((IC hiatus/canon-update post, co-written with Brenda-mun. Cut for tl;dr because Jaime-mun can't be concise EVER.))
"C'mon!" Brenda said, dragging Jaime down the hall. "It'll be fun!"
This, Jaime had learned, was a phrase that usually led to incipient doom. Or punching. "Yeah, for the one who isn't being slammed onto the floor repeatedly." But he continued down the corridor with Brenda, heading in what they thought was the right direction. "What floor's this Room of Requirement supposed to be on again?"
Brenda consulted a sheet of scribbled notes. "Seventh, I'm pretty sure. Across from a tapestry of dancing trolls."
"A tapestry of... oookay." He shook his head. "Least it'll be easy to spot." ( Of course, just by saying that, he'd jinxed it. )
( Raven to Lola )
He folded the paper up and waved it at Sancho. "Give this to Lola, okay? In one piece." Sancho cawed and launched himself off the chair, snatching up the paper with his talons as he fluttered out the window.
Milagro noticed the movement out of the corner of her eye. "Hey! What was that?"
Jaime didn't respond. He just stared out the window, watching the raven glide off into the afternoon sun. He stood there, watching, until Sancho was nothing more than a faint black speck on the horizon and then was gone entirely from sight.
