Hogsmeade Cancelled
The students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry had just finished dinner when Professor Dumbledore stood to make an announcement.
"I regret to say that, due to the increased Death Eater activity in the area, the Valentine's Day trip to Hogsmeade has been cancelled." There was an uproar from the students at this, but Dumbledore rose his hand to quiet them. "I have, however, reserved the Room of Requirements for each House to use for a full day." There was muttering at these words. "Let me explain" said Dumbledore. "Each House's students have to create their own indoor town of Hogsmeade. I have made arrangements with the local merchants and they will be on hand to sell their merchandise, products, or services from their shop or restaurant. The students from each House will have all day to visit their Hogsmeade on their given day. Oh, yes, bee sure to dress warmly, as I have charmed the room so the weather will be exactly like it is outside" he finished.
"This sounds like fun" Ginny said excitedly as she, Harry, Ron, and Hermione left eh Great Hall.
"I think it would be interesting" said Hermione.
A few hours later, the Gryffindors had their Hogsmeade planned and Harry and Ron volunteered to tell Dumbledore.
"Ah, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, I assume your House has their Hogsmeade planned already"
"Yes, sir" said Harry.
"Very well. Now if you don't mind, I have a lot of work I must get back to. Good night."
"Good night, Professor" they said as they exited the circular room.
Dumbledore raised his wand after the two boys and smiled to himself as he muttered the incantation.
"Diligo alica."
