Harry Potter and What Happened After - Sahits

eathing slow down and the crying stop. Ginny had fallen asleep and Hermione didn't have the
strength or feel the need to levitate the sad witch to her bed.
Meanwhile, Ron had gone to the headmistress' office, and after getting past the stone gargoyle with the
password that had been given to him he climbed the spiral staircase to the big wooden doors that were
the entrance to the office. As he raised his hand to knock it occurred to Ron that McGonagall wouldn't
be in her office, she'd be asleep, and he had no idea where the teachers slept.
After a few moments he decided to knock on the door and see what happened. He knocked, and after a
few moments of silence the door swung open, revealing a darkened office.
Behind McGonagall's desk was the portrait of Dumbledore, it was the one that spoke, "Ah, Mr.
Weasley, what brings you here at this late hour?"
"Sir, I need to speak to Headmistress McGonagall right away," Ron said, trying to keep the worry out
of his voice.
"About what boy?" asked the portrait hanging next to Dumbledore's, it was Snape. "She is a very busy
woman, when she was a teacher you may have been able to barge in on her in the middle of the
night…"
"Calm down Severus, I'll go get Minerva," said Dumbledore's portrait. The portrait Dumbledore slid
from his frame and disappeared.
"What is this about boy?" asked the portrait Snape. The stare that he was giving Ron reminded him of
the potions classes that had plagued his first 5 years of school here.
"Uh…It's about Harry…Sir," said Ron, a bit reluctant to tell Snape what was going on, but he supposed
that Snape would find out once Professor McGonagall came in any way.
"Oh? What has that incompetent fool gotten himself into this time?" asked the dead, greasy haired
Headmaster.
"Yes, please tell us what kind of trouble Mr. Potter has gotten himself into," came the authoritative and
tired sounding voice of Headmistress McGonagall.
"It was the room, and the list we told you we were looking for," said Ron.
"You mean the one that you've been looking for for almost a month and still haven't found?" asked
Professor McGonagall
"Yes," said Ron, "but tonight we figured out that we'd been asking the wrong way. Then Harry phrased
the question the way we thought it should be phrased, and suddenly The Room of Requirement started
rumbling and Harry just vanished in to thin air. Hermione said she thought she knew what might have
happened and then showed us this Journal entry." At this point Ron handed the Headmistress the old
Journal. Hermione had found it while looking through all the books that the room had, and decided that
it would be an interesting read.
After reading the entry that Ron had indicated Professor McGonagall sighed heavily and sat down at
her desk. "You may as well sit down also Mr. Weasley," she said, indicating a chair that Ron hadn't
noticed before. "You'll have to tell me everything you can remember if we are to find Mr. Potter."
"Ok," said Ron, and without hesitation he launched into the story that explained what they had been
doing for the last month. When he was finally done he looked closely at Professor McGonagall to see
what her reaction was, and found that her face was as hard to read as invisible ink.
"Alright Mr. Weasley, let me get this exactly right," said the aging Headmistress, "Mr. Potter just
disappeared, there was no trap door opening, no wall dropping in between you, Ms. Weasley, Ms.
