I have decided to stop submitting the chapters, thanks to FabianPheonix's stupid reviews. Unless some of you really want to read the rest of the chapters, unlike some people who hates Harry Potter! Sorry for the rant. Now, here's Chapter 6.
Chapter 6-O.W.L. Results
The next few days, Mrs. Weasley wasn't the same. She would go to where Percy's casket was, and not come out until after the adults had gone to bed. Mr. Weasley tried to help Mrs. Weasley as much as he could, but Mrs. Weasley still was not back to her normal self. One day, when Professor McGonagall was visiting the Weasleys to make sure they were okay, she summoned Harry, Hermione, and Ron to the living room.
Professor McGonagall took out three parchments from a pocket in her robe and said, "I know I told you that these would come at the end of July, but with the war going on, Professor Dumbledore felt that it would have to wait until school starts. Professor Dumbledore decided to let me give these to you early. The other Hogwarts students won't get theirs until they get to school."
Professor McGonagall watched as the trio ripped open their parchments, and Harry read his:
Defense Against the Dark Arts-O
Transfiguration-E
Potions-D
Charms-O
Divination-T
Herbology-D
Harry looked at the parchment and realized the points were not what he needed to become an Auror. He looked at Professor McGonagall, and he wondered if she would keep her promise. Professor McGonagall seemed to read Harry's mind, because just then she said, "Potter, I already took care of Potions for you. I had a little chat with Professor Snape, and he agreed to let you in, but if you mess up this year, you can't take Potions next year."
Harry nodded and was about to hug Professor McGonagall when he embarrassedly muttered, "Sorry, Professor, I forgot what I was doing."
Professor McGonagall said, "It's okay, Potter, and yes, you can hug me this time, but don't do that at Hogwarts!"
Harry hugged her, and said, "Oh, thank you, Professor! I don't know what I would do without you!"
Professor McGonagall said, "Ok, that's enough! Now, off with the three you go."
McClaggan had spent most of his time, following Dumbledore around, and attending Order meetings, which annoyed McGonagall greatly. One day, Harry walked past the kitchen when he heard Professor McGonagall's voice talking to McClaggan.
"What do you think you're playing at, Salverio, trying to get Dumbledore's attention!"
"Now, Now, Minerva, calm down."
"Don't "Minerva" me!"
McClaggan said, "The reason I have been hiding all these years is because of Voldemort. I didn't want to leave you, Minerva, but I had no choice."
Professor McGonagall said, "Oh, really? You never came for me all these years!"
Harry decided he had heard enough, and ran to Ron's bedroom. Hermione and Ron were sitting on Ron's bed.
Harry said, "Ron! Hermione! Guess what I just heard?"
Ron said, "What?"
Harry told them what he had heard.
Hermione said, "So he must be McGonagall's husband or old boyfriend. Maybe that's why Dumbledore is keeping him around."
Ron said, "Professor McGonagall married? Nah. I doubt it!"
Hermione said, "I read in Hogwarts: A History, that some of the professors have spouses, so McGonagall probably has one. I'm sure Dumbledore has one, too."
Ron said, "Oh, really? Then why haven't we met Mrs. Dumbledore?"
Hermione said, "Think about it. Dumbledore is probably trying to protect his wife from Voldemort. If Voldemort learned of Dumbledore's wife, he could kill her."
Ron said, "Or it could be that McClaggan knows McGonagall from their school days. That's why he probably called her Minerva."
Hermione said, "Oh, Ronald, don't be so dense!"
Harry said, "Hermione, how would we know? We don't even know if Dumbledore's married, so let's not jump to conclusions."
Hermione said, "You're right, Harry. We shouldn't jump to conclusions until we know of more information."
Just then, Professor McGonagall entered the room, and she said, "POTTER! GET OUT HERE NOW!"
Harry walked out of the room. He had seen McGonagall that angry before, but this time Professor McGonagall's face was filled with anger and disappointment.
Professor McGonagall said, "Potter, you know it's not your business to nose in other people's business. It's not your affair what Mr. McClaggan and I were doing in the kitchen. Understand?"
Harry said, "Yes, but how did you know?"
McGonagall said, "Well, You made a lot of noise out in the hall, and Mr. McClaggan heard you, and told me that someone was in the hallway. I came out in the hall, and I saw you running away, and heading into Weasley's room, and when I came up the stairs, I heard you tell Miss Granger and Mr. Weasley what you had overheard. Now what do you have to say for yourself?"
Harry said, "I'm sorry, Professor."
McGonagall stormed away, and Harry felt guilty that he had disappointed the Head of Gryffindor, and wondered if McGonagall would ever forgive him.
