 Arithmancy class post 3 - team besties on the 8th floor...? Fluttery Pegasi
"Alright! Fine, I'll tell you." Hogwarts didn't have an 8th floor, so naturally Haddie figured that the 8th floor meant one of the towers. Together they reasoned it was probably somewhere in the Astronomy tower, as no one wanted to think about divination classes, and the Professor wouldn't send a bunch of kids to disturb the owls in the Owlery, and well the other two towers weren't accessible to everyone. The whole time, all the way up from the fourth floor, and all through searching the Tower Patch and the Lounge and the Observatory, Ol' Freckle Face just wouldn't let Haddie's little slip drop. No doubt Rachel could tell it was something that was bothering Haddie or she probably would have dropped it.
Haddie sighed, and looked down at the floor for a moment. "Dad found out about the Hag cooking that Hufflepuff boy... and," she didn't look up, didn't want to see that look in Rachel eyes. "And, I'm not going to be back next year." She finally did venture a glance up at Rachel. "I mean Mom's trying all she can to talk him into letting me go, but... well, if she didn't really think it was crucial that I learn to control my magic, she'd probably be one the same. And well, she barely talked him into letting me finish out this year. So, it's pretty unlikely."
Haddie shrugged, still focused on the floor. Then she looked up and glanced around the room. "Come on, let's find that clue. It has to be here." Except, looking around there wasn't many places to hide it, and even then, why would it be hidden. "I don't see it, do you? Maybe it's on the 7th floor?"
