Rey left the History of Magic class in a rather sour mood. He could not fathom why Professor Dumbledore was so adamant for him to send the letter to Professor Snape, prompting him to arrived late to his own class. He was the Headmaster for Gods' sake! Rey definitely had the right to suspect that something suspicious was happening, especially about how the Potions Master act around him and Cedric. Double Suspicious.
But Suspicion aside, Rey have a more important task in his hands right now, which was picking Max up from Madam Pompfrey. He was not sick or anything, Cedric just left Max there as if the Hospital Wing also serves as a day care. Truth to be told, Rey himself could not understand how could Madam Pompfrey accepted such request.
When Rey finally arrived at the Hospital Wing, he was greeted by the usual smell of medicine. The room itself was quaint and unusually vacant, considering how the students would always come and complain over the most minor inconveniences that were caused by the cold weather. Maybe this time around the students were too busy chasing each other's down to get a date for the upcoming Ball. That could only make him wonder how Cedric was holding on.
"Madam Pompfrey?" He called her, as there seemed to be nobody there.
After hearing no response, he came to check her office, only to find that she wasn't there. Max was nowhere to be found too. But just when he was about to contemplating whether or not that he should panic, he heard someone called Max's name.
"Max! Max! Don't run!" a woman's voice rang through the halls behind him. No one would need to take a second guess who that woman was.
True to his guess, Rey saw a golden ball of fur coming out of the corner down the hall. It was cute how Max sprinted with his tiny legs. Bet the only thing that made him couldn't bark was because he had a toy in his mouth.
"Max!!" Rey squealed as he kneels onto the floor. It didn't take long for Max to get into his embrace.
"I missed you soo much... Did you miss me? Yes? Did you miss me?" He cooed at Max lovingly, prompting the small bundle of joy to let go of his toy and licked his face excessively. Of course, without forgetting to wag his tail while at it. Such a cute little pup.
"Good Merlin..." Madam Pompfrey sighed. "Thought I lost him somewhere."
"Madam Pompfrey, where have you been?" He asked in bewilderment as he see the thick coat that the matron have fashioned. He personally have never seen her in such coats before, so that definitely came as a shock for him.
"Where have I been? I got nothing to do!" The matron exclaimed as she walks into her office. "So I figured, why not taking Max out for a bit?"
Hearing this, Rey turned towards Max. The little puppy already got his toy back and putting it down before Rey. Rey squished the toy for a bit, prompting a sharp squeaking sound to emanate from it. Hearing this, Max barked loudly and wagged his tail. Rey thrw the toy away, prompting Max to chase it.
"I swear to Merlin, he never let go of his toy for once when we walked around the castle." Madam Pompfrey said as Max returned towards him with the toy in his mouth. Long story short, Rey threw the toy again.
"Ain't he a cut-" Rey was suddenly cut off by someone calling for Madam Pompfrey.
When the two of them turned around, they could see a fifth-year Ravenclaw standing limply at the door way. Madam Pompfrey didn't waste any time to fuss over her.
"I feel a bit dizzy..." The fifth-year groaned before shivering, "and incredibly cold."
"All right then, I think we should get you laid down for a bit." Madam Pompfrey lead the Ravenclaw into a bed far back, before going into her office to take some medicine. Poor Max was totally bamboozled as to why Madam Pompfrey would walk so fast around him. He quickly hid in Rey's arm.
