Dorian turned his attention away from his fellow students as they were speculating what was going on and looked over at the Headmaster as he made his speech. Hogwarts never seemed to catch a break, did it? When it wasn't monsters attacking the school it were horrible professors like last year. Still, the words "dearly missed" that the man spoke made him realise the seriousness of the situation and he stood more upright, making sure that he got all the information about what was going on.

Hands in his robe pockets, Dorian's mind went to Ammonite, his purple toad who was still in the Ravenclaw Dormitory and he widened his eyes and he looked up at the tower where his common room was. He hoped nothing was going to happen to his pet.

The fifth year had not come in contact with the thing that killed Dopple since the feast as Daisy had said, although he has seen something pink and fluffy in the corner of his eyes when he walked to classes but he had never bothered to investigate.

A sudden, tight grasp around his arm made shriek out loud. Tension was already high and for a second he thought that whatever creature they were talking had grabbed him but as he looked he saw that it was just Abra "Dude, you scared me" he said as he tried to move his arm free.
