"Professor! Professor!" A student screamed, running to the staff room door,
pounding on it.
"What is it child?" Professor McGonagall asked, throwing the door open.
The student gulped. "A man. At the gates, appeared from no where. All mangled. In pain. Torn robes. Wants to talk to Professor Dumbledore. Right away."
McGonagall stared at the winded student in front of her and nodded. "Very well, ten points to Hufflepuff." She rushed off to the entrance to Professor Dumbledore's office. She didn't truly understand her reason for urgency, but it was better to hurry.
"Lest we forget." She hissed the password to the stone gargoyle and climbed the stairs it slide back to reveal. When she reached the top, she raised one hand and rapped sharply on the door.
"Yes Minerva?" Came the quiet reply as she stepped into the room. She frowned, trying to remember the student's words.
"There is a man at the gates who wishes to speak to you. A student found me, he is in battered robes and pain. She recalled all the students words, except three.
Dumbledore nodded and sighed. "Alright. You remain here, I may require assistance, Fawkes will let you know." The pheonix gave a soft cooing noise.
"Wait! There was one more thing. He appeared from no where!"
He nodded again and stepped from his office, wand in hand.
