"She hurt Willie!" Celandine whispered back to Daphne, not lowering her wand. Why? Why would someone hurt Willie? Just because he occassionally bit people, it didn't make him a bad Crocker!

She stared at the meaaan girl, "You hit him! He's only little!" She kept her wand level until the girl started walking away and then Cela rushed to Willie's side, kneeling down and looking at him in concern.

"You okay?" Starestare. "You don't look so good."

Cela wrinkled her nose then demanded, "Why are you stinky, Willie Crocker."

Regurgitation stinky, as it were.

She could hear Seb, her new buddeh, jabbering on about something in the compartment, though she was far too focused on poooooor mistreated Willie to make out what it was he was saying.

"I'll be with you in a minute Seb!" She called out cheerfully, "We can chat some more soon!"

Nice boy, that Seb.
