Charlie felt sure it had taken him longer than usual to get over his last bout of illness, and that was even with the precaution of having missed so much school of the end of his first year. He'd thought it was all done and dealt with, but the new term had again brought him within reach of other students' germs, not to mention cold and flu season being right around the corner if not already here, and suddenly he found himself with a familiar cough and an even more familiar wheeze in his chest. No doubt more was on the horizon. Lame.

For the time being, Charlie had taken to wearing a regular muggle mask when he was around tons of other kids, like in lessons, because the magical equivalent wasn't suitable for him. Even though he still thought it shouldn't be up to him to take all these precautions, he did it anyway. The lung stuff was aggravating, painful, and no small inconvenience, and he didn't fancy yet another long St Mungo's stay so soon after the last. The sooner he got over it, the better.

As he entered the classroom, masked up but otherwise in uniform, Charlie gave Feirgrund a salute in greeting, before taking up a seat at random that happened to be near one of the other second years. Ary, or something. Charlie gave him a nod of acknowledgement, glanced over at the older girl already seated, then turned his attention to the box beside him. For a moment, he thought about opening it up to see what was inside - there was nothing, no notice or anything, to tell him not to - but ultimately found his curiosity lacking. The contents would be revealed soon enough, so why bother checking it out now?

So he left it, and lounged back in his chair instead, arms folded, tilting ever so slightly on the back legs of his chair, waiting for things to get kicked off.
