Harry Potter:
The Trion-Hunt
Chapter 2
Outside the Restricted Section, screams could be heard, as people saw the symbol of Lord Voldemort.
"DELETRUS!"
A shot of blue light appeared and removed the skull.
Harry slowly turned around.
Professor McGonnagal stood in the doorframe, her wand raised, and face lit with a rare fury.
"Never, Mister Malfoy, NEVER, have I had to witness this! You have done this, and as a punishment, your house shall lose all their points, and start again from the start! Professor Dumbledore will be told about this heinous deed, and he shall pass on your punishment."
Behind her, Harry noticed, were Professors Snape and Flitwick. They both had expressions of amazement upon their faces. Snape stepped forward to speak.
"Potter should receive a punishment, too, don't you think, Minerva?"
"Yes, Potter, you shall help Professor Flitwick tidy his class, and learn when and when not to use spells."
"Of course, Minerva. Potter, you shall help me when you are due for History. And you shall do Seventh grade work, as you are excellent at Charms." squeaked Flitwick.
Snape, Flitwick and McGonnagal turned and left the Library, followed by Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle, giving Harry the chance to read up on Trion's.
When he had finished, he raced to his next class; Herbology. He had this class with Hufflepuff, meaning he would not have to cope with the Slytherin's until the evening.
He met Hermione again, and told her what he had found, and then asked where Ron was.
"He's in the Hospital Wing, because he still feels the pain that the brains gave him."
Harry winced. Last year, Ron had been wrapped in brains at the Ministry of Magic, while they were in a battle with Death Eaters, servants of Lord Voldemort.
After Herbology, Harry had Quidditch practice. Ron had joined the team as Keeper, and he was steadily improving.
As they went back to their dormitories, Harry looked outside the tower window for a minute. He remembered the first time he had heard Dumbledore scared.
Then he fell back and went to sleep.
