He raised a muddy hand to his face and wiped some of the excess mud away so he could see. He could FEEL the hardened mud by his hand, but again, Sutton was the one who he was thinking about. He scrambled to his feet and without even thinking, just grabbed her around the waist and half carried her to the grass so she could focus on the shield. Once they were out of the danger area, he let go and sat down, staring at the tree that had assaulted them. How many times had Sutton saved him again? "Thanks."
As they both made it safely to the grass, Sutton just fell to the ground. When he thanked her, she just nodded her head.
"You, too," she said, closing her eyes as she tried to catch her breath. Seventh year boys were heavy. Faaaar to heavy for her liking. Maybe she needed to start building her muscles or something if this was going to become a habit. Without thinking, she wiggled her toes slightly, and a slow smile spread across her face before she began laughing.
"My... My shoe is still in the mud," Sutton explained through her laughter. This whole thing waaas pretty funny if you thought about it...
