Chapter 10.
Francheska wasted the days randomly walking around Hogwarts and its grounds, the lake becoming her favorite place, apart
from the Quidditch pitch of course.
Dumbledore was insisting upon keeping her at school and she was becoming rather lonely. Professor McGonagall had taken
her to Ollivanders' to get her a wand she hadn't seen any other part of Diagon Alley, headmasters' orders. She was glad she
had a wand now, she finally felt a apart of the world in which she now belonged. The aged woman gave the lonely teenager a
few simple books to read as she was 5 years behind everyone else on her magical education.
It had been 3 weeks since term had ended and the teachers were all starting to give her lessons, including Snape. She had
heard about him from the twins and didn't really like the realm thing either. Though she must have been good because he
kept muttering things like 'Just like your mother.' And 'At least you've got your mothers brain.'
Luke had owled her saying he had to go to France to visit his mothers family for a while and he didn't know when they
would be back, but maybe they could meet up at Diagon Alley. This had sunk her mood most of all. She'd been looking
forward to going to the Burrow.
Dumbledore found her in the library one afternoon, where she was reading a thick volume on Potions. She finally noticed the
professor looking at her with an amused expression on his face.
'Oh sorry Professor.'
'That's quite alright my dear. It's a wonderful surprise to actually see someone willingly reading a potions' book.'
'Well, I do need to catch up.'
'Indeed, indeed. Tomorrow the teacher do come home and I need to visit a few places, so I'm afraid you will be needing to
come with me if that's alright. If you could come up to my office at 8:00am. Try and get a good night sleep, you'll need the
rest.'
Without saying another word the Headmaster left a very confused girl behind him.
