The early morning fog was making it very difficult to see but Georgina could make out the faint outline of the imposing stone house. The field was deserted, or so it seemed, and the half-light of the early morning played tricks with her vision. Looking rather put out by the whole thing, she began the walk to the house. It was four in the morning, in the middle of nowhere, of course she wasn't in the best of moods. Nevertheless, sacrifices needed to be made; Georgina could spare a couple of hours less sleep in order to continue her education. She was clutching a rather charred-looking book with the spine cracked in places. Georgina found it in Knockturn Alley the day before and was quite surprised to find a number of very intriguing symbols contained within the ugly, mottled pages. She'd managed to translate some of the runes last night and it seemed that an entire chapter was devoted to an obscure, and rather disturbing, form of human to animal transfiguration. Sadly, for Georgina, she was unable to translate an entire section due to some of the more advanced symbols; her curiosity overtook her pride and she decided it would be best to ask for Rodolphus's help.
Georgina knocked on the door, as appropriate, and stepped back to wait. Her mentor had always intimidated her but she hoped that she had established some form of rapport with him. Enough for the older and more senior Death Eater to not scoff at her inability to translate runic symbols, Georgina wished.
