Celia laughed, a soft, almost joyful sound. One would have expected an evil cackle to follow the completion of her little scheme, but such a laugh coming from the chubby, jolly looking deputy head, even in her present costume, would have been out of place. No, a light, happy laugh, as if laughing at the antics of a cute puppy, with that same goofy grin that so disarms newcomers to the college, was what issued from her lips.<br/><br/>She had seen Astrid swing and had let go of Effie's hair just in time. "Good. Now I want you to help Effie up, and apologise to her, tell her you are very sorry for hurting her and it was all your fault, that you do not consider yourself better than her, and that you will stop having a backbone very soon."<br/><br/>Celia loved giving the students impossible demands. Because they would then need punishing when they failed to obey.
