 Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE!
Mamie's heart was pounding by the time she got to the courtyard, so much so that she was starting to actually be alert, too. And she was realizing...wait, what time was it?? She wiped at her eye with her sleeve, trying to understand what was going on. It was cold, she had pulled on some shoes and socks but hadn't bothered to grab a sweater.
If she had been more alert or less worried about Rosier and his scary followers, she would have been worried about how silly she probably looked in her pajamas, with her hair tousled in all sorts of directions. Sleeptime was the only time she willingly wore her house colors, and last summer she had her babulya make her some black and yellow striped pajamas. She probably looked a bit like a bumblebee. And she'd grown so much since September that her pajama pants legs and the sleeves of her top were both too short.
She crossed her arms and hurried over to stand next to Moose. She wanted to ask him and Ashley and Professor Schmoe what was happening, but...best to be silent. |
