Text Cut: Tora

She wasn't the only one who was having a terrible day.

After that humiliating conversation with Captawesome Ella, Forrest couldn't hang out in the common room. He sneaked out as soon as he had the chance, and found himself wandering aimlessly in the corridors, replaying the conversation and wondering whether he really could play Quidditch.

That is, until he realised where he was headed to. How Tora was standing there. And how the armour tried to kill her.

He gasped and before he had time to think, his legs were running as fast as they could. She couldn't die! He was going to save her! The distance was short, but it was also long enough to let her cast the spell and sit down. At that precise moment, he jumped and tried to knock her out of the range like they did in movies when a train/car/truck was speeding towards the girl and the boy jumped, grabbed her around the waist and brought her out of the way ~~to win her heart~~. Only, it didn't happen like that this time. He idiotically landed next to her, because she wasn't where she was supposed to be. He landed hard. His knees scraped the ground, and his wrists had to take all the weight.

"Argh!"

He rolled over, and just lay there whimpering.

He couldn't decide which event was more humiliating, but he knew that only the ground's swallowing him could save him now. Could she at least not... laugh?

She didn't normally admit her fears, even to herself, but she had had a bad day. Having no strength left to remain in denial, she now enjoyed the empty gallery. Spreading out her arms wide to take up as much space as possible in the wide wide hall, she closed her eyes and breathed out a frustrated sigh. Plop. Her arms dropped to her sides and she looked down at the ground to trudge forward. This was how her bad day went spiraling into worse. She wasn't looking where she was going, so when one of the suits of armor that lined the corridor moved into her path, she didn't see it until the last moment. At which time she barely had enough time to dodge the sword coming down on her head be dropping to the floor. So the suit of armor had thought she was attacking it. Wonderful. "Arresto Momentum!" she said the charm without thinking as the sword came in for another strike. Luckily all that charms practice she had to do for homework paid off as the entire suit stopped mid swing. She heaved a half hearted sigh of relief. This day really wasn't going well at all. Why should she even bother moving? She was already sitting on the floor anyway. So she stayed where she was, not bothering to move. Gram would have scolded her for moping a bit, but hey- that was allowed every now and them... right? She wasn't the only one who was having a terrible day.
