Bracing herself, she pulled herself into the tunnel after Kitty with Sabboe's help. She held onto his hand a second or two longer than she needed to once she was inside the tunnel. He was her rock, of course. She charmed her wand with "lumos" again as she followed Kitty down the tunnel, trying to keep her thoughts light and not to think about how similar the dampness of the stone walls and the darkness was eerily close to the dungeons.
"Can you see anything ahead of you Kitty??" Noelle asked, keeping her voice at a very calm level, to make sure No one knew she was scared. But she was. Goosebumps lit her arms in wait of someone to reach out and grab her in the darkness.
She shouldn't have done this. It's too soon. But there was no turning back now. And she didn't want anyone thinking she was weak.
Hope grabbed Noelle's hand as she entered the tunnel. She thanked Sabbath for his help and tried to look at the light flickering off the stone wall. She couldn't see a thing. Getting her wand out too, she muttered "lumos". Her wand lite up the tunnel a little better. It didn't look like there was anything ahead of them.
She noticed that Noelle's arm was now covered in goosebumps. She patted her cousin's hand, hoping that she got the message that she was behind her all the way! Literally. And Kitty had her front. Even if they had only just met. And of course Sabbath and all his manliness was with them too.
When Sabbath had asked about Professor Black Hope waited for Kitty to answer. She of course knew. Maybe she should enlighten them? Or maybe not.. It wasn't a story that Noelle and Sabbath needed to hear right now.
"Professor Black is just a rumor. Nothing important." She was hoping that they wouldn't get too curious. If Kitty told them who she was, or who she was rumored to be they wouldn't be doing this.
