Chapter 8: Halloween
The weeks flew by, Thomas closed himself away from the others more and more each day dreading November 2nd when he would have to go back to watch his dad get married to some lady he didnt even know and probably wouldnt like.
Thomas walked down at dinner time on Halloween night and sat down at the Gryffindor table for the huge Candy Feast. "Students I have an announcement to make.. for anyone who wants to sign up for the Christmas Play.. forms are available in the music classroom.. or you can talk to Amanda Dumbledore about it" Dumbledore said nodding to his granddaughter then went back to eating. Thomas sighed, grabbing another piece of candy corn. Just then owls flew in, and one landed to Mandy, Thomas was suspicious she never got mail. It landed down and she picked it up, reading it then she dropped it running from the hall. Thomas picked it up depending she was only two seats away..
To whom it may concern:
We regret to inform you Mr. Mark Micheal Dumbledore was killed last night in a Death Eater raid of 12 Grosswell Drive..
and that was all he read before he ran out the door following Mandy, and he guessed she'd be in the music classroom. He pushed open the door, and sure enough there she was sitting on the stage tears streaming down her cheeks as she rocked back and forth. "What are you doing here?!" she asked. He sat down beside her and handed her the letter, she took it stuffing it in her pocket, he turned to her. "I know how you feel.." he whispered, "How So?!" she asked, "My father's getting re-married..thats why he's been away for a few months" Thomas said, "When?" Mandy asked, "In four days" Thomas said, Mandy hugged him, which surprised Thomas. "By the way whats this about a christmas play?" he asked, she smiled and began to explain it. Thomas listened in as they both forgot their problems.. and from that day on they were friends.
