Wait...had someone DIED at Hogwarts? ALREADY?!

SWEET SOLSTICE WHAT?! WHY WAS MR. MCWITTY SO CALM ABOUT THIS?!

Eyes wide and practically bulging out of their sockets, he swiftly moved away from his office door and placed firm hands on Mr. McWitty's shoulder. WAS THAT THE HORRID SMELL HE HAD BEEN RECEIVING COMPLAINTS ABOUT?!

Oh sweet solstice. Ooooooooh sweet solstice.

"Mr. McWitty...tell me everything."

SERIOUS LOOKING INTO YOUR VERY SOUL KIND OF LOOKS GOING ON RIGHT NOW.
"YES, sir!" A tombstone, Merlin's travel socks, how could he forget THAT?

But he hadn't expected his head of house to be THIS upset about it, though the professor just became epic hero material in his eyes now because of it. Surely students came to him all the time about these matters? Like, pets didn't live on forever. Unless there was a potion for that? He'd have to get Marsha to read the potions book for him and find one.

"Everything?" he squeaked, eyes widening a little more. "Umm, okay? Well, I was hoping since, well... you know, I was hoping he'd be alright alone, because I've left him alone before alllllll the time, but then I went back to our dormitory and... it was really really really... really bad. Really. And the worst part is, I don't even know who did it. I mean, of course I tried to bring him back but it was baaaaad I didn't want anyone to SEE him like that, y'know? Especially after everything. It was... it was awful a-and and... awful."

He bit the inside of his cheek, eyes almost welling up from the memories.

"I just want to give him a good farewell. He was a really good friend."

No lip wibbling. Be strong!
