Still petting the big dog, she heard Edmund call her name much closer now, but she still didn't respond. A few moments later, he had found her. At first Sutton thought about just ignoring him and continuing to wallow in her own little tunnel of misery...

But then she let go of the dog, who promptly jumped out of the tunnel, and she crawled to the end, climbing out and hugging Edmund as she cried into his chest. Her voice muffled, she said, "I d-didn't mean it..." Looking up with hopeful eyes, she asked, "Is there a... a spell or something that will let me go back and change it? Because I will... I'll take it all back. I won't even go to the stupid carnival thing..." Surely in everything that magic could do, there was a way to fix it...
Biting his lip as she paused, he gazed at Sutton concernedly, but then before he could even blink, she had climbed out of the tunnel, hugged him and started bawling like Amelia had. He wrapped his arms around her and just hugged her tightly, feeling devastated FOR her.

"I know, I know." He looked down at her sympathetically. "No, sorry. I'd have told you waaaaay back if there was." Before all the crying and heartbreak and not-so-subtle proposals that weren't quite how they should have been. "We're gonna have to do the muggle way and hope for the best." He reached for Amelia's discarded jacket and pulled it around Sutton. "You shouldn't have run out here. If you were going to run, you should have at least gone to he common room." Somewhere warm.
