Week 028: Timeline and Daily Prophet
Week 028: 'Keep Your Friends Close'
Sunday, March 19th - Saturday, March 25th, 2006
Where in bloody hell is Dumbledore? The students whisper about the Headmaster's location at every meal, concerned by his empty seat at the staff table. Minerva McGonagall knows something about something, and she's not telling. Though she didn't expect that her first week as active Headmistress would go smoothly, she was frustrated enough having to push her first animagus training meeting to Monday. Ministry officials now look to hand her the position for good, and despite Lucius Malfoy's positive thoughts on her character, McGonagall's not comfortable without Albus Dumbledore running the Hogwarts show.
As if Hogwarts has not been invaded enough in past weeks, another visitor makes an appearance. Far too many mistakes have been made, too many warnings tossed aside, too many signs of an unprepared student population. Life in the wizarding world is no longer easy, though some would claim it never has been, and after the Hogsmeade attacks? There was no more room for taking chances.
Lucius Malfoy, once again popular with some of the public, believes McGonagall will be far easier to sneak past than the Headmaster on probation. With his kind words regarding the woman, he's decided to play by the rules of a common philosophy - keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Little does he know that there are some on Dumbledore's side following the same motto. And the students? They were keeping their friends closer than ever before.
