It has been five days since what happened with Katie Bell and still, everybody was talking about it. She had been sent to St. Mungo's Hospital due to her being in critical condition. The amount of aurors protecting the school doubled and there were now aurors guarding Hogsmeade as well.Everybody was anxious to learn of any sort of news on Katie but the professors wouldn't say a thing.
Another interesting topic at Hogwarts was Slughorn's first Slug Club dinner. It was to be held tonight in his office. Hermione, Harry and Lorelai were dreading it. The only reason Lorelai and Hermione were going was go help out Harry, who was trying to do what Dumbledore asked. Nevertheless, the dinner was still hours away.
Classes have been different this week. The students could sense that the professors were frightened. Everybody with the right mind was frightened, some more than others. Needless to say, the professors urged that the students spent most their free time in the great hall instead of roaming the corridors. This didn't help with anybody's fears, it just made the students more frightened.
Every night there would be two aurors guiding the enterance to each common room. As if two aurors could hold off a bunch of death eaters. Knowing Voldemort, he would never send one of his followers alone, there would always be a group of them.
Nobody has seen much of Dumbledore these days, he spent most of his time in his office instead of giving reassuring words to his students. Deep down, he was scared as well.
It was now four in the afternoon, Hermione, Lorelai, Harry, Ginny, Ron, Neville and Luna were all sitting in one end of the Gryffindor table. Ginny and Luna were working on their Divination project while the others were doing their Charms homework. Flitwick gave them a ton of work to do.
In front of the students was a fruit bowl, a bowl of chips, water and pumpkin juice. The staff members had the house elves constantly working in the kitchen now that the students spent all of their time in the great hall and Hermione sure wasn't happy.
"The house elves never get breaks do they? As if they weren't working enough before. Now they are constantly working. This is just horrible" she starts off.
"Oh Bloody hell Hermione, stop talking about the bloody house elves!" Ron whines.
"They are treated well here. Dumbledore doesn't allow them to be mistreated so stop your complaining." Harry says.
"You should all join S.P.E.W, I made label pins." Hermione said.
"For the last time. No!" Ginny said.
"It's great fun, I love being a part of it." Luna added on.
"What a reliable source." Ron whispers. Lorelai smacks his arm and gives him a disapproving look.
Everybody goes back to studying for around two more hours until it's 6pm. Lorelai, Harry, Ginny and Hermione had to go and get ready for Slughorns dinner. It started at 7pm. They close their books and go up to professor McGonagall to ask for her permission to leave. She allows it and they all leave to go to their dorms except for Ginny who goes snd sits next to Dean.
