 Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll
Sydney was in a pretty good mood today, not that it showed on her perpetually stoic expression. She preferred the cooler fall weather to the summer heat, and October meant that Halloween (the only holiday that got her genuinely excited) was just around the corner. She also rather enjoyed charms lessons… most of the time. She liked the destructive and/or bombastic spells but tended to struggle with the more delicate, mundane ones.
She made her way to the grounds, dressed in comfortable attire. Her idea of which wasn’t all that different from a school uniform. The button-down shirt was red instead of white; the Hogwarts tie was traded for a black bowtie, and she’d opted for trousers instead of a skirt and boots instead of mary janes. “Hello, Professor Feirgrund,” she greeted, nodding politely. Recognizing one of her fellow first years, she also acknowledged Greer with a nod before taking a seat.
Sydney wondered what spell they’d be practicing today, but she was more interested in the lesson location. Abandoned buildings were full of dark secrets! She tilted her head to one side, studying the building intently. What happened? Did somebody die there? Was it haunted? Her gaze shifted to the chest. Did that come from inside the hut? Was it cursed? Did it contain a ghost or some sort of angry creature? Likely not, as this wasn’t DADA, but it was fun to imagine!
