It was simply an accident that she was on this floor. But Cora didn't mind. She was having another good day. She had made friends. Yes, she finally had friends, at least by Cora's definition.
As Cora smiled, she thought about Nora a bit. They said they were going to meet up at some point, but Cora hadn't seen her so far this year. She hoped Nora was doing well, and continued skipping, humming quietly to herself.
With Elijah still safely hidden in his favourite pocket of her robe, Nora decided against going outside that day, but instead wander around the castle, starting with the very familiar dungeons and going upstairs, one floor at a time. Heh, the girl spent so much time around the dungeons to get used to the creepy halls that she neglected the other floors, which were quite new to her. Well, she'd done her exploring at some point, but she'd still get lost if she walked around the upper floors for too long.
Once she got to the second floor, she giggled as she passed the entrance to the Headmaster's suite, but soon enough sighed, remembering that they now had a Headmistress, whom she hadn't really seen, other than the start of term feast. Well, she only hoped the woman wasn't a Dragon Lady number two.
... but something caught her attention, making her forget about everything that ran through her mind right then. "
Cora!" She knew her jaw would soon hurt because of that grin, but she didn't caaaaare. Her name twin was there! "
You're here!" Captain Obvious. Hopefully, Cora knew what she was talking about. She remembered the time they met during the holiday, when Cora hadn't been sure that her mother would let her come to Hogwarts, but there she was!
