The boy stood there with his wand still raised, eyes wide, wondering if he was so lucky to hit his target. If he wasn’t then he most certainly was doomed, but then… the girl just stood there. Got fidgety and squirmy-like, and then–
“Hah!” Triumph flooded his expression at her little giggle, and before long she was utterly overcome with it. That’s the funny thing about laughing, isn’t it? If you hear one person laughing hysterically you can’t help but laugh too. So Max let out his own little giggle, but it was more devious than it was uncontrollable. Finally– escape! And she didn’t even know his real name to boot. He might just get away with this!
Max skirted past the girl with his back pressed against the opposite wall, grinning like a maniac as he whisked by. Then, he took off full throttle down the corridor. Freedom! He was getting away with it! A little hiccups here and there, but he used his wand and successfully unlocked the drawer and subdued the interloper! Tao wouldn’t believe it when he told him. Soon enough he’ll be in the common room and he’d find Mimi or Sloane and he’d offer her candy and–
“Oooooof!” Max had just turned the corner when he careened, face-first, into something soft but extremely solid. The momentum sent him ricocheting back, landing hard on his rump so he could only stare up at none other than Professor Lissington himself.
