Ellie would never admit that she completely freaked out a LOT when this chimaera decided it was a good idea to visit her in the dormitory, coincidentally making a fool of herself. She wouldn't. And besides, it was that lucky time of day when most people were lingering the halls, socializing after classes, so no one had made it up to the dorm yet. A few people were just entering the common room, but she had run past them, excited for her appointment with Professor Charming.

Anyway, after the creature started talking, she was fine. She shoulda known from it's silveryness that it wasn't real...but that didn't matter much now.

The lion head had told her to come here. And so here she was.

She looked around, and didn't see the Professor yet. Way to be UNpunctual, Mr. Still-not-in-her-good-book. Heh. She saw the chairs in the corner, and fell into one, not bothering to pick up a book. Books were gross. And she had a professor to teach her, so why bother.

The nice thing about these chairs, was that if she sat aaaaall the way back, her feet could dangle. Oh, how she missed dangling her feet. So, swinging them back and forth, she pulled a chocolate frog from her pocket and waited.
