"All students to the Great Hall. All students to the Great Hall now. Teachers please go to the staff common room."

There was a big flurry of movement.

"Wait," Harry thought. "Isn't McGonagall usually the one who gives these sort of announcements?" Harry went along with the crowd to the Great Hall- but now with more suspicion.

When he got there, he found Ron and Hermione. Ron seemed a bit preoccupied. Harry explained his suspicions.

"Yeah, that was what I was thinking too," Herm replied.

"what do you think happened?" Harry asked.

"Dunno."

"OMIGOSH!! I JUST FIGURED IT OUT GUYS!! DOESN'T MCGONAGALL USUALLY ANNOUNCE THESE SORTA THINGS? YOU GUYS?" Ron seemed ecstatic at his discovery.

Harry and Herm stared at him, not saying anything for a while.

"Now that we're all on the same level," Herm said, still staring at Ron, then turning to Harry, "What do you think happened?"

At that precise moment, (actually 2 ½ seconds later) Dumbledore burst into the room. His face was terribly serious.

"Students. I have some dreadful news. Gryffindors, I think you would be very shocked."

Harry could feel what was coming.

"Professor McGonagall is dead."

You could feel everybody freeze. There was not any sound for quite a while. It was finally Dumbledore who broke the silence. "Tomorrow we will have a funeral. I ask all Gryffindors students to attend, and also the prefects and Head Boy and Girl. Please be on the grounds near the lake by 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The other students are to stay in their dormitories. That is all. You are all dismissed."

Everybody walked silently out of the hall and back to their dormitories. All except Harry, Herm and Ron. They walked up to Dumbledore's office. Harry gave the gargoyle the password, and they went up the staircase. When they got there, they were not alone.

Snape was there.

"Has he come to confess?" Harry thought wildly.

Soon Dumbledore came out of his office. He was his unexpected visitors, and started at the odd mix.

"I am presuming.you are not all together?" Dumbledore asked.

Harry, Herm, and Ron looked at Snape. Snape looked at the trio. The four of them shook their heads violently.

"Then..Potter, Granger and Weasley? You three come in first, professor? I'll get back to you."

The three of them went into Dumbledore's office.

"Professor.we would like to know."

"Yes?"

"We would like to know..how..how."

"How.Professor McGonagall.died?"

"Uh..yeah." Harry thought Dumbledore finishing the sentence would make him feel better. It didn't.

"It was the Avada Kedavra curse." Dumbledore's face remained emotionless.

Harry and Herm gasped. A few moments later, Ron followed suit. "The Avada Kedavra curse!! Guys!! That's illegal!! This is like, totally terrible!!"

Dumbledore, Harry and Herm decided to ignore him.

"OK thank you professor."

Meanwhile Snape heard everything from outside the office. He froze.
Suddenly in one moment all his thoughts became fact.
As Harry, Herm and Ron went out, he gave them a quick neutral look and went in.
Ooooooooohh!! Why has Snape come to see Dumbledore? Puh-leeeeaaasssse review coz yeah..i need constructive critism has someone calls it...yeah so hit that button and let yo fingers do the rest!!! :P
