::Status:: Complete

At this very moment, Olive Snook was walking down the hall in the F Dorm after having been escorted there by some very strange, rather nasty looking little creatures. She continuously gave them strange looks and clutched her skirts, sweeping them out of the way just in case one of them got a little too close. Thankfully, they'd left her once they arrived in the dorm. Clutching the journal to her bosom and the key in her fist she stomped down the hall. She was a little bothered that this dream had gone on for so long. And she was pouting.

She was sure that she'd seen Ned with Chuck out on the balcony when Digby had run through the doors. But she hadn't had time to go check, either. Besides, who would want to break up their little romance party? Not her! She frowned, her lower lip jutting out in a pout. Pigby snorted and trotted to keep up with her. Finally she arrived at the door with the same number as that on her key. She double checked and then stuck the key in the lock. She tried to turn it, but it wouldn't move. She pulled it out and again checked the number. 126 on the door and 126 on the key. It was the right room, sure enough.

She set her jaw, breathing heavily out of her nose before jamming the key into the lock once more. She turned with all her might and then put the journal down and tried with both hands. Nothing. Frustrated she took a step back and kicked the door. Still nothing. In a bit of a rage she yelled at it. "Stupid door! Open or I'll turn you into firewood! See if I don't!" When it still did nothing, she beat her fists against it in a futile effort to get it to budge. She tried wiggling the key again and it still did nothing. Harumphing, she leaned her back against it and crossed her arms over her chest. Her foot caught the journal and slid out from under her, landing her on her tush.

Frustrated, confused, angry and close to tears she dropped her head onto her arms and tried to get a grip. And that's when she noticed that footsteps had come close to her and then stopped.

There she went again. She had no idea how very much he did recoil when she mentioned the word magic. Especially in his hands. Emerson calling it 'the magic finger' had never really helped, either. Ned's own aversion to magic didn't really go with the title that was given to his little talent. If you could call it that.

Still, he smiled. After all, it wasn't her fault. "I can try?" he offered, making the short walk back to the dorms with her by his side. Of all the places, ironic that she wound up right across the hall from him. Ironic, or someone's idea of a crazy joke. It really was like being at home again. In a sick, somewhat scary way. "I've never really been good with home repairs and all that. Usually just call the Super. I wonder who we'd call here..." It was weird, thinking they didn't even know who to get in contact with if something went terribly wrong. And, from the little he'd experienced in the last two days, things were very, very likely to go wrong.

"I guess... I mean, if we can't get it open..." Well, he couldn't exactly leave her out there in the hallway, could he? "You could stay in my room for the night. Just till we get it sorted, I mean."
