2. WILLY
Professor Dumbledore rapped his spoon against the glass a bit too
hard. It shattered. He stared down at it,forlorn. But everyone in
the hall had gone quiet by then. Beside him,Minerva's mouth
twitched.
If she laughs,I'll turn her into a frog,he thought.
She contained herself quite well,though.
He stood up.
"As you all know," he said. "Care Of Magical Creatures has been
cancelled until Hagrid comes back from our exchange program-"
"We were going to study duppies," Harry said.
"What's a duppy?" Ron asked,his mouth full of chicken.
"Shh," Hermione whispered.
"-and I would just like to ask all of you...is anyone aware as to
the whereabouts of Willy?"
No one said a word.
Just then,Professor Flitwick ran into the Great Hall. Watching
Flitwick run was rather surreal. "There's a deranged man outside
and he's assaulting the Whomping Willow."
At the left end of the table,Professor Sprout gasped.
"Prefects,take the students back to their rooms,please..."
