Which chapter does mcgonagall cancel quidditch

After Hermione is petrified while all of Hogwarts is outside watching the Quidditch match, the circumstances become more threatening; the creature responsible for the crime may not even be a student. With the diary gone, Harry can no longer communicate with Riddle, and so the burden of discovery lies entirely on him alone. Harry and Ron's decision to slip out of their dorms and question Hagrid is one of obligation to their involvement in the crisis. Harry wound up with the diary, he spoke with Tom, and now he feels it his responsibility to cut to the core of the mystery in any way he can, even at great personal risk.

Ron, as loyal as ever, accompanies him. This is the quintessential origin of Harry's heroism at Hogwarts; he is bold enough to break rules in search of evidence, and his situation brings together personal interest keeping Hogwarts open and functioning so that he can remain there instead of with the Dursleys and a general sense of integrity a need to do everything he can to help stop the attacks on his community.

The boys are handicapped by not having Hermione with them. Hermione pieces facts together in a way that could only be possible for someone as well-read as she. Having her petrified leaves Ron and Harry to figure out the information that Hermione sought.

With her out of the picture, the two boys must be more alert than ever, since their way of discovery is trial-and-error exploration, while Hermione's is based more on research. Here Ron and Harry must do both, and the need to revive the victims is more pressing than ever, now that their best friend is one of them. The mirror next to them serves as evidence, but of what we do not yet know. Obviously Hermione had learned that the monster in the Chamber was somehow rendered less dangerous by a mirror, but what she found is useless until the Mandrake potion will be ready.

SparkTeach Teacher's Handbook. And why did we just pass her. She had stolen the diary back from Harry unnoticed and accidentally made something bad happen to one of her friends and a Ravenclaw. Harry and Ron were clueless of this though and it was very easy to see.

She led them to a bed with someone similar laying on it…Hermione. Ron turned pale and Harry just gaped. Also tell her to meet Professor Dumbledore in his office, next chance you get. Now I suggest that you two go join the rest of your house in the Gryffindor Common Room. Like a rule breaker or something?

Ron shrugged. Like if she was just breaking rules or something was wrong or what. Ron laid down and sighed. Hagrid opens his cottage door looking extremely nervous and distracted. He invites Ron and Harry in for tea. Before they can really settle in to talk, there's a knock at the door. Harry and Ron hide under the Invisibility Cloak. It's Professor Dumbledore and a stranger with "rumpled gray hair and an anxious expression […] wearing a strange mixture of clothes: a pinstriped suit, a scarlet tie, a long black cloak, and pointed purple boots" This stranger is the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge.

He has come to arrest Hagrid for the attacks on Muggle-borns at the school. He points out that Hagrid's record is against him, and the Ministry has to do something. They're going to take him straight to Azkaban, the wizard prison, without a trial. Just then, Lucius Malfoy comes in. He has arrived to tell Professor Dumbledore that the school governors including Lucius have voted to remove Professor Dumbledore from office.

They can't trust him to run the school because, "At this rate, there'll be no Muggle-borns left at Hogwarts, and we all know what an awful loss that would be to the school" Professor Dumbledore agrees to go, but he also says very clearly, "I will only truly have left this school when none here are loyal to me. You will also find that help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it" Harry is sure that Professor Dumbledore knows he and Ron are there.

Hagrid also gives a parting word: "If anyone wanted ter find out some stuff , all they'd have ter do would be ter follow the spiders "
