"DO YOU WANT ME TO TAKE A LOOK?"
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
"You wanted to see me professor?" said Alice, peeking her head around the door of McGonagalls office.
"Yes, take a seat" she replied, gesturing towards the chair in front of the desk. Alice knew this couldn't be good. They know what happened to her, that was easy, it's asking her to talk about it that's the hard part. "Remus Lupin will be in in a moment"
Now it defiantly couldn't be good.
Alice sat down, gazing around the room. She missed it. She missed everything about Hogwarts.
Hermione wouldn't leave her alone, she knows something is up. But Alice won't tell, she will never tell.
"Good morning Minerva" greeted Lupin as he walked in and stood beside Alice. Her heart was racing. She wasn't ready to talk about it.
They'd want to know about James. She couldn't tell them that.
"Good morning Mr. Lupin sir" says Alice.
He chuckles.
"Lupin is just fine Alice"
She smiled.
"Now, I'll leave you two for a moment" said McGonagall as she gets up to leave. Lupin smiled.
Now is defiantly couldn't get any worse.
"How are you Alice?" he asked.
"Good" she answered, and it was the truth. There was no more pain. She wasn't at the Manor, and that's all that mattered.
"The Malfoys aren't a family Alice, you have to see that" he said.
Alice looked at him. Of course she knew that.
"I know, I've known from the start"
Lupin looked at Alice. He felt stupid, if she had known, why hadn't they seen through her.
"And you didn't tell us?"
"I had to go back!" she cried. "They would've killed me! Found me and killed me! My injuries were nothing!"
Lupin sighed. He didn't know what to do.
The question was why? Why was it happening to her? What were they missing?
"Why?" he asked. "Why would they kill you?"
"I don't know!" she yelled. "I'm just Alice! Nothing special about me! I just got the bloody short stick, didn't I? A brother dead and the Malfoys watching over me!?"
