(A/N: This is my third chapter (actually chapter two, but the prologue makes it three), and I am not sure where I want this story to go. If anybody has any type of recommendation (good or bad) I would greatly appreciate it.)

The News

Harry quickly walked through the school corridors (he had learned all the secret passageways and other short-cuts throughout all his years at Hogwarts) heading toward the Gryffindor common room. It only took him about five minutes to make it from the headmaster's office all the way up to the common room (a journey that would take first-year students around thirty minutes). He was very excited that he was able to go with his friends, so he jogged up the stairs, told the lady on the portrait the password, and searched the common room for his friends. He easily found them (they were sitting in the chairs that they adopted throughout the years, warm, plush chairs sitting near the fireplace) and bounded toward them. Hermione had a worried look on her face "where were you, we were so worried?" she inquired.

"Well, I was at the headmaster's office, we were discussing Exorc"-Harry explained.

"Keep your voice down" Ron urged quietly.

"We were discussing the spell that we read about in the library" Harry whispered.

"And, what did he say?" Hermione asked.

"He said that he never heard of it, and then Snape walked in, he had heard rumors about it being underneath Azkaban, and then Dumbledore said that it would be very dangerous, and that Ron, you, and I can leave as soon as possible to find out about that spell." Harry explained to Ron and Hermione. Apparently, some people overheard and were watching them talk.

"C'mon" Ron said. "Let's go to the dormitory." They all walked together to the dormitory, and there were significantly less people there. "Okay, what are we going to do?

"Well, we need to prepare to go to the crypt." Harry said

"But, we need all the preparation we can get; we are not completely ready yet…" Hermione said

"Hermione, we are as ready as we will get!" Harry told her, forcefully.

"Very well, when are we going to leave?" Hermione asked.

"I told you before, as soon as possible" Harry said, irritated. Dumbledore entered the common room.

"I have you planned to leave in one week" he said, beaming. "I certainly hope you are not going to spend this time bickering with your friends, you should prepare!" He said, still chuckling at his own joke.

"Professor," Harry asked, "How are we to prepare, after classes, on the weekends… I do not understand"

"Oh, I must apologize; I have cut your classes for the next week" said Dumbledore, I certainly hope that you devote this time to practice. And then Dumbledore left the room.

(A/N: I believe I left this chapter at a more… exciting note. I hope that these chapters are getting better and better. By the way (again), feel free to send me a review or a PM of how you think I am writing this story and how to make it better.)
