be willing to attempt."


And I ask: 
I have a question about all this. I was rereading GoF the other day and something struck me as funny. Where is Dumbledore when Fudge arrives with the Dementor?. He tells Snape: "... go down the grounds, find Cornelius Fudge , and bring him up to this office. He will undoubtedly want to question Crouch himself. Tell him I will be in the hospital wing in half an hour's time if he needs me"

After this he goes to his office with Harry, meets Sirius there, hears Harry account of the facts, takes Harry and Sirius to the hospital wing and leaves. So, where does he go? What does he do while Harry sleeps in the hospital wing and the dementor gives Crouch the kiss?

They seem to think he's in the hospital wing with Harry. "Where's Dumbledore?" Fudge demanded of Mrs Weasley. "He's not here" said Mrs. Weasley  angrily. "This is a hospital wing...."

Any theories???
