"Aww come on you'll find her Minerva Dumbledores coming and he'll sure as hell find her." I heard Toms voice and I froze of course it would be McGonagall. And Dumbledore was coming to find me and meanwhile I was here crouching behind some old boxes of beer.
"I..its all my f..f..fault shes gone, If I had ju...just told her." McGonagall cried harder hugging herself. "After all she's b..b..been through I..I just ha...had to make it w...worse!" Just then the door to the bar opened and Dumbledore walked in. He rushed to McGonagall's side making the crowd disperse.
"Minerva what happened?" He asked urgently sitting in the stool next to her.
"C...Caspers g...g...gone!" She breathed trying to control her crying. "We c...c…came here and...and I wouldn't tell her about her p...p...past and she...she ran!" I could see Dumbledores worried expression as he grabbed her wrists, trying to stop her from shaking so uncontrollably.
"What did she say?" He asked looking into her eyes, his face now unreadable.
"W...well she told me that It w...was nothing and...and that she thought she c...could trust me enough to...to tell her the tru...truth, and...and that she guessed that she...she was wrong and...and letting people in does y...you no good!" McGonagall told him, her tears coming slower now and her shaking under control. Dumbledore sighed pulling her into a hug and I could see his brain whirling.
"We'll find her she couldn't have gotten far." He murmured, rubbing her back consolingly.
"W..well she has a wand." McGonagall told him and he froze.
"How do you know?" He asked sharply and she sat up rubbing her puffy red eyes.
"I..I felt everything slow down. I looked in Ollivanders b..but by the time I got there she was gone." McGonagall sniffed. I was started to stiffen up but I ignored it and sat extremely still.
"Well then my dear we don't need to look for her." He stated smiling at her confused expression.
"W..why? Don't you want to find her?" McGonagall asked taking another drink of her water.
"Minerva Casper has been here the whole time listening to our conversation." He answered looking over at my now standing figure.
"Casper!" She exclaimed running over to me only to run into nothing. She looked at me obviously hurt. "C..Casper?" She whispered putting her hand against the spot she ran into. I turned to Dumbledore like I hadn't heard her.
"What tipped you off?" I asked curiously, "I didn't move."
"No Casper my dear you didn't but your wand is filled with new magic and my wand-" He pulled out his wand for effect, "-Noticed yours." He finished seeming pleased.
"Okay well that doesn't matter I need a place to stay." I retorted sitting on one of the boxes.
"Well I'm sure Professor McGonagall would love-"
"No." I cut him off not even glancing at McGonagall. Dumbledore looked disappointed.
"Ah well I'm sure Tom has a room here you can stay in until the start of term." He answered looking at Professor McGonagall who had fresh tears rolling down her face.
"Yeah 3B is open you can take that one!" Tom yelled from across the bar, "I'll be there in a sec!"
"Good then I'm fine you can go." I told Dumbledore and took down my field to walk to the bar.
"Casper I..I'm sorry." McGonagall whispered and I heard her take a step towards me.
"Don't touch me." I spat back without looking back. Tom walked up obviously feeling very awkward and handing me a piece of parchment a quill and a key.
"Just need to sign there." He said pointing to the line on the bottom of the page. I nodded signing my name, grabbing the key and getting up.
"Casper dear you don't have to do this." Dumbledore noted looking at me and McGonagall who was rooted on the spot.
"Do what?" I asked rhetorically and walked up the stairs to my room, 3B
Authors Note- "Do what?" Casper's kinda a bitch excuse my french but... McGonagall means well but they just clash guys its not okay I NEED TO FIX THIS BUT I CAN'T BECAUSE I'M EVIL! Till next time! :)
