Chapter 6

Sarina walked away for Harry, Hermione, and Ron, so she wouldn't be questioned any longer. She didn't know if she wanted to apologize to Snape or just not speak to him. Sarina decided not to talk to Severus, just to see what he would do.

She looked around and saw Minerva, the Transfiguration professor.

Minerva said, "I know Severus was going to show you to your office, but I don't think he will." She smiled and continued, " I'll show you. Your stuff is already in your office, and Sophie is having a guided tour with Crookshanks, Hermione's cat"

Sarina grinned and said, "I guess Sophie will know this place better than I do"

"I highly doubt that, Sarina"

Minerva showed her where her classroom was, as she led Sarina to her office. Sarina's office was small, but cozy. In the back of the room was a statue of a sizeable, wolfish dog with sea green emeralds for eyes. Sarina stared at it for a bit, until she realized what it reminded her of.

Then the other Professor spoke, "I see that you have found the entrance to your chambers. I think you will know the password of the top of your head. Professor Dumbledore wouldn't tell me what it was, but he believes that you will know the password."

She did know what it was, off the top of her head, but she didn't say what it was. Then Sarina's eyes filled up with tears, against her will and her better judgment. Her password was more of a personal thing.

The Minerva saw and understood, "I'll go now, and leave you alone."

Sarina nodded, while Minerva sympathetically closed the office door behind her as she left. The professor leaned against a wall and slid down it, to the floor. There Sarina sat for a while, just thinking. ~How does Albus know? And why did he pick that for my password? I guess he knew that no one would ever guess that password. ~ After those thoughts, she shook her head. Sarina knew she could brood over this whenever she wanted too, but now Sarina had to unpack her belongings.

Sarina stood up and walked over to the dog statue. She muttered her password to it, and to her amazement, the statue came to life, and it moved aside. As Sarina went through the archway, she saw that her chambers were nice and roomy. She had a bathroom, a living room, and a bedroom. When Sarina went into her bedroom had a red four-poster bed, an oak bedside table, an oak wardrobe, an oak desk and chair, and a huge bookcase full of books of all kinds. Her trunk was at the foot of her bed with the owl cage on top of it.

Now, all she had to do was unpack her stuff. She opened her trunk, took out her clothes, and hung them up in her new wardrobe. After that, Sarina took out her books and placed those on her bookshelf. The she went into a smaller compartment in her trunk, and grabbed a small bundle of letters tied with a scarlet red ribbon.

These were some of her letters that she had gotten from her friends after she had left Hogwarts. Sarina could never left home without them. She knew it was ludicrous to keep them, but whenever she was feeling sad she read a few to cheer herself up again. Sarina placed them in her desk.

Now she could relax a bit. So Sarina flopped onto her bed, and just as she closed her eyes she heard a faint knock on her office door. Sarina got off her bed with a groan, and walked into her hall. From there, she whined as Sarina went over to her office entrance. When she got to it, Sarina somehow strolled into her office and opened the door.

^^^^^He he he, I'm leaving you on a cliffhanger (again?). ^^^^^^^^
