The early August heat was exhausting. Either that, or it was dealing with the press. A combination of both maybe? It hasn't been this hot since before fifth year when I was laying underneath the window-
"Harry! Pay attention."
"I was thinking about the heat."
"Of course you were, but you still need to pay attention to the Minister of Magic."
I cast a tired eye to Shacklebolt who was looking at us in equal parts frustration and amusement.
God the way that Dumbledore wore that twinkle and Fudge wore that bowler hat, Kinsley now wears his amusement.
The once overly somber and serious man seemed to have done a nearly 180 turn since the early days of the war. I do not think he ever smiled once back at the Weasley's before the wedding, but that might just be a sign of the times.
"As I was saying Harry, you need to return to Hogwarts."
"Why?"
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"Merlin's Scepter will be activated, it will choose 9 Lords and Ladies of magic as well as a King. If you aren't made king you need to kill the new king!"
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"The Curse on the DADA position will break and we need you there solidify the wards"
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"We need you to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher."
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"Because of a Magical Contract you signed by stepping on the train that you will finish your education there"
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"There is a time loop going on an anyone who steps foot on Hogwarts grounds on September the First goes back in time to the day after you defeated Voldemort. I joined the loop after the fourth time, we are now on the twenty seventh and think you need to stop it."
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"We discovered a room Dumbledore built that has all sort of weird plans involving you somehow dying or becoming Snape's love slave."
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"The 666th solar eclipse since Merlin's death is coming and if a virgin wizard who defeated a dark lord isn't sacrificed all magic will be lost."
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"High Elves and Dwarves appeared there and are demanding your presence."
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"Vampires have kidnapped the staff and are turning them one at a time."
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"A seer predicted a zombiepocolypse and that Hogwarts would be the only structure left before the Zombies die."
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"We found a portal to a world with these creatures called Pokegirls we want you to investigate"
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"We found a portal to a world [Crossover] that we want you to investigate"
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Harry looked back, gave a yawn, and said, "No."
Your guys turn.
