"Your... wrist?" Professor Byrne inquired, too tired to hide the confusion from her face. She swiftly recalled the events of dinner, and her perplexed expression swiftly changed to one of concern. "Again? Did going to the Hospital Wing last time help any?" Without asking, she took the girl's wrist in her hand, being careful not to touch the burning tattoo. "Why does this make you think that your parents may have broken out?"
If Minty wasn't in so much pain, which was evident, Beatrice would have simply taken her to the Headmaster - she was still planning on doing that; but Minty wasn't in trouble - she wanted the girl to tell the Headmaster what she'd just told her about her parents possibly breaking out of Azkaban.
Sydney lay face-up in bed, staring at the canopy above. Exhaustion tugged at her limbs, but her mind was racing. I'm in Gryffindor, she was still thinking; incredulous. The Sorting Hat put me in Gryffindor. Was it a mistake? I can't truly be brave; I nearly had a panic attack just sitting in front of everyone in the Great Hall. Does the Sorting Hat make mistakes? She was torn out of her thoughts by a tapping on the window from outside. A large barn owl was perched on the ledge outside the window. I'd recognise that pale heart-shaped face anywhere. A small smile graced Sydney's lips as she reached over to let the bird inside. Cicero shuffled in, flapping up to land on the perch Sydney had set out for him on the nightstand.
After another half-hour of restless tossing, Sydney figured it would be best to just give up. Sitting up, she took her wand from the nightstand and whispered "lumos". It was probably one of the only charms she was capable of preforming without something going horribly wrong. She took out her sketchbook and a pencil, but this time they were accompanied by a blue quill with a rather long shaft. She penned in the sketch of a lion she'd made during the Sorting, being sure not to do the head just yet in case it decided to be noisy. The drawing lashed its tail, clearly upset about its lack of a penned-in head, but Sydney whispered to it that it would get one tomorrow. Though logically, she knew her drawings were simply enchanted due to the blue jay quill she'd used to ink them in, they seemed alive to her.

Killian fed Amelia and made sure she had enough water before digging into his supply of desserts. Of course, he couldn't finish them all in one night, but he ate a couple of cookies as well as a treacle tart and some no-melt ice cream. Despite all of the sugar he'd consumed, he found it relatively easy to fall asleep. Amelia leapt onto the bed and curled up beside him, her rhythmic purring easing him into a deep slumber.

"Yes," Jackie confirmed. Tenderness pulled at her heart as she gazed around the common room. I'm home. The perfumes form the various plants adorning the room caressed her senses, bringing a comforting feeling of calm. "Well, I'm exhausted; I'm going to go catch some shut-eye," she remarked, turning to face Atsuko. "I can show you to your dormitory first if you wish. What year are you again?"
