Chapter Seven
Professor McGonagall was showing us how to transfigure a desk into a dog when a first year came timidly in. She walked up to Professor McGonagall and told her something that made her pale slightly.
"Class, all Defense Against the Dark Arts classes are closed until further notice. My classes too are closed today and will resume tomorrow. Dismissed."
I glance at Hermione and she seemed as confused as I was. No one had ever canceled classes, unless you counted our second year. Silently we gathered our things and went to the Gryffindor Tower.
"So, Hermione what do think happened to make McGonagall to lose color like that?"
She glanced at me and shrugged, "I have absolutely no ideal. I suppose if we're supposed to know we'll be told."
"I guess, but it is interesting to know something can make McGonagall as pale as a ghost."
"Ron!"
***************
I woke up to two faces peering intently at me. My cousin was staring at me from behind his moon spectacles and Minerva was staring at me with intense relief on her weary face.
As I sat up I tried to shake away the bone feeling weariness that still resided in my bones.
"What happened?" asked my cousin's smooth voice.
I sighed as I tried to explain, "I was sitting at my desk when it happened."
"What happened," my cousin asked.
"I'm not exactly sure. One minute I was just setting their thinking about nothing at all when my office was no longer my office. It had ugly lacy tablecloths and grotesque dancing cat plates. There was a woman that looked like a toad and there was a boy with messy black hair and emerald green eyes."
I paused for a minute and looked at them. McGonagall looked pale and Dumbledore looked thoughtful, "He looked like he was writing lines but when he wrote with the quill it cut his hand. Then the office changed again and this time it was had strange looking objects. The boy seemed tired and looked bloody, then it changed again and interesting looking creatures in it. There was a man that looked young but old the same time. His robes were patchy and worn and his hair graying.
"This time though the boy was younger looking and he looked like he was fighting something," I paused and closed my eyes as I tried to explain. "The room was filled with a cold that went bone deep. I don't understand it though because before hand I was just an observer. Now though I could feel it and it felt as if I'd never be happy again. I was hearing some things in my head. At first it was things from my past but right before the room changed I heard something else."
I shivered as I remembered the cold laughter that had not been Naraku's before the room changed again. It was more malicious and dangerous. My cousin put something in my hand and I realized it was chocolate. Looking up questionably at him he said, "Eat it. It'll make you fell better."
I nodded and took a bite and immediately warmth filled my body to replace the weariness that it had previously held. Sighing blissfully I closed my eyes as my cousin asked, "Was there anything else?"
I don't know why I didn't tell him what else had happened but I had a feeling that I wasn't suppose to yet. I shook my head and hopped he couldn't tell I wasn't telling the whole truth.
He sighed and said, "Very well. If you feel okay by dinner time come down to the Great Hall and afterwards I'll teach you some more."
I nodded my head as he and Minerva left. Closing my eyes I fell back into a troubled sleep.
***********************
"She's not telling us everything," Minerva said to me.
I sighed, "I know. She will tell us when the time comes but not before that. I trust my cousin and I know she'll do the right thing."
"Do you think she knows that she was seeing Harry?"
"I have a feeling she knows more than she lets on but I'm not going to push," sighing I looked at one of my oldest friends. "Trust her. She's more powerful than most and I think she knows what she's doing even though she may not realize it yet."
"Than why wasn't she a student here?"
"Her father didn't want her to come here. If she had she would have graduated the year we last saw her."
"Almost four years ago."
I nodded, "Yes she is a twenty-one year old woman."
*************
Dinner once again was a quiet affair. People at our table still didn't like to talk about things. The first years were talking to each other even though there was only three this year. Some of the second years were talking too, but mostly everyone was quite.
Ron and I had decided that we would have our first DA meeting tomorrow night. Everyone had a free night. We were only going to have a few new members. Almost everyone in Gryffindor had decided to join and there were still a few kids in Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff that were in it.
It was close to the end of dinnertime when the new DADA professor came in. She looked pale and thoughtful but she smiled when she saw Dumbledore. He smiled back and greeted her as she sat down.
Turning back to Ron I saw a rare thoughtful expression on his face. He was staring at Kagome. Looking back up I saw that she still had the package she carried around. Again I wondered what it was but just shrugged it off.
Kagome stared at us for a moment and then smiled and tipped her glass at us ever so slightly. We hesitantly did the same.
Turning to Ron I asked, "What do think she's playing at?"
He shrugged as we got up from the table with some of the other students. "I have no ideal. But I do know that I have a lot of homework even without transfiguration."
"Me too," I said as I started to follow him up to the Gryffindor tower room.
