Sileas sat awaiting Dumbledore in his office. She already knew that this would go badly for her, all because she was nervous. And Sileas didn't exactly cover it up well. She'd stutter and make a fool of herself. Which wasn't new for her, she was always afraid that she would.

Suddenly she heard a voice behind her "Ah, you must be Sileas". Dumbledore stood, examining her slightly. He smiled at her, taking away any nervousness she had at once. "You haven't changed at all" he spoke while he took a seat. "So.. What can I do for you?" She bit her lip slightly. "I. I anted to know if any of your professor's could use an assistant". She spoke quietly, but clearly. There was a silent pause. Dumbledore looking at her, and she at him. "Well" he thought about what he would say next, "I'm sure that if you go around, that you will find one. The professor's have a lot of papers to mark by now. I can not think of any off hand but I'm sure that at least one of them will". She smiled and stood up politely. "Thank you so much". She then turned and left the room.



Sileas walked around the dark hallways of the school. It seemed to be cold and too quiet. She decided that she should befriend a teacher or, at least, a student. After awhile of searching the empty hallways, she walked onto the grounds. Quickly she realized that it was far to cold to be out. She found a dark tower and decided to try the doors. To her luck, it was unlocked.

She walked up the stairs to see a red haired man sitting at a desk. His shirt half unbuttoned, a tie sitting on the desk. She thought that he was hansom but kept it to herself. She smiled slightly, although he was unaware that she stood before him. She looked quickly at the other person in the room and knocked on the door. Immediately all eyes were on her. "He.Hey.umm." Now he'll think i'm an idiot she thought. Sileas felt her cheeks go a bright shade of red. "D..do you m..mind if I" She was stuck on the word. Great ,she thought to herself, he now knows that I stutter like an idiot. She shook her head and closed her eyes. It was as if all her troubles went away. "I wanted to know if I could sit here and sketch. You have a great view from here". She spoke quietly, while hoping that she had her sketchbook in her bag. The man smiled a hello and told her that she could stay as long as she liked.

Immediately, sileas went through her bag, she pushed past her scarf and books. She then felt her book and began to sketch rapidly. Finally she wasn't the one being stared at. Finally, their woman's and the professor's had started up again. It was 30 minutes later that she realized that she hadn't spoken more then 2 words since she had entered the room. She looked up from her sketchpad and sat silently.

The red haired man turned to look at her. "What are you drawing". He said simply. She looked up, partially afraid that she would make more of a fool of herself. "Just an owl I saw in the forbidden forest today" she grinned to herself . A perfect chance to introduce myself! "How rude of me. I'm Sileas". The red haired man smiled slightly "I'm professor Rave Almar". She thought about what to say next "It's nice to meet you" she said quietly and went back to sketching. She couldn't help overhearing the conversation. The woman in the room had cancer and knew that she was dying. Sileas didn't want to hear this. Never again did she want to become close to someone with this horrible disease again. She stood up , and grabbed her things, knowing that once again, all eyes were on her.
