Khhhhliiohhhh - kh . . .  Ssssuhn uhhhpinnng, suhhn dhh.  Sunnnn dahhhiininnng, suhhhhhn uhhhhpinnng, Khhhhhh - Khliohhhh?

"The sun is down-ing now. It'll be down and dark for a while. Then it will come up. And then when it's up that high," point, "then we can hang out again, okay? Then Cleo will come out of the castle."

Sssuhhhhn.  It points about where Cleo is pointing.  Khkhkhliohhh?

"Right! When the sun is there, then Cleo."

Khhhliohkhhohhhra khlio corhhha.

"Yup. Cleo and Cora can hang out tomorrow, when the sun is there."

Cora's kind of afraid of this, because the last time this happened it lost Cleo for such a long time, so . . . handspress?  In case that happens again?

Handspress!

Cora is certainly not going to be the one to break away!

Eventually Professor Dumbledore puts a hand on Cleo's shoulder and she turns to go with him into the castle.

Cora doesn't try to follow, this time.  It takes the sponge out of its sleeve to squish squish squish squish and dumps the ?here? back out onto the ground.  The goodsounds get louder and softer as it moves closer and farther from the radio; that's interesting enough to occupy it for a short while, and of course the sings themselves are nice and not boring to listen to.

If it didn't know Cleo was coming back, it would think when-the-sun-is-over-there was sooner than it expected, but because it thinks it does know that it instead feels like a VERY long time.  It decides to go look for the sun and see if it can carry it to the right spot, but the sun isn't in the area where the spell that tells it where it belongs is telling Cora that it belongs.  . . . Hm, last it knew, the sun was down, but sometimes things move around when it's not looking at them.  Could the sun be hiding Very Up?  Also does Cora belong Very Up or is that not allowed.

Cora is allowed to go quite Up.

Though there are other things preventing it.

Hhhhhrrrrrnnnnnnnfffffff.  ("So hey, about those foods . . .")

Hhhhhhhehhhlohh.  ("Yeah, those foods.  What about them.") 

Ghhhhrnnnmmmm?  ("And the Unpleasantness.")

Whhilllohhhhh.  ("Yeah.  What about them.")

Ghrrfffffffkhkhkhkhkh.  (". . . How do you do that?")

Ghhuhhhtjg.  (You're bad.  I won't tell you.  . . . But you shouldn't eat them.")

Khhhhnnnnnhh.  ("Is that how you get them to do that?")

Cora would like to leave actually.  Can it Up enough to leave the worst it behind? 

Yeah, it doesn't move to follow Cora.

Good.  Great.  It hates that it.  Up up up up up, into a cloud and then past it.  Interesting how the sponge gets squooshier again when it does that.  (And so does its robe.)  Is the sun here???

Nope. It is dark up there too.

Hm, maybe it can look around up here for it?  What if it drifts that way a bit.

Sure that's fNO too far it can't go all the way over there.
