<strong>Whops</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Clobber</strong><br />

the labyrinth of hallways <strong>and</strong> stairwells she wracked<br />

her brains as <strong>to</strong> what she could possibly have done<br />

that would merit a beating.<br />

She had started the day with her normal<br />

routine of waking at dawn <strong>and</strong> meeting up with Ms<br />

Lummell for a three mile run. <strong>The</strong>y had then taken <strong>to</strong><br />

the tennis court <strong>and</strong> worked on her serve for an hour.<br />

When they were finished she had changed <strong>and</strong><br />

attended assembly, which had proved mercifully<br />

uneventful. Afterwards she had returned <strong>to</strong> her study<br />

<strong>to</strong> work on a paper on Thomas a Becket <strong>and</strong> the<br />

Constitutions of Clarenden. Debs was an avid<br />

for a short break in the cafeteria she hadn’t left her<br />

study.<br />

Debs approached the heavy wooden door at<br />

the end of the corridor. Once she reached the<br />

entrance <strong>to</strong> the library she turned <strong>to</strong> face the wall,<br />

her head.<br />

minimum of fifteen minutes before the House Captain<br />

would arrive, leaving her an appropriate interval <strong>to</strong><br />

ruminate over the imminent future of her bumbags.<br />

Although the seventy-two hours that had elapsed<br />

since her double bare bender from Ms Law<strong>to</strong>n was<br />

adequate time for a whop-hardened veteran like Debs<br />

<strong>to</strong> make a full recovery she was less than enthused by<br />

the prospect of embarking on another licking in quite<br />

such short proximity.
