Having been too frustrated to continue her walk around the grounds, Evelyn made her way up to the castle anyway, deciding that she was going to use that chocolate excuse. During her walk though, she had shaken, thrown, and banged the compass against ANYTHING...to try and get it to work.

But, unfortunately, it didn't.

She had thought it decided to work for a moment or so, but then figured that it was just moving from when she banged it on a tree. Muggles used these items didn't they? When they didn't have that one spell that wizards had that was pretty much like a compass itself? But you used your wand instead?

Well, NO WONDER she couldn't get this right. It was all..muggle-ish. She had a muggle item in her hand! MEEP! "Reverto!"

Wait...muggles used watches too didn't they!? She was surrounded by muggle things! At least these watches weren't all that bad. Wizards used them too if they wanted to, but the compass. Ohhhh ho the compass...she had to do something about that. Personalize it maybe. Make it, not so muggle looking. Like...

"Comletia." Cross, circle, and jab!

Like this! Now this, you wouldn't find in the muggle world unless a muggle happened to know that design from their muggleborn son or daughter. Still though, this was probably, one of a kind! A unique Slytherin compass, complete with letters and arrow thingies that pointed North. Or at least was supposed to point North. It was...pointing west?

Hmm, maybe she can blame all the magic around the school was effecting the compass signal. Did compasses have signals? Or...or she could blame the chocolate again interfering with her studies. That was a good excuse, yup. Huh, now which Professor to complain to?

Definitely the thought that was running through her mind as she made her way back into the castle's warmth, and away from the chilly winter weather air.
