six the mad hatter

ALL THE GRYFFINDORS were sent back to the Great Hall, where they were joined ten minutes later by the students from Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin, who all looked extremely confused.
'The teachers and I need to conduct a thorough search of the castle,' Professor Dumbledore told them as Professors McGonagall and Flitwick closed all doors into the Hall. 'I'm afraid that, for your own safety, you will have to spend the night here. I want the Prefects to stand guard over the entrances to the Hall and I am leaving the Head Boy and Girl in charge. Any disturbance should be reported to me immediately,' he added to Percy, who was looking immensely proud and important. 'Send word with one of the ghosts.'
Professor Dumbledore paused, about to the leave the Hall, and said, 'Oh, yes, you'll be needing ...' One casual wave of his wand and the long tables flew to the edges of the Hall and stood themselves against the walls; another wave, and the floor was covered with hundreds of squashy purple sleeping bags.
'Sleep well,' said Professor Dumbledore, closing the door behind him.
The Hall immediately began to buzz excitedly; the Gryffindors were telling the rest of the school what had just happened.
'Everyone into their sleeping bags!' shouted Percy. 'Come on now, no more talking! Lights out in ten minutes!'
'Oh, really, Perce,' Charlotte groaned.
'Yeah, c'mon, mate,' Fred said, crossing his arms. 'One of us could have been viscously murdered tonight and you won't give us a chance to talk about it?'
'And do you honestly think we'll be able to sleep knowing there's a murderer running around the castle?' George confronted dramatically.
