Harry left Dumbledore's office with the lowest spirits he could remember. Not only did he either have to die, or kill another, but the closest thing he had ever had to a parent was gone.

It was one thing to loose someone you hardly knew, but quite another to loose the only decent family you had left in the world.

Harry had to lean heavily on the wall as he made his way back to the Gryffindor common room. He almost crashed into Professor McGonagall as he turned into the south corridor.

"Potter! Thank goodness I've found you. Madam Pomfrey would like to see you in the hospital wing before you head down to the Great Hall for breakfast."

"Professor, I wasn't going –,"

"Never mind where you were going Potter. Just know that if you do not see Madam Pomfrey in the hospital wing soon, you won't be hearing the end of it from her!"

With that said, Professor McGonagall turned on her heel and rushed off towards the Great Hall, leaving Harry alone.

Harry started off for the hospital wing, hoping Madam Pomfrey would simply let him be.
