After the Battle

Chapter 9

Having spoken to George about Ron's idea we all walked to the leakey cauldron where we planned to apparate to the Three Broomsticks.

'George seemed thrilled with the idea, Ron', Ginny said to her brother reassuringly. 'Harry and I went in earlier and he really looked like he needed some help, it was manic.'

Ron grinned.

'Congratulatuions', Hermione whispered into his ear.

We entered the Leaky Cauldron and - CRACK- apparated into the Three Broomsticks.

I walked up to the bar, 'Excuse me, Madam Rosmerta. I was wondering whether you know where I ight be able to find Proffesor McGonagal?'

'Harry Potter! Well, well, well, it's good to see you! She'll be up at the castle I expect but you'll be able to find Hagrid at the Hog's Head and he'll be able to take you to her.'

'Thanks', I said and left the pub, Ginny, Ron and Hermione in tow.

'What did she say, Harry?' Hermione asked.

'She's in the castle but Hagrids in the Hogs Head and he'll be able to take her to us.'

As we entered the Hogs Head we could hear Hagrids booming voice, ''arry m'boy. Good t' see ya, good t' see ya.' He said patting my head, 'And you three, I presume your looking for me in 'ere.'

'Yes, we are', I replied. 'I was wondering if you would be able to take us to see Proffesor McGonagoll'

'No trouble, No trouble', he muttered as we left the pub for the school.
