(( after the above thread (http://community.livejournal.com/hogwarts_hocus/1264142.html?thread=64494606#t64494606) ends in gametime, which may take a while in realtime ... ))
The little ghost girl has a talent for flustering Silas. At first Camilla's a bit peeved by this. He's hers. But the ghost girl isn't doing anything wrong, really. In fact she's being rather funny, asking questions about the fairy tales as they're being read. The questions are pert and irreverent, and the flimsy logic of the stories can't hold up to them.
Even child Camilla can tell that Silas does not handle irreverence well.
As they argue, she's getting restless, in the way she always has. She wants to walk around. And she doesn't want people slowing her down or telling her where she can and can't go, either. Especially not the new man she doesn't know.
So, when she's sure no one is looking at her (why should they? she's been very quiet, unlike some people), Camilla slips away.
Soon she's far enough away she can't hear their voices any more. After that, she's in a corridor she doesn't recognise. There are some sets of armor on stands, which she stares at for a while, thinking of Ivanhoe. She ought to have asked the elf to bring them that book instead, maybe.
She tugs at the impromptu hem of her shortened robes. The stones of the floor are cold under her bare feet. "Maybe I'll go back home," she says, thinking aloud. It's unclear even to her whether she means Gryffindor Tower or Nana's house. Whichever, the direction she starts walking has to be the right one.
