Antwone was about to get up from his seat and start singing to the gargoyle for entrance we he saw the Headmistress walking towards him from behind the door that lead to the grand staircase. When the Headmistress sat herself down next to him and asked if he'd like privacy he looked to around the ostensibly deserted corridor.
"No, I'm sure this will do, Headmistress," he said to her as he turned his head from the corridor. Before he began to speak again he looked about the Headmistress to see her smiling at him, making he feel more at ease at his ignorance of the case which he wanted to speak to her. "You see ma'am . . . I never knew about this Dark Lord until I read Hogwarts, A History. My father never told me and me mum's a Muggle so if he didn't have the capacity to tell me I'm sure he didn't tell her so I had no clue about him. I've already sent him a letter questioning why it is he never told but . . ." he realized he was explaining his ignorance moreso then asking the questions that he wanted to ask previously. "Ma'am, I was wonder, where he come from, his motives? I mean, is he anything like You-Know-Who? Does he have a group of death eaters like he? And also . . ." He was dreading what he was to say next, he didn't even looke the Headmistress in the eye. "Are we safe here at Hogwarts? In Hogwarts, A History I read that students have been killed by him through the Unforgivable Curse and that . . . he killed your --," Antwone cold not countinue, his face rushed over with a heat of red through his cheeks and forhead. What he meant to say is that he knew that the Dark Lord had murdered the Headmistress's spouse and he was not sure how much it would have hurt if he were to bring him up. Quickly, Antwone start fiddling with his hands, enthralled by the wrinkles on his skin.
