Albus Dumbledore walked into his office followed by Sirius Black. Shadows
followed them and danced along the walls and floor as the fire from the
fireplace and the vibrance from Dumbledore's grand Phoenix, Fawkes,
illuminated the room.
"Sirius Black, curious to hear from you again so soon. And here's the question that lingers on my mind.." Albus began but Sirius' hand went up.
"Albus, I'm here strickly on business so don't worry about any pranks or pulls." Sirius laughed. "But I am here on business as I have said, unthankfully, unpleasant business." Sirius nodded and smiled as Albus offered him the seat across from his desk. Sirius sat down and rubbed his brow with a heavy hand.
"Sirius, I sense that you have something that needs to be said."
"Albus, you have a knack of stating the obivous." Sirius said thrusting his hands to the arms of the chair and breathing deeply, in and out.
"Sirius, things are lighter once they are off the chest." Albus coarsed as Sirius nodded.
"Albus, I have a friend, in the Ministry and word has been tossed around that Lucius Malfoy may have a hand in recent.. Developments." Sirius paused and Albus nodded solemnly. "Many of the people there are worried and.." There was a knock at the door and Professor McGonagall walked in with a gloomy look on her face.
"Albus, we have an issue to deal with at the moment, I'm afraid this conference will have to be detained momentarily." She said shakily in her cracked voice.
"Very well, Sirius you will find accomidations in the northern tower, Professor," He added turning to McGonagall. "Please show him the way and then join me."
"I will." Professor McGonagall nodded and turned to Sirius. Walking up the last stairs tothe room in the northern tower, McGonagall turned to Sirius and smiled at him. "Back again to Hogwarts are you?" She asked.
"Yes, but it seems I came at a rather unfortunate time." Sirius nodded and smiled back.
"Unfortunate news seems to be all over the place at the moment, I'm sorry I could not stay and talk longer, but I must join Albus." McGonagall nodded sloemnly as a goodnight to Sirius and walked down the stairs, disappearing beyond the curves.
"Yes, well, I have to be returning soon." Sirius muttered to himself and then walked through the door to the room and closed it tightly behind him and locked it. The sound echoed through the halls around him.
Albus Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall sat in dismay as Arthur Weasley broke the news to them. "I'm so sorry I would have to do this to them, but with the rumors and words floating around seeming to become to life, I'm afraid I will not risk that danger for them, they are too important to me."
"I understand, and the reason for this action saddens me so. I'm unhappy to see them leave and I hope once the threat is gone, I can see them back in school once more."
"I too." Arthur nodded and shook hands with Dumbledore and McGonagall and bowed his head. "I shall get them, I will let them say their goodbyes but I would like them as far away from any of Lucius' heirs or kin as soon as possible. The risk is too great."
"I understand completely." Dumbledore nodded.
Ron Weasley stood outside in the sunshine as the feast so many students had filled up on ended and he was accompanied by Harry, Alexis, Valerie, Seamus, Astella, and Ginny and Draco. The wind blew back the girls's hair and the boys's jackets.
"So what are you wearing for the dance?" Ginny asked turning to Alexis.
"Ginny dear, you will see, we have to go and get it mended together remember? The one I bought was too long." Alexis said simply as she wrapped her arms around Harry's neck.
"So now you have to go back and pay for another one?" Harry asked a little worried.
"No silly, I gave it back and got another one. And that one needs mending, not enough pizazz." Alexis smiled as Harry rolled his eyes.
"So what do we do now?" Valerie asked as she comfortably sat on the lap of Seamus.
"Well, my dear," Seamus began tickling Valerie playfully as she giggled. "You and I could find somewhere to go.." Seamus added lowering his tone as he got a mischevious grin on hs face.
"Me and Seamus are going to go do some laundry." Valerie said and smiled as she led Seamus away. Seamus, waving bye to his friends with a happy look on his face.
As they walked into Hogwarts, Arthur Weasley walked out. Ginny's and ron's faces became alarmed.
"Dad?" Ginny asked as she sprinted over to him followed closely by Ron. "Dad what is it? Is Mum alright?"
"Ron, Ginny, it's time, time, time.." Mr. Weasley stuttered to get the words out. "Time for you two to come home now." Arthur Weasley bowed his head...
Albus Dumbledore stood up at the next meal and announced to the school the news. "Because of recent developments, Ginny and Ron Weasley went away for the time being. I'm afraid that also do to the incidents that have raised havoc in the news, Hogwarts may close. I suggest you owl your parents, and tell them, you are going home."
"Sirius Black, curious to hear from you again so soon. And here's the question that lingers on my mind.." Albus began but Sirius' hand went up.
