 Prof Wayland, Stas and Charlie /feel free to say hi! Little Fox | ½ of Lauralie | Ravenclaw with a Hufflepuff heart and a Gryffindor soul | #HouseNATARIANA
By the time Tessa arrived at the bonfire - ahead of her best friend, Soraya, in order to save them seats by the fire - a reasonable amount of people had turned up.
Memories of last term, in all honestly, hadn't lingered in Tessa's mind. Whether that had been a conscious choice on her part, who knows, but it didn't really matter. This year was going to be better. It was the mantra she'd been repeating all summer. This year was going to be BIGGER and it was going to be BETTER and she was going to be positively #FIERCE. She only had two years left at Hogwarts before she entered......the real world. *shudder* And, so far, this term had featured love-potion shenanigans, which, other than brief worries that Alfie would be super mad at her, had been hilarious.
Overall, she had high hopes for this year.
Tessa meandered between people, smiling and waving at a few and stopping to talk to others. She noticed Professor Wayland nearby. "Having a good evening, Professor? Nice fire," she said with grin and watched the flames dance for a second. She assumed that her Head of House was the one to start the fire. "Oh, Stas, hey!" She caught her dormmate's arm as she walked by and greeted her with a hug. "This is all great!" She was especially looking forward to roasting some marshmallows. It was the little things in life, wasn't it? "Talk later?" She asked, knowing that, at events like this, Stas was in Prefect mode and had a lot of people to talk to. They could talk any day or night of the week in their dorm if they wanted.
The blonde needed someone else to talk to while she waited for Soraya to show up. She scanned the faces of nearby people, looking for someone she knew but instead landed on a frowning young girl. Why was she frowning? Ok, so she wasn't frowning anymore, but she was still all alone. If she had to guess, she would probably say that the girl was a first year, so maybe she hadn't met that many people yet. With that in mind, Tessa approached her (Charlie) and sat down on the hay bale next to her. Perfect, really, because Soraya was expecting her to save a seat by the fire. "Hey," she said, grinning at the younger girl, "I'm Tessa. Are you enjoying the bonfire?" |
