More importantly, why would she leave Millie? Her eyes widened a little when she saw the girl looking at her as if she might have had some kind of answer. Well she didn't. Not an accurate one anyway. "The way I see it, she ran off...maybe she saw something and went after it?" But really she was thinking something snatched the dog and hauled it off. See? Made no sense.
What the girl was saying made some amount of sense. "I guess you're right." She'd only been here for something under a year but the school was very consistent. Something she appreciated when you considered all the changes in her house since she left.
"Oh I don't have any sibl--" She stopped suddenly, remembering the shock that had greeted her when she went home during her suspension and the owl she gotten over the Christmas. Her face dropped a bit. "No...he's one of my bestfriends... he couldn't come here though 'cause he's a muggle." And Will never let him forget that whenever the three hung out together. Sigh.
Minerva agreed,
"Yes maybe Pepper saw something and went after it. I don't think she would have just left to leave. She is a smart dog though, so hopefully if she did get out she will be back soon." Looking at Millie she pet the wombat,
"I wish you could just tell me where your friend went, it would be easier." Looking at the fence she frowned,
"Maybe we really should go looking for her or Mr. Gibbins. Maybe we could just take Millie with us so she's not alone." She knew they shouldn't take Millie out of the play area, but Mr. Gibbin's couldn't be upset if they were doing it for Millie's safety or well being, right?
Minerva picked up on something was wrong and looked at her first year friend concerned.
"Alexa are you alright? You know if you need to talk about anything I'm always around. I have had enough family issues of my own the last few years. So I get it.." Then she talked about a best friend and Min smiled.
"Well that's nice that you have a muggle best friend. When I lived with my parents before here, we moved so much that I never really got to know people. So didn't really have many friends." She looked at the ground a bit and then back up,
"So when I go back to the States it's just myself and my grandparents for the entire summer." Not that she minded her grandparents, but it would be nice to be around some people her own age.
