Mrs. Alex Turner *asterisks user* Secret Door Well, it was official. Summer was well and truly over.
Not literally, of course. It was only the beginning of September which meant they still had a few weeks left but they were back at Hogwarts. Which meant lessons. It also - of course - meant Scotland. Had summer ever begun in Scotland? Given by the slight chill in the air, Daisy would have guessed that no, summer always decided not to visit Scotland.
Still, there were a few silver linings.
Maxton really was not following her around and seemed to have hit the ground running in his quest to, she guessed, be the smartest person at Hogwarts ... ever. He actually had been sorted into Slytherin which was slightly surprising to her but, going by the letter she received this morning, not to her Mother.
Also, pears.
It wasn't like Daisy couldn't have pears anywhere else but, as she briskly walked towards the pear tree in the courtyard, she couldn't help but think that there was just something about these particular pears. She shooed away some excitable first years - going by the height - and grinned to herself once she finally found the tree.
At last, old friend! |
