Harry Potter's Little Sister
Chapter 9: The Chat With Albus Dumbledore
The next day, breakfast was lively and it was post day. The owls swooped in and out of the windows in the Great Hall. Harry looked anxious and scared while waiting for his owl, Hedwig. "It's OK Harry, she'll be here soon enough." Said Hermione, just as nervous as Harry. "Why are you all so jittery? It's only post." Said Juliet, clearly not getting the point. "Only post? It's not only post, it's The Daily Prophet!" Said Harry. "What's that?" asked Juliet. "It's the most popular newspaper known to wizard kind! You're so naïve!" screamed Harry. "Well sorry! I've known I'm a witch lets see, how long? Three days!" yelled Juliet back. "Stop it both of you! You both are naïve about each other's lives. Now sit!" ordered Hermione "Yeah, you two have known each other two days and your already fighting like you've known each other ten years! Now shut up both a ya!" Ron said. "Hey do you know where Ginny is? She hasn't been here all morning." Said Juliet worried. "Well, she was here for dinner. She couldn't have snuck out, Snape is guarding the door every night since Dumbledore's speech we never heard." said Ron. "Ron, you're a genius!" yelled Juliet, kissing Ron on the cheek as she strode out of sight.
"Professor, where is Professor Dumbledore's office?" rang out Juliet's voice though the empty classroom of Professor McGonagall. "Follow me Ms. Patterson." Said McGonagall. "Professor, I know that Harry's my brother." Said Juliet shyly. "Well then Ms. Potter, up we go." McGonagall said referring to a flight of fairly steep stairs. They went up about ten flights then stepped into what seemed to be a wizard version of an elevator. "Lemon drops." Said McGonagall shortly. The entire shaft started upward while spinning. They then appeared in what Juliet guessed was Dumbledore's office. Half the walls were covered in sleeping portraits that were moving. "Um Professor, are those paintings, moving." Juliet said. "Why yes of course." Said McGonagall. "Albus, you have a visitor." Rang out McGonagall's voice. Albus Dumbledore came walking out seeming very pleased to have a visitor. "Sit down please." His crackling voice warm and calming. "Sir, I would like you to say what you did at dinner last night, I was not present. If you could, that'd be brilliant." Said Juliet with shyness in her voice. "Well of course. The Chamber of Secrets is not a myth, but it is opened again. After 50 years, we were not expecting it, but be warned, do not look in to the eyes of the creature who roams these hallways, you will pay the ultimate price, death." Said Dumbledore, clearly pleased with himself. "Thank you" Juliet said shortly, then walked out, afraid of telling the others.
