Smiling politely at a group of nervous looking first years, Violet quickly strode up the staircase. Normally she would have stopped to check that they were fine but her mind was someplace else.

Sirius hadn't turned up to the Great Hall.

The Ravenclaw had spent her dinner staring at the huge oak doors, waiting for Sirius to stroll in simply late. However he didn't. Her vegetable soup had grown cold, appetite lost. She couldn't shake the feeling she had upset him somehow.
