Lessons where school robes were a non-requirement had to be up there with Felicity's favourites. Combine that with Care of Magical Creatures, the top choice she was interested in studying at university next year, and she was definitely in a pretty good mood. The lightened load that Valko's study timetable had given her had definitely helped, as had getting her first university acceptance letter and the subsequent kiss that she was trying desperately hard not to over-analyse, and so she'd been spending time with her Aethonan before the lesson.

Her pockets a few apples lighter than they had been when she left the Castle, Felicity drew her coat closer around her and approached the hay bales, taking a seat on one in the middle. "Hi, Professor," she said softly, a small smile on her face - no need for her to be much louder, considering she was the first person to arrive.
