When Dumbledore and Harry were both inside Dumbledore said, "Now Harry, don't go onto the grounds unless you are with a professor. I have work to do now so please excuse me." Dumbledore walked off toward the staircase leading to his office, but instead of going up them he turned around and said, "Oh yes, and Harry you may do magic while you are in the castle." He walked up the stairs and dissapeared.

This was news to Harry, he pulled out his wand and said, "Wingardium Leviosa!" and his trunk rose in the air. Harry guided his trunk all the way up to the Gryffindor dormitory. He put it trunk down by the portrait of the fat lady and remembered that he didn't know the password. He turned around to go find Dumbledore and there stood Professor McGonnagal.

"Hello Mr. Potter," she said.

"Hello professor," Harry replyed.

"The password is Buckbeak, in case you wanted to know," Professor McGonnagal said as though reading Harry's mind.

"Thank you."

"Why not come to my office for a cup of tea?"

"Ok."

Harry followed Professor McGonnagal to the second floor where her office was. She opened the door and went inside, Harry followed her.

"Proffesor?" Harry said. "Could you tell me what has been happening, and why the wizarding world is 'on pause'?"
