When the seventh year Gryffindor students were walking back up to the
castle, Professor McGonagall ran up to Lily and James.
"Potter, Evans. Professor Dumbledore wants to speak to you in his office now."
Lily and James exchanged a bewildered glance and hurried after Professor McGonagall. Professor McGonagall didn't slow down until she reached the Head Master's office. "Sherbert Lemon!" The gargoyle sprang to life and stepped aside, revealing an ascending staircase. "Professor Dumbledore will be waiting for you." Without another word, she swept away sniffling.
Lily and James stepped onto the staircase with skeptical looks on their face. "What could possibly be wrong? Did we do something wrong? We weren't even here for almost two weeks," Lily was whispering hurriedly.
"Lily, no offense, but shut up please. You're making me nervous." James whispered in a tense voice.
When they entered Dumbledore's office, he hadn't arrived yet. Lily walked over to the phoenix named Fawkes and started petting him. She was nervous and couldn't sit still. James had walked over to one of the seats in front of Dumbledores desk and collapsed with his head in his hands. Lily kept pacing, a nervous habit of hers.
The door to the office slid open. Professor Dumbledore stood in the doorway, his normally twinkling blue eyes were cast over and he looked older than James had ever seen him.
"Miss Evans, please sit." Dumbledore said in a strained voice and pointed at the chair next to James. Lily sat, but couldn't stop moving. Her feet were wiggling and she kept fidgeting.
"I'm sure you are both wondering why I have called you hear. Well, you must know that you are not in trouble, but this does concern you."
Lily and James shot each other a look of nervousness.
"It is my painful duty to inform the Head Boy and Girl that a student has been captured by Lord Voldemort and his supporters." Professor Dumbledore continued. Lily drew a sharp intake of breath. "That student is Cedric Diggory."
Authors Note: Really short, but I wanted to get to the point. Read and review. Happy New Year!
