"Laura? Didn't I tell you to go get some rest, or at least visit the Hospital Wing?" Rachel asked the girl as she walked over to the three people present in the room. Her voice came out croaked but stern and she hoped that the girl wouldn't think her mean; after all, it was for Miss Flamel's own good.
Actually, I don't really care...
Laura was startled to hear a voice behind her, calling her name. Turning, she didn't recognise who it was, at first, the person was so muddy, and wet. But wasn't that how she'd looked before Rachel had cast the spell on her to dry her up.
Ah...Rachel. That was who it was, barely recognisable through all the sludge. Laura ducked her head so the she wasn't looking directly at Rachel, but at the floor instead. Oooops...
"Erm..,yeah, you did." Laura hadn't intended her voice to come out so meek, she'd wanted at least a hint of dignity the first time she was reprimanded. Well, it looked like that plan had failed. On with plan two:
try not to get into trouble again...
"I'll go now then..." she muttered. Waving her hand behind her dejectedly, half-heartedly, to Rachel and Cy, Laura once more began to walk up the stairs, her head still bowed, until she was out of sight.
