"Sounds interesting."

They finish eating and go their merry ways. Sadde's suitably enthusiastic during Charms about flying, and he's actually pretty good, even if not quite Harry Potter material. Books are grabbed after lunch, and class happens.

At dinner, Sadde is nowhere to be found, even though the other Slytherin firsties are already there. In fact, one of them—they might recognise him as the one Sadde was talking to during the Sorting Feast—is looking antsy and nervous when he spots the girls and makes a beeline to them after a moment's hesitation.

Karen is still nervous around strange Slytherins and Willow's an obvious Muggleborn, so Miranda addresses him. "Hello."

Permalink

He looks just as nervous as Karen! And he says, "H-hello. Um. You're Sadde's friends, right?"

Permalink

"Yes. Is something wrong?"

Permalink

He looks around as if to make sure no one's looking at him, then says, "Yeah, one of the older Slytherins, um, he jinxed Sadde."

Permalink

Miranda sighs. "Where is he and what was the jinx?"

Permalink

"He's in a room just by the DADA tower," the boy says, still looking a bit terrified and glancing over his shoulder every now and then.

Permalink

"...And what's wrong with him, is he speaking in iambic pentameter or stuck to the wall or what?"

Permalink

"I'm not sure, he was like floating, the older students said I wasn't supposed to worry about a mud—er, Muggleborn, and said it was for his own good or something and that if I told a Professor they'd do the same thing to me!" His voice becomes a squeak by the end of the sentence.

"Well, you haven't told a professor," says Miranda, "thank you for letting me know."

And Miranda gets up and heads for the Head Table.

The boy looks panicked, as if it had honestly not occurred to him that they might go to the Professors instead, but he decides there's nothing he can do about that so he leaves.

Permalink

Willow watches Miranda get up and decides to do the same, looking worried.

Permalink

Miranda goes up to Professor Spukhafte. "Professor, our friend was jinxed and he's near your classroom."

Permalink

The Professor peers at her. "Really? How inconvenient," she says, with a quite strong German accent, and sniffles. "Let's go check on him, ja?" And she gets up and walks quickly towards the exit of the Great Hall.

Permalink

Miranda follows as briskly as she can, which isn't very.

Willow is brisk! And is proportionally more likely to tripping and bumping and other similar sources of injuries.

Starting from the DADA classroom, there aren't many rooms that could be classified as 'nearby,' and Sadde is in one of them.

Floating upside down and giggling helplessly, his personal affects strewn all over the classroom.

The Professor flicks her wand, causing Sadde to drop, which makes him giggle even harder.

"And who might be responsible for this?" the woman asks.
Permalink

Sadde points to his mouth, opening it to show his tongue stuck to its roof, and giggling some.

Permalink

"You can't fix that yourself, huh?"

Permalink

He shakes his head, still giggling.

Permalink

The Professor's wand twitches once more, and Sadde's tongue is free.

Permalink

Sadde's giggles turn into howling laughter.

Permalink


"Are you under some kind of laughing hex or is this just really funny?"
Permalink

Sadde lifts his index and middle fingers, still laughing too much to reply.
