Notes:

We've made it to the second book! Be sure to have it with you!

I don't own Harry Potter.

Chapter Text

The next morning, after everyone had finished with their breakfast and Bathilda had returned from going home quickly to check on her 

cat

, Harry wanted to read the next chapter, but Sirius wouldn't have it.

"I don't need you skipping a part, just to avoid us worrying about you." he said scolding him lightly.

“The Unspeakables said that we couldn’t do that.” pouted Harry.

“Don’t care.” said Sirius, “ Besides, remember what I said last night? What if you get tired right in the middle of reading? If I volunteer to read, you can read half.” he said fairly.

So it was decided that Professor Flitwick would begin the reading of the second chapter. He went and picked up a completely different book then the one they had spent the past week or so reading.

"The next book is called ' Title of second book'." he said loudly.

Ginny motioned to Harry that she would sit beside her mother, father and oldest brothers. Harry nodded and smiled understandingly.

“I think I ‘d better explain something, I rechecked the powers of ‘Memorial Books’ and found that as the books progress, they gain a bit more strength. Now for this chapter, we may experience a Scattered Shot and a Recollection Scroll in one day, or three Scattered Shots.” said the Head Unspeakable. People began to talk about themselves excitedly, they loved the short movies (as one of the muggleborns called it.) though they didn’t really like the bad memories.

Professor Flitwick took a deep breath and read the chapter title, rather reluctantly.

First chapter title.

"Oh, I don't think I really want to hear this." said Sirius wincing a little.

First paragraph, first sentence.

"And it won't be the last." said Harry shaking his head.

End of first paragraph.

"That would be Hedwig." said Ron with a smirk.

"She is the best alarm clock, during the summer." said Harry, watching his owl as she fluttered down to him. She puffed out her feathered chest importantly.

Dialogue line.

"If you would let me let her out, she wouldn't be hooting so loudly in the morning." said Harry rolling his eyes.

"He didn't let her out?" asked Sirius angrily.

"He hates her with a passion." said Harry stroking Hedwig's feathers absently. "She's not too fond of him either."

Hedwig clicked her beak angrily at the book.

Second paragraph.

Dialogue line.

Dialogue set, second sentence.

"Yes!" yelled everyone in the Great Hall in unison.

“Or was that a trick question?” said George out loud.

End of dialogue set.
