Oh, but she's right here now isn't she?" he commented and handed the letter Professor Shackleton. Professor Shackleton accepted the letter, reading it wide-eyed. To the poor Hufflepuff, she sympathized, "My goodness, dear, I'm so very very sorry for your loss. If you need to talk about this, or just need a shoulder to cry on, you are always welcome in my office. I will help you through this difficult time any way I can." Quote:

It's just, the only family I have are my dad's parents, and they're muggles. I mean, they love me and everything, but they don't quite understand about magic. And I've been looking forward to coming to Hogwarts so long, and I want to learn about everything I can because..." Cadence began to cry again, despite her efforts to hold back the tears "What if whoever killed my parents is after me too?" Professor Shackleton conjured a tissue and handed it to the girl, then clasped a comforting hand on her shoulder. She didn't know how to reply to the poor child, and even if she did, it was the Headmaster's decision what happened to the students of Hogwarts in situations as serious as these. She would assist the Headmaster in any way he asked, but she wouldn't speak until that point, for fear of stepping on his toes.
