'But Professor!' he shouted. 'We've got to play ... the Cup ... Gryffindor ...'
Professor McGonagall ignored him and continued to shout through her megaphone: 'All students are to make their way back to the house common rooms, where their Heads of Houses will give them further information. As quickly as you can, please!'
Then she lowered the megaphone and beckoned Harry over to her.
'Potter, I think you'd better come with me ...'
Wondering how she could possibly suspect him this time, Harry saw Ron detach himself from the complaining crowd; he came running up to them as they set off towards the castle. To Harry's surprise, Professor McGonagall didn't object.
'Yes, perhaps you'd better come too, Weasley.'
Some of the students swarming around them were grumbling about the match being cancelled, others looked worried. Harry and Ron followed Professor McGonagall back into the school and up the marble staircase. But they weren't taken to anybody's office this time.
