Anna watched Cale as he left the ground floor and headed down towards the kitchen area. Hmm...what business did he have there, anyway? A few days ago, or even a few hours ago, she would have believed he was headed to meet Evolette in the dungeon corridors or something, but no, not now. Ever since Anna had that little meeting with Evolette McKenna earlier, she'd learned a lot of valuable little pieces of information. The most valuable being that Cale and Evolette's relationship was actually fake, and that Cale had set it all up to get Anna back for kissing Seth Paton in the courtyards.

The second valuable piece of information that Anna had learned had been told to her in a story, a true story about something that had happened to Evolette and Terry Saunders. It was this same story that had convinced Anna to owl her father in the wee hours of the night and ask him not to come help her pack and leave Hogwarts today after all.

Add all those valuable pieces of information together, and you have the main reason Anna was currently hurrying after Cale and trying to catch up with him. She needed to update him on everything that had happened yesterday, the most important update being that she was staying at Hogwarts after all. "CALE!" she called out, realizing that if he didn't stop soon she would probably never catch up with him. "Wait up!"
