there was so much screaming and panic in the room that it almost felt oppressive. The headmaster’s suggestion to be careful in. the corridors simply made Grainne think. ”….Headmaster” she asked as she raised her hands ”is there a spell we can use to make doorways transparent?...so we can see if the mist is waiting for us to open the doors?” she asked because it was clear by the way they were asking that the mist seemed sentient…or at least dangerous.

She just hoped that Aine and Aoife were okay…and really, deep down the little Gryffindor even wanted Liam to be safe. Sure, she didn’t really care for her older brother because of how mean he had been to them but she cared. Deep down under all of the pranks and the animosity she cared for him.

”I hope they are okay,” she muttered to whoever was closest to her. The words were meant not only for the missing but for everyone. For her family. For the missing. And for the house elves.

Everyone needed to be okay…and maybe, just maybe she truly had a little bit of the Hufflepuff that the sorting hat had suggested to her on the first night in the castle. let everyone be okay.
