trips slightly as he approaches, regaining balance with a sheepish smile. "Er, h-hi there! You come here often?"
Bam! They are in a room together. The boy doesn't look at her Harry Potter can you see me?
blinks in surprise, stumbles over his words Wha-what? You-you can see me? But...but how?
looks at Harry in confusion Um do you have any idea what is going on?
stutters, visibly flustered N-no, I mean, yes! Well, maybe? I mean, I've heard of things like this, but... pauses, scratching his head
excitedly Well, there's this theory about magic and time and space! And how sometimes, people can...appear out of nowhere!
She looks at Harry do you think that's what happened right now?
leans in closer, his eyes wide with excitement I mean, it's possible! Maybe you're a magical being from another time or dimension!
She shakes her head No, no I don't have magic.
grabs Quinn's arm, pulling her towards a nearby bookshelf Well, we can always check the library!
Are you sure those books would even help us?
nods confidently Absolutely! There's got to be something in there about time and space and...and magic!
Alright. If it helps us understand what happened, then it will be useful. She takes Harry to the library
rushes through the aisles, scanning the titles of the books Look at all these options! Magic Theory, Time Travel, Space Spells...
She stops him at one book What about this one?
takes the book from Quinn's hands, flipping through its pages excitedly This one talks about temporal shifts and portal creation!
She sighs, looking at the dense text It better be simple and easy to understand. She stays in the library while she waits for Harry
frantically flipping through the pages, muttering to himself Temporal shifts, portal creation, time travel spells... Oh my gosh, this could be it! shouting
She looks up at Harry, amused by his enthusiasm
As Harry and Quinn delve deeper into the book, they become so engrossed in their research that they forget about the outside world and the mission they were supposed to complete.
She looks at the clock We lost 2 hours.
jumps up from the table, waving his hands frantically Two hours?! We've been in here for two hours? We need to hurry! We can't waste any more time!
She stands up and walks out of the library with Harry
hurries down the hallway, accidentally bumping into several students Sorry! Excuse me!
She keeps a straight face as she walks in front of him You alright Harry?
laughs nervously Yeah, yeah, I'm fine! Just a little distracted, that's all. quickens his pace Come on, Quinn, we need to find Professor Dumbledore.
He isn't in his office, he had an emergency meeting in London.
runs a hand through his hair, looking worried London? An emergency meeting? What could have happened?
She looks at Harry, clearly just as concerned as he is
paces back and forth, his mind racing London, an emergency meeting... Could it have anything to do with the mysterious attacks on the wizarding world?
She glances at Harry, her voice low Harry, what if it's something really serious? What if it's connected to the weird things that happened before we got here?
stops pacing, his eyes wide with worry You're right, Quinn! We need to find out what's going on!
She nods We should try and find Professor McGonagall then. She could give us some insight or at least tell us where to start looking.
grabs Quinn's hand and pulls her towards the stairwell Let's go, Quinn! We need to find Professor McGonagall before anything else!
