Back to crazy talk with Salander. He was really going to argue with her over this? Really? Kinda scared by the level of crazy she was witnessing, Melanie gave his hand a little pat. "...Whatever you say." His analogies weren't that bad, but Melanie did not believe the Force was present at Hogwarts. It was a nice notion, though.
She led him toward the hut, walking quickly, with purpose. "He's the Groundskeeper and Hufflepuff Head of House." she answered simply, eying the benches anxiously. She bit her lip, glancing over at Salander. She really didn't want to sit and wait, when Fletcher could be drowning.
So, Melanie gave the door to the hut a good hard knock, before leaning back and waiting on him to answer. At the moment, she was too antsy take a seat.
Pulled by Melanie, Salander found himself in an area were a cozy hut stood. It only occurred to him then that property as large as Hogwarts would have a Groundskeeper. After all, who would be looking after the Treehouse, or the Whomping Willow for that matter?
Whomping Willow. cue idea excuse.
It attacked me. I was merely defending myself. Yeah that sounded right. Unless the Willow could talk, then all bets are off.
But it was Melanie's last words that caused Salander to stop dead in his tracks
"H-Hufflepuff Head of House?!? This guy?" That would make him part of The Faculty. And who was it that was supposed to be dead but not dead? A certain
Hufflepuff Champion. And who is he following to possible imminent doom? An upset, and possibly very violent,
Hufflepuff student (who after all pushed someone out of the treehouse)
How
did this Slytherin find himself in this situation? All he asked was dude-are-you-ok?
This isnt looking good in Salander's head. The lone Snake entering Badger territory. His imagination went into overdrive as he struggled to find excuses for each of them.
Perjury! Murder! Conspiracy!
He felt that his legs should be running
away from the hut instead of planting themselves in front of it. As he looked around for a place to hide-- or at least barricade himself from the onslaught of angry Badgers-- his eyes rests on the last thing he expected to find on school grounds....
a Dog House. So there
is a BIG Dog on Hogwarts.
With Melanie there, he might as well sign a confession.
