The Book of Curses
Chapter 20
"Trust me, it's a good idea." I groaned. The next day, I was trying to persuade my friends to go to Flourish and Blotts and see if there were any books about the Curse.
"It is." Leona said.
Dumbledore was walking past.
"Oh, Professor." Leona called out.
"What, Miss Adams?"
"I seem to of lost my copy of The Standard Book of Spells. Could we please Floo to Diagon Alley?"
"No- oh, well I suppose so. But just this once. And please be careful."
"Yes, Professor." We chorused.
"Chocolate Frog!" Melody cried.
After climbing the steps, Leona grabbed a pinch of Floo powder and chucked it over herself, shouting, "Diagon Alley!" before being swallowed by green flames.
Then it was my turn. "Diagon Alley!" I cried, throwing the powder over me. I shut my eyes as I fell, not wanting to see the whizzing colours that made me feel sick. I then tumbled out of a fireplace in Ollivander's. Luckily, Ollivander seemed to be out. We walked to Flourish and Blotts. After five minutes, I found a book with a thick red cover. The title was 'Curses and Legends That Actually Exist'. We went to the counter, payed the required coins and walked back. More flames. Then finally, we were back in Dumbledore's office. He was sitting in his office, writing, whilst his Phoenix, Fawkes watched him.
"Ahh." Dumbledore looked up. "An... interesting copy of The Standard Book of Spells. I am glad you want to break the curse and you may, of course, read the book. But please leave the Curse Business to us Professors."
"Uh... yes, Professor." We rushed out of his office. And after we had got to the Common Room, we started reading.
