Madame Pomfrey released me from the hospital, telling me to keep drinking water and if anything weird starts happening, try to find someone so I'm not alone. Or to head her way immediately.
I head back to my chamber to throw some clean clothes on. Opting for black pants and a shirt, and a red cardigan to go overtop. I keep the same ankle boots I wore yesterday and I walk back out and head for Minervas office. I need answers, like what book I was looking for last night. Who took me to the infirmary. And why Snape was there of all people.
I make the long walk up the stairs and down the long corridors before getting to her office, I noticed on my way here there weren't really any students in the halls. I go to knock on her door, but someone stops me from behind.
"She ain't here." I turn and see it's Filtch, a greasy old man who works in the castle.
"Do you know where she is?"
"Out in Hogsmeade with students." He says grumpily.
"Do you know when she'll be back?"
"..No." That's when he walks away, his cat following closely behind him.
Great. Who else can I talk to? I could always go to Dumbledore, but I don't know if he's busy. Or even here.
I decide to head to his office, remembering when Minerva pointed it out to me when she showed me to my chamber. The walk is long, a lot of weeving through hallways, navigating the moving staircase, having paintings talk to you as you walk by. One even catcalled me, but I ignored it. I have more important things to worry about right now, like what the hell is up with the restricted section and why was I drawn to it last night.
I see the large golden statue, the entrance to Dumbledore's office. But, the only problem was, where were the stairs? I know there were stairs when we walked by this the other night, so why aren't they here now? Peeking into the little area, it's just a big hole going straight up to his office.
"Is there a button or.." I mutter to myself, trailing off as I look along the walls next to the statue, hoping to see something that'll be helpful. Finding nothing, I let out a puff of air. I'm about to give up and just head back to my chamber, when I realize something.
"Duh." I lightly smack my head and chuckle, before walking back to the statue and using my powers to fly up to the door. I land on the platform, proud of myself for thinking of that. I dust my clothes off and knock on the door.
I hear a faint come in, and I open the door and step inside. The room is marvelous, it's filled with odd trinkets and collectibles. There's several paintings hanging up, they must've been important people to Dumbledore if they're hanging up in his office.
Remembering why I'm here, I walk further into the dim lit room. I look around for Dumbledore, seeing him nowhere, I begin to believe I imagined someone saying come in. But I hear a new voice from behind me.
"Well, well. If it isn't Ms. Natalia Maximoff, I've been hearing much about you. Dumbledore speaks very highly of your, talents."
I look around for a person, turning in circles to see if someone is hiding somewhere, or just standing in a spot I didn't see before. But I see no one.
"Over here." The voice says, but I still don't see anyone.
"Where?" I finally ask, still looking for the man.
"I'm the large hat sitting on the shelf, now stop wandering and come closer." I look up on top of the shelves, seeing a tatty old hat perched on the edge. I don't believe it's actually a hat talking, until I see the front of it form a face. And move.
