Chapter 37 - Girl's Lavatory

Chapter 37

It was very uncommon, you could say, that as Minerva watched the girl as she explains to her how she manage to sneak away. "Wand-less?" she repeats, mouth agape. 'A child, a first year girl had already... done wand-less magic? Oh Salazar, the year hasn't even end yet and she's already two steps ahead of everyone.' of course it was taking her a moment to believe that, a kid, a first year for this matter, had succeed to do years of years of practiced in a freaking day.

"Y-yes, Professor..." nodded Y/N under the intense gaze of the woman, "A-and as I walk headed to the Covered Bridge, I encounter Professor Dumbledore with... with what his name again? Cornelius Fudge I think..."

"The Minister?" she gasps and Y/N nodded.

"They headed to Hagrid's hut and I followed them there. Lucius Malfoy arrived there sooner to suspend the Headmaster and while Professor Dumbledore was very persistent of Hagrid's innocence, the Cornelius Fudge guy still took him to... Azkaban prison, wherever that is." And Y/N merely finished the story there, thinking that if she told the woman of the boys' journey to the forbidden forest –not to mention that she followed them there and almost got eaten –would give the Gryffindor some expenses that wouldn't do them good.

After all, there's still something that needed to be solved further.

Minerva sighs, looking away from the girl's innocence smile that was too perfect to question –but Minerva knew that there was something else that Y/N wasn't telling her, knowing that Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley was the one to see and brought her to the infirmary. Surely the boys were up to something as well and Minerva figures that this child had followed them to trouble.

"I will admit to you, Miss L/N, that I am greatly disappointed with you." Hearing this made Y/N's smile falter and for her to look down but Minerva tries not be affected by it. Right now, she is the Deputy of the school, not a Guardian. "Not only did you defy my orders to stay here and take a rest, but you had broken dozen of rules once again."

"I'm sorry..." mutters the girl as her hand absentmindedly clench the sheet.

'She's still a child, a child just as expert on making troubles as Harry Potter and Hermione and Weasley...combined altogether.' the thought crossed her mind, making her lips go upward just a tiny bit. Minerva, after having to sigh once more, softens her voice then when the girl was beginning to broadcast her distress on the matter. "But seeing that our Headmaster is absent, we shall wait until he's to decide to what he'll do with you."

Y/N looks up then, aback, clearly expecting more than that. Minerva is the Deputy Headmistress, surely she have the same power as the Headmaster himself, right?

Minerva's stern face return then, "Don't abuse this luxury, Miss L/N."

"N-no, I would never Professor!"

"That you won't but I will remind you that I am the Deputy Headmistress –" of course Y/N knew that and in expectation, she just lower her gaze back to the bed sheet, on her linked hand, and wait for the punishment "–so you must understand I cannot give you any other advice than you must listen to Mister Colt to what he's precisely about to share with you."

Y/N blinks in confuse, trying to progress the words. What is that suppose to mean, Y/N wonders it thoroughly, repeating and analyze the used of wording. 'Nathan? What does this have to do with Nathan?'

And as if taking his cue, the boy himself had made an appearance, a smug smile on his face and a tray of food on his hand. Minerva knew by the bemused look on the Hufflepuff's face that the girl was lost but she didn't say anything else and simply turn to leave. Though as the curtain was part, she glance over her shoulder to check on the speechless, endearing girl and as Y/N continued to stare, Minerva sends her a playful wink and disappears then with an encouragement of "Good luck you two, and remember Mister Colt, the conversation never happened."
