The Grindelwalds 3

We Need Help Part 19

By the time Luzia reached Professor Ittle's office he was leaving it.

"Professor?"

"Yes, Luzia."

"Professor McGonagall told me to speak to you about everything, did you know that Johnny has returned?"

"Yes, Luzia." He said while stopping walking. "Professor McGonagall told him to go to the hospital wing to be checked over."

"That's where I saw him, but he wouldn't speak to me. He told me that Penelope was taken too-"

"Penelope? Penelope Grindelwald?"

"My sister yes-"

"Jesus! We need to find Professor McGonagall, did she say where she was going?"

"She said she needed to get ready for another class."

"Alright, go back to the hospital wing and sit with Johnny while I get Professor McGonagall and we'll meet you there shortly."

"Yes sir."

Professor Ittle started walking again, but this time it was more of a run. Luzia speed walked back to the hospital wing and Johnny was still laid on the bed.

"Johnny?"

"I told you to leave me alone, Luzia."

"I know, but  I need to know more about my sister. Are you sure it was her?"

"Yes, she looked unconscious though so they must have done something to her before she arrived."

"Arrived where, Johnny?" Luzia asked while sitting on a chair beside Johnny's bed.

"In the little cottage in Hogsmeade."

"Little cottage? My mums cottage?"

"No idea."

Then Professor McGonagall and Professor Ittle came walking in.

"Johnny?" Professor McGonagall said as she came closer.

"Yes?"

"Professor Ittle told me that you think Penelope was taken to the cottage in Hogsmeade. Is that correct?"

"Yes, just before I arrived, but as I was just telling Luzia, Penelope was unconscious and she wasn't waking up."

"Do you think she is dead, Johnny?" Luzia asked.

"She was made little sleepy noises, but I don't know if something was seriously wrong or not."

"Oh no!" Luzia screamed. She stood up and walked away from Johnny, Professor McGonagall and Professor Ittle.

"It'll be ok, Luzia." Professor Ittle said while tying his best to comfort her.

"Are you sure Delphini did this, Dipper?" Professor McGonagall asked.

Delphini? Luzia didn't know what to do, she wasn't ready to lose another sibling. Luzia was shaking and crying at this point. She needed to tell Richard about what had happened- he lived in Hogsmeade, in a cave so he must have seen something. She also knew that she needed to speak to her dad, he is the only wizard she knew who would be powerful enough to take on Delphini. She turned to face the others and spoke, "I'm going to go for a walk." She then rushed out of the hospital wing and ran up to the Gryffindor common room.

The common room was quiet as lessons were currently in session. Luzia went up to her dorm room and checked every single bedside draw to find some paper and a quill.  She then ran back down stairs and to Hogsmeade. She sneaked round the school and behind the row of shops like usual. As she was running she noticed that her mothers cottage was missing from where it normally was. She didn't have time to stop and think about it though, so she started climbing the cliff as quickly as she could while screaming Richards name.
