[a private meeting with Professor Dumbledore]
Audrey stood anxiously in front of a large stone gargoyle, clutching a small piece of parchment in her shaking hand. She closed her eyes and took several deep breaths. She opened the folded parchment and read off the word that was scribbled upon it quietly. Instantly, the gargoyle stepped aside and a large door opened before her eyes. There was a wooden stare case in front of her, that she stepped upon as it began to move.
She made her way slowly, moving along with the steps, until she found herself inside a large, round office, full of windows, and paintings. She stepped forward, and saw Professor Dumbledore seated behind a large desk at the end of the room. She tucked the parchment into her pocket and cleared her throat.
"Um, professor. It's Audrey. Emerson. I was told that I could come and speak with you privately?" The words shook in her voice, as she shifted her weight from foot to foot, as she waited for him to look up.
