"You know what's interesting, Fia? A lot of the professors are losing their wands," she reported. LouAnn had lost count of the number of teachers she'd seen fumbling about for the wands in the last week or so. "I've seen quite a few searching for their wand, you know. More than just one or two..." She leaned in closer and whispered in the girl's ear. "If you ask me, I think someone is trying to steal them..."

She blinked when Fia referred to her as a genius. LouAnn? A genius? Then again, it didn't take a Potions Master to spot the dangers that lied within having werewolves lead an entire school. "What if it wasn't a done deal, Fia? What if this happens again---at the next full moon?" she wondered. "What's Melita going to do then? Give us all a cookie?"

She gave Fia a "hmm?" look, then turned back towards the Gryffindor girl who'd approached them. "Hi, Katyn. It's nice to meet you," she greeted. "Is this your first year at Hogwarts, or have you always gone here? It's my first year, so I wouldn't have really known you from before."
