"So what? He's just roaming the castle now?" Elle asked un between bites of her breakfast.
"Yeah I guess so, I mean they had us sleep on the floor of the great hall so it probably wasn't safe in the tower" Katie explained to her.
"Heard some students say that he's after Harry" I supplied. This whole situation was really starting to worry me. Siruis Black is a killer, one of you know who's servants, and the mere idea of him lurking in our bedrooms gives me the chills.
Later that day, we headed to our DADA class.
"Turn to page 394" the dead voice belonging to our dear potion's professor. Snape shuts all the chatter in the class. I was confused when it hit me, yesterday was a full moon. I definitely have to check on dad at lunch. After Snape explaining that he was a substitute for my father as he is "incapable of teaching" I started wondering if Snape knows what my dad is. Dumbledore obviously knows, but what about Snape. And I got my answer when I opened my book to the assigned page; "Werewolves and Animagus" it read. Yup. He most definitely knows then. He started explaining, but I was only interested in the animagus part, partly because I knew everything about werewolves but also the word felt familiar, like I've heard it long long ago. An animagus is a human who can turn into another animal and back to human form when they chose to. I thought that was pretty cool.
After class, I checked on my dad.
"Hey how are you doing"
"Hey sweetheart, just peachy" he said with a soft smile. He was lying in his bed propped up with some pillows, a book in his lap. His eyes were sunken and his face had multiple wounds and slashes. My heart ached seeing him like that.
Once I made sure his wounds were tended for, I sat next to him.
"So what do you think of this whole situation"
"What situation"
"You know, the whole Sirius Black on the loose thingy"
The moment that name fell of my lips, my dad's entire body tensed. He cleared his throat before answering. "What about it"
"I mean it's creppy, how one of you know who's servants is free lurking around, and how he's here to finish the job and kill harry like he killed his parents, I don't get why they even kept such a monster in prison, they should've killed him in-"
"That's enough Sara!" The outburst surprised me. Why wasn't he okay with me speaking of the matter.
"I'm sorry, it's just uhm, yesterday night was alot and-and the situation is stressful as is, but I promise you everything will be alright my little moony"
I didn't buy it, my dad was hiding something from me. I considered asking him about what I heard earlier when he and Harry were on the bridge, but I decided against it. I was sure I won't get an honest answer. If he wanted to keep secrets then so be it, I'll find them out on my own.
"Alright then, I'll head to lunch, take care" I gave him a hug before heading to the main hall.
Most of the students had already finished eating, and I couldn't find Katie or Elle. I sat at the end of the table, still lost in thought as I played with the food on my plate.
"You know that's made for eating right"
Nott sat across of me. Great, just what I needed.
"I'm not in the mood Nott"
"What's up"
"None of your business"
"Oh come on it's not like I got anyone else to talk to right now, so does you. Just tell me maybe I can help"
"Seriously?" I asked, unimpressed
"I've got the charm that's for sure" Again and again with the smug smirk. Merlin do I wanna kick him face.
I just went back to playing with the food on the plate. I needed to know what dad is hiding, and whatever it is, I dont know where to start. How do those Slytherins find all the gossip possible when I can't figure what my own dad is hidin-
"Uhm wait a minute, you sure u want to help?"
"Well sulky girl, that was unexpected"
"It's just that I think a Slytherin might be perfect to help me with what I need"
"Isn't Elle like a Slytherin or..." AGAIN WITH THAT SMIRK GOSH.
"I don't wanna tell her or Katie dumbass. Not now. Honestly it might be nothing and I dont want to busy them with my possible delusions."
Part of what I said was true but I had other reasons; I didn't think they would be really comfortable knowing that I'll be snooping around my dad, Elle may be a bit less serious about it but Katie would sure chew my head off and convince me that I am imaging stuff. No matter how much I trust them, snooping is still something that needs skills, especially that Harry is somehow tied in the middle of all this, and quiet frankly Nott might be the perfect man for the job.
"Alright cupcake what's the catch"
"We're gonna dig up some secrets Nott"
