Then there were exams and all the usual things that came with being a professor.

Who said being an adult mean one was living the dream?

Sometimes, they wished that they could be a teen again, back at Hogwarts as a sixth year with Grayson and the rest of the Slytherin gang. Unfortunately, since that couldn’t happen, they’d just have to settle with the memories. Dhruv’s mind was quite fixed on their sixth year days as they soaked their feet in the waters of the Black Lake.

Such fine days those were.
Rowan was still trying to find her footing at Hogwarts. The first week had been quiet since the sorting ceremony, which suited her well enough for the most part.. and the common room was.. nice. Just.. it was a little repressive. The dim, cold lights, the stone floors and the murky waters of the lake seen from the windows, although enthralling at first, was a bit of a downer to your mood if you spent too long within the common room's confines without any sunlight.

She had ventured out to look at the lake from a different vantage point, and it was truly beautiful from outside in the grounds. She breathed in the fresh air feeling renewed.

But she wasn't alone. Her gaze rested on one of the professors --Defence Against the Dark Arts, if she remembered correctly? (that's what she'd overheard another student saying at the feast)-- who was relaxing, soaking their feet in the lake.

A soft smile. “Hello Professor.” She greeted. “You're braver than I am. That water looks so cold.”
