Nobody answered the door. At first, Harry wondered if they had in fact left for something urgent and started to count down other possible places he could stay for the night. The list was short. That’s when he saw movement in the living room window and, while looking inside, understood that the whole family was gathered, but decided not to open the door. Lucky for him, the door was unlocked, and he could join them. "What are you doing here, boy?" could be heard from the living room area. Harry recognised the voice immediately and flinched. He entered the Christmas-decorated space. "Dumble- my principle," he was quick to correct. "-said he’d informed you of my arrival.." Harry spoke in a shy voice. Where are his Gryffindor pride and bravery now? "I don’t want to hear another word from you, understand?"Now go to your room."Not much of a room," Harry thought, but only in his head; he knew better than to say that out loud.
