"Argyle! Beezley!" the redhead called out to them like a shipwreck survivor clinging to a piece of wreckage. "Thank Merlin you're here! I...I....I've...... I've lost something..." she swallowed an awkward lump in her throat, feeling close to tears, and took a step closer to the elves. Then the Headmistress bent down so that she was stooping at their eye level and speaking in a whisper.

"Can you help me find it, please? I thought... maybe Toddles had taken it, at first, then I thought....it was just lost... or a student borrowed it....but I don't know anymore." She fought back a sniffle and pointed to the lapel of her blazer. "I'm mmissing my brooch...my beautiful green brooch. Please help me find it."

She hadn't gone ANYWHERE without it ALL TERM. And now... NOW SHE FELT NAKED! And scared, for some inexplicable reason....

The headmistress was all teary and Argyle felt her own large eyes growing watery too. The elfsies would help Headmistress find her lovely broochie! They wouldn't let her be sad for long. No they wouldn't. "Argyle will look all over! Argyle will help you find it, Headmistress. Argyle promises." She would look day and night for the broochie. The broochie had to be hiding somewhere in the castle. It had to be.

SPOILER!!: Tinka

"Tinka do everything Tinka can to find Missus' broochy!" Her arms began to flap up and down, up and down. She turned to Argyle and Beezley. "Argyle, Beezley, Tinka make search party? We look all over the castle for Missus' broochy! This be bad bad bad!" More arm flappy. "Tinka go right now, Tinka go look!"

Argyle nodded her big elfsie head at Tinka. "Search party, yes. Tinka make search party! Argyle will search the great hall. Argyle will help find Headmistress' broochie! Poor missing broochie. Poor Headmistress" This wasn't good. Not good at all. The elfsies had to find the broochie for Headmistress right now.
