"Here!"

(Y/N) halted in front of the girls' bathroom in where she had seen the body. McGonagall and Snape wove inside the bathroom, and with a loud bang, the door opened forcefully.

Both of the professors stood frozen at the entrance of the bathroom as a horrible smell went around inside and outside the bathroom.

"Eurg!" Cho feigned a gag. "What's that?"

"That's a horrible smell!" said Ginny, covering her nose in an attempt to prevent the smell from coming inside her lungs.

"Ugh! I can't take it!" said Pansy, moving a little bit far from them until she reached the other end of the corridor but, (Y/N) noticed, she still managed to get the smell in her clothes.

Luna peered curiously over (Y/N)'s shoulder into where the two professors were examining the bathroom, and let out a loud gasp when she saw where the smell had came from. But she was not the only one who did it.

"Oh no!" gasped Hermione, her eyes was wide. "The body — oh! How horrible!"

"Hermione, you don't have to shout. I could just tell it from here!" Pansy shouted back. "Oh great! Professor Dumbledore's here!"

A series of loud booming footsteps filled the silent yet chaotic corridor and seconds passed by, Professor Dumbledore with Ron, Draco, Blaise and Cedric came trotting into the bathroom. Dumbledore went inside with McGonagall and Snape. The boys, however, remained outside with the rest.

"Holy shit!" yelled Draco the moment he stopped running and heaved out a deep breath.

Snape snapped his head to Draco's direction, saying;

"Language, Mr. Malfoy."

But Draco wasn't listening. He was trying hard not to gag at the sudden attack of the horrid smell to the deepest part of his lungs.

"I ain't smelling that." said Blaise and ran off to where Pansy was.

"Cho, let's go there." called Cedric to her girlfriend.

Cho didn't mind being dragged as long as she could get away there.

"I might as well clear off before I get the smell on my body." said Ron as he ran away as well, leaving Draco, who was unable to move, Luna, who was still peering inside the bathroom, Ginny, who slowly peered over the bathroom door's edges bravely, Hermione, who was just forcing herself to stay, and (Y/N), who exactly knew that she had to stay if ever the professors would start asking questions.

That didn't last any longer though as Dumbledore started talking.

"We'll have to bring the body down and might as we put it in the hospital wing for the mean time. And —" he turned at the students. "— I'd like someone to call Mr. Filch to have this bathroom cleaned up."

"I'll go, Professor." volunteered Draco, now unable to take the smell.

"Thank you, Draco."

Draco dashed off into the corridor, pulling Blaise with him and both vanished into the corner.

"(Y/N)." called Dumbledore, his eyes peering over the girl behind his half-moon glasses.

(Y/N), knowing what was coming, looked up to the headmaster with a strong gaze.

"Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape told me that you were the one who informed them about this."

"I did, Professor."
