"But...Hogwarts is supposed to be one of the safest places, right?" Quinn countered. From outside threats at least. "I don't think they can get to me here..." She glanced from Beth to Ewan, the worry she might be wrong clear on her face. Quinn shook her head to clear her thoughts. "We haven't been able to come up with anything. We need help. I need the help. And he's muggleborn, so I think he's safe."
Finally Quinn turned to answer Ewan's questions. She hesitated slightly, eyes nervously glancing around. "I...I don't know for sure. I mean, all I have to go on is that poster, but none of the details lined up, you know? It was my photo, but the name given wasn't mine. Serafina Pekkala, that was the name listed. And the birthdate was in October and not May. And the parents' names listed weren't my parents." She took a deep breath, trying to visibly calm down some, and glanced nervously around.
As she began to talk again, her eyes seemed to lock onto a small spot on the stone floor of the library, and fixate there. "I don't know why they kept the poster, but I'm not sure they intended too. It was with a bunch of other stuff in the attic that they never get around to going though, but Beth and I have discussed that a lot, and the best idea we've come up with is maybe it appeared in Chelsea, and my parents took it down before anyone that knew us could see, and took it home to get rid of it...but maybe something was going on, I don't know...and they couldn't get rid of it for good just then, so it got shoved with a lot of other things that no one ever looks through, and then eventually wound up in the attic, forgotten?"
Finally Quinn looked up, first at Beth, and then to Ewan pleading. "I just...I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to do? Do I just pretend I never saw it and try to keep going same as always? What?"
