Usually, she held herself up with much more dignity - you know head tilted up, back straight, perfect curls and all that - but she just felt absolutely exhausted at the moment. She had been up all night, studying when she could have been sleeping soundly, and now she was paying the cost with dark bags under her eyes and her already pale skin - looking even paler at the loss of sleep, already going at 2 nights in a row.
The young snake then checked her watch and stared at it uncomprehendingly for a few minutes - here she was, checking to see of she would have enough time to squeeze in a short nap, but unable to do so since her brain stopped working, again due to the lack of sleep.
"I need to get some rest." She groaned softly as she massaged her temples "or a sugar rush."
Beezus pulled the strap of her back pack tight on her right shoulder but as she felt the weight of her books inside it pull her back, she then just allowed it to slip down. By now, she was just holding one strap of it while it dangled leveling with her feet. As much as the other students was, she too was tired and exhausted. This term's finals were seemingly draining the magic out of her and she needed an energy boost.
Not that it required to be in the form of a potion or something materialistic, all she needed was some talk of encouragement from someone she knew she could lean on. And well, that someone happened to be a Slytherin. This was the reason she was half walking-half running on the Dungeon Corridors right now. Hoping to catch up to the someone whom she learned just made her way down to their Common Room.
Maybe she was just fast, or that person was just too slow because at the moment, Beezus was seeing her silhoutte a few steps ahead. With excitement filling her in, the young eaglette ran to the girl and hugged her from the back.
"Caaaaaaaaaaaaaass!" she exclaimed.
