Well, the courtyard should be a safe place to go. Or, she figured it would be. Then again, she didn't think the staircases would be unsafe, but they'd started moving on her and wouldn't stop. She felt so alone and so out of place at her new school. She still didn't know anybody, and she missed America and Ilvermorny. Most of all, she missed her mom and dad. It felt like a lifetime ago since she'd last seen them.

Sigh.

Torii sat down on an empty bench and stared out toward the fountain. She could so easily lost in her thoughts here. She drifted away to a time when there were so many things she took for granted. She just assumed life as she knew it would always be the same. She pictured herself being back at Ilvermorny instead of Hogwarts. She still secretly resented her new school. She hadn't wanted it. There was literally nothing about her life that was the same anymore.
