 Open post! Anashti l Brat Pack l Sally & Dr. Finklestein
It was a good thing the sixth year had bundled so warmly for her first excursion into the currently bustling village, sidestepping all of her peers left and right so as not to bump into anyone. The air certainly had a bite to it, and as she moved to the right to avoid a younger year, Mouse pulled her coat even closer around her. She had yet to figure out the best way to make her winter attire Disney-centric, without coming across as Cruella De-Vil, so instead she simply wore a sky blue puffer jacket with a pair of thick wool leggings peeping out from underneath. She'd also dawned a beret to cover her hair and a thick scarf that she now adjusted to cover more of her face. She could have gone with a warming charm, but there was something comforting about being so bundled.
Though, the longer she chose to procrastinate the more likely it was she'd need her wand for that spell as well. A parcel was tucked under her arm and she should have been taking it straight to the post, but instead her feet took her to one of the open park benches where she sat and perched, parcel moving to rest atop of her lap. There was a smaller parcel in her pocket, a simple necklace she'd made to send to her maman, but the larger was to go to Dad and his new wife back home. She'd been quick to tell them both that she would be staying at Hogwarts through the holiday, though she had considered going back to see her cousin. But the idea of spending the first holiday with so much... newness, with other people was not something she was looking forward to.
So instead, there was a gift included in the parcel for her father to deliver to his nephew instead, the only one of the gifts she was pleased to be sending. Taking a deep breath of the cold air, she leaned more against the back of the bench she now sat, eyes silently watching the people walking by.
