Caroline sat in absolute silence and stared at Professor Dumbledore.
"Well Caroline," said Dumbledore with a slight look of apprehension on his face " I am afraid I must decide where you will go."
"That is fine" said Caroline.
"Well, Caroline. Judging by your overall disposition and your marks I believe that you will fit in well in Gryffindor. They are generally open to newcomers and are incredibly nice. I feel that you will find it sufficient for the remainder of your stay at Hogwarts. Of course, if it causes any problems, I can move you" finished Dumbledore apprehensively.
"Of course" said Caroline, sadly, with an appreciative tone. "I thank you very much for doing this for my father, Albus" said Caroline fondly "I know that he will truly appreciate your understanding, considering the situation we are in, that all of us are in now."
"I agree my dear, but I do have a bone to pick with you concerning a certain young gentleman who belongs to Gryffindor" said Dumbledore, his eyes twinkling. "I believe, as many of the other professors believe, that you and Mr. Potter have a bit of a kinship or perhaps a strong and I mean very strong attraction for each other, though you may not have acknowledged it as of this moment. I assume you have used your powers to decide whether to switch dormitories. Has there been any thing I need to know of, that you have seen in your readings or perhaps your premonitions?" said Dumbledore.
Caroline began to wonder if he knew anything about her premonition. She was not going to tell him anything about that, it might get back to her father and that would be most embarrassing for her as well as for Harry.
"Well, professor" said Caroline happily "I have seen, in one of my closest readings, a cat and a lightning bolt, which I have deciphered to mean Harry Potter and Professor McGonagall, hence, they are most definitely going to be influential some time soon, I think" said Caroline with a seductive smile. " I don't mind in the least, though" said Caroline.
"Certainly my dear. I see great things for you in the future and according to my readings of the signs, you and Mr. Potter will share something truly special. I must bid you adieu, my dear. If you will, you may stay here tonight and in the morning I will announce your switch".
