The students of Hogwarts had never had as much gossip as the last twenty-four hours had brought them. In that short time frame the hated pet of Argus Filch, Mrs Norris, had been attacked and left with the threat of The Chamber of Secrets being opened. Then, The Board of Governors had arrived at the school and sacked Professor Binns, replacing him with Professor Lupin. Harry and Hermione walked to their next class side by side, their friends behind them, they had been rather distracted in their previous class knowing the next lesson was History of Magic. Henry Potter had been declaring rather loudly that "Uncle Remus would put the dirty snakes in their place’ and bragging about how close he was to the man. Draco was doing a scarily accurate impression of the redhead while they were walking past the corridor where Mrs Norris was petrified. Filch was still there futilely trying to clean the words off the wall with "Skower’s All-Purpose Magical Mess Remover’. They hurried past hoping to avoid the yelling he was currently giving two first year Hufflepuff girls.
