Laurie followed Rave and the server girl up to the rooms. It was getting quite late, and though there was talk of singing in the common room, the call of sleep was too strong. Before they entered their respective rooms, Laurie paused for a moment, her forehead wrinkled from thought.
"Rave," she spoke, still in deep thought. Rave halted at the door post, looking back curiously. Laurie raised her head and looked intently into Rave's face. "I've been thinking about what you told me, about how you don't know your family." Laurie paused, and she nodded, encouraging her to go on.
"Well, I've just remembered the Rangers, they seem to know most of what goes on here in the North. Perhaps they will know something about your family..." Laurie added quickly, not wanting to get Rave's hopes up too high, "It is a long shot, and may come to nothing, but I just thought I would mention it."
