They followed McGonagall in silence, the only sound the clicking of Gabrielles heels on the stone floor. "Where exactly are we?" Mandy whispered. Gabrielle shrugged. The castle seemed like an endless maze and they turned around so many corners that Mandy felt her head would fall off, she would never be able to find her way around by herself.
They came to a stand still as McGonagall stopped abruptly in front of a gargoyle statue. "Password?" it asked. "Sherbert Lemon" McGonagall said and the gargoyle stepped aside revealing a moving spiral staircase. The four of them stepped on one at a time.
McGonagall opened the door at the top to reveal a circular office that was empty. "Take a seat" she ordered and conjured up three straight back chairs. They all sat down and the Professor left the room.
"She couldn't have conjured something a little more comfy?" Gabby complained. Mandy nodded in agreement and shifted uncomfortably in the hard chair. Peter was nervous and fidgety. Mandy turned to Gabrielle. "He's obviously never been in here before, or the Head Master must be really scary." she said. Gabrielle grinned.
They sat in the office for quite some time before McGonagall entered followed by a wizard with a long silvery beard. The old wizard sat down in the squishy chair on the other side of the desk and folded his hands.
'Of course he gets the comfy chair,' Mandy thought to herself while rolling her eyes.
The old man smiled at the three of them and adjusted his half-moon spectacles. "Mr. Pettigrew, would you mind telling me exactly what occured to make you end up in my office?" he asked kindly.
Peter bit his lip and nodded. " I was trying to turn a goblet into a portkey Head Master, like I was told, and then these two appeared out of nowhere," he said simply. "And then McGonagall sent us here." "Professor McGonagall," the old man corrected him.
He sighed and turned to the two girls. "And I should like to hear your side of this story," he said, looking over at Gabrielle.
