Dante left her arm and fluttered over to his cage which lay abandoned by the window.
Emily sat beside Claire and stroked her hair affectionately.
"Don't worry, you'll get used to being tired", she replied, a mischevious grin on her face.
"Well I left the Great Hall not long after you, but then the stair cases kept changing, and I didn't know where I was going. I ran into peeves... I fell through a secret passage that landed me in the dungeons so I had to go back up the stairs again... and I was lost. But then I saw another Ravie and so I followed them into the commonroom." Claire took a deep breath and sighed.
"Please don't ever leave me again". she said in a small voice. She could feel hey eyelids drooping so she sat up slowly, flung her legs over the side of the bed and went to lay on her own bed as she feared she would fall asleep on Emily's.
"When do classes start?" she finally managed to ask.
