Chapter 4.
One week had passed and Cecile hadn't turned up in any lessons, nor had she been seen in the common room, or great hall. Where was she?
Hermione suggested talking to Dumbledore about this, as it was rather weird, and nobody else had seemed to notice. Harry and Ron agreed so later that day the trio headed to the headmasters office.
They knocked, waiting patiently for an answer, the door suddenly swung open.
Cecile Dingle stormed out of the door, looking very angry indeed, and pushed passed Hermione.
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL WAS THAT ABOUT?" Shouted Ron.
"How may I help you three?" Dumbledore asked, now at his office door.
He looked upset.
They had never seen the headmaster upset before.
They looked awkwardly at each other, "oh it doesn't matter sir" Hermione said, sheepishly.
They all turned at once and hurried back to the common room.
They sat for several hours discussing where Cecile had been, why she was so angry coming from the headmasters office, and why Dumbledore looked so upset.
After a couple hours of talking up many, many reasons, Harry and Ron decided it was time for bed. They rose from their comfy arm chairs and turned towards their dorms.
Sat in the couch by the fireplaces was Cecile. How long had she been there? They didn't see anybody come in while they were talking. How much had she heard? They turned around and glared at Hermione, pointing sneakily towards the couch on which Cecile was sat.
"What are you pointing at?" Hermione asked, looking worried, and confused.
Harry and Ron turned again, seeing the empty common room, they both slumped back into their armchairs.
WHAT was going on? She had just sneaked off in the matter of seconds?
They were starting to get incredibly nervous about this girl.
They all agreed to go and speak to Hagrid the following day.
Surely he would know how to handle this?
