A Charmed Misconception
The next morning at Hogwarts, Ron went to wake Harry only to find him missing. He found a made bed and seven envelopes and a note.
"Neville go get Hermione and Professor McGonagall. Now!" Ron said. Then Ron picked up the note and read it.
Ron,
If you are reading this then I am gone. No not dead, but I have left the country. I don't know where I am going yet but it will be by muggle means and under a different name. I don't want to be found at this time. Just know that I will be back and hopefully in touch as soon as possible.
Love,
Harry
P.S. Please pass the letters to the appropriate people that have them, please.
When Hermione and Professor McGonagall reached the boys dorms, Ron had tears in his eyes and said, "Harry has left Hogwarts."
Then handed the note to professor McGonagall, Ron gathers the letters and went with the professor and Hermione to the headmaster's office. When they reached the gargoyle Professor McGonagall said the password, "Chocolate Cake." And the gargoyle let them pass. As soon as they entered the office, they saw Draco Malfoy and Professor Snape.
Professor McGonagall started. "Headmaster we need to see you now. We have a slight problem, and I don't know how to say this quite yet because I can't fully comprehend it myself." She said franticly.
"Harry is missing." Ron said bluntly.
"You mean that the golden boy is wondering around in the castle under that cloak of his." Snape sneered.
"No you greasy git, Harry has left the country for parts unknown. And I know that you have something to do with this. It is your fault and I know it has to be. What the Hell did you do to Harry?" Ron asked angrily.
"But that is impossible. The wards would have told us if Potter had left." Snape said with concern.
"Not if he left by muggle means." Ron started, "He wanted me to pass out these letters." He handed them to the proper people. Everyone stared at them like they might explode or something. Remus and Dobby entered the office after Professor Dumbledore sent for them, and Ron gave them their letters too. Just after explaining that Harry had left for parts unknown.
When all the letters were passed out, Hermione spoke up and asked, "Who will read their letter first?"
"I will." Draco said.
Draco,
I will keep my promise about keeping you from getting the Dark Mark. I just don't know whom yet. The only thing that I ask in return is that you play nice with Ron and Hermione.
Keep safe,
Harry.
"I'll go next." Ron said.
Ron,
I want you and Hermione to bring Draco into the fold. Show him the meaning of true friendship. Oh and for Merlin's sake tell Hermione that you love her then ask her out. (Laughter breaks out); before I forget that I am gay and ask her out myself. Ok back to Draco, I'm going to need help because the next nine months are going to be rough and by the end of it, I will be a bit busy.
Love,
Harry
"I wonder why he is going to be busy. Oh well, Remus you go next." Hermione said.
Remus (Dad),
I hope that you don't mind the dad part, but I look up to you as a dad. I hope you can see me as a son, too. I'm sorry I couldn't say goodbye in person, but time was of the essence. I want to talk to you soon, so get your Marauder's mirror out and have it activated in the next two days. I hope to be settled by then. I would also love for you to fix up Sirius' house. I'll give you details later.
Your son,
Harry
"Thank Merlin for Prongs' brilliance. James thought up of the mirrors for a class project in charms. My mirror stays activated in my pocket in case Harry needs me." Remus said.
"I'll read mine next. If I have too read it out loud." Snape said.
Professor,
I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble in class and out of class. I'm sorry about you having to give up your position as a spy as well. The next time we meet I should be able to remove the Dark Mark from your arm. Laever yas dna dnaw ruoy thiw rettel eht pat etavirp ni daer ot rettel ruoy fo tser eht rof. (For the rest of your letter to read in private tap the letter with your wand and say reveal.)
Harry
"The last bit is in secret code that I have locked away in my office, but it looks like an insult to me." Snape said.
"Well, I guess I'll read mine letter than Miss Granger can read hers last." Dumbledore said.
Grandfather,
Yes I figured it out, you are my grandfather and my grand mother is Professor McGonagall. We will need to talk as well. I have left my second mirror for you. It is at Sirius' house in the office top desk drawer. Get Moony to activate it for you. Please know that I am not mad at you. I just wished I had known that I had some one to turn to when I was being slapped around and starved to death by the Dursley's for being a freak (everyone gasped). I'll talk to you in a few days.
Love,
Harry
"Dobby will read his letter, from Harry Potter, sir" Dobby said.
"I didn't know that House Elves could read." Hermione and Draco said together.
"They can't, but Mr. Harry Potter, the great wizard that he is taught Dobby to read and write." Dobby said then sighed "Dobby told Harry Potter, sir that Dobby would like to be his House Elf but Harry Potter, sir told Dobby that he would rather be friends." He finished with tears in his eyes.
"Looks like you finally rubbed off on someone with your spew stuff, Hermione." Ron said.
"Spew?" Draco asked.
"S.P.E.W. which stands for Society for the Protection of Elfish Welfare. And I didn't know I had either." Hermione said.
"Harry Potter didn't teach Dobby because of S.P.E.W. Harry Potter did it because he said that I reminded him of a child." Dobby said while opening his letter.
Dobby,
Please don't take my leaving to heart. I'll be back as soon as I possible can. Be brave my little one, and remember if my absence is too much for you to bear you know how to find me. I consider you as the son I'll never had even though you are an Elf. Just know I am very proud of you, and I'll miss you.
Love,
Harry
Everyone was quite after that. Finally Hermione opened her letter and read it.
Hermione,
Look after Dobby for me. I consider him as my son. I know it sounds weird, but I don't care. Look after Draco for me, too. He pretends that he is tough, but he really isn't. And talk to Ron; he loves you, and you love him. If it wouldn't be too much trouble would you spend time with Myrtle she has a wicked sense of humor. We have been really close for the past couple of years. I'll tell you that she knows why I had to leave, but she won't tell you; or won't tell you everything any ways. She doesn't know where to find me either. I trust you to keep everything calm since you are the cleverest witch I know. I'll talk to you soon.
Harry
Sorry had to break here.
