Professor Dumbledore sent all the Gryffindors 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.

Dumbledore: 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.

Dumbledore: 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.

Dumbledore: Send word with one of the ghosts.
Professor Dumbledore paused, about to leave the hall, and said

Dumbledore: 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.

Dumbledore: 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.

Percy: Everyone into their sleeping bags!

shouted Percy

Percy: Come on, now, no more talking! Lights out in ten minutes!

Ron: C'mon

Ron said to Harry, Y/n, Sarah and Hermione; they seized five sleeping bags and dragged them into a corner

Hermione: Do you think Black's still in the castle?

Hermione whispered anxiously.

Ron: Dumbledore obviously thinks he might be

said Ron.

Hermione: It's very lucky he picked tonight, you know

said Hermione as they climbed fully dressed into their sleeping bags and propped themselves on their elbows to talk.

Ron: The one night we weren't in the tower....I reckon he's lost track of time, being on the run

said Ron.

Hermione: Didn't realize it was Halloween. Otherwise he'd have come bursting in here.

Hermione shuddered.

Y/n: He knew exactly what he was doing, think about it, me and Harry don't have parents to sign are form for Hogmeade, everyone else was there while only me and Harry are left inside with only a few teachers left

Hermione grabbed Y/n's lower arm fearing the idea that he and Harry were so vulnerable at this point of the day and could of been killed, Harry nods in agreement with Y/n while Ron and Sarah were trying to think of how he even got in, all around them, people were asking one another the same question, How did he get in? Maybe he knows how to Apparate, said a Ravenclaw a few feet away, Just appear out of thin air, you know. Disguised himself, probably, said a Hufflepuff fifth year. He could've flown in, suggested Dean Thomas.

Hermione: Honestly, am I the only person who's ever bothered to read Hogwarts, A History?

said Hermione crossly

Y/n: Probably, Why?

Hermione: Because the castle's protected by more than walls, You know,,,

said Hermione.
