Halloween was......interesting. The day started out normally. We had no classes since it was Saturday. All day I was looking forward to the feast. When it was time for the feast I ran down to the great hall faster than you could say 'Quidditch'.
After the feast Neville, Dean, Seamus and I make our way towards the common room. When we reached the portrait we found it jammed with students. "Why isn't anyone going in?" I heard Ron says.
"Let me through, please,' Percy said. Trying to get to the portrait. "What's the hold-up here?" He continues pushing through the crowd. "You can't all have forgotten the password,-excuse me I'm head boy-" Silence. Then he said in a sharp tone, "Somebody go get professor Dumbledore. Quick."
The next moment, Dumbledore was there. Everyone moved aside. I finally got a view of the portrait. "Merlin," I say. The fat lady was gone. The portrait had been slashed.
"We need to find her," Dumbledore said. "Professor McGonagall, please go to Mr. Filch at once and tell him to search every painting for the fat lady."
"You'll be lucky!" a voice said. It was Peeves. He looked delighted. "What do you mean Peeves," Dumbledore said calmly. "Ashamed, Your Headship, sir. Doesn't want to be seen. She's a horrible mess. Saw her running through the landscape up on the fourth floor, sir, dodging between trees. Crying something dreadful." He said. "Poor thing." He added with a smile on his face.
"Did she say what happened," Dumbledore said. "Oh yes, Professor." Peeves said. "He got very angry when she wouldn't let him in, you see. Nasty temper he's got that Sirius Black.

I tossed and turned in my sleeping bag. Sirius Black got into the castle. How? After the experience outside Gryffindor Tower. Dumbledore requested that all students are to sleep in the Great Hall. So here I am. Trying to sleep while in a sleeping bag on the ground of the great hall in Hogwarts. Everyone else is asleep. Well, I doubt everyone. Harry's probably awake. I would be too if I thought that the man who wanted to kill me had been in the castle. My thoughts trail to Christmas. My parents insist that I come home this year. It wouldn't be that bad but they had to go and invite the one and only Draco Malfoy. As long as he stays out of my way we should be fine.......hopefully.
