Surely she wouldn't get into trouble right?

The professor did look calmer now.

So... Selena was safe? "I can't tell you who gave it to me professor," Selena said, shaking her head as she said it. Because he said she wasn't allowed to. "And no, I did not."

But if the professor wanted her to see the letter, she wouldn't object. She did want to see what had made the professor furious so easily.

She narrowed her eyes again and muttered something under her breath.

"And if I bribed you to tell me, would you, Miss Zabini-Riddle?" It might have been a trick question but it was hard to tell when the professor was speaking in that quietly dangerous tone.

Well, the Slytherin SEEMED like she was telling the truth. Althea HOPED she was. "If I find out you did read it, and you tell anyone, it'll be a month of detention." Not that she was threatening her or anything.... just stating a fact. Mmmhmm.

Sniff.

It was so awkward. Fancy this happening in a LESSON?

She carefully made sure the letter was secure in its envelope, and that was secure in her pocket.

And now she was going to just... meditate for the last few minutes. Breathe, Althea.
