It had been a normal day and predictable day for the students of Hogwarts.

But for one person it had been a day of contemplation.

Albus Dumbledore surveyed the array of students before him in the great hall thinking about what he was going to announce to them. With a deep breath he stood up and silence fell immediately.

' I have an announcement to make to you all. I have decided to try an experiment out on a few students. I will not tell you what this experiment is. I shall also not tell you who will be the guinea pigs; because I don't know myself who they will choose. I tell you this news so that everyone is aware that some may act strangely for the next week or so when the experiment begins, and to tell you not to laugh or taunt the chosen few.

That is all. You may return to your dinners.' And on that note he lowered himself back into his chair to watch the chatter erupt around him.


'I bet its Potter.'

Over at the Slytherin table, Draco and Blaise were discussing who would be chosen for the experiment.

'Of course it will, him and Dumbledore are the best of friends. And as for this shit about "I don't know who they will choose." He's the one conducting the experiment how could he not know?' Draco concluded his eyes wandering over a certain Gryffindor.

Harry really was hot. Draco had seen him when he was sad, confused, angry, excited, happy; every emotion you could think of basically, and every time he was irresistible.

No one knew that Draco secretly fancied Harry, and no one would ever have reason to guess either.

First of all Harry hated Draco, and Draco acted the same way in public. And secondly Harry wasn't gay.

'Why are all the hot ones straight?' he asked Blaise.

'I know mate, I know. We've got that Gryffindork Finnigan, the loser Hufflepuff Zacharias Smith, the pompous twat Ernie Macmillan, that over-camp queen Terry Boot, and Crabbe and Goyle. Are any of them remotely attractive to you? Because I don't think they are.' he whispered squeakily.

'You're one to talk about being over-camp Blaise, and no I don't think any of them are remotely attractive. Come on lets go back downstairs, if you start now you might be able to finish mine and your homework before dawn.' He rose and the pair exited the hall and walked down to their dungeon common room.


'I wonder what it will be about.' Exclaimed Hermione excitedly.

'I don't really care to be honest. It'll probably something really complicated or heroic, something I won't be very good at.' Ron sighed and set down his fork, rubbing his eyes wearily.

' Don't be like that Ron! From the sounds of it Dumbledore doesn't choose so everyone has an equal chance! Be positive Ron!' Harry tried to perk him up, but to no avail. Exhausted he stood up and the other two followed him out of the hall and up to the common room.


Up in his circular study, Dumbledore thought about what he was about to do.

The result was similar to a game of ping-pong between the responsible, mature voice (often represented by professor McGonagall) and the fun side that never comes out to play very often.

' But what if someone gets hurt?' the responsible voice asked.

' That's ridiculous, now shh! I've got to concentrate.'

' I just want to make sure you've thought this through'

' Of course I have! I just think the students deserve some fun!'

'But by releasing the sins?'

'Look, I know what I'm doing; the people chosen will be able to hand it. Trust me! Now shut up!'

He took a small ebony box down from the top of a tall cabinet. After brushing off a fair bit of dust he opened the smooth lid. Inside were seven different coloured balls of light. Dumbledore turned over the box so that they hovered in midair momentarily and then shot off in separate directions. Smiling he replaced the box on top of the shelf.

' I hope you're sure about this.'

' Of course I am. Let the adventure begin!'
