Chapter 11
Chapter 11
Chloe thought she would lose her mind. She sat at dinner and surveyed the room. She didn’t even want to eat the wonderful kidney pie in front of her. She pushed the food around on her plate and fought back the sick feeling in her stomach. Where was he?
For Dumbledore was not at dinner either. Even Minerva looked nervous tonight. Her brows were knit together and she snapped at Hagrid when he burped too loud.
Tension filled the Great Hall.
********
Chloe sat in front of the fire in her sitting room. It was well after midnight. She had offered to take up post after dinner, doing rounds in the halls.
She gathered she was supposed to make sure no students were out of bed after curfew. She really didn’t notice anything. Well…Peeves followed her around and kept handing her flowers that squirted water in her face.
She normally enjoyed Peeves’ antics, but not tonight. He got rather testy with her after she shooed him away. He stuck out his tongue and sang a song:
Muggle, muggle,
What’s your trouble?
The whole while he flew around her head poking her with his finger. She finally stuck her tongue out at him too and he fell through the wall laughing.
She returned to her rooms to shower and dress for bed. But she knew she wouldn’t sleep. Frenny had told her hours ago that Albus was not in the castle, and hadn’t been seen for most of the evening.
It crossed her mind to go down to the dungeons and wait for Severus. Maybe he had returned and no one had told her yet? But….she didn’t even know where it was that he slept. She dared not ask anyone where his private chambers were.
She lay back on her chair and closed her eyes.
***********
“Ms. Chloe! Ms. Chloe! Wake up Miss! Please!” She was barely aware of Frenny’s voice. Chloe opened her eyes and saw Frenny’s large eyes inches from her face. She had fallen asleep in her chair. No…his chair.
“Ms. Chloe! You has to come…quick!” Frenny’s voice was high and loud. She was pulling on Chloe’s arm.
“What is Frenny? What’s happened?” She sat up quickly, knocking Frenny to the floor by accident. Frenny got up rubbing her behind and fixed her tear filled eyes to her mistress.
“Ms. Chloe…yous have to come now! The Headmaster says you have to come quick!” Chloe jumped up and grabbed her robe.
“Is it Severus?” She asked as they ran from the room. Frenny was taking her down into the dungeons. Frenny’s little feet padded along side of her and she looked up at Chloe. She was wringing her hands as she ran.
“Yes Ms. Chloe. It’s bad…real, real bad!” Chloe broke into a full on run, and Frenny did a wonderful job of keeping up. Frenny was telling her to turn the corner when she heard it.
Screams.
Ear piercing screams.
Whomever it was screaming, was in terrible pain.
