Rumpole was shocked. “How do you know my name?”

“Lucky guess.” He shook his head. “Rumpole. How did this happen to you? When did it happen?”

Rumpole’s voice was slow, as if she was still struggling to process it. “A few weeks ago I went to the Wastelands,” she said. “Some Huntsmen said they had information on the whereabouts of the Crown. So they led me out there.” She blinked a few times. “And it was a trap. I couldn’t beat them. Though we fought for hours—and they finally overwhelmed me. Since then, I’ve been working for the Crown. I can’t believe it. It was worse than mind control … I wanted to help them. I believed in their cause.”

“But who is the Crown?” Theodore asked. Apparently, the headmaster knew a lot less than some of his students.
