::Erica took the newspaper out of Professor Bree's hand and turned her full attention to what she was saying. She just stood there like a statue taking all of it in.::
::What Professor Bree said was almost too difficult to process. Students died. Sudents actually died. It completely shattered her belief that any school of learning was completely safe. It made her feel vunerable and she didn't like feeling vunerable. And who was this Lord Voltermortist guy? Her mind once again flashed back to the trickle of information she was able to gather. She remembered reading about a Lord Voldermort and a Harold...no...Harvey...no, wait...Harry. That was it. Harry Potter and Lord Voldermort in a showdown that killed them both. But that was at least fifty years ago. Perhaps this evil wizard was somehow related or a copycat. She figured not to ask seeing as how even Professor Bree was hesitant to talk about it.::
::She then quickly scanned the newspaper the professor handed to her, the Hogwarts Quill. She read about all of the precautions that the school was taking, the "listening devices," the dark magic detectors and she remembered Ms. Leiden from the Ministry. She also noted the section in the article where the Headmaster had issued warnings and how those warnings were not heeded and resulted in most of the deaths.::
"So, Professor, if I just follow the rules and stay away from the Dark Forest, everything should be okay?"
