 Wowza!
Levi actually stood up to get a large cushion from another couch so he could sit on it and look down on Althea without having to ask Declan to move. Though he still had to crane his neck around his brother's head, which was unfortunate. He felt the tips of his ears burn in embarrassment. "I have no gold." This was not true. On the last Hogsmeade outing, in which they'd predictably run into their father (as they always did, unfortunately) Levi had requested some gold. But those magazine subscriptions were not going to pay themselves. "And, honestly, Thea, do you want to go home? To be supervised by ma and pops all day long? Isn't that like being asphyxiated?" Not that Levi would know. Being the middle child with the tendency to turn himself in to his parents every time he did something wrong--which was often--had its perks. Being grounded did not have perks, of course, but it wasn't like they did a lot of exploring when they were home.
He unscrewed his water bottle again to take another swig. "I think," He said, in between gulps, "That if one of us fail to show up to our daily, horrible early morning workouts," at which point he sent Declan a sour look, but did slid him the last of the cold muffins Althea had brought over, "Then we should alert someone." By someone he meant the headmistress or a professor and by professor he meant Professor Myers or Healer Reed or Professor Hirsch. Or Sokolov because maybe the Ancient Runes bloke could intimidate the portal into disappearing. Frankly, Levi did not have much faith in the rest.
