"What was that?" Carol asked hysterically.
"I don't know" Harry said as he stared at the floor, stunned.
"What do you mean? You disappeared when I entered, and you reappeared just now, where did you go? What did you do? What's happening?!" Carols shouted.
"I… I… Why are you here?" Harry snatched quickly while trying to think of something to say.
"I saw you run out of the great hall, so I thought I'd follow you"
"Well… You shouldn't have!" He snatched. "and… and… I'm sorry to have to do this but… Five points from Slytherin."
"What?" She screamed
"You are out of bounds, now I suggest you return to your dormitory at once!" Carol looked at him shocked, and then after a few moments ran away crying. Harry just sat there rolling the glass marble between his fingers and thinking about what just happened.
The alarm clock shouted at Harry in annoyance for he wasn't getting up. Harry mumbled swears under his breath, pulled out his wand, pointed it at the alarm clock, mumbled something, and the alarm clock blew up into dust. Harry slowly pulled himself out of bed, was already dressed, so he just left the teacher's dorms and headed down the hallway just like before. He walked in a straight line letting people who didn't bother to move be shoved rudely out of the way. He took a sharp left, capes clinging with static to his legs, and entered his classroom. Nobody was there yet, so he just sat down and stared at the back wall. As the bell rang he noticed nobody was in his classroom. Suddenly Professor Malfoy and his students came bursting through the door.
"Sorry Professor," Malfoy started, "I was tutoring them in defense against the dark arts this morning to advance them a bit, I was running a bit late, so I hope you don't mind."
"Don't mind, Malfoy? Don't mind? You have just cut into 2 minutes and 4 seconds of my class time and what you do in the morning is your own business but when you cut into MY schedule I DO mind, there's another 20 points from Gryffindor, I hope I never have to see crap like this again. And Malfoy, I think you have a class to teach that you're late for. Another 20 points from Gryffindor for YOU being late. Good day!" Malfoy shot out of the room in frustration, and the students immediately sat down. Malfoy put his palms on his desk and looked down at it thinking what cruel things to say to make their lives miserable. Suddenly he saw a slip of paper underneath the bag of pig nails. He pulled it out and read it
Dear Harry,
I do hope you got a hold of that package last night, and do get a hold of this letter. Meet me just outside the forbidden forest tonight so we can discuss what you saw.
Sincerely,
