"Excuse me, are you Hannah?"
Hannah turned about to see a tall woman with long, straight dark
hair, wearing glasses and Muggle clothing. She appeared to be in
her late twenties or maybe early thirties. "Yes, I'm Hannah
Abbott," she said.
The woman held out her hand and Hannah shook it. "I'm Heather
Panquelle. I'm Kat and Alison's sister," she added by way of
explanation. "The middle one."
"I'm pleased to meet you," Hannah said, then tilted her head
quizzically. "Are you one of the Warriors? I don't remember
seeing your picture in the front hall."
"Oh, no," Heather laughed. "I'm just a housewife. I don't run
around wearing kevlar and leather, fighting terrorists and
international criminals. I have more than enough on my hands
taking care of my home and my two treasures. My daughters Ruth
and Grace," she added at Hannah's puzzled look.
Hannah nodded in understanding, then said, "Then you're not a
regular visitor to the Mansion, I'd guess. So what brings you
here today?"
Heather held out her arm. "Come, walk with me, Hannah. I want
to talk to you about a secret of mine -- one that I think you'll
be surprised to learn you share."
