Neville Longbottom, the boy who lived year 2

Chapter 10

While he headed to the common room he heard something.

"Blood...must get blood! Let me rip you...let me kill you!"

Then he saw Nearly-headless Nick and then Justin. He walked over to him and double checked on him.

"Caught in the act! I'll have you out this time Longbottom. Mark my words." Mr. Filthy said and went to go get someone.

"No, Mr. Filch, you don't understand!" Harry said then saw spiders.

Then McGonagall came and rushed over. Then she stared at them in shock.

"Professor, I swear I didn't."

She shook her head. "This is out of my hands, Longbottom."

So they followed her somewhere and saw a stone phoenix.

"Professor Dumbledore will be waiting for you." she said.

He walked over and listened to her say the password.

"Show-bout lemon."

Then she opened her hands and then it opened and Neville stepped up.

When he got there they opened the door.

"Professor Dumbledore?" Neville said.

He didn't get an answer so they went inside.

When he got there he headed to Fawkes smiling and then suddenly he saw Fawkes turn into flames.

"Neville?"

They looked up and saw Dumbledore standing there.

"I can see it was time for Fawkes to be reborn?"

"Yes and about time to. He's been looking dreadful for days. Pity you had to see him on a burning day." Dumbledore said.

Suddenly his door opened and they all looked up.

"Professor Dumbledore Sir, wait! Professor it wasn't Neville, Neville would never kill no one never." Hagrid started.

"Hagrid." Dumbledore said raising his hand to calm him down.

"In fact I'd swear even in front of the minister of magic!" Hagrid said.

"HAGRID! Relax, I do not believe, that Neville attacked anyone."

"Of course you don't I-. Oh, right then. I'll just wait outside then."

"Yes."

Then Hagrid left and Neville looked at him.

"You don't think it was me Professor?" Neville asked.

"No Neville, I do not think it was you. But I must ask you two, is there something you wish to tell me?"

He shook his head to. "No sir, nothing."

"Very well then, off you go." he said raising his head.

So they split up and Neville went to find Harry, Ron and Hermione.

They were in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom working on the potion.

"Ok. It looks like it's almost done." Hermione said.

The three of them nodded.
