 been here all along...sitting next to Carys Swedishfish Girl! Madame Librarian! Jess's Soul Sister! Sweetest Swede!
Sadly the Beauxbatons palace was as drafty and cold in winter as Hogwarts usually was. Cole sat in his seat next to his cousin Carys and stared dismally out the windows at the wailing blizzard. At least he wasn't out on the grounds on his way to the greenhouses or creature pen. What he did miss though like a burning ache was the non-existent quidditch practices. They didn't even have flying lessons to practice broom care and handling.
Sitting up straighter in his seat Cole tried his best to perk up as professor Sissay got the lesson started with a warm up exercise with arithmetic calculations. Oh please no, he wasn't good at those. Feeling his pulse rise along with his mood dropping like an inflated balloon Cole took a long breath as he sneaked a look over at Carys parchment. They didn't have to show their calculations to anyone, but professor Sissay. So no pressure right?
Fingers going slightly numb Cole gripped his quill and started to copy down the calculations on his parchment. Beads of sweat started to form on his forehead as he started to count.
Putting his quill down to wipe away some sweat Cole looked sideways at Carys and whispered "I hope we don't need to do anymore calculations. I really dislike calculations..........." |
