Note: The first time I uploaded this chapter the paragraphs didn't turn out right, sorry! Chapter 6 - An Odd Sequence of Events

Ron saw Hedwig fly through the air at a higher speed than usual. She quickly dropped off the letter and flew out again, without even waiting for a reply.

"Something's up," he thought.

He opened the letter and read it. "He's going to do it, he's really going to do it. I can't believe it."

Ron flew through his bedroom door and ran downstairs. _______________________________________________________________________

He got off of his broom, dusted himself off and went up to the door. He mustered up all the courage inside him and knocked at the door. _______________________________________________________________________

Hermoine walked into the castle and looked around. She didn't feel like she was in danger, but something that woman said and her tone bothered her. "Nothing with truly good and pure intentions or someone that doesn't care what others think, will ever wind up here." That's not true, she told herself. I have good and pure intentions. I know I do. Yes, you do, a voice in her head screamed, but you care what others think. At least Harry. You do. You know you do.

"NO!" she screamed. Softly with a haunting echo, resounding throughout the halls of the castle she put her hand over her mouth. Now where's Merlin? Where would I be if I were Merlin? A thought came to her. She swiftly headed toward the dungeon stairs. _______________________________________________________________________

To his luck, the door was answered quite promptly. "Um, hello?" the man asked. "Yes, hello. I am here to speak to Hermoine. I'm a friend from school. I'm Harry. Can I speak to her for a moment?" He smiled and motioned for him to come in. "Welcome. I'm Mr. Granger and this is my wife. Have a seat please. Hermoine! Hermoine! Harry, your friend from school is here." No response came. "Let me go up and get her," said Mrs. Granger. Yes, she said to herself. I was right. The database would be in the dungeons. And they were certainly not any monsters, cobwebs, or dust, much unlike the Hogwarts Dungeons. She walked up to a door labelled 'Records', and opened the door. She walked inside and saw something that looked like an obstacle course. Wrong room, she thought. She went back to the door to exit room. But the door was gone and in place of the door was a little plaque that read; "You may not leave the same way you entered. Until you are true with yourself, you can't be true with others. When you are true, you shall find the door. Remember, when one door closes another door opens. But that doesn't mean you won't regret the choice. You'll need to be able to deal with the consequences of your choices. When you are able to, you shall know how to leave this room." It's a riddle she thought. Now I just have to figure out the answer... *End of Chapter* Author's Note: I'm still looking for someone to bounce ideas off of. Please e-mail me! itzme_sarahb@yahoo.com . Thanks.
