Surprise, Surprise

"Professor McGonagall, Professor McGonagall is the teacher that Voldemort is using." Hermione said obviously shaken.
"What!" Harry and Ron screamed in unison. Hermione was still panting heavily.
"Let her rest first, Ron." Harry said. Hermione slumped on the couch nearby. After some time, Hermione spoke, "Ok, let's start from the beginning. Harry, you heard Voldemort say to Wormtail that he was using a professor in Hogwarts, right?"
"Right." Harry replied.
"So that day when Professor McGonagall took over the History of Magic class, I stayed behind because I saw her drop a piece of paper." Hermione said while fishing a piece of paper out of her pocket. It was rather tattered and looked liked it had been scrunched up. Harry and Ron both stared at the paper.
"Oops, I think I might have accidently squashed it." Hermione said embarrassedly.
"Never mind,"said Ron. "What does it say?" Hermione opened the paper and showed it to them. The paper read :
Meet me at the Dark Forest at 10 p.m.
Make sure no one's on your tail.
"Wow, now that's some note. How did you get it without McGonagall realising it. Didn't she come back for it?" Ron asked.
"I don't think so, I purposly stepped on the piece of paper while pretending to discuss something with her. I was sure that she left before I picked the paper up." Hermione answered.
"Why did you even pick it up?" Harry asked.
"I dunno. Perharps I was just too inquisitive then." Hermione said. Her eyes then began to droop.
"I think we better get some rest." Harry said noticing that Hermione was about to doze off.
"Fine. Goodnight.We'll talk about the rest later." Hermione agreed as Harry and Ron went to their rooms. The next day , Harry and Ron gasped upon seeing Hermione.
"What happened to you?"
"Nothing", Hermione replied. "I just didn't sleep last night."
"She makes it sound like it's no big deal." Ron whispered to Harry indignantly.
Harry ignored the fact that Ron was whispering to him and asked Hermione " What were you thinking about?"
"You know.... Although we know who the teacher they are using is Professor McGonagall but we still do not know the 'feeble powers' girl." Hermione replied worriedly. "She might do harm to us."
"You are right. Did you see her face when you went to the Dark Forest ?" Ron asked.
"No I only saw her back and Professor McGonagall's face."
"Well....can you emphasize on the structure of her back?" Ron said obviously pleased with the sentence he made up.
"It was dark, Ron. How do you expect me to scruntinize her back. Anyway I was too shock and only thought of telling you guys about it." Hermione said huffily.
"So looks like the cool Hermione Granger has her moments of fear." Ron said in a mocking tone.
"I tell you, Ronald Weasley. If you were there you would be the first to run and scream."
Harry stifled a laugh and said " Come on guys, we better get going before the breakfast is gone."
None of the two moved. Well then, Harry thought, we'll just have to use the traditional way.
"Last one to the Great Hall is a ummmm...Boggart?"
To Harry's surprise, both of them started running.
"You'll never beat me, Granger." Ron shouted over his ear.
"Oh yeah? Try me." Hermione yelled back.
Harry, not wanting to be last chased them and said "Watch out! Here I come."
Suddenly, and with a loud 'Thump', Ron fell to the floor outside the Dormitory.
"Haha! Look who gets the last laugh." Hermione teased.
"Not really, Hermione, there's a nicely-wrapped Cauldron Cake on the floor. And now, it's mine!" Ron replied.
"It doesn't belong to you." Harry said quickly. "Leave it where it was." But his advice fell on deaf ears as Ron started peeling the wrapper off the Cake.
Just then, somebody ran towards Ron and snatched the cake out off his hands.
"You can't eat it, it's mine!"
Who is that mysterious person? What's with the Cauldron Cake? Answers in the next chapter. By the way pls R&R. Thanx.
