"The Guardians have no authority here." retorted Carolyn coldly. "Propitiations and pantomine won't help you, by the way. You're still getting a detention, regardless of your heroics. Next time the three of you want to get into fights, do it in the afternoon. Since I'm the prefect here, [i]I'll[/i] take her to the infirmary."
Carolyn placed a firm hand on Mable's shoulder and steered her towards the gates which slowly creaked open, allowing the entire group passage into the grounds.
"I'll see the two of you in the kitchens at 6am tomorrow, that's where you'll be serving detention." she called back to Leo and Ashlynn. "If you don't show up, you'll get a week's worth of bathroom duty. Now get to your dorms."
Still with a guiding hand on Mable's shoulder, the two traversed the cobbled, winding path to the White Mage guild and entered the imposing building; the periodicity of their footsteps as they made their way to the infirmary emitted the only sound in the otherwise silent corridor.
