chapter seven

after a while draco and harry had both fallen asleep and then Snape and Dumbledore opened the doors of the great hall and walked in which gave a light creak that was loud enough to wake Harry up.

he opened his eyes and saw snape and dumbledore pass through the great doors

"I've done dungeons headmaster. No sign of black. Nor anywhere in the castle" said Snape

"I didn't really expect him to linger" said dumbledore nodding

"Remarkable feat , don't you think? To enger Hogwarts Castle on ones own completely unattended. You may recall prior to the start of term , I did express my concerns when you appointed professor lupin we all know him and black used to be rather clos-"

"I do not believe a single professor inside this castle would have helped Sirius black enter it , Severus. No I feel quite confident the castle is safe. And I'm more than willing to let the students return to their houses. But tomorrow ,for now let them sleep especially harry."

dumbledore shot his eyes to harry and he quickly shut his eyes and pretended to be asleep

"It's astonishing what the body can endure when the mind allows itself to rest"

A WHILE LATER

The fat lady had been replaced by a painting of a tiny knight sir Cadogan and he was dancing around chanting random words that you could hear across the hallway.

"What villains are these that trespass upon my private lands!" He exclaimed as he danced around holding a sword

"Who dares challenge Sir cadogan!"

"He's barking mad!" Seamus exclaimed

Dean rolled his eyes "what d'you except? After what happened to the fat lady none of the other pictures would take the job"

"But he keeps changing the password" Neville said sadly "he did it twice this morning I now have a list" he said as he looked down to a wrinkly piece of paper with different passwords

Ron and Harry walked out of the common room and found Dean , Seamus and Neville outside but just ignored them and walked right past them to get to professors lupins class

they finally got there but instead of finding professor lupin they found professor Snape. He strutted the room and closed all the blinds making the room go dark

"Turn to page 394." Professor Snape said as he walked to the professor lupins desk

"Excuse me sir but ... wheres professor lupin?" Harry asked

"That's not really your concern is it potter? Your professor finds it incapable of teaching at the present time. Page 394."

Harry sighed and opened his textbook to page 394 and an ancient horrific beast was shown. A werewolf.

"Werewolves? But sir we've only just begun learning about red caps and hinkypunks. We're not meant to start nocturnal beasts for weeks—"

"QUIET." Snape yelled which left Hermione at lost for words and she simply just looked down

"When did she come in? Did you see her come in?" Ron whispered to Harry and Harry shook his head

Hermione had been randomly appearing lately it was like she was at two places at the same time.

"Now. Which of you can tell me the difference between an animagus and a werewolf?"

Hermione shot her hand in the air but Snape ignored her as usual. Which Harry thought was so unfair since Hermione was the most brilliant person he knew.
