1 Chapter 5 Dumbledore's warning

Harry and Hermione stood waiting for Dumbledore in his office, accompanied by Snape.

Professor McGonagall burst into the room, which looked about as red as a beetroot. She looked like she was about to explode threw anger. Snape frowned at her and told her to wait until Dumbledore came. Harry and Hermione exchanged looks of bewilderment, neither of them knew how what they had done was so incredibly bad.

Dumbledore came threw the door looking really disappointed. He shook his head and sat behind your desk.

"You know that what you did was very wrong, don't you?" Dumbledore asked the two of them.

Hermione spoke up, "But Professor, we don't know what was so wrong with it." Harry nodded in agreement.

"The book you were reading was from the restricted zone. The books in there can hold very dangerous magic and even dangerous wizards. Stealing a book from that section is against school rules."

Hermione looked at Harry encouraging him to speak out, which he did, "But Professor, I didn't steal it from the restricted zone, it was in a regular bookcase."

"I don't believe you would lie to me, so I will you let you off that offence," Snape's face seemed to fall, as Dumbledore continued, "but you are also here to discuss what that book was saying."

Harry looked upset at this idea.

"Harry, I believe this happened more than once?" Dumbledore asked. Hermione frowned, confused and stared at Harry. She wasn't going to ask him why he hadn't told her, in front of all these teachers because it was probably personal, but she was surely going to ask him when they got out.

"Yeah," Harry mumbled.

"You should have told me, Harry," Dumbledore advised, "I fear this is another of Voldemort's rise."

Hermione, Professor McGonagall and Harry all gasped.

"I think we could use young Miss. Petersons help." Dumbledore told them.
