Penny had scooted over towards the door as she'd heard the womans name. Edgecombe. She remembered Marietta from Hogwarts ; long limbed and with gorgeous hair. The younger girl had had a fondness for sprawling over the couch by the fire to do her homework. And her name - her name had been in the paper only last week.
Healer Jones' words brought her head sharply up from her own thoughts and she gave her own name quietly before letting her thoughts turn back to Mrs Edgecombe and Marietta.
The paper had claimed Ron Weasley had somehow been involved and that was something Penny hadn't believed ; Percys brother was still a kid and no child had that much hatred in them. Especially not a Weasley.
"She's going to be okay?" Pennys voice rose slightly at the end of the her question, hands coming up to wrap around her waist as she watched the proceedings. She felt in the way ; as though she'd stumbled into someone elses life. The entire evening had a tinge of the unreal to it - people didn't stumble across strangers on a snowy street. And if it did, it didn't happen to people like her.
A movement caught her eye and she turned, taking in the sparse room and Hestia's figure bent over Mrs Edgecombe. "Should I - ," she paused and motioned with her hands towards the door.
