Inside were a few school books and one, which she pulled out, that was just in there for Tora's reading enjoyment. She still hadn't had the time to finish Up, Up, and Away, an educational yet fictional astronomy novel that she had bought to for the train to Hogwarts.
She sighed happily. Finally a nice free moment when she could read. Since the common room was a bit busy (and she didn't feel like solving any ridiculous riddles just to get in), Tora had decided to sit outside with her book. As for giving up the seclusion of being inside... well she didn't mind it if she was interrupted. After all it was such a nice day.
Forrest was yet again wandering on the grounds. He didn't have any fancy bags to carry cool books. Instead, he was wearing his sneakers and comfortable clothes as if he was going to do some sports. Well, he just
might if he found the correct people for it. There wasn't anyone particular in his mind, though, or any particular place. Although... he figured he might as well see the fountain in the courtyard first, because he
wanted to check by himself whether everything really had been returned to Hogwarts liked it. So he walked towards the courtyard and figured he might as well jog later.
Or maybe never.
Before his eyes settled on the fountain, he saw Tora-the-Gryffindor-hater, he walked up to her and just stood beside her head looking down. He didn't want to really bug her, but he figured he ought to greet her since they were both second years and
she was the clever one to maybe do his homework could be friends.
...he was going to remain silent until she greeted him first though. She was reading. He had manners.
