After rushing down from the Ravenclaw Common Room Allison wondered if she should have left a note for Ivory, indicating she was already down in the Great Hall. However she immediately discarded the idea. If she had woken up and looked over at the other girl's bed and seen no one, she would have automatically assumed the girl was already eating breakfast.

Taking a seat at her House Table Allison looked around where to start. She usually had pancakes every morning, however this time she'd try a bit of the porridge. Taking her bowl she served herself and wondered if Arya was up already.

Taking a spoonful of porridge into her mouth Allison began to playfully try and catch her mother's gleaming white butterfly. She certainly missed her brother and mother, however writing to them everyday would only prove that perhaps she hadn't really been ready to set off to Hogwarts on her own. Not that her mother could have come and set camp on the Hogwarts doorstep, but she'd have certainly boughten at least a cottage to live in Scotland.
