Miranda was looking kind-of dazed. Though, Wesley reasoned, she'd be dazed if somebody fell on her too. Adding the middle and ring fingers to the index, the Hufflepuff was wondering if she should ask, 'how many fingers am I holding up?' when Miranda suddenly sat up.

In the following words uttered by the older girl, Wesley opened her mouth, then closed it, then opened it again, brain and tongue working to slowly to formulate answers before Miranda hurried onto the next comment or question.

"I'm so-"

"I don-"

"Sor-"

By the last comment, she was just staring horrified and open-mouthed. "No I-," she paused, waiting for an interjection that did not arrive, "really don't wa-errr-We can tape it! I have Spello-tape, and we can tape it back onto your head!" Wesley waved the hair wildly, "It'll reattach!"

Wait. Could Spello-tape do that?

Of course it could. It was magic.

Oh god the man had a power rush, she could feel it.And then when her friend mentioned Dominic it was the icing on a very bad cake.She was just about to say "He did what?!" when Wesley's attention was again taken to the top table.

Following her gaze Sarah could see Dominic walking back towards them, perfectly fine.Screwing her eyebrows together, Sarah turned back to look at Wesley but came face to midriff with her.Tilting her head back to look at her face, she could see the tears start to gather in the little second year, and knew it wouldn't be long before they fell.What Sarah didn't count on was Wesley herself falling...

Spotting Miranda out the corner of her eye, Sarah turned slightly to face her and smiled, shrugging her shoulders at the same time to show she had no idea what was wrong.And then it happened almost as if it was slow motion....Wesley fell off the bench.Sarah's mouth flew open as she watched helpless.Her friend went tumbling onto their fellow Huffie, and both landed in a heap on the floor.She scrambled out of her seat to assist them, and was even more shocked to see that Wesley had a handful of Miranda's hair. "Oh my god!" she exclaimed, clapping her hand to her mouth.That must have hurt.As Wesley babbled on about Spello-tape Sarah held out both her hands to help onto their feet. "Are you sure you're both ok?" she asked, full of concern.
