Rebecca, Albus, and Isabelle went to the Headmaster's office. Rebecca suggested this because she didn't trust any other professor to take her seriously. Perhaps Professor Scammander, but he didn't have much authority here to do anything.
Rebecca led them to the office, found it, and Rebecca did the exact same knock Professor Stetson had done before. Whether or not it would work, Rebecca wasn't sure, but she heard a click behind it and she pushed it open.
Professor Fontaine sat his desk. He seemed surprised to see them.
"Well, hello there Miss Warren, Miss Warren, and Mr. Potter." He said humorously. "What brings you here today? Not to complain about an unfair exam are you?"
"No, sir." Albus said. Rebecca decided to let him do the talking. "We were attacked by the forest."
"Attacked you say?" Professor Fontain raised an eyebrow. "By whom?"
"It was Delphi Lestrange." Albus said. "She took Isabelle here and put a knife to her neck and then we disarmed her and Rebecca chased her through the forest, but Delphi escaped."
"Ah, I see. Well, Mr. Potter, it just so happens that one of the pukwudgies had found a body that seems to be Lestrange."
Rebecca's heart began to beat fast. They already found her? Rebecca wondered what could have happened if they lingered around any longer.
"Body?" Albus asked. "So she's dead?"
"They found her body laying against a rock I believe. MACUSA officials are on their way to examine the body as we speak." Professor Fontaine said.
"What are they going to do?" Rebecca asked.
"They'll try to identify the body and determine the cause of death." Professor Fontaine said. "If you ask me, if it is Lestrange, good riddance."
"So that Delphi woman is dead?" Isabelle squeaked.
"Yes, it would seem." Professor Fontaine said. "Do not worry. I won't tell MACUSA you were there because that could mean expulsion for you, Miss Warren."
"What do you mean?" Rebecca asked quickly.
"With all the trouble you have been in this year, the last thing that you need is to be accused of murder." Professor Fontaine said. "But I ask you all not to mention it to anyone either."
They all nodded and Professor Fontaine dismissed them. Rebecca and Albus both looked at one another, Albus in shock, Rebecca pretending to be.
"I can't believe she's dead." Albus said. "I mean... Wow..."
"I know." Rebecca agreed. "Well, I think I'm going to go lay down for a bit. See you at the feast tomorrow?"
"Sure thing." He kissed her on the cheek and they separated down different paths.
"Come on, Issy. I'll walk you back to your common room." Rebecca said and they left.
Isabelle was quiet, which was unusual for her. She was still afraid. Rebecca knew it would take some time for her to regain her normal self, or as normal as she could be. Rebecca thought for a moment back in the forest that Isabelle was... Well, Rebecca had to do something to make sure it didn't happen.
"Are you ready to go back to see Kate?" Rebecca asked her.
"I guess." Isabelle said.
"I know she'll be happy to see us again, especially you." Rebecca said.
"What do you think happened to Delphi?" Isabelle asked.
"I don't know." Rebecca said, trying to sound casual. "Maybe a hidebehind got her?"
