Chapter 6

Dinner Warnings

Harry arrived back in the Great Hall for dinner just as the food was appearing on the four tables. Harry quickly made his way to the Gryffindor table and sat down beside Ron and Hermione. Hermione looked to Harry with a questionable look on her face.

"So why did Professor McGonagoll want you Harry?" Hermione asked.

"It wasn't Professor McGonagoll that wanted me, it was Professor Lupin," Harry told her.

"But why did he want you?" Hermione asked, worriedly. "Have you done something wrong?"

"It was just for a little talk," Harry answered.

"What type of talk?" Hermione asked, raising an eye brow.

Harry sighed and grabbed some chicken, poured some pumpkin juice into his goblet and also grabbed a few vegetables. Harry soon, looked over to the staff table and saw Professor Lupin just about to sit down when Professor Dumbledore stood up. Harry took his goblet and drank some of the pumpkin juice inside it.

"Everyone, please, quiet down!" Dumbledore shouted. Everyone in the Great Hall stopped talking and turned to look at Dumbledore. "Now, I just want to make a few minor adjustments to the rules," Dumbledore told the students.

Everyone in the hall remained silent and listened intently to their headmaster.

"As you already know, the Forbidden Forest is out of bounds." Dumbledore explained, "But, anyone who dares to venture into the forest won't just suffer death. You may suffer something worse … something you may be unable to control."

Ron leaned over Harry's shoulder and whispered, "What do you think he means?"

Harry just shrugged at Ron's question to try and keep up the act that he didn't know.

"The corridor opposite the potions classroom is strictly prohibited to student access," Dumbledore said. All the students looked at each other then looked back at Dumbledore. "Now, that that has been cleared up, please, enjoy your meals!"

Everyone turned back to their plates, full of food and started to eat.

"I wonder why the corridor opposite professor Snape's classroom is prohibited?" Hermione wondered aloud.

"I don't know," Harry said. "But, I do want to see why it's prohibited." Harry took a bite out of his chicken after he finished speaking.

"Oh no, Harry." Hermione frowned at him. "I don't want you to go down there and get hurt!"

"Hermione, you're not his Mother!" Ron exclaimed, glaring at her.

Harry stared at his plate of food once that sentence left Ron's mouth. Ron saw Harry's expression and realised what he had just said.

"Sorry, Harry, I didn't mean to…" Ron was cut off by Harry waving his hand. "It's okay, Ron, I know what you were trying to say, but I'm still going."

Hermione stared at Harry as if he had grown a second head and then sprouted fur all over his body. "But, Harry…" Hermione started but was cut off by Harry as well. "No, Hermione, I've made up my mind. I want to know why that corridor is prohibited."

Hermione looked down as though in thought for a second and then sighed and looked back up. "Well, okay, but if you find anything I want you to tell me so I can research it," Hermione told Harry.

Ron looked at Hermione and then whispered into Harry's ear. "She changed sides quick."

Hermione glared at Ron and the red head looked away out of fear. "I heard that."

Ron smiled, nervously as he spoke next, "You only want to research it to find out whether that corridor is hiding a monster down there like the Chamber of Secrets." After that sentence Ron took a bite out of his pumpkin pasty.

Hermione nodded her head at this. "Yes, just in case. Who knows what other dangers lurk in this school that we haven't been notified about?"

Harry looked down into his pumpkin juice in his hands as he heard her say that. That is true. What else don't we know?

I know I haven't updated this in YEARS, but I got out of Harry Potter for a while and I decided to re-read this story recently and I thought, 'I can't end it here!' So, I'm gonna continue it. Also it's one of those few that I wrote in a lined paper book up until a certain chapter. Also if there's some errors in here please don't mark them in comments as I can't fix them right now. I had a rage tantrum at my wireless mouse last night for continuously turning off and threw it on the ground. Now the left button only works, the right button (the one that brings up word corrects and synonyms) doesn't which sucks. But at least the main one works. It was only not working because of low battery. UGH! Why do I have such a short temper?

P.S. Bad News: Because I got out of Harry Potter and am mainly a Sonic fan now ... I can't remember the main plot to this in the scrolls, but I'll try to!

VFMH OUT!
