Who: Ernie Macmillan and Professor M. McGonagall What: Ernie needs to tell Professor McGonagall about Zarcharias Smith's issues with Death Eaters. Where: McGonagall's office When: Tonight! Warnings | Status: TBD | in progress
Ernie knocked on the door and waited patiently for Professor McGonagall to allow him to enter her office. At the verbal cue, he pushed open the door and slid through to the other side, closing the door behind himself. He leaned against it for a moment and contemplated why he'd come to find his Professor in the first place. It occurred to him that perhaps Professor Sprout would have been the better choice to take this information to, considering both Ernie and Zacharias were both Hufflepuffs and she was Head of their House. But then, McGonagall was deputy Headmistress and probably more suited to dealing with what he had to tell her.
"Professor," Ernie greeted lightly and approached her desk, allowing his arms to hang limply at his sides. He wasn't really nervous, but he was conflicted about how much information concerning Zacharias Smith he wanted to relay here. Ernie sighed softly and took a seat in front of Professor McGonagall's desk.
"I'm sorry to be a bother, Professor, but I felt it was important to .. share some information that Zacharias told me on the train ride back."
