Bertha danced down the corridor and, on seeing Amelia stood outside the common room,shouted and ran towards her friend and hugged her happily, "Ameeeeeelia! Let's go quickly!" She hooked Amelia's elbow in hers and steared her towards the stairs.
Amelia pranced down the stairs, arm still hooked in Bertha's. "You know, Eddie told me I was boring," She moaned, "I'm not boring, am I?" She turned her head to Bertha, "Even if I am, he has no room to talk, threatening to lock me in a dungeon." She snorted indignantly.
Bertha smiled happily as they emerged into the night air and unhooked herself so she could twirl on the spot and stopped, facing Amelia. "Eddie can be very silly, that's all. I'm sure he can't mean it. You don't think he's really going to try and come is he?" She asked, as though the very thought of him interrupting their night out was the most ridiculous idea she had ever heard.
"Good. He's so weird, I don't like either of those things." She said, smiling and shaking her head. Then an excited grin spread over her face again. "Oh my gosh Amelia lets race to the gate!"
It took Bertha a second to realise what had just happened before she sped off in pursuit. She giggled loudly as she ran, flailing her arms above her head. You'd think it was because she was excited but this was her general running style.
Bertha shot through the gate a little while after, she wasn't a very fast runner, too much air resistance. She stopped dead, looking confused, "Amelia?"
"AAAAARGH MONSTER!" Bertha jumped back, almost tumbling backwards as a result but somehow she managed to keep her balance. When she saw who it was she clutched her chest with one hand grinning, "Gosh, Amelia you are so scary."
"Ameeeeeelia! Let's go quickly!"
She hooked Amelia's elbow in hers and steared her towards the stairs.

"Of course you aren't boring! You know I don't like boring things and I love you, Amelia!"
She announced.

"That must be it, yes."
Then she pointed down the dusty road,
"Look, the three broomsticks!"
