Whatever the reason, tiny, second year, Hope Evans was glad to be back.

She walked into the common room and in her hands she held a medium sized black box. It looked like just any ordinary black box and maybe it was just an ordinary black box. Or maybe it was something in the works? A surprise she was planning for someone who had inspired her in some way? Or was it something to do with something else? Only she knew!

She sat down on a vacant couch and placed to box upon her lap and opened it just the tiniest bit and stared in wide eyed amazement. She closed it just as fast as she opened it, not wanting anyone to see it and let slip what she was working on, she was certain though that it would be AWESOME!
