I walk through the office to the front door only to run into Matilda and Harry heading back to the cafe. "Hey Harry why don't you go ask Miss Margret for a lolly pop." Harry looks at me then to Matilda before walking off. "What happened?"

She shakes her head as she watches Harry walk over to the front desk, but he doesn't grab a lolly pop or even speak to Margret he just stands there waiting. "All I know is he was sitting at the end of the table, away from all the students and someone threw their open milk cartoon at him." I glance over at him before I nod my head. "Is something going on?"

"He's another case." I whisper softly so he can't hear.

Matilda's head spins to look over at Harry her eyes wide and mouth hanging open. I look over just in time to see Harry's face go pale and him lower his head. "Matilda stop he thinks he's in trouble now!" I hiss at her and she quickly looks at me.

"That poor boy."

I shake my head. "You can't say a thing to anyone. The last person to try and take this case to court was cut off and the headmistress was forced to fire her."

"Mrs. Adams?"

I look over at Harry before I nod my head and walk over to him. Once I'm in front of him I kneel down and lift his head with a finger under his chin. "Are you okay?"

He nods his head before glancing over at Matilda.

"Why don't we get back to class?" I take his hand and lead him out of the office and back to the class room where I sit him down at his desk before I begin to hand out the next sheets of paper. I keep an eye on Harry as I move about the class room trying to busy myself.

How should I approach him? I glance over at him to see that he's just stareing out the window. I can't just walk up to him and talk to him. He likely knows what could happen if it was found out that he was talking to someone about what happens at home.

I feel my stomach shrivel up and my heart clench.

The best way to find out… is to wait.

I know it's super short but I didn't continue writing this when the idea popped into my head and now I'm paying for it, I'll post again at some point. I'm sorry.
