 *too lazy to quote* ya'll ~ Rise and Rise Again, Until Lambs become Lions ~
Amur's disbelief that the Professor couldn't recall mattress-stair-surfing would have to wait. It seemed that the stairs had grown tired of their talking about doing fun things, and decided to switch things up itself.
It was downright terrifying.
What was more terrifying however, was the noise that came from Professor Flamsteed. It made Amur's arms tighten around the banister and the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end. Her eyes widened in shock. His toes. His poor toes! That had to hurt.
Keeping one arm securely fastened around the banister, Amur leaned over and grabbed onto the Professor's robes as he writhed dangerously close to the edge of the staircase. She didn't know what she would do if he fell over: there were no brooms, no bungie-cords and no mattresses. So, she held on for dear life, even as he twisted right-side-up.
Amur didn't want to let go, of him or the banister, for fear either one of them would abandon her to a looong tumble down, but she did let go of both when Pebbles was dropped in her lap. Her little hands instantly scooped up the tiny rock, holding it close. The feeling of vertigo was almost overwhelming, and Amur clutched the banister again, blinking up at the Professor.
She gave him a firm nod. On her life, she wouldn't let Pebbles go. Even if...."Dementors?!"
And then he was gone. Like a ninja. Tackling the staircases like a boss. Or an insane person. Amur wasn't sure which, but it was admirable.
Carefully rising to her feet, Amur tucked the little rock down her sleeve and tied the leash off on her wrist. She had to give up a few chocolate frogs still lingering in the confines of her clothes, but for Pebbles, it was worth it. The frogs, she placed at the foot of the banister for safe keeping.
Turning back to the problem at hand, Amur walked on the spot, unsure of what to do. "Should.....' There were a lot of people on the stairs: a Professor, two students and an elf. Had the stairs not been so wild, it could have been a party. "SHOULD I GO GET SOME HELP!?"
