- Sneak! Sneak! Plot! Plot! -

[Patricia Styx]

Patricia had been spending a lot of her free time in the Owlery recently. She would finish class, go get changed and bring her homework up to the Owlery with her, and the House Elves would bring her dinner if she wanted it. She would sit in the cold room most days waiting on a letter from Niccy, just to know that she was alright. Patricia missed her so much and it tore her about to know that she may never come back to New Zealand again.

It was a quiet afternoon and Patricia was finishing off some homework as she nibbled on her chicken salad sandwich which one of the elves brought her. She hadn't heard from Niccy in a few days and was starting to get worried. Every so often she gazed out to the empty skies to see if she could see any strange owls.

A crow named Verrine flew toward Hogwarts with a letter in its beak. It landed on the seal and stared at Patricia with evil, black beady eyes. It dropped the letter next to it, and let out a soft noise to get the Hufflepuff's attention. The letter read as followed:

Patricia,
I will need to meet with you over an urgent matter. Meet me in Brightstone tomorrow, because students have break at that time. I will spot you, no need to worry over wondering where to go. Don't keep me waiting forever.
