Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll Desiree was so glad for the change in weather! The chilly winter temperatures combined with the nighttime hours always made her want to burrow into a blanket fort and go to sleep! Fortunately there was no such sleepiness tonight as she made her way to the astronomy tower. The first thing she noticed upon stepping inside was the charmed pictures along the walls. She stared at one of the pictures until she saw what looked like a shooting star streaking across the page. Ooh, pretty!
The second thing she noticed? The hooting sound coming from the rafters. Oh hello, Mr. Owl, she thought, looking up to see if she could spot the owl. Speaking of which, was Professor Gert going to turn into an owl tonight too? That would be so cool! A lot cooler than turning into a wombat anyway. Owls were beautiful, dignified creatures; all wombats did was eat and burrow under things. “Hello, Professor Gert,” she greeted with a cheery smile. As she did so, she noticed the boxes on the professor’s desk. Ooh, what was in there? Eager to find out, she took her seat and greeted the other students who arrived before her (Jude & Sophia) with a friendly wave.
