"What in the world?" McGonagall screamed as she entered the doorway
to her classroom. "How could this have happened? I must tell Dumbledore
at once!"
She ran through the hallways, into Ron, Harry, and Hermoine who were just walking to their first class, which happened to be McGonagall's. She didn't stop to talk, but the point came across: Something had scared her so much that she was actually running through the hallways; a rare sight indeed.
"Wonder what got into her," Harry pondered out loud, as they continued walking towards the classroom.
"Beats me," added Hermoine. "I wonder if it had anything to do with today's lesson. If it did..." It was then they came upon Malfoy's limp body. "OH no! Draco Malfoy is dead in Hogwarts! Even though I never liked him, I do feel bad for him." She glanced quickly at Harry.
"I didn't do it!" Harry responded quickly. "I scuffled with him last night, but that doesn't have to do...."
Snape had just arrived and happened to collect Harry's last statements. "So I see," Snape sneered. "I believe we have just witnessed the crime, the criminal, and the guilty verdict."
Dumbledore also arrived, and scolded Snape for such an assumption. "I would have thought better of you, Snape. Harry said he didn't do it, and you would rather jump to such a large conclusion over such a tiny fact." He now asked Harry to come with him into his office to see if they could sort things out. He also had brought to his office all the people that had a reson to act on Draco, which amounted to not a lot of people.
"I don't know why I'm being brought here," exclaimed George Weasly as he entered Dumbledore's office, along side with Harry, Hermoine, Ron, Fred, Crabbe, and Goyle. "I had nothing to do with it!"
"Pipe down, Mr. Weasly," Dumbledore replied. "Now I have brought the seven of you on the account of Draco Malfoy's murder. There is not enough evidence to track down any of you, but all of you are very big suspects. I'll list your accounts of why you are here."
"Mr Harry Potter. You are here because you and Draco had a very bad relationship. I believe you have gotten mad at him more then once, one time even agreed to duel him! You are the biggest suspect, because you have said that you scuffled with Draco in his last hour in McGonagall's room."
"Mr Ronald Weasly. Like Mr Potter, you also had a bad relationship with Mr Malfoy. Draco believes that you, Harry, and Hermoine snapped his broomstick, so he decided to pester you for the best of a month. You also hexed him multiple times."
"Ms Hermoine Granger. You are held to the same accounts as Mr Ronald Weasly."
"Mr Crabbe and Mr Goyle. You two could have seeked revenge because Draco dropped you two as friends. He also pestered you for the best of this month."
"Finally, Mr. George Weasly and Mr. Fred Weasly. You two are not big suspects, but, Draco has made fun of the Weasly line for ages and you are3 also to have hexed him once."
"It was fun," mumbled Fred.
"Be quiet!" screamed Snape. "Do you not know that you are going to be on trial for the biggest crime in Hogwarts history! You all will be skipping classes until this whole matter is resolved!"
"Fine with me," whispered George. Meanwhile, Hermoine was looking horrified at the fact at they might be held back just because someone had decided to kill Draco Malfoy. She sure hoped the case wiould be resolved quickly.
"Who knows what's going to happen next in this twisted case?" pondered Harry as they were dismissed into private quarters, where they would spend their nights before the case. "It's sure going to be hard catching a killer with no evidence."
