Hi there, my name's Ali. And I'm a potterhead obviously. I'm a Slytherpuff but more of a Slytherin ngl and I'm new to making wattpad stories. If you see any grammar mistakes or anything just leave a comment. Thank you for reading this now let's get into the story lmao-











A few months passed after Harry and everyone else at Hogwarts defeated Voldemort. Minerva McGonagall asked al the seventh years if they would like to come for another year at Hogwarts since last time they were focused on defeating Voldemort more than studying which is understandable. Just a few of them accepted. The other seventh years decided to stay at home because after the war most of them lost their loved ones, for example: friends, classmates, family members ect. The only people who decided to come on for another year were Hermione, Ron, Harry, Luna, Neville, Ginny, Pansy, Blaise and Draco.  (Author note: this is just a little spoiler :p)

Harry's POV:

I just woke up from another nightmare. After a few seconds I hear the alarm and saw that the clock was 6 am. I remembered I was at the Dursleys and that I had a lot of chores to do today. Even more than usual if that's even possible. I got up, put my glasses, brushed my teeth and then went back to Dudley's second bedroom to change. The second I open the door I see a brown owl peeking at my window with a letter tied to her leg. I knew it was either Ron, Hermione or someone from Hogwarts who wanted to talk to me.

I slowly open the window careful to not make any noise since everyone in the house was still asleep. I untie the letter and she flies back into the unknown. When I look at the letter, where it's supposed to close I see the wax with the Hogwarts emblem on it and at the bottom right corner it's written "Minerva McGonagall".  I was kind of shocked because I didn't expect her to write to me but here we are I guess.

I open the letter and it says:

Dear Harry Potter,

This is Minerva McGonagall writing to you. I would like to ask you and the other ex-seventh years if you would mind coming back to Hogwarts for an eight year. Since last year you all fought for everyone's life and your own, of course you didn't have time to study. Please answer me as fast as possible. This year will start sooner than the others because we might need a little help with making Hogwarts a safe place again. Thank you for your time.

      - Sincerely, Minerva McGonagall"







I felt excited about another year. "At least I can get out of here" he thought. Then went to the kitchen to wash the dishes and do other chores.



Time skip to: after Harry is finally done with all the chores



"Finally done.." he thought to then threw himself in the bed.  He looked at the clock and it was 11 pm. Then he remembers he has to feed Hedwig and took the piece of bread he managed to sneak out of the kitchen to his room, and gave it to her.

He was going to fall asleep until he heard his door unlocking and he sat up scared thinking "Oh my God, what did I do now. They never open my door unless they want to scream at me, beat me or feed me. Which is really doubtful at this hour." A few seconds pass and his aunt Petunia opens the door.


"Your uncle, Dudley and I are out of town tomorrow. You better finish all your chores before we get home or you won't get food for another 2 weeks. Understood?" She said with an irritated tone as always. Harry nodded as he remembered of something he had to do.

"I have to write to Minerva!" He said in his head and took a piece of paper from under his books, and started writing.

"Dear Minerva McGonagall,

Thank you so much for the letter and the invitation to Hogwarts again. I'd really like to come back for another year since last year I couldn't pay attention on any of my classes. I would like to ask when is the year starting. Sorry for the late answer though. Have an amazing night.

                                              -Harry Potter"


After he's done writing it he ties it to Hedwig's leg, opens the window carefully and says: "Bring this to Minerva McGonagall." The snowy owl nods like she understood and flies away.


After 15 minutes Hedwig flies into the room with another letter tied to her leg. He unties it and it says:


"Dear Harry Potter,

Thank  you for taking in consideration another year at Hogwarts. Also, I am sorry for not mentioning the day. It's starting on August 1st. Have an amazing night too."

-Minerva McGonagall


Harry smiled at the thought he would be meeting his friends again in one week. Harry gasped. "ONE WEEK?! OH MY GOD." He said in his head.


Then he remembered what his aunt Petunia had said. However, he had a plan. Tomorrow is going to be the day he's actually escaping this nightmare. Then he noticed she's forgot to lock his door again. Harry smirked and then went to bed excited for the next day.
