Which likely led to most people not recognizing her.
And that was FINE BY HER!
Finally making it to the barn Dora stopped to see Cherry first and then moved down to the thestrals to Sam. Sidling up beside her the blonde heaved a sigh. "Hey, " was all she said. Depression. What could you do?
Sam smiled as Ollie emerged from the warmth of her pocket, and climbed upwards towards her shoulder. He didn't venture any further though, since she already held out a hand to one of the approaching thestrals. Really, she should have thought to bring some meat along for them. She couldn't imagine they got the most attention from other students; she seemed to remember not many others in her class could see them.
And there was a Dora. "Hey," Sam replied, a glance to her side quickly confirming the downcast tone in the Gryffindor's voice. The limp hair; and blotchy eyes. Sam hated to see it, and at the moment struggled to find any sympathy in her heart for Mr. Umbridge. Barely more than she had for her own father. This whole thing made her feel angry and disappointed. And above all else, confused. Why would he want to pull her out when she was doing so well? When she so desperately wanted to stay?
"Shall we go see Cherry?"
