Hello! Here's another post...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hermione grudged through a day of classes before the night when she would find the answer to her problem. Harry had planned the outing on the perfect night: Halloween.

After the last class of the day (double Herbology with the Hufflepuffs) Harry and Hermione headed off to dinner. They arrived in the Great Hall when everyone began to trickle in and sit down at the four long tables. Dumbledore stood at the staff table, watching the students sit with their friends. After everyone had settled in, Professor McGonagal tapped her glass.

"Your attention, please." Her voice rung through the hall and all eyes looked at Dumbledore.

"Let the feast, begin!" Dumbledore announced.

Right on que, the plates filled with food. Apples, sugar mountains topped with gumdrops, roast beef, potatoes, and everything else that Hogwarts served on Halloween. Hermione helped herself to a small amount of food, and ate before tiptoeing out of the Great Hall.

Hermione and Harry had decided that the invisibility cloak was in no need except if Filch or someone else saw Hermione go into the Headmaster's office, which would look very suspicious saying that it was obvious that Dumbledore was at dinner.

Hermione walked through the hall, and found herself at the huge statue in front of Dumbledore's office.

"Pumpkin pastie," she said. The statue did not budge. Hermione was shocked. Had this been a trick from the Brain?

"Uhh... well, Harry always said that Dumbledore liked to name his passwords after candy..." Hermione thought out loud.

"Indeed I do."

Hermione screamed, looking around to see none other than Professor Dumbledore himself.

CLIFFHANGER!

So anyway, I need your opinion on how to end this story.

All in favor of ending this story short (two or three more normal posts) and simply, say cheese.

All in favor of ending this story after many intricate posts, say crackers.

Cheese or crackers?
