"Did you hear? Dumbledore`s back" I heard a third year say.

"No" The other third year said.

"Yeah and Umbridge was last seen in the Forbidden forest" I finished my breakfast and went to Dumbledore`s office.

"Fringy pink kittens" I cringed at the password. The statue didn`t move. So he really was back.

"Excuse me" I said to the statue "I am Head girl and I need to speak with Dumbledore" It moved aside and I walked up to the door.

I knocked and I heard an enter. I opened the door and saw Professor Dumbledore in his rightful chair.

"Hello Miss Munroe I was wondering if I`d see you today. Lemon Drop?"

"Yes please" I took a lemon drop and sat down "I actually came to say welcome back. Hogwarts wasn`t the same without you"

"Thank you for that compliement. Now as to your apprenticship.
You will return to Hogwarts as usual next year or you may stay the summer"

"I think I will stay the summer if that is alright with you"

"It`s perfectly fine with me. Now you will be staying in the guest rooms near the astronomy tower."

"Thank you sir" I said.

"Oh and Sonny"

"Yes?"

"Go easy on Severus he`s having a hard time right now"

I spluttered. "What do you mean?"

"I think you know perfectly well" He winked and I left his office quickly. He had that devious twinkle in his eyes.
