears that you get courage. Acknowledging our fears gives us strength. I cab see where you are coming from. You were the only one who was ever able to defeat Voldemort so him coming after you kind of makes sense in a way. I'm not at all saying it's right but I can at least see why he did it as you wounded him three times now and he would want some weird form of retribution for that. Don't worry about Dumbledore I've got plans for him and admitting your fear over him actually makes you stronger then him. He is a very scared man and scared men do all kinds of stupid things.
Thank you so much Will. You've made me feel somewhat calmer again. I would be truly lost without you and Hermione of this I am sure. I will speak to you tomorrow if the need arises. Goodnight.
Goodnight Harry and you are most welcome. I am more then happy to help you out whenever you need it.
It would seem that yet again after talking to Will he felt lighter and more tired then normal. He fell into bed beside Hermione and pulled her close kissing her neck gently as he drifted off to sleep. BANG! BANG! He awoke with a start. He could see a shadowy figure looming at the end of his bed leering at him. "THEY DID NOT BAN ME!"
