At first, Shea wasn’t sure how long she had been gone for. She knew it was longer than a few days. She had some sense of time in the dark room she had been kept in. But not that much. There’s nothing she could do about it either. She was defenseless, she was all alone, and she was completely terrified. It wasn’t until she had handed over her valuable family heirloom did they let her go. But it wasn’t like they dropped her off at the Hogwarts gate. No, instead they knocked her out and brought her to the center of the forbidden forest. Once she woke up, it took Shea hours to find her way back to the school. Upon arriving, she was taken to the infirmary to be checked out and cleaned up. She was shaken up and a little uneasy, but after a day of being monitored, she was allowed to return to her dorm. They suggested that she take it easy, but Shea didn’t want to make a spectacle out of the whole thing. She needed to return back to her normal schedule, and that’s what she had done. Walking down the halls of the school, Shea was a little spaced out, not paying much attention to the hustle and bustle around her. Not until she shoulder hit into another body. “Excuse me,” she mumbled, not really looking up.
