Wendy sighed and tried it again, this time getting it right. "I did it!"

[Miranda_]

"See, it's easy when you know how," Michelle said with a smile.

[spirit_queen]

"Thank you!" Wendy sang.

Michelle smiled. She loved to teach.

After the dance, the holiday seemed rather dull to Wendy. And when Wendy was bored, she got nosey and/or annoying until she found something to do.

Thus is was she snuck up on Draven, though it wasn't too hard to do, considering that screeching up was open in his hands. She went up behind him and, to be sure he heard her, shouted, "YOU FIGURE IT OUT, YEEEET?!"

[Miranda_]

Draven jumped violently; as he did so, the egg, still open and screeching unmusically, leapt from his open hands and landed in the lake. With an icy glare at Wendy, Draven lay down along the bank and reached into the water to retrieve the egg. The water was cold, and he couldn't quite get his hand underneath the egg; only just touching it with his fingers. Draven had to put the side of his head under the surface in order to reach it.

His eyes opened wide, as he heard unearthly singing coming from inside the egg. He almost forgot to pick it up but remembered in time; as he brought the egg to the surface, the singing changed to screeching again. Draven shut the egg, and looked thoughtfully at Wendy. "Thanks for that," he said. "Annoying, but effective."

"I- I didn't mean to freak you out like that, but... well, it worked out kinda, right?" Wendy giggled.

[Miranda_]

"Yeah; but I think I'll find someplace more comfortable to listen to the egg rather than in the lake," Draven said. He pushed his wet hair out of his eyes with the hand not holding the egg.

"It's freezing. I'll take the egg into the Prefect bathroom with me tonight, instead."

"Good luck! I know you'll get it; you're very smart," Wendy said.

[Miranda_]

"Thanks. I expect I'll have to visit the library after I listen to the clue," Draven said. "Everything you can possibly find out is going to be there."
