Thanks to all the reviewers. It means a lot to me and this chapter almost didn't get posted because I hurt my hand on sunday. It involved a sofa, a banister, my hand getting caught the sofa and banister and me screaming at my older brother to move. And I'm sorry but this is only short but it needs to go in. The next one will be longer I promise.

Anyways now onto our feature presentation. Here's Chapter 3. Enjoy!

Chapter 3 - The Governor's Meeting

The next day, a group of people were sat around a table in the Great Hall at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"Are we opening the school or what?" one man said.

"Yes," another person replied.

This one word made the hall explode into an uproar.

People were shouting at one another and fists were slamming onto the table.

"Why should it open? Death Eaters were able to get into the castle last year. It simply isn't safe for the students to return."

"But where would the students continued with their studies?" a woman with brown hair asked.

"We'll send them to Beauxbatons and Durmstrang," another governor said.

"That will never work. Beauxbatons and Durmstrang would be too full and besides don't you think that the Death Eaters would work that one out. We can't risk attacks on those schools as well."

"I agree."

The governor's fell silent and looked at one another unable to reach a decision about what should happen to the school.

"Shall we break for lunch and continue this after we've eaten?"

"I really would like to carry on discussing this. We need to reach a decision as soon as possible before the letters get sent out."

"Are parents going to want to send their children to school during a war?"

"Funnily enough, Hogwarts is one of the safest places in this country. Are you forgetting that the Death Eaters got in last year purely because a student helped them in?" a familiar voice spoke up.

One of the governor's turned around and saw the new headmistress of Hogwarts stood behind them.

"McGonagall, what are you doing here?"

"Finding what all the commotion was about. I've heard everything. But I think you'll find that the letters have already been sent out. The school is opening," McGonagall explained.

"What about safety?"

"Okay, we'll reach a compromise. If by Christmas the war really is dangerous then I'll close the school and have the students sent home until after the war has ended. I'll even have an auror based here if that sways your decision."

The governor's looked at each other and nodded.

None of them wanted to cross the strict headmistress so they agreed with her compromise.

So it was agreed Hogwarts would open but if by Christmas, the war was getting nearer to the school and more dangerous then Hogwarts would be closed and the students would return home.

You see that little button down there. Well it's lifelong wish is to be pushed. You know you want to make the button happy. So grant it its' wish and push it to leave a review.
