Maud was still cramming her clothes into her tiny wardrobe. Id like to have a little twirl with it and see if I can liven up my hair a bit. Have you got that styling brush, Maud? she asked, letting herself in through the heavy oak door.

It only took a few minutes for Mildred to unpack her suitcase and put away her clothes, so she decided to nip along the corridor to Mauds room. In the early hours, when Mildred was often lying awake worrying about a looming potion test or some similar horror, it was always comforting to see her little flock come in from their nights hunting and jostle into position upside down. She was mad about animals and, although the bats didnt do very much except sleep all day - occasionally stretching a wing or shuffling along a bit - it was nice to know they were there. Mildred was delighted to find that she now had six bats roosting along her picture rail, instead of the usual three.
