Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter

The next morning, Harry and Ron headed over to the Great Hall when they noticed something

different in the atmosphere. For some reason everyone seemed to be excited about something.

"Umm Harry?" Ron looked around the hall, confused.

"Yes Ron?" said Harry.

"It's 7:30 in the morning right?" Ron asked.

Harry could understand why Ron was questioning the time of the day. The whole hall was lighted by the flaming torches that

are usually used at night seeing how the sun has set and all.

"Ron, Harry!" Hermione waved from their table.

'What's going on?" asked Ron.

"Yeah, why is everyone soo.." Harry started.

"Excited?" Fred interrupted.

"Well look up!" Ginny pointed at the enchanted ceiling.

Both Harry and Ron looked up and saw that the there were thousands upon thousands of birds outside that seemed

to be heading north, towards the Forbidden Forest. There were soo many of them that the whole flock blocked the

sunlight!

Ron whistled at the sight as Fred and George started to make bets on how long this would last.

'They're carrier pigeons!" exclaimed Allura.

Hermione beamed at Allura as she made her way towards the Gryffindor table. Harry glanced at Draco and saw that

he was quietly talking to the other Slytherins.

"Knew you would get sick and tired of the Slytherins!" Seamus said.

"Oh come on Seamus, they're not that bad." said Allura while she was laughing.

"You know Allura too?" asked Harry.

"Sure, she's a family friend on my Mom's side. My da loves her like another daughter. You would expect her to visit

us a lot more, wouldn't you Harry?" Seamus said as he mockingly glared at her.

"Oh come on Seamus, you know that I visit everytime I come to Ireland. Its you guys who should visit a lot more."

Allura said playfully punched his arm.

"Anyways, what's up with these carrier pigeons, is that what you called them Allura?" asked Ron

"I don't know..." Hermione said as she looked at the ceiling.

"Neither do I. All I know is that they are an extinct species of birds." Allura answered frowning at the

the teachers.

Harry looked over at the teachers and he saw that Hagrid was beaming at Snape, while McGonagall was talking

quietly with Cerillia and Flitwick. The other professors were also talking amongst themselves.

"Well, it seems that we're going to know soom enough." muttered Ron.

"My dear students," started Dumbledore. The whole hall immediately grew quiet.

"It seems that you are all wondering what is going on, while others are taking advantage of the
situation." he said as he looked towards Fred and George with a smile as they were waving towards
him.

"Well you see," Dumbledore started as the students listened to his every word with baited breath.
"There are a lot of birds outside. Lots and Lots of birds. So many birds that they are blocking the
sunlight with their little bodies. Yes, lots of birds. And that is what is going on." With that Dumbledore
sat down and started to eat his breakfast acting as if this was an everyday occurence.

The students must of looked hilarious because Snape started to laugh like a maniac. The whole
Hall resounded with his laughter as all the students looked as is he had grown another head.
The professors started to laugh along with him as he started to point at the students and laugh
harder. Dumbledore, on the other hand, continued eating. It truly was a sight for sore eyes.

When they finally calmed down, they realized that the students were still staring at them. McGonagall
glared at them and said" Well what are you waiting for? Get to Class!!" With that she left the Hall.

As the students started to leave, Allura leaned down and whispered in Harry's ear.

"Liked what you saw Harry?" she grinned as Harry flushed, "Now, now Harry. You musn't

feel so shy, he is rather handsome when he laughs."

He glared at her and left.

Please don't tell me that this is happening.

"I did not expect you to actually attend here." Draco said as he was staring into the fire.

"Nor did I but what can I do? Your Master summoned me here Draco." Allura answered.

Draco looked up, startled. Ever since the Dark Lord has been revived, a many events has occured.

As expected, his father proved his loyalty by handing Draco over toVoldermort, as expected the Dark Lord

gave him the Dark Mark and as expected he is to attend every Death Eaters meeting. It was there, in a quite

unexpected manner, did he learned a most disturbing fact.
