 Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll
Desiree was not a fan of mornings or Mondays… or Monday mornings. Although part of her was tempted to sleep in, she decided today’s DADA activity was a good reason to get up early. If she learned something that would help her defend herself or others someday, it would be worth it!
She didn’t let the early hour stop her from dressing to impress. Sleepiness was no excuse for sloppiness! Today she was sporting her usual comfortable yet fashionable athleticwear: blue sweatshirt with a red rose graphic, matching blue and gold pants and sneakers, and a red rose hairtie holding her ponytail in place. She had to stifle a yawn as she walked into the room, but she still greeted the professor with a cheery smile. “Hello, Professor Khanna.”
“Hi, everyone!” Cue a round of friendly waves for the other students as Desiree made her way to the nearest dummy beside a much younger student (Cassie).
In stark contrast to most of the students, Norman was wide awake and not the slightest bit bothered by the hour. A morning person for most of his life, he was used to rising early. Alert and ready to help, he quietly slipped in the room. “Good morning, Dhruv,” he greeted his colleague with a nod. “Thought you could use an extra pair of eyes.”
He stood to one side, giving each student a polite nod in greeting as he passed. He was just observing for now. Not that he’d ever let on, but he was secretly enthusiastic about this little gathering. Defense Against the Dark Arts was a subject close to his heart - well, as much as it was possible for anything to be. He couldn’t wait to see how this would play out!
