"Tell me everything!"
She had been hungry for news of Hogwarts for two years. Even after she left St. Mungo's her grandparents had kept her so isolated. She only ever saw her family and her tutor. She was actually pretty lucky they had let her write to Melanie.
Melanie raised an eyebrow. She had been sure that was old news, but she proceeded to explain anyway.
"Yeah, werewolves... there was two werewolves on staff last year. And there was an attack on a person the year before. No one died or anything though." she explained, looking at her carefully.
"I'm pretty sure Professor Lupa is still teaching Ancient Runes at Hogwarts, but Professor Bontecou, who got turned into a werewolf.. Well, I don't think he's Headmaster anymore. Kazimeriz is. He likes sacking teachers." she stated, matter-oh-factually, taking a bigggggg breath as she finished. She wasn't about to mention all the Hufflepuffs that got killed last term. Melanie was absolutely positive that wouldn't bring back good memories.
Hearing her Cadence's explanation for not knowing, she muttered inaudible something about
'stupid adults' Even if they felt it would be bad for her, in Melanie's opinion, they should have at least sent her to Hogwarts informed.
"Yeah...well, ask me if you have any other questions." she said, smiling slightly.
