Professor Shackleton conjured a tissue and handed it to the girl, then clasped a comforting hand on her shoulder. She didn't know how to reply to the poor child, and even if she did, it was the Headmaster's decision what happened to the students of Hogwarts in situations as serious as these. She would assist the Headmaster in any way he asked, but she wouldn't speak until that point, for fear of stepping on his toes.

"Th-thank you," Cadence stammered sincerely, accepting the tissue from Professor Shackleton. She looked at the Headmaster, her heart beating wildly, waiting for him to speak.

It's the way I've watched you change me from a boy into a man. It's a million things about you, and I don't know what it is. I have never known a love like this.
