Breathe, breathe she thought to herself as Professor Wayland listened and reread the letter again. ”Yes, I just sort of stepped on it and noticed something was off – especially when I well…read it” she nodded. This was nerve wracking more so because it meant that no one was safe. Her favorite Professor of last term had already left - but she had known that was coming.

Beth listened intently to Professor Wayland’s words and nodded, ”Thank you Professor, h-honestly…I’m not scared what will happen to me – more so that…that really all of the Professors we know are going to be replaced by ones loyal to the new regime”[b] because that was what this was – it was Scrimgeour’s Regime.

Beth simply nodded when Professor Wayland told her not to worry, okay. Maybe she was going to worry just a little bit – because there was a lot to worry about this term. Tea for example, she needed to get some tea…check on tea – maybe she’d go and speak with Toddles after this? ”of course Professor…and good luck,” she added before started to trek behind him toward the castle. Her mind constantly slipping to Tea and getting Goat the cat a bit of milk…or any kind of treats.
