Devon's Mom

My father talked about it once. I kept it in mind in case I would ever need to make use of it. 

Your father. Your father went here? Oh, you're Professor Malfoy's kid?

Every potion except birth control, apparently. Let's hope that you're not looking for that?

Mackenzie Daniels. Professor Lupin told me to look for you?

It’s true - although, I’ve never used it myself. 

Then how do you know where it is?

-she stares at her blank paper in the library-

You're Ella?

Nice to meet you and your - um, Devon. 

Well, if what I've heard is true, you can open the door and there'll be a room that you want. I want to se what's there.

Seventh floor corridor, opposite of that strange tapestry with the trolls. 

Awesome, thank you.

I don't know. I guess, maybe, while Devon's asleep, but I try to get schoolwork done then. Maybe when Ryder has him.

If you used to be it’s quite easy to be once more. All you have to do is stretch a bit everyday.

I doubt I would have time for that.

I stretch a lot. It’s about flexibility.

I used to be flexible.

Come again?

How do you do that? I can't even imagine.

1...2..3

Oof.

Fourteen weeks now, I think? So about three and a half months. To be completely honest, I'm so tired that I don't remember his birthday, let alone my own.

I’m sure they don’t and I hope for their sake they both have a really good reason for being gone.

You and me both, Olivia, you and me both.
