Her mind was going faster than it has ever gone now, and she took Arithmancy! It was quite likely that William was related to them. That meant Ari was too! How cool! But before she got too excited, she needed to write to Samuel. He would know everything. Heck, maybe he even knew about William being his cousin. Then again, that would be weird that he never said anything. Anyways, she needed to write to him. She wanted to figure this out.

At Katie's tentative voice, she looked down at the two younger ones. She had almost forgotten they were there, when she noticed William's face. The poor boy. He looked like he had just seen a ghost. Wait...It looked like he had just seen a Blasted-End Skrewt. That's better. It's not like they didn't see ghost's on a daily basis. Back to the subject at hand!

"Yes of course. It's defiently a good thing. I can never have enough cousins. Literally." she chuckled, setting a reassuring hand on William. She gave him a gently squeeze to let him know it was ok, when a exceedingly loud screeching noise filled the corridor. Her eyes shut trying to drown the sound out.

They opened quickly when she heard Katie's voice. Sam didn't like the sound of that screeching. Not at all. "Come on. Let's get out of here." The Gryffindor said, taking Katie's hand in one hand and William's in the other. This was not cool. Hopefully the castle was still safe to be in. Her cousin annoyed her, but she didn't want anything to happen to her. She didn't want anything to happen to anybody for that matter.

As they walked down the hall, she looked down at William. "I am going to write to my cousin Samuel tonight. He is my Aunt Tracy's son. I'm sure he will know if he had an uncle named Timothy. Then we will solve this mystery." she smiled lightly. She would have laughed if the situation they were in wasn't so grim. What the heck was screeching like that?
