 Partner anybody? Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE!
Mamie was not sure how she was just supposed to find a new partner and continue class like three of her friends hadn't just disappeared. Poof. Gone. Dead. That was three premature funerals Mamie would have to attend, if they were even allowed to have funerals for Muggle-borns nowadays.
But she still wasn't crying.
She was determined not to be next, because, she'd tried imagining her own funeral, and her family would not understand. She had to survive, then explain to them they needed to disown her and stay far far away from the wizarding world. So she looked around for a partner for this polyjuice practice, or whatever they were meant to be doing. Her eyes landed on that Gryffindor, Morgan, she thought, who was friends with Kale Trent...she remembered he had not been a good teammate in Muggle Studies. She did not want to be his partner.
And he was looking at...oh, Nemesis. Mamie looked solemnly at the Slytherin for a moment. No, she did not particularly want to partner with them, and have to tell things about herself, either. Though it would be fascinating to hear what they had to say after all this. And she was definitely not partnering with Bernadette. Not after the Gryffindor had almost gotten her the same fate as Moose, Ashley, and Minjae! And Kale. Twice!!
She heard one of the Flamsteed twins asking to go to the hospital wing. That...no, she did not want to leave the safety of the classroom. If he was going to stay, sure, she'd partner with him. But this Hufflepuff was not going to the Hospital Wing today.
She looked around some more. Did anybody need an almost thirteen-year-old for a partner?
