 Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE!
Margaret was really trying to both listen to Valentina and look for her textbook. She heard the other girl say she was headed to her dorm, but then finally spotted the color of her transfiguration book, tucked between two others. Fishing the book out of her bag (she had to be sure that's what it really was), she tuned out the rest of what Valentina had said. "Found it!" she said happily, once she confirmed that it was actually her transfiguration book.
So she didn't think she was being rude or imposing at all when she smiled brightly back at Val and hurried after her. "I'm going that way, too!" she said, lugging her bag and book along. "We can walk together!" |
