THIRD PERSON POV

Summer was creeping over the grounds around the castle; sky and lake
alike turned periwinkle blue and flowers large as cabbages burst into
bloom in the greenhouses. But with no Hagrid visible from the castle windows, striding the grounds with Fang at his heels, the scene didnt look right to Harry; no better, in fact, than the inside of the castle, where things were so horribly wrong.

Harry and Ron had tried to visit Hermione, but visitors were now barred from the hospital wing.

"Were taking no more chances,"Madam Pomfrey told them severely
through a crack in the infirmary door. "No, Im sorry, theres every chance the attacker might come back to finish these people off. . . ."

Both of them had seen how hard Hermione's petrification affected Y/N, he looks pale the whole time and has bags under his eyes which are red and puffy indicating that he has been crying. During classes also he doesn't pay attention to it instead focuses on his ring and dog tag that Hermione had given him along with the half pendent Bonnie had given him.

People thought that he was going threw the same thing as his other friends but what no one knew except for Ginny the amount of guilt eating him up for petrifying them his crush and his sister.

And now Dumbledore gone, fear had spread as never before, so that the sun warming the castle walls outside seemed to stop at the mullioned windows.

There was barely a face to be seen in the school that didnt look worried and
tense, and any laughter that rang through the corridors sounded shrill and
unnatural and was quickly stifled.

Two people, however, seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the atmosphere of
terror and suspicion. Crabbe and Goyle were strutting around the school as though they had just been appointed Head Boy. Y/N didn't realize what he was so pleased about until the Potions lesson about two weeks after Dumbledore and
Hagrid had left, when, sitting right beside Draco, Y/N overheard Crabbe and Goyle gloating about it.

"I always thought your Father might be the one who got rid of Dumbledore,"he said, not troubling to keep his voice down. "I told you he thinks
Dumbledores the worst headmaster the schools ever had. Maybe well get a
decent headmaster now. Someone who wont want the Chamber of Secrets closed. McGonagall wont last long, shes only filling in. . ."

Snape swept past Harry, making no comment about Hermiones empty seat
and cauldron.

"Sir", said Goyle loudly. "Sir, why dont you apply for the headmasters job?"

"Now, now, Goyle", said Snape, though he couldnt suppress a thin-lipped
smile. "Professor Dumbledore has only been suspended by the governors. I daresay hell be back with us soon enough."

"Yeah, right", said Crabbe, smirking. "I expect youd have Fathers vote,
sir, if you wanted to apply for the job — Ill tell Father youre the best teacher
here, sir"—
