The Secret Door

The next morning, Harry and Ron were shaken awake by someone.

"5 more minutes mum!" mumbled Ron as he flipped over onto his stomach.

"Ron! RON! Get up! RON! Get UP!" said Hermione pushing him off the bed.

"OW!" yelped Ron as he hit the ground.

"Harry! Harry! HARRY! GET UP HARRY!" she yelled.

"Eh, what do you want?" grumbled Harry.

"Both of you get up right NOW!" They slowly got to their feet.

"What is it?" asked Ron.

"Come on, into the common room!" She grabbed their hands and practically dragged them onto the red couches.

"Ok, yesterday when I went into the library I got out Hogwarts, a History."

"I told you!" said Harry. Hermione glared at him.

"Anyways, last night I read what I was looking for in bed, and I think I know why are teachers are missing and where they are."

"Go on." said Ron, half asleep.

"Remember in the carriage I asked you about that part of Hogwarts? The one that I don't remember ever being in?"

"Yeah, so what?" said Harry.

"Well, that's where the teachers are!" said Hermione. "Hold on." She ran into the girls' dormitory and came back out with Hogwarts, a History.

"Look right here, read this—"

It said: 'While building Hogwarts, Helga Hufflepuff discovered a field of ferocious Erumpent's. They tried to move these beasts but they did not succeed. Instead, Rowena Ravenclaw had the idea to build around them, and they would eventually die off. But she was wrong. These Erumpents stayed in that part of Hogwarts, and the only way to get there is through the Secret Door. Many people have died trying to get rid of these Erumpents, so the Secret Door was locked for many, many years. Then it was found and opened again by a 16 year old girl, who also died. Now, every 6 years, the teachers at Hogwarts go through the Secret Door and they try to kill these Erumpents but none have succeeded to kill more than one.'

"You see?" said Hermione closing the book. "That's where all the teachers are."

"Wait, what if they—you know—die as well?" said Ron.

"I don't know. But no one who has gone through the Secret Door has made it out alive. Something tells me that our teachers aren't going to make it either."
