Who is to Blame?

 

What of Riala Blackfire - hauled off to Snape's office?

Riala walked in silence, she didn't know why Snape look at her like she were more stupid then a Hippogriff, and that's getting low. She hadn't done anything that she could think of. And yet, here she was following her Head of House to his office, most obviously angry with her. As they walked students of all kinds, of every house and of every year seemed to pass and as they did a strange thing happened. At first their eyes would widen then lessen a bit as if understanding had come after a great shock, then if in a group (which since the incident most were), Riala could hear a small whispers with things like:

"The snob Blackfire", "Slimy Slytherin", "Should have known with a face like THAT!", and the apparent favourite, "Blackfire, what a name it just shouts dark magic". Well Riala wasn't so stupid that she hadn't figured out what her charge was at this point. They suspected her of killing Josslin. 'That's outrageous' she wanted to shout. And yet she kept silent, they would never believe a 'Slytherins' innocent plea. Fortunately she didn't spy to many of her year, and those she did looked at her with quite a bit of confusion, or just a plain stare. She reached Snape's office after the gruelling walk though the castle.

Snape sat Riala down before taking a seat opposite her. "Are you that stupid girl!" was the first words out of his mouth, but it wasn't a question to be answered. Riala lowered her head. "That spell erased ALL the evidence! We have nothing now!"

Riala's head snapped up. 'he doesn't think I killed her?' Relief rushed over eyes as a few tears moistened them, but she quickly opened them wider to let the air dry them up again. "What do you mean?" She asked in a timid whisper.

"WHAT DO I MEAN! I've known your parents for YEARS and you think I don't know the spell. I know the little ritual you just did, I saw your father do it on a friend not even 5 years ago!" Snape slammed his fist down on his desk. "Any magic that COULD HAVE pointed us to the murderer is now gone, thanks to you and you're spell. You didn't think of THAT did you! Just wanted to save a corpse!" He said this even more venomously.

"GET OUT! I can't stand to look at you!"

Riala got up to leave but before she did, "And Miss Blackfire, I WILL be telling your parents about this." Riala's face went white, and she continued to go out the door to face the billions of judging faces that thought her to blame.

Madison rushed up to Riala. Her face was tear-streaked and her eyes were red. "What happened?" Madison asked, holding back her tears. "How did this happen?" She lowered her voice. "They all think you did it...is that what Snape wanted to talk to you about?"

Yvette dragged her feet as she walked down the hallway, feeling her stomach jump with fear when she passed Riala. All of this was so scary...and she was so frightened...

Indeed they all were…………

Whispers sound throughout the corridors of Hogwarts, "Did a student really kill Josslin?", "Who was it that had the vision?".. etc. But their were no questions about who that couple was that came to Dumbledore's office late that night. The woman was tall almost 5'9 with fair hair down to the small of her back, she had small proportioned features in her face and her eyes were red and blood shot. The man was also tall, at around 6'3" he was an imposing figure but at the moment he looked between , he couldn't hurt a fly, and "I'll tear you to shreds if you look at me wrong". He had dark curly hair that was in a quick ponytail, and his dark blue eyes looks like oceans about to explode. They walked into Dumbledore's office quietly, one arm each around each other. These were Josslin's parents.
