A/n
I'm trying not to call Dumbledore 'Dumbles' in this chapter, since i like calling him that as a joke. I also like calling Voldemort 'Voldy' or 'Tommy', depends on the mood.
The 2nd chapter keeps on showing up as unpublished- well, it'll probably happen with this one too.
Harry Potter was written by J. K. Rowling and i don't own it.

Hermione stood in the Headmaster's office with Draco and Ron. They were waiting for Dumbledore to say something , since they had told him about the Harry baslisk that could be roaming the school. Dumbledore was enjoying his sherbet lemons with some lemon drops waiting patiently on the desk (A/n i imagine him having a desk in his office. Or am i wrong?), he didn't seem to remember that Hermione, Draco, and Ron were in the room.

Draco was getting increasingly nervous, but refused to show it to Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts and the defeater of Grindelwauld, because of his pride as a 'Pure-blood'. He looked at the pictures of the previous headmasters, who were seemingly sleeping, and just stared, since what else was he supposed to do? Watch Dumbledore eat his candy, stare while he puts them in his mouth? No, that would be much unfitting for a Pure-blood, so he just settled with staring at the moving chest of a headmaster as they 'slept'.

Hermione was the first one to speak up, trying not to let an annoyed look cross her face, "Sir, I don't mean to be rude, but what should we do about Harry, who is a baslisk, a serpent that can kill students, roaming around Hogwarts, lost?" She put emphasis on 'baslisk' and 'lost'.

Dumbledore simply smiled, "Ah, yes, Harry. I'm guite sure that he won't be petrifying, or killing, students if he is roaming Hogwarts. A student most likely will find him and bring him back."

"But, what if no student finds him?" Hermione argued (a/n who would imagine, Hermione, arguing with a teacher?), "We need to search for him, if not because of him being lost, but because of the danger he could be for other students!"

"You are guite right, Mrs. Granger."

Ron and Hermione quickly turned around in shock, while Draco just looked back to see who spoke. McGonagall was standing there, in all her glory, staring at Dumbldore. Draco returned to staring at a 'sleeping' headmaster, while Hermione and Ron stared at McGonagall in surprise for a little while before looking at Dumbledore, who was now enjoying a lemon drop, to see how he would respond.

"Ah, wonderful day isn't it Minerva?"

"Yes, Albus, it is wonderful day," she said unpatiently, "but we should be looking for a baslisk in Hogwarts, not eating candy."

"Oh, that reminds me, would you like a lemon drop?" He smiled while holding one out to them.

"No, sir/Albus," came from everyone in the room, including Draco, who had turned to finally look at Dumbledore but not at his eyes.

"Shame," he said before popping the lemon drop into his mouth (popping?).

McGonagall sighed and turned to Draco with a stern look in her eyes. "Now, tell me, how did you managed to lose a baslisk?"

Draco just had one not-Pure-blood-like thought, Shit. He quickly wove a believeable story about losing a Potter baslisk. McGonagall seemed to believe it, but Ron was suspicious. Ron thought that Harry could be right about Malfoy being a death eater, and what would stop Malfoy from giving Harry to the bloody dark lord himself?

Ron narrowed his eyes, actually having reasonable thoughts for once... before that was ruined by, 'I mean, he's a bloody Slytherin! Of course he would give away Harry to the dark lord. It would be the best moment since Harry would be vulnerable, being not used to his new snake body.'

"Well, we might as well look for Harry then. Minerva, do tell the other professors about the lost baslisk Harry, no need telling Horace since he was there," Dumbledore told McGonagall, getting up from where he sat. "If we can't find him, we'll have to search outside of Hogwarts, since he could be away from Hogwarts."

McGonagall nodded and left the office. Dumbledore looked at the 3 students before him. "Classes are cancelled for today," he said. "You may leave."

The three nodded and left the room, Dumbledore watching them go. He looked at Fawkes, his familar phoenix, who let out a soft trill. He sighed, saying, "What am I to do if Tom has Harry?" Dumbledore had seen the nervousness in Draco, and knew that he had a mission from Voldemort, so he felt worried that Harry could've fallen into Voldemort's hands.

"Well, seems the boy has gotten himself into guite the predicament," Phineas Black muttered to himself. Phineas used to be a headmaster of Hogwarts.

There's the end of that chapter.

Also, when i was searching up Dumbles name, i found out that Dumbledore is a old word meaning 'bumblebee'. Dumbles is a bumblebee. Bumbles!
Hunting lessons (on the rat) with Nagini will happen, probably, next chapter.

Also, I'm rereading the Harry Potter series out of boredom (and because i want to refresh my memory on a few things).

Well, people have been reading this. Anyways, I'll be going, bye.
