Theme # 59: Ignore


Sunlight streamed in through the wide window, and Apolline rubbed her eyes as she sat up. Had she overslept?

She had. Trying to ignore the guilt she felt - she had promised her mother she would help her tidy the house, this morning - she rose to her feet. Which was when an owl flew into the bedroom.

"Hi, Turtleneck," Apolline said, randomly naming the owl she did not know. "What do you have, there?"

'Turtleneck' apparently had a letter on him. Apolline detached it from his leg, flipped open the envelope -- and a little piece of silver metal fell out.

"Prefect?!"
