CHAPTER 8
• The Break down •

Sapphire's POV

December first came by and the great hall are now filled with Christmas Decorations. It's been already five years but I'm still fascinated with Hogwarts' very own flurry. It's truly magical here.

Natela and I are eating lunch while doing our essay for potions to be passed this coming Friday. We are also planning to go to Hogsmeade this Saturday to buy stuff, and of course, to have Butterbeer.

"I'm done!" Nat almost yelled as she finished the essay. I looked at her and she's now focusing on eating her lunch.

"You done Saph?" she asked me while chewing her chicken.

"Almost. And stop talking when your mouth is full." I said frowning at her. And I saw her mouthed 'sorry'.

I'm already finished with my essay and our lunch so we just talked about the places to go to and the stuff we need to buy this Saturday.

"You know Saph, I heard some students talk about the newly opened cafe near the Zonkos. Do you want to try there?" Natela asked me while wiggling her brows. She knows I won't reject her because its coffee we're talking about.

"Is that even a question?" I scoffed at her and we both laugh after.

I love hanging out with Natela. I will never regret that I accepted our friendship wholeheartedly.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Natela and I are walking back to the common room when Professor McGonagall walked towards us and looked at me with her usual look.

I suddenly felt scared. Did I do something wrong? Or did I failed Transfiguration? I can feel my palms sweat by just thinking about it.

"Ms. Marini, Professor Dumbledore is looking for you. Please come with me. I will escort you to his office."

"Oh! Ahmm okay professor."

I looked at Natela and told her to just go ahead to the common room and I'll just follow. She just nodded at me and smiled a little. It seems like Natela is worrying for me too.

For the whole time Professor McGonagall escorted me to the office I just closed my mouth and not say anything. I feel so nervous I feel like I'm gonna vomit. There's a lot of scenarios going on my mind. I was so tensed I didn't realize we're already standing in front of the door to Professor Dumbledores' office.

I looked at Professor McGonagall as she mouthed the password.

"Sherbet Lemon" she then looked at me and nodded.

"I believe I must go now. Professor Dumbledore is already waiting for you." she smiled a little as I nodded.

As I reached the top, I almost hesitated to knock but I did. I can feel the sweat dripping down my forehead and I wiped it with my necktie. Jeez! It's hot.

I was about to knock again when the door suddenly opened.

"Please come in and have a seat Ms. Marini." Professor said as he pointed the chair in front of his office table.

I looked around his office and noticed how massive it is. It's my first time here. I smiled a little because I kind of find his office interesting and fascinating

"Hi Professor Dumbledore. I just wanted to ask if I did something wrong?" I asked him as soon as my butt touched the chair. Professor Dumbledore just waved both of his hands in front of me, as if he was saying that I don't.
