Maisie let the wind flow through her loose hair. She was delighted that Care of Magical Creatures was outside at night this time! Maisie's favourite subject was Astronomy, and her passion, the night sky. Another subject offering midnight lessons? It couldn't get better! She wondered what they would be studying. Maisie wasn't as into creatures as she was stars and planets. What kind of creatures came out at night? She hoped it was Mooncalves or centaurs. Things that made her think of the night sky.
She was wearing a long navy dress, with stars embroidered around the hem. The sleeves were long and loose and she could bunch the fabric in her fists. Over her dress she wore a winter cloak. Her dragonhide gloves were tucked into her bag. For now, she was wearing fluffier ones.
Maisie approached the drinks table happily. She chose hot chocolate, said a cheery,
"Hello, sir!" to the Professor, and sat down on a hay bale, admiring the pretty blue flames.
