Sadly, or, rather, angrily, this was happening, and there wasn’t much Felicity could say as she shot Vivian a grimace as she joined them. “We can try,” she added, more for Skylar and Vivian’s benefit than anything else, as they seemed so upset by the matter. Picking her way through the rubbish, Liss pulled out her wand and started to try and fix the curtains around her four-poster bed. Getting rid of the bulky material seemed to be a good place to start.

“Thanks, Vivi,” she said gratefully, watching the paper airplane leave the dorm. At least her emotions – which were, of course, totally understandable – weren’t compromising her Prefect-head. She continued attempting to fix things whilst she waited for Professor Vance to arrive, hoping that she would have some clever input. Could she be all psychic and figure out who on Merlin’s green Earth had ruined everything?! She shrugged at the Professors questions, letting Junia, and the younger Natalie who’d just joined them, do all her answering for her.

Whilst she stared in despair at the mess that her life had just become. Her hand subconsciously kept going to the necklace around her neck, that she’d dug out from underneath her shirt.

The screaming startled her, and before she had a chance to question it, Felicity was being clung to. Awkwardly, she patted Philippa’s shoulder, before looking around at the rest of the people in the room. Anyone help a girl who didn’t know how to deal with a crying child out?
