Chapter 4: cockroach clusters & no map
"Why doesn't J.K put a fold out map in the books!? I mean it would make this so much easier!" stormed Annie in frustration, completely overlooking that the books were supposedly fiction.
After a few more minutes of cursing J.K. Rowling for not putting a map of Hogwarts in the books, they settled on waiting for McGonagall to come in with the first year. Soon after they decided on it, Harry came running out of the Great Hall.
"I just realized that you don't know your way to the Headmasters office" panted Harry who was out of breath.
"So did we, we just figured we wait for a professor to come along and we would ask them" Annie said, careful not to mention that they were going to wait for McGonagall to come in with the first years because they were not suppose to know she did that and saying that would lead too many questions. Not that they hadn't already let too much slip!
"I know where it is, so I'll take you there" he said and started leading them up stair case after staircase and down many corridors when they stopped in front of an large ugly statue of a gargoyle.
"Darn it I don't know the new password! Ummm…. Let's see lemon drops" nothing "Berrty Botts. oh wait he doesn't like those does he!"
"Let me have a go at it" Hayden asked, smirking slightly.
"Please, Please, PLEASE let us in it's really, really important!" she cried to the unmoving statue. She swore to her friends later that this was only an attempt to make Harry believe they were new. Sure…..
"Oh for heaven's sake try cockroach cluster!" yelled Annie and with that the gargoyle leaped aside to let them in.
"Cockroach cluster?" Harry asked, staring at them in amazement
"What in the world made you think of that?"
"Well Dumbledore's a weird man so guessed it was worth a shot" she said with a shrug even though she had all ready known it would be the password because that's what it had be in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" and she guessed it would be the same this time around.
They made their way up the long spiral staircase and knocked on the humungous door. From inside they heard a faint voice call 'enter'. So they gently peeled back the door to the amazing office it was hiding.
