Tabitha dragged her feet as she walked down the stairs into the common room that lay below. She had had a long day and was not looking forward to the homework she had left to do. In her arms she carried her transfiguration books as well as a fresh sheet of parchment, a quill, a jar of ink and an Acid Pop. Tabitha saw that her usual chair by the fire place was empty and promptly sat down and lay her school books on the table next to her. Her cat, Liquorice, jumped onto her lap and licked her face. "Not now darling, I am trying to work," Tabitha told the feline as she looked through her Transfiguration notes. |
