After having finished his supper Justin made his way to the Headmaster's

office. Just outside it's entrance Justin was stopped by Prof. Snape. Justin

jumped as he almost ran right into his Potions teacher.

" And where might you be going Mr. Wellheart? " asked Snape.

" I needed to speak with the headmaster, Professor." answered Justin. "

How do I get inside his office? "

" All you need to say is ' sherbit lemon' and the eagle will rise revealing a

staircase you must climb. Then there is a door that you must knock on. "

" Thank you Prof. Snape. You know you're really not as bad as everyone

says." said Justin forgetting himself.

" What is that supposed to mean?! " Snape said as he loomed closer and

closer towards Justin.

" Nothing, Sir. I only meant that you were nicer than I thought is all. I

didn't mean any disrespect. I...I " Justin was interupted by the sound of the

eagle beginning to expose tha hidden staircase that led to Dumbledore's

office.

" Aah, Justin I was just coming to find you. " Dumbledore exclaimed. "

Professor Snape would you mind leaving us for a moment or two?"

" Of course, Headmaster. Justin, do see me after breakfast tomorrow

morning, won't you? " said Snape as he left the corridor.
