The Great Hall felt strange that evening
Not quiet - Hogwarts was never truly quiet - but different.
The usual roar of conversation had been replaced by hundreds of smaller voices, whispering.
Amy felt it the second she walked through the doors.
The atmosphere.
The way people leaned together in groups.
The way the teachers seemed more watchful than normal.
Beside her, Theo pulled out a seat for her automatically before dropping into the one next to her. Across the table, Mattheo sat beside Iris, who was already looking around the Hall trying to figure out what the whispering was about.
"What happened?" Blaise asked eventually, stealing a bread roll off someone's plate.
A younger Slytherin further down the table immediately looked up.
"My brother was there."
That got everyone's attention
The boy sat up a little straighter, clearly enjoying having information no one else had.
"It was Katie Bell."
Amy's heart stopped. Not figuratively. It genuinely felt as though it forgot how to beat for a second. Then it slammed painfully against her ribs.
She tried to not let her face reflect this.
"The chaser?" Iris frowned
"Yeah."
The knot in Amy's stomach tightened. She felt a hand placed over hers and she didn't need to look to know whose it was.
"Apparently she got cursed."
Her heart fell further down.
"How?" Enzo asked
"Nobody knows exactly. My brother said she found a necklace or something."
Amy was convinced she would stand up and her heart would be on the floor. She picked up her goblet to give her something to do to try and hide the fear.
Around her, people continued asking questions.
Where had she found it?
How badly was she hurt?
Was she still in the hospital wing?
Then -
"Apparently all she did was touch it."
Amy froze and her hand tightened around the goblet.
The words seemed to cut through every other sound in the room.
The Great Hall disappeared.
The conversations disappeared.
Even the people around her disappeared.
Touched it
Her heartbeat stuttered then started hammering.
The bathroom flashed into her mind immediately.
Katie standing infront of her. Blank eyes. Still shoulders. Waiting patiently for her instructions. Amy reached into her pocket. Taking out the package.
You're going to take this and you're going to give it to Professor Dumbledore.
That was all she said.
That was all she said....
A horrible coldness spread through her body. Because she remembered every word. Every single word.
