Actually, it was really pretty short. Wake up, yaddah yaddah, eat, walk, and um, here I was! Look, I know you sense the impending enthusiasm that must be racking my innards (cough cough) but to tell you the truth, it was a pretty boring day as well. So far I uh...still didn't know anyone. It was quite unfortunate, really.
Speaking of unfortunate facts.
My music player ran out of charge and (unsurprisingly) there weren't any plugs in Hogwarts. I hadn't bumped into either of the two people I've met. I haven't met anyone knew. I lived in a stinky cellar. And was wearing green (ew). I was surrounded by Brits.
And, most importantly, someone stole my coffee supply.
So, overall, I was in a bit of tetchy mood. Tetchy or not tetchy, I plumped my bum down to a large and seemingly...aggressive tree, and started writing little sonnets about Cinderella, Ice-Men, Bunnies, and an aggressive tree named Jerry who wanted to be a cat.
Somehow she always ended up here.
The days at Hogwarts were long, depending on how you looked at them; wake up early, go to the Great Hall, don't get lost finding your classes, stay awake during class, and then wander aimlessly around the grounds or the castle until dark.
She had mostly kept to herself the past few days. It's not that she was shy, but over the years, she just hadn't made many friends and she hadn't seen any of the ones she had. It gave her more time for classwork and scribbling in her journal.
But no matter how her days went, the Whomping Willow was the one place she always found herself at this time of day. She tugged her bag on her shoulder, getting ready to toss it on the ground at her usual spot, when she looked up and saw...someone in her spot. Humph. This was not okay.
She tossed her curls over her shoulder and began walking over to the spot, ready to demand they move, until she noticed who it was. A grin appeared across her entire face and her eyes lit up.
"Sylvester?!" It took everything in her not to throw her arms around him right then.
