Chapter 4
At 8 o clock in the morning everyone is sat around the table at The Burrow eating Breakfast in silence when Mrs Weasley asks "Have you three decided what you're going to say in that speech of yours?" Hermione then tells her that they have and an hour later they all use the Floo Network to get to Hogwarts.
When they get there they are greeted by the Head Girl and Boy and then Harry, Ron and Hermione go and find Professor McGonagall. "Oh hello you three, how are you?" she asks. Harry answers her by saying "Fine thank you Professor".
"Professor, we were wondering if we could go and have a walk around the castle before the service starts?" asks Hermione. Professor McGonagall says that it is fine but that they should be back in time for the service to start at 10. The three friends then walk off.
They first of all go to the third floor corridor from their first year where they found Fluffy the three headed dog who has since been moved to the Forbidden Forest. After thinking about the memory of this room Ron says "Do you guys remember Fluffy?". Harry then replies by saying " Course I bloody do, you don't forget a three headed dog easily".
Next they go to the corridor from their second year where the wall said The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Enemies of the Heir beware. "There are so many good and bad memories in this place" says Hermione. "Yeah, Hogwarts will always be a special place".
After visiting a few other places including Moaning Myrtles Bathroom they go to the Gryffindor Common Room. "I think this is the one place in the whole of Hogwarts that I'll miss the most, well this and the Quidditch Pitch" says Ron. Harry and Hermione laugh at that "Hogwarts was the first place that I felt was home, and you two were the first friends I ever had" remarks Harry. "Oh don't Harry I might cry" replies Hermione. After a few moments of contemplation of all the good memories that the three friends have had in that room Harry says "Come on , there's something I want to ask Professor McGonagall before the service starts.
Back in the Great Hall Harry, Ron and Hermione walk up to Professor McGonagall and Harry asks "Professor, I've had an idea, after the service I thought that we could have an honorary game of Quidditch, we charge entrance for that and for refreshments and all the proceeds could go to St Mungos". Professor McGonagall replies with "That Mr Potter is a wonderful idea, I'll leave you to announce that at the end of your speech a little later".
Ten minutes later McGonagall stands on the stage "Ladies and Gentlemen, if you would all take your seats then we'll begin today's memorial service". Everyone sits down.
