This was the proof Sammy was a real WOMAN. She had finally mustered up the courage to leave the common room after having an unsuccessful planning sesh with Amy. Risking running into You-Know-Who Yes everyone, Voldemort is in da hooooooood. Everett jerkface Sutherland. Amy hadn't let her take a stick for 'safety' because apparently Sammy wasn't allowed to hit people with sticks, Moggy hadn't been too much help on the matter either considering he hid under Sammy's bed in a spot she couldn't reach so she was utterly defenseless if she did happen to come across Everett. That's why she was at the Whomping Willow, who'd come to the Whomping Willow unless they were avoiding someone? NO ONE ... with a brain at least.

With a quick look around, she dumped her bag on the ground and ran over to the tree like a three year old. If one thing would take her mind off jerkface and Amy screwing up big time, it was playing jump n' duck with the Whomping Willow. Because you had to focus completely on the tree, if you got distracted you'd get hit.
