 for Chellie Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE!
Margaret Turov abhorred normal study places. The library? Too quiet. The study room? Too stuffy. The common room was fine, but people were always coming and going, plus then she couldn't study with her Ravenclaw friends. And trust her, studying and practicing with Ravenclaws was much better than studying and practicing with nearly anyone else.
Ash and Evan just...knew things. It was nice to be around. It meant she didn't have to know so many things, and she could focus on the important stuff. Like...like, doing things.
Like today. She was going to be doing the patronus charm. Which, thanks to Misa, she could, like, sort of cast. But she was hoping Evan could, with his magic knowledge, knowledge of magic, big brain self... help her figure out what she was doing wrong. She wanted the animal kind of patronus.
All this to say, she'd arranged to meet Evan by the Weasley swamp, as it was too cold to practice outside for too long. She surveyed the floor just clear of the swamp, checking that if she sat she wouldn't sit in anything, and gathered her uniform robes around her knees. There. Sitting. And, while she waited, she got out her wand.
Sitting, and wand twirling. |
