Narnia? Isn't That a Muggle Story?
Leaving already?
Harry lay awake that night thinking about the day. He was finally back home or at least what he considered home.
"NO…not spiders…no I won't go in the pot…yes you said it very politely but I don't want to got in a pot."
Harry chuckled as he listened to Ron dream. Ron always seemed to talk in his sleep. They were strange dreams too. Harry's mind started drifting to another Weasley he was very close to. Ginny was getting more comfortable around him each year and she barely blushed when they talked anymore. Harry knew that Ginny had liked him since her first year, but she seemed to have put it aside. Harry couldn't help but notice how pretty Ginny had become. Harry fell into a clam sleep with dreams of a certain redhead.
The next day while Harry, Hermoine, and Ron were walking to double potions they were met by Ginny.
"Hey Ginny. What are you doing down here?" Hermoine asked.
"Dumbledore wants to see us in his office immediately. He didn't say why but he said it was very important."
"Well we can't keep Dumbledore waiting can we," Ron said.
"O come on Ronald, we all know you just are happy to miss double potions," Hermoine pointed out.
"What it isn't like you can blame me."
"Come on you two, Dumbledore is waiting for us. He said to hurry," Ginny said while trying to get her brother to shut up and drop the subject.
When they reached the gargoyle that leads to Dumbledore office they realized they couldn't get up without the password.
"Ginny, Didn't you ask for the password?"
"Of course I didn't. If I had we would be walking up the stairs right now Ron." Ginny said in a matter of fact way.
Suddenly the gargoyle slide aside reviling the stairway. Dumbledore came down the stairway and lead the way up into his office. He congered up some chairs and motioned them to sit.
"I understand you are probably wondering what I have called you here for and quite frankly I can't blame you for wondering. What I am about to tell you might come as a shock but I feel that it is the best choice for our situation. I have decided to send you four out to the country. I will be going with you and Professor McGonagall will be filling in for me while I am gone."
"But professor, we don't understand. Why must we be sent away?" Hermoine asked.
"I know why. It's Voldemort isn't it, professor." Harry said with a look of pure hate. Ginny, Ron, and Hermoine had seen that look far too many times.
"Yes. I am bringing you out to the country to train you to be able to combine your powers to defeat him. While we are out there you must become closer to each other then you have ever been. It will be your friendship and love that will in the end kill him. I am sorry to say that it is the only way to prepare you all. I have foreseen that it will be you four who will be the ones to save man-kind." Dumbledore explained.
No one was sure what to think. Harry was surprised that he didn't have to face Voldemort alone but, he was worried for his friends. He didn't want them to share the same fate as his parents. He couldn't do that to them.
"Professor, I thought I was supposed to face him alone?" Harry asked. He just had to know the answer.
"Well Harry my boy, that was the original idea but as you got on in years we noticed that your friends would never let you do it alone. They would have found a way to help you the most they could." Dumbledore said
"Harry, you should have realized that we would never let you do that without us. We will never abandon you when you need us the most," Hermoine said.
Harry just sat there amazed that his friends would be willing to risk their lives to help him. Harry's thoughts were interrupted by Dumbledore.
"Well, it is decided. You will pack at once and return to my office at we will travel to the house where we will train you. Please be quick and bring all you have with you. You never know what you will need where we are going."
"Professor, what is the password so we can get into your office," Hermoine said remembering their previous dilemma.
"O, I'm sorry. It is Aslan."
The four didn't wait to ask about Aslan. They had to hurry up and pack their things. They were all excited about the kind of spells they would learn.
"I do hope the house has a Library or else I don't know what I'll do."
"Hermoine can you not think of books for one minuet. I mean really think of the adventure we'll have and NO SNAPE!" Ron exclaimed.
"Of course you pick up on that Ron. You are so predictable."
"Sod off, Ginny"
"OK we will meet in the common room in 15 minuets. That should be enough time to pack." Harry said as he was walking up the stairs to his room.
They all met in the common room but Ron was late as usual. The walk to the office was silent as they wondered what this year brought. Harry turned his head slightly so he could look at Ginny. He just couldn't resist. She was so pretty. She caught him looking and she didn't blush. Harry's heart fell slightly thinking she must have gotten over her little crush. Harry couldn't think about that now. Not until Voldemort was gone forever. They finally arrived at the headmaster's office and made their way up the spiral staircase.
"Professor, We are ready to go," Hermoine called out into the office.
There was no one there but there was a note reading:
Students,
Grab hold of the ball all together. It is a portkey to the house.
Dumbledore
"Well, here goes nothing." Ginny said while grabbing hermoine's hand. The next thing they knew they where standing outside a great house as Dumbledore came down the steps.
"Welcome to your home for a while," He greeted them.
