Chapter 10 "To be a Hero"


You take a look around. The walls are a dark gray. They make you think of prison, or death. Once you notice how entrapped you are by this circular room, you start to get nervous. Rooms like this have a way of getting to people. You look up at the never ending ceiling and run a hand through your hair. With a hand on your hip and the other supporting the back of your neck, you turn in a full circle and take in the sight of this circular mental case. There is nothing but a shelf full of books on the dark arts and a beat up door. You think about how odd and suspecting this all must seem. Then you begin to wonder why Ginny would think that you would want to see a place like this. Does she think that you are dark and mucky yourself? That would have to change once you get back up to the great hall.

But as for now, you wonder what is behind that door with the scratches. It's hinges are jagged and a pointed cone sits at its base as a door knob. There are scratches all over the frame as if something or someone had tried to stay out, or in for that matter. You walk towards the door.

To go through the door, go to chapter 13.
