ooc: Byeeeee, Ruthersss!

As had already been planned, Vianna didn't burn the picture or destroy it in some other way; instead, she hid it away somewhere in her room, where not even their little house-elf Costa would meddle around. She took the rest of this free time to leisurely get ready for the upcoming day. She took a long, warm bath before changing into a light, summery white dress a lot like the one she had wore a couple days before. The girl didn't usually wear white often since she had a bad habit of making a complete mess of herself, but today she wanted to look a little more presentable, since Mrs. Montgomery would be arriving in the early afternoon. Vianna couldn't help but smile at this thought, not only excited to see the woman again, but also glad to know that Ferris could finally be happy and in peace again. The girl then spent the next hour or so playing with her neglected squirrels (Fluffy ignored her when she called him over and turned his back on her whenever she approached him, clearly upset about the lack of attention he'd been receiving lately).
Feeling guilty about abandoning her squirrels, Vianna brought them out of the room that morning, to let them roam around the house even if it meant her mother was going to throw a fit when she saw them. She was in the kitchen eating a sandwich and giving bits of it to Fluffy and Amber when Ferris came down the stairs, already showered and changed. Vianna beamed at the sight of him. "Good morning, Professor!"
