Looking away from him, she wiped the tears away, smearing dirt upon her checks. Without looking at him, she forced herself to her feet. In the dark lightening, it was impossible to tell if she had wounded herself. Not that it mattered. They were not from Hogwarts now. The child picked her bag up, slinging it back over her shoulder. "We should keep going,"she muttered, "it'll be dark soon."
By the time they had reached the edge of the grounds of Hogwarts, the sun was nearly gone. Only a silver of its lightening remained. Rising to quickly takes its place, the half moon shone brightly. In the starlight, two figures were standing, waiting. It was Dumbledore, looking calm and collect as always, and Professor McGonagall. She appeared nervous and anxious. She had not met Ellie before they had left that morning, but there was no doubting she had been filled in on every little detail. Such was the way with McGonagall.
"Snape,"Dumbledore greeted, "Ellie."He gave them both a curious look, clearly awaiting explanation of what had occurred. Ellie hovered within Severus's shadow, uneasy and not wanting to be seen. McGonagall spotted her with ease however. The woman forced a smile for the child, one she did not return. Instead, Ellie looked up at Snape, seeking guidance as to what she was to do. She had never been in a predicament such as this before. She was not sure how to conduct herself.
//I'm glad. I know people are sometimes funny about timeskips and such. Do you want to play McGonagall or me? And I'm not sure I spelled her name right.
