James let out a snort of disgust. "She asked all Slytherins! Of
course they are going to have horrible opinions. They are probably all
going to turn into, what are the called? Death Eaters? How appropriate,"
he snarled.
Lily let out a sigh of exasperation. "Jenkins is horrible. I can't believe she would write that about Dumbledore. He is an excellent wizard, and he is definitely not crazy."
"Well, it doesn't look like Dumbledore is taking it too seriously," Sirius said, mentioning towards Dumbledore.
Dumbledore had the paper open in front of him and his eyes were twinkling in mischief. Professor McGonagall, who was sitting to the left of him, looked mortified. She turned to Dumbledore and he looked at her for a moment, then started bursting out laughing. Professor McGonagall joined in, and soon the entire head table was bursting with laughter, except for Professor Domroy, who had a looked of disgust across his face.
The entire Great Hall fell silent and stared at the head table. "See, I told you he was crazy," Bellatrix Black stated loudly to Severus Snape, but none of the teachers heard her.
Dumbledore stood up. "Good morning students, I know it is not customary for me to make speeches in the morning, but I would like to thank Rudolphus and Bellatrix for the amusing comments. I would also like to tell you to be careful at today's Hogsmeade visit. Don't leave the borders of the town and return to Hogwarts as soon as you are done. Have a good time." Dumbledore sat back down and started conversing with Professor McGonagall, who was wiping tears of laughter away from her eyes with her handkerchief.
"Well if Dumbledore isn't taking it seriously, I don't see why we should," Selina said, standing up.
Remus stood up with her. "I agree. Are you guys ready to go?"
Everyone nodded in agreement, and stood up together. James and Sirius had dark looks on their face.
"I'm practically related to every person who is quoted in that article. I need to kick their asses." Sirius said gruffly.
"You're only related to Bellatrix, Sirius, and it's ok. Dumbledore isn't taking it seriously," Amanda stated.
"Actually, Lucius Malfoy just married my cousin Narcissa, so he's my cousin and Bella and Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer have been discussing marriage, so technically I am."
"Who cares about technicalities? Besides, you aren't anything like them," Selina said reassuringly.
"I guess so," Sirius said with a scowl etched on his handsome face.
The seventh years reached the door and Argus Filch checked them off of his list, peering into their faces intently, trying to make sure no one was leaving who shouldn't be.
They walked across the grounds silently and when they entered the village of Hogsmeade, they all walked to a fountain behind the stores. They all just sat there silently, mulling over their thoughts, when an unwelcome voice entered.
"Would you look at that? A mudblood and some mudblood lovers."
