The Marauders Next Gen - yr 2

Chapter 7

The three marauders followed the professor into his office. None of them spoke on the way there, but they had all wondered the same thing. What was this about. They couldn't have been in trouble, because the last prank they pulled was about 2 weeks ago (and they hadn't even been caught!).

"Now ladies, your probably wondering why I've called you in here." He asks taking a seat behind his desk and than gesturing for them to sit down.  He waits for the girls to nod before continuing.

"I know that you were quit close to Stella, and that her leaving must hurt you all very deeply."

The girls look between each other with confused look's on their faces.

"Yeah I guess." Emily answers, shifting uncomfortably in her seat.

"Well I just want you girls to know, that if you ever need to talk to anyone, about anything I am here." Their Professor said touching his chest as he said it.

After excusing their selves the girls meet up in the Gryffondor common room.

"What the actual hell was that!?" Shelby exclaimed plopping down in one of the large armchairs near the fire.

"I really don't know." Eathen answers sitting down next to Ella. The girls give him a look that says 'you weren't even there'.

"Professor Riddle, wants to be our shrink!" Ella tells the twins who had now joined them. They didn't talk much after that, instead Ella and Shelby headed back to the Hufflepuff dorm, to finish homework and sleep, a rarity for them to do.

The week had gone slowly for Stella. She had gotten some money working down in the shop with her dad. Every now and than, he would leave early in the morning and not come back until late at night. Leaving Stella to look after the shop, she didn't mind though. It gave her time to snoop. Too bad she couldn't do any magic. There was this one room up in there house, which was located above the shop, that was always locked. Her dad had told her it was just a store room, and that she didn't need to worry about it. But she swore she could hear voices coming from it at night, some of them more familiar than others.

It wasn't until one night while her dad was out on 'business that she decided to check it out. 

She made her way to the make shift room she had been living in during her stay, she walked over to the small cupboard and mirror she had and pulled a bobby  pin out of her overnight bag. She crept over to the old door, even though nobody else was home, she still felt the need to be quiet. It only took  a few try's before she heard that satisfying click. 

'It's times like this that i am glad i was raised by muggles!' She thought to herself as she stood up and push the door. It gave a rather loud creak as it moved.

Stella didn't know what to expect, but this, what was right in front of her defiantly wasn't it.
