Hogwarts RPG Name: Louis Bracken Gryffindor Sixth Year x3 x1
| Sardines ♥ BHB ♥ Dallie ♥ Grumpy ♥ MY SUN AND STARS ♥ i love julia OOOOkaaaay. Natalie THOUGHT the new DUDES™ in town had made it clear not to MESS with them or to question their authority. Now, Natalie wasn't totally loving all of the new policies and things that were being done, but she wasn't about to risk a single hair on her head just to be a little ~rebellious~ or to be a loud mouth. To her surprise, it was a lot of Hufflepuffs that were receiving punishments. She expected it from Gryffindors. As a Slytherin, naturally, Natalie was just trying to get on with her day and save herself from any trouble.
#SELFPRESERVATION
So, while Natalie was momentarily distracted by that kid getting 150 points taken for who knows what (because she missed it), she quickly followed the Professor's next set of instructions. Because she didn't want detention, NOR did she want to face public humiliation.
After she found her image in the fire, Natalie returned to her seat and began sketching it into her notebook, quickly, so she wouldn't forget it. Then she opened her text to try and found out what it meant. After reading a bit, trying her best to tune out the other students, she discovered that leaves usually meant something along the lines of new life, just like the phrase "turning a new leaf". And to that she was pleasantly surprised, because that was precisely what she was trying to accomplish in this new term. Granted, she was having to make a lot more changes in her life due to the new rules in place, but... so far it was okay.
So, right under her sketch, Natalie jotted down her notes. Quote:
Natalie McKinley
7th year, Slytherin
Image: Falling leaves
Meaning: new life, turning over a new leaf
Interpretation: From what I read, the symbol of a leaf represents starting a new chapter in your life, a new outlook or a new life in general. I recently have been on a quest to "start over" or to leave behind last year and start a new, fresh year at school and this symbol confirms it. A new chapter is starting for me.
There. Hopefully that was substantial enough. Natalie had a feeling Fletcher didn't want to know too many personal details of her life and why she was starting anew. So she tucked away her things and then brought up her parchment to the Professor. "Here you are, Professor Fletcher," she said in the most calm and polite manner she could muster. Then she would wait to be dismissed. |
