Harry Potter and the Heir of Slytherin

The other boy had invited him over some time, stating that his gran would love to have him over for a day. Harry would probably take him up on his offer at some point, though the summer holidays were still young.

Among his friends who was not doing much was Daphne. Despite being from a wealthy and fairly old pureblood family, the most she would be doing this summer was joining her father for some of his political gatherings so he could show off his daughter to potential suitors, or the fathers of potential suitors.

Harry scowled a bit when he thought of Daphne's father. He could not claim to really know the man, as they only met two times, but the things he heard about Nathaniel Greengrass from his daughter was enough to give him an extreme dislike for the man.

If at all possible, Harry planned on getting Daphne out of her house as much as possible. At the very least he planned on seeing if he could convince her father to let her go with he and her other friends while they went shopping for their school supplies.

Of the letters he received, the most interesting one was from Susan Bones. After all of the usual topics contained within a letter of this nature, she had informed him that her aunt would like to speak with him and had written a letter of her own that she had sent with hers.

Well, that would explain who this last letter belonged to.

Harry looked at the very official looking envelope containing the letter from the person who could only be Amelia Bones. The coat of arms must have been the family crest for the House of Bones.

Wanting to read the letter as soon as possible, Harry decided to get started on replying to the letters he had received from his friends. It took over half an hour, but eventually he managed to finish writing all of the letters he would return to his friends. He would send Hedwig to deliver the letters some time tomorrow.

With his friends letters out of the way, Harry did not hesitate to crack the seal on Madam Bones' letter and pull it out so he could read.

Dear Mister Potter,

I hope you are doing well, and that your summer has been relaxing, for I have received some disturbing information from my niece, Susan, of an incident that occurred during your first year at Hogwarts. I would like very much to speak with you and hear your version of the events that happened at the end of the year. Please inform me of the soonest day you will be available so that I can plan on receiving you at my home.

I look forward to speaking with you and I know that Susan does too.

Sincerely,

Amelia Bones

Harry leaned back in his chair as he went over the letter. It was fairly straight forward and to the point, with little deviation from the main topic. Exactly what he would expect from a woman like Madam Bones. She really wasn't one for pleasantries, preferring to get straight to the heart of any matter.

That the 'heart of the matter' were the events of his first year intrigued him. He was not surprised that Amelia Bones knew of what happened. Susan had likely told her aunt about the events surrounding the Philosopher's Stone being at Hogwarts, as well as just who was after the stone.

Naturally, this would make the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement intrigued, and possibly wary as well. As the head of the DMLE it was Madam Bones' job to ensure the safety of wizarding Britain. The knowledge that the dark lord who led a reign of terror upon the magical world for several decades might actually be alive and coming out of hiding was definitely something she would be interested in knowing. This meeting was likely so she could learn what really happened and make a plan to deal with Voldemort.

Now how to respond? Obviously this meeting would be held. Even if the letter he received was not giving him what essentially amounted to a very subtle order, Harry would have still agreed to the meeting. One just does not allow the opportunity to gain an ally with such a prominently placed figure in the wizarding world unless they had a few knuts loose. All he needed was to figure out the best day for the meeting to take place.

Hopefully this meeting would give him a powerful ally to fight against Voldemort when the man made his next move.
