Chapter 8: Halloween
Harry got out of the Hospital Wing just 4 days before Halloween. Harry walked up to his dormitry with Ron and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. The next day Harry walked down to the Common Room to see Hermione and Ginny talking about something in a corner. Thinking that they need their privacy, he just sat down and took out his study notes. He read them over, and over until about 8:00, when he went to breakfast. He sat down in his regular spot and took a few pieces of Bacon, a little Toast, and a breakfast burrito. He took a bite of bacon when Hedwig came through the window and dropped a letter right on top of his Burrito. He opened it up.
Dear Harry
Want to come down to my hut around 4:00 for a cup of tea?
Tell Hermione and Ron to come too.
Hagrid
Like all of his letters, it was on a little piece of parchment. Harry showed it to Ron and he nodded his head. Hermione came in with Ginny a couple minutes later and sat down right across them. Harry handed the note to Hermione and she read it. "Sorry Harry, but I have to be in the headmasters office at 4:00". Harry frowned.
"All right" He said and ate his breakfast, obviously looking a little disappointed.
When 4:00 came around he went to Hagrids. Hagrid was outside smiling at Ron and him, offering him inside.
"I hear for Snapes class you need Wark Clips" He said whispering, as if knowing someone else was already there. Ron smiled under his breath so that Harry and Hagrid wouldn't see.
"Anyway, I know that there's some Wark Chips in my garden, but some Venemous Tantaculas are growing fast. There's at least 6 of them in there" Hagrid said sadly.
"I can take care of them" Harry said without hesitation.
"They're not like the ones when you were in first year. These ones are tougher" Hagrid said to Harry which was a lie to Harry.
"Can I see your garden?" Harry said standing up.
"No" Hagrid said with sweat running down his face.
"Oh, never mind" Harry said and walked to the door. Ron took one look at Hagrid and followed Harry, thinking just as planned.
At around 7:30 after the Halloween feast, Hermione walked up the stairs into the Common Room. She saw Harry sitting in a chair and she sat beside him. He was just staring into the fire. She shaked him. "Harry?" He didn't respond. She waved her hand in front of his face. No answer. She poked him and he still didn't respond. She just shook her head and took her book out. She looked into the fire to see what Harry was looking at and stared too.
Ron came in at 7:35 and saw Harry and Hermione in seperate chairs. He walked over and saw them staring into the fire and stared too. What he saw startled him.
