Sam POV

"Well?!" Headmistress Quartz says, banging her fist on the mahogany table. I wince.

The question was aimed at me.

I scan the deep red walls for an escape. "I d-don't know, Miss," I say, and cower back, preparing for the onslaught that would make even the biggest one direction fan stop squealing at how hot Harry was.

"You don't know?!" She shrieks "This child for here less than two hours ago!! WHERE IS ASHLYN?! SAMIRA!! YOU WERE TO OVERSEE THE SHIFT!!" She was in a full blown, red-faced rage now, though thankfully, her anger was now directed at Samira, who was a sickly pale.

"I'm not all that sure, Mariella," she says, her lips were pursed, "She flew off in the direction of Cicero's cave and-"

Misstress Quartz cuts her off, "WHAT?!" She booms.

She stares at us with her most-of-the-time-soft blue eyes, and I almost let out a most un-brave whimper.

She whooshes past us without a word, her yellow dress flowing out behind her, and slams the heavy door as she storms out of the room.

We stand in complete and utter quiet, well, that is, until the tapestries decide they want to have a say in the matter.

"Wait!! Someone must tell thou how thee has lost a Dragon!! It tis most stupid!" One yells

"Cicero!! Who in their right mind would go anywhere near that old grump??" Another shouts.

"I'm Bored!!" A particulary grumpy tapestry exploits.

"Where has thy young William gone?" The first pompous tapestry asks.

That is when the room goes silent, and I realise, my brother, who was meant to be bundled up in blankets in the corner, for he had fallen into the always baltic Irish Sea, had disappeared.

A/N

HelOo

I'm very sorry guys, this is very short and I haven't updated in ages, I have writers block at the moment.

This book will continue, and I have ideas, and know what characters I want to kill off *winks menacingly* and new characters to be introduced.

Hopefully updates will be more frequent now that exams are over (even though they were over about two weeks ago) and longer.

And this author's note seems more like a formal letter (sorta, anyway) but aww, well.

Thanks,
ErinXx
