 Mischievous Niffler
Alice had been doing an extra patrol that morning. That explained her absence at the breakfast table, but what explained her reasoning for patrolling so early in the morning. The answer to that question was the same answer to the question of what had eaten the Slytherin table. Now here she was, and it was clear that she had been looking in the wrong places and at the wrong times.
"Oh, we know what did this," she said, interjecting herself into the conversation with Kay, Kassandra, and the screaming student.. She pointed at the spot where the table should have been. "Looks like the creatures who ate my desk and who ate poor Professor Dopple were back for more last night. These things won't stop until we catch them."
Curse these unruly beasts! How was Alice supposed to catch them if they came out only when she was sleeping?! |
