Forbidden Corridor - PG - Chapter 14: You Can Use My Skin, To Bury Secrets In - » Author: Sydella Shields
Quarter till nine and there was still no sign of Quirrell in the library. There was hardly anyone else there either, possibly because it was almost closing time, but still it seemed oddly empty. Angelica had decided to pretend to study while she waited. So there she sat, aimlessly, anxiously staring at a very thick and old book called The Magical Household. Snape suspiciously passed by, glaring at her.
She seriously debated leaving for a while after that, and at 9:30 she got up and walked through the heavy double doors, only to smack right into Quirrell.
"Oh! I um -" Angelica said, startled.
"No, its my fault, Angelica. Come with me," Quirrell said, in an oddly calm voice.
This time the two of them didn't go to his office, they went to an empty classroom and from the stack of books piled high, it could be deduced that it was most likely Professor Flitwick's room. Quirrell shut the door to the moonlit room and slowly walked towards Angelica.
"N-n-now j-just s-s-stay still," he told her as he took out his wand.
Angelica's mouth went dry and her body felt like lead. "W-what are you doing?" she exclaimed, though she didn't try to run away.
"F-f-f-forgive me. Accio Rudictus!"
Angelica felt a stabbing pain in her side and then the room went black.
