After a few minutes of walking around this maze of a dungeon, we reach a classroom and an office inside.
Professor McGonagall
Severus, I found this girl from Slytherin roaming in the corridor. I will leave you to it.
Snape looks up to see me and his eyes widen in surprise.
Professor Snape
You can go, Professor.
He waits for McGonagall to leave and then looks up at me with anger.
Professor Snape
What on Earth were you doing out there in the middle of the night?!
Wait, it's the middle of night already?!
Annàbelle
Um
Annàbelle
I was hungry so...
Professor Snape
You couldn't have waited for a few hours?!
Annàbelle
I'm sorry.
Professor Snape
You are incompetent to be here. I will ask Professor Dumbledore to take you somewhere else.
He gets up, ready to leave.
Annàbelle
Wait!
Then, he turns around, looking at her with a raised eyebrow.
Annàbelle
You don't get to scold me for being hungry. That's human nature. Do you really think that I would go out, knowing that I'm in danger, just because I wanted to?!
That shut him up! His lips formed to a thin line.
Professor Snape
I hope I don't have to see this... behaviour of you again.
Annàbelle
It won't happen again.
I said with an exasperated sigh.
Professor Snape
You are free to go... Right into the basement of the tower.
Annàbelle
Ok.
I look down, sad, and get out of his office, directly to the basement of the tower.
Annàbelle
So... here I am, Princess locked in a tower.
Annàbelle
Ugh, I hate those words.
Then, I suddenly feel a throbbing headache.
Annàbelle
Ah... That has to be the result of not eating, huh?
After a few moments, an elf comes in and places a plate full of delicious food.
Annàbelle
Thanks!
He leaves, muttering to himself.
Annàbelle
Weird..
I dig into the food, savouring the taste.
Annàbelle
Mmm...
Annàbelle
That's the best thing I ever had!
All this time... I was unaware of... someone watching me from the shadows.
