As it was, though, the Grey Lady wasn't very happy, and it was Anna's nature to figure out what was going on and try and help. "What was the mistake, and why do you feel horrible?" Anna asked. She couldn't imagine the Grey Lady doing something horrible to someone of something. Maybe someone else made the mistake, though.
Anna glanced down at the book she'd tossed to the stool. "Oh, I, erm...didn't notice," she mumbled. "Sorry about that." Anna picked up her book and then sat down on the stool. "I'm sure you'll find your book soon. Does the book have something to do with this mistake?" Anna glanced over to see Kayla Winters, her friend and fellow prefect. Anna narrowed her eyes when Kayla mentioned what the Far Friar had instructed her to do. Hmm...interesting.
Helena looked sadly at the child whilst shaking her head slowly. "I'm afraid that I can't say; it was our fault though; and here we thought that we knew the reason for it all. How wrong we were." She whispered.
"Perhaps." She stated simply, lowering herself from her high perch near the top of the bookshelves to be at eye level with the Gryffindor. "There must be a way to reverse it."

And he said that the last time he danced with someone they got mad at him." Kayla thought she should get the point and quickly. "I asked him why did they get mad at him and he told me to come and ask you."
She took a deep breath and looked at Miss Ravenclaw questioningly. "He would like to know how come you are mad at him for dancing with you in front of the Mirror?" There she had said it.
As the Hufflepuff spoke of the Friar's apparent distressing consequences of dancing, Helena's eyes widened in surprise. Had he told? Had he honestly confessed all? She must reach the Spirit Room at once! The ghosts must reconvene!
The young girl's next words, however, caused a change of mind quickly. With a sharp gasp, the Grey Lady spun around and began to flee towards the double doors of the library. "The Mirror! The Mirror!" She wailed as she disappeared through the doors.
