Afternoon light streamed through the high arched windows of the dormitory corridor as Maddy approached, her riotous turquoise curls bouncing with each light step. A peculiar, muffled noise seeped from behind a nearby door, snagging her ear. Her bright blue eyes sparkled with instant fascination. With a whimsical tilt of her head, she drew a delicate china teacup from the brim of her hat and pressed its smooth rim against the wooden door like an auditory spyglass. Without warning, the door jerked inward with a sharp crack, sending the girl stumbling forward. She landed on the polished floorboards with a soft thud, her hat askew.
