 Mischievous Niffler
Kitty left the castle and began wandering outside, her mind restless. What was she going to tell the Headmaster? At first she had been so angry at Miffy (who she blamed for making a mess in her dormitory) that she had been determined to complain to the new headmaster and ask him to punish Miffy. It seemed like a good idea at the time. But when she was halfway there her shyness around unfamiliar grown ups came rushing back to her. She still wanted to tell him, but she had to find a way to do it that would not be embarrassing later, and she couldn't make it seem as if she were ORDERING him to punish Miffy. That would just get her in trouble. But at the same time she didn't want to sound as if she were whining. No, she wanted him to see that her indignation was righteous and that she had been suffering at hands of Peeves and Miffy for a long time and was now asking help.
Oh, and she had to be in uniform of course and wearing her best makeup. Couldn't let him see her without it. Taking out her hand mirror, Kitty sat down and began applying eyeliner. She was outside in the courtyard.
Then, in the mirror's reflections, she saw it. A mysterious green glow coming from the forest. It was beautiful. Her anger went away. In its place was peace.
She dropped her eyeliner. Then the mirror. It fell, smashing into pieces on the ground. That was okay.
Kitty turned around and began heading towards the forest. Vaguely, she was aware that the forest scared her - that that was where the Hag had run off to and that she still had nightmares about it.
And then the music began... |
