Chapter eight ~ Murder at Azkaban.

"You're having visions again? that's really bad.that's what."

"Yeah Hermione that's what got Sirius killed, you don't have to spell it out!" Harry said, angrily.

"Harry I didn't mean it like that."

"I think you're missing the point Hermione.mass murder at Azkaban." Ron said, waving the paper in front of her.

"Yes, Ron I can read."

Harry looked over to the teachers' table, Dumblodore, McGonagall, Snape, Delvarney and few others were missing. In fact there were only three teachers at the table, and all looked nervous.

"There was an attack on Azkaban late last night, the one hundred and seventeen auror guards were slaughtered. this is the sign of deep dark magic, it takes a powerful wizard to defeat an auror. all the prisoners were killed, apart from those associated with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. The Death Eaters who were due for trial, and those convicted of supporting Him after his down fall are among those who are missing." Hermione read, she put the paper down in disgust. "Why didn't we see this coming?"

"What I don't understand is that Snape and Delvarney knew about it, why didn't they warn someone!" Harry said.

"Oh Harry we don't know that. I mean what would be the point of putting extra guards out if they're going to get killed as well."

"Harry where you going?" said Ron, as Harry got up from the table.

Hermione and Ron jumped up to follow him.

"I have a right to know what is going on, after all it is me who has to kill Voldemort for you." he was speaking loudly and some people in the hall turned to watch. They had all heard about the break out by now and were deeply shocked.

"Harry!" Hermione shouted as she and Ron followed him out of the hall.

Draco Malfoy was reading the paper with glee. Lucius had been one of the Death Eaters involved in the raid.

Ginny, Luna and Neville were whispering quietly together when they saw Harry get up. Luna got up to follow, but Ginny pulled her back down.

"Leave him to Hermione, she'll calm him down."

Harry was heading to Dumbledore's office. he needed to know what was going on. He almost ran down the corridor and collided with Professor Delvarney almost knocking her over.

"Potter, where are you off to in such a hurry?"

"To find out what happened last night."

She pushed open the nearest door, it led into an empty classroom.

"Come inside, we can talk. There would be no point you going and bothering Dumbledore he is a very busy man."

Harry walked slowly into the classroom, Ron and Hermione followed, shutting the door behind them.

"So what is it you're not sure of? I take it you have read the paper."

"But Harry saw it." Hermione began, but Harry kicked her under the table. she stopped herself crying out.

"Saw it?"

"Saw it in the paper, before they did." Harry said quickly, he didn't want the teachers to know that he was having visions again.

Delvarney's eyes narrowed, as though she suspected Harry was lying. "Well, if you have read the paper then there is nothing more I can tell you." she got up and headed towards the door.

"You knew it was going to happen."

She turned back. "I beg your pardon?"

"I over heard you and Snape talking, you both knew. Why didn't you warn them?"

"But we did warn them. Weeks in advance. All the aurors who died, did so willingly, fighting for what they believed in. the dead prisoners well there was nothing we could do about that, but they were all given a wand, as the attack started, to defend themselves with. I believe some of the prisoners killed the aurors."

"So the aurors had a choice?" Harry asked.

Delvarney nodded. "Of course they did."

"Did you kill any aurors?"

"I beg your pardon?"

"Did you kill any aurors? I mean that is where you were last night, isn't it?"

"I can honestly say Potter that I was not with the Death Eaters last night." She smiled.

Harry nodded, even though he wasn't sure if he believed her or not.

They left the classroom in silence.

"What's next?" Ron asked, as they reached the end of the corridor.

"Potions." Hermione replied, automatically.

Ron groaned but didn't say anything. They rushed up to the tower and down then to the dungeons.

Draco greeted them with a smirk.

"See the paper this morning, Potter?" he demanded.

"Oh I suppose you're talking about the raid on Azkaban? The one your father was involved in?"

"Where's your proof Potter?"

at that moment Snape arrived. he was in a very good mood, for Snape. And didn't take a single point from the Gryfindors all lesson, but this triumphant was short lived when the Slytherins were awarded over fifty.

"Wonder what's happened to put Snape in such a good mood!" Hermione said as they left the classroom.

"I dunno, but I'd like to find out." Harry replied.

Ron shrugged. "Who really cares as long as he doesn't take points from us!"

Hermione rolled her eyes. "Go back to sleep, Ron."

It was lunchtime and Hermione was still reading the paper.

"You can read it over and over again Hermione, it ain't gonna change." Ron told her.

"I'm not reading that, listen to this. As the Minister for magic is still missing, the ministry needs someone to take charge. There will be an election held tomorrow, for a temporary minister until Mr Fudge returns."

"They still think he's gonna return?"

"Well, they can't say in the paper that he isn't until they're sure. In the meantime I wonder who the temporary Minister will be."

"It would be good if Dumbledore got the job." Ron said.

Harry shook his head. "Nah, he won't leave Hogwarts."

At that moment Luna and Ginny came running up to the trio.

"We just heard Malfoy talking to Crabbe and Goyle, his father is running for Minister."
