Minerva was going through the letters and the list of first years. She was separating them between muggleborns and everyone else. She flicked her wand at the pile of pureblood and half-bloods and they jumped off her desk and flew out the window. There they met with a flock of owls and each owl grabbed one and took off flying towards the recipient. She started going through the muggleborns and sorted them by location. It was easier to schedule appointments that way rather than jumping back and forth. She would schedule all of England's one day and then all of Scotland's and so on.

She looked back over the list to make sure each name was marked off. A few of the names stood out. Draco Malfoy would be arriving she hoped he wasn't as big of a spoiled brat as his father was. Susan Bones was on the list she was sure Amelia would be a wreck. Ronald Weasley was the next name and it made her pause. It wasn't just the thought of another Weasley or hoping he wouldn't be like the twins. No this name stood out for a different reason. Ronald was the same age as Harry Potter, she was sure of it. Looking back over the names again she did not see Harry's name on the list. Hoping she was wrong she quickly left her office with the list in hand.

"Albus." She called when she reached his office, "Please tell me I'm wrong."

"I've not known you to be wrong often." He lifted an eyebrow, "What seems to be the matter."

"Should Harry Potter be coming to Hogwarts this year?" she asked.

"Yes he is I'm sure he'll be very much like Lily." Albus smiled, "You weren't wrong."

"Then why isn't his name on the list?" she asked and handed the list over fretting as she did.

"What?" Albus took the list and looked it over. Potter was not on the list. He stared for several moments before he dropped the list and stood, "I better go check."

"We should have never left him there." Minerva wrung her hands, "What were we thinking just dropping him off like that."

"Don't worry." Albus waved her off as he headed for the floo, "I'm sure it's just a minor error somewhere."
