There was something creepy about Hogwarts at Midnight. Eden missed the inane chatter of students, the comments of the portraits. The thunder of tiny little feet scampering down hallways. Besides nothing good happened during the night. Eden had sent an owl to the headmistress letting her know that she would be arriving shortly. Eden hated to wake the girls up in the middle of the night but it was important. They would want to know what happened. A part of Eden wanted to let them sleep, let them be innocent and free of worry for a little longer but they'd probably be pissed that she waited as long as she had. When Eden got the message that Max was hurt she'd rushed to the hospital. She had watched from the hallway as a team of healers worked their magic before someone noticed the curtain on the window overlooking the hallway was open and shut it. Eden had pestered the staff and the auror set on duty to get all the information she needed. She made sure he was going to make it, that the threat was contained and then she left to make sure the girls would be safe. They needed to know about Max from family not some headline in the morning paper.
Eden waited in the headmistress' office, meandering the circular tower. It looked different than it had when she'd been a student. When it had been Curse's office. She couldn't help but notice the differences. Eden stared at her reflection in the display cabinet which once held a collection of rare potions. Eden's hair was a mess. She'd been sleeping when she got the news. She hadn't bothered to brush her hair. She was barely wearing suitable clothes. Her shirt was an old tee shirt she slept in. Her jeans were splotched with paint and she was wearing ratty flats that had seen better days. She was a mess. Her eyes were shadowed and her skin pale. She looked like the waif she had been the last time she was in this office.
Eden turned when the door opened revealing Violet and Evie.
"Sorry to wake you up but somethings happened to Max," Eden said not beating around the bush. They probably already had come up with a hundred different scenarios as to why they were summoned to the headmaster's office in the middle of the night, none of them pleasant.
