Hogsmeade | Help a Friend

Minix had stayed in the room and began to look at what kind of books it was there for her lady as Lucinda herself tried to make her way in the castle to the Bell Tower. But by her luck when she just got there, she saw Professor Mole talking to a Gryffindor student. His hair was short ginger red, and the freckles weren't hard to see same with his green eyes and frustrated body language

" He must be in trouble with Professor Mole, already in the first week, I wonder what he has done?"

She tried to pass by unseen, tipping almost on her toes with light feet and holding her breath but to no use when Ms Mole stopped her on her way to just open the door and get out to the Bell Towers courtyard.

"Miss Khain, may I know where you are going this evening? "

Her attention was on Lucinda but she did hold an eye on the other student.

Lucinda turned slowly and met eyes with a kind of calm and absolutely frustrated Headmistress.

"Hogsmeade, Professor Mole..."Lucinda kept saying that she needed much more supplies than she thought and wanted to be done with it.

Professor Mole listened to every word Lucinda said to her, even when she noticed the boy was trying to sneak away and stopped him by using Leviosa on the boy and made him float on one spot and stay put as the boy was doing his best to find a way to get down, This scene made Lucinda have a hard time to keep herself from laughing but it just came out small giggles as she is really tired to not smile.

"Well Miss Khain as you see so am I busy at the moment here with Mr. Weasley, but maybe Mr Sallow can accompany you and his Sister too. Both of them grow up around here after all."

Lucinda nodded and turned around to look after the twins, she knew that if she tried to leave by herself, so would Professor Mole for sure tell her Brother, and he or someone would disapprove of that.

So she turned around and began to look after them in the Slytherin's common room, then in the library where she met Rubeus, when she was looking around he slowly walked up beside her with his hands held back with a kind smile.

"You look a bit lost"

"Rubeus? Hi, and yes I'm trying to find my friends. I need to ask them for something."

Lucinda looked up at him with the same gentle smile she had when he helped her last time.

"Maybe I can help, who are they?"

"Oh, it's the Sallow siblings and Ominis Gaunt from the first year."

"Ah, the blind boy and his friends, I saw the sister on her way to the beasts and helped a Hufflepuff student by the name of Poppy, and the boys were on their way to the Transfigurations courtyard."

Lucinda looked up at him surprised as she tilted her head.

"You seem to know a lot about the school"

"What can I say, if you want to be sure of who you can trust so do you need to hold an open mind and sense" he shrugged once before one of his friends called for him.

"Well it was nice to see you again Lucinda, hope you will find them."

"Thank you again, Rubeus."

He smiled back at her before leaving her there and she could begin to make her way to the Transfigurations courtyard which was also the next class they were about to have.

When she went out to the Transfiguration courtyard, she found Ominis standing by himself and reading the book they had for the day class, A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration.
