While we wait patiently in Snape's office, Samirah turns and gives me this funny look which causes me to burst out laughing.
"Samirah you're gonna get us in trouble!" I say through laughter.
Samirah is practically not breathing, "I'm sorry!!" She wheezes as she falls out of her chair which causes me to start laughing even more.
"No shot you just fell out of your chair-" I say holding my stomach from the pain of laughing.
The door swings open, "Girls!" Snape yells. Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagle
walk in as well.
"Snape you're over reacting, we didn't do anything!" I say glaring at him as Samirah gets up.
"Right, we were just lying in the grass and you started yapping." Samirah says crossing her arms.
"It's not only that, you two were running around as if you run this place! Someone could have gotten hurt and-" Snape gets cut off.
"Professor, I believe these girls have done nothing wrong and are free to go." Dumbledore says.
"Thank you professor!" I say getting up to hug Dumbledore as Samirah and I walk out giving each other the "saved by dumbledore" look.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were waiting outside the door whispering amongst themselves.
"What are you all whispering about?" I ask as Harry turns to look at me with this horrified look. My eyebrow raises as he starts to talk.
"Theres a rumor that Theodore Nott helped Voldemort kill your parents even though last time I remember Voldemort on the back of Quarrel's head." Harry says quietly.
"Then how did he help? Voldemort went missing after that night." I say as we all start walking down the hall.
"Well thats just it Aubs, that happened our first year. Who knows where the bloody bat could have gone." Ron says with a scared look.
"Look it's just a rumor, it couldn't even be true." Hermione pointed out, which was honestly very true.
"Right but most Slytherin boys are... rude?" Samirah shrugs, "I mean I have to dorm next to them."
"Right, I honestly feel bad for you on that one." I laugh a bit putting my hand on her shoulder.
"So are we all just gonna not believe the rumor until it's proven that it actually happened?" Harry asks.
I nod, "Yeah I guess, also has anyone seen my lovely brother.."
"Last time I saw him... he was with that one girl from Hufflepuff?" Ron says in a confused way as if he's making it up.
"So do I get bonus points if I act like I care?" I say jokingly as Samirah gasps.
"Oh my god! Why is it already dark out? How long have we been talking.." Samirah looks up at the sky.
Suddenly we are on the bridge which allows us to go into the forest.
"Yeah pause, how the fuck did we get here." Harry glares at us. Ron shrugs as he leans on the railing looking up at the setting sky.
"Well." I yawn, "I'm going to go attempt to find my lost brother. So I'll see you all in the morning." I give them a smile before walking off.
I walk with a fast pace as I look for Erik. I check in the usual places but theres no sign of him. I finally give up figuring that he's in another dorm or his own.
As I head for the moving staircases I'm stopped in my tracks by whispering. I quickly step back and stay behind the corner.
"I can't... breathe!" A soft voice croaks.
