Chapter 5
After Professor McGonagall left, the room remains silent. At last Harry asked, 'Professor Dumbledore, what's going on?' Then Professor Dumbledore leant forward, he said it slow and clear, 'Everyone, I don't expect it would happen. But if it is happening already, than I must tell you what is going on.' He stopped and stood up, we walked across the table and faced the three students, he said, 'There is a woman, she wants to see you, especially Harry Potter. She is a Muggle, doesn't know any wanded-magic, but knows magic done by musical instrument. She wants to meet the three of you, so listen to me, you must be careful.'
Then the three students took a deep breath, they did not fear that woman, and they even longed to meet her. However, they did not know who she was.
'Professor, will she harm us?' Hermione asked.
'I'm not sure,' Dumbledore answered her. 'Just be careful always. And now, please the three of you stand up and you must go to meet her now.'
'Will you come with us?' Ron asked worryingly.
'I won't. After all she didn't ask me to go.' Professor Dumbledore answered. But his eyes showed that he was worried, too.
And so Dumbledore leaded them to the room where they were going to meet the mysterious woman.
They went to the corridor, which they had never been to, paintings were hang everywhere, but they did not move. There was a painting drew a little girl, but she did not move a bit at all.
At last, they met Professor McGonagall coming out form a painting, which was the only painting it moves.
'Professor Dumbledore, at last you've arrived.' Professor McGonagall said.
'Yes I have. They must go in alone.'
'I know, professor. Her ladyship is waiting, patiently.'
'That's good.' Dumbledore seemed to be relieved.
'But Professor Dumbledore, there is one thing, her ladyship's sister is here.' Professor McGonagall added.
'Oh!?' Dumbledore had nothing to say, 'I could just wish them good luck.'
Then he said to the moving painting, 'Apple pie.' And a hope appeared behind the painting. 'Go in.' Dumbledore told his students kindly. So the three of them—Harry, Ron and Hermione went into the gloomy room.
