Silent Destiny

Chapter 8: Dumbledore Knew All Along

*You and Harry are walking to the Owlery*

"Do you know if they have paper and a quill at the owlery?"-Y/N

"They should, we can just use my owl, Hedwig. Dumbledore recognizes my owl more than the others I'm pretty sure"-Harry

"You know, as much walking as we have done in the last two days considering we don't have as many classes as the classes below us, we are definitely going to gain some calve muscles" Y/N jokes.

"Haha, yeah, not that you need it, you've gotten more fit over the summer. Were you practicing quidditch all summer?"-Harry

"I did a little. But I did a lot of cardio exercises over the summer at the marine biology camp I went to in the U.S. Who knew swimming would help me more than any other exercise?" You stated with a grin.

"That sounds like fun. Better than the summer I've had. And it sounds like Id actually enjoy being around the animals. They seem like less trouble"-Harry

"Oh, they are less trouble, though most of them are trained and bond with their caretakers. There's a difference between them and Hagrid. Hagrid respects them in a different way, he cherishes them by realizing that they are wild animals and lets them react how they would in the wild."-Y/N

Next thing you know someone bumps into you and Harry.

"Hey McNugget," Xana says to Harry. "Sup champ" She then says to you.

"Hey, Xana! What're you doing here?"- Y/N. She has a bag full of books she brought with her.

"Sending a letter to my family back home. Are you doing the same thing?"-Xana

"I should send one to my sister and Nadia. But not right now. I'll wait another week, I don't have much to tell her right now."-Y/N

Xana eyes Harry and you suspiciously. "Then why are you two going to the owlery?"-Xana

"To send a letter to Dumbledore. He hasn't sent us one yet, and we have questions to ask him"-Harry

"What about?"-Xana

You look at Harry silently asking for his permission to tell her what you both are up to. He nods.

"The prophecy. We have some news to tell you. I'll explain once we finish our letters on the way back."-Y/N

 Sometime later, you and Harry finish writing your letters and give them to Hedwig. She flies off towards the castle. Xana is waiting off to the side.

"Okay, let's go. I think Dumbledore will get the message soon."-Y/N

You and Harry both tell Xana what you both had discussed at the Lake.

"So, you both are connected to Voldemort? He can read your mind too Y/N?"-Xana

"Essentially. I still don't know how or why. Which is why I keep asking Dumbledore"-Y/N

"What could he possibly be hiding from you now? I've noticed. Dumbledore always kept an eye on the both of you. I thought it was just endearment that you are Harry's friend Y/N. But now that you've told me this, he has always had a plan for you too."-Xana

You look at her stunned. She was right. 

"But that doesn't even make sense. How could he have possibly known that I am involved and kept it hidden for over 17 yrs since I was born? I mean, how did he know that I would randomly be able to enter the dark lords' mind, and he mine randomly towards the last years of Hogwarts"-Y/N cried out.

"I don't know. But now that you are 17, the ministry doesn't have a trace over you anymore. Which means the dark lord probably knows that too, and Dumbledore is running out of time"-Xana
