A Small Break

[Sara Benivieni]

Sara was hungry. With all of this studying and other reading she was doing she got hungry a lot easier, and more often during a day. But what made her stomach grumble loudly that day was a matter of her having forgotten to eat at lunch and dinner. She had been doing all of her homework and catching up the work that she had missed, that the thought of going to eat something had not even crossed her mind. Sara shut her book closed and placed it in her bag before she quietly exited the common room, not wanting to be heard because she wasn't in the mood to confront people she didn't like. It wasn't bed time yet, so she knew she was safe to walk around the castle, but it wasn't that early, either. The Slytherin was also tired because she hadn't eaten much, if anything. Sara kept walking along the corridor, wanting nothing more than to have food in her stomach. It was the only thing in her mind at the moment as she neared the kitchens.

 

[Anastasie Vernier]

With the semester almost over and the exams almost near, Ana was not in a very good mood. She had managed to somehow lose her Defence Against The Dark Arts textbook and was in quite the panic as she turned her dormitory upside down looking for it. She even looked in the common room underneath the lounge chairs and the coffee table but to no luck. If she had really lost her textbook then she couldn't do any study as all of her notes were inside it, and the thought of failing her exams during her first year made her quite angry. With her hands on her hips she made her way out of the common room and started towards the library. But when she saw a suspicious-looking girl from her house she couldn't help but automatically assume it had something to do with her. "Have you seen my textbook?" she asked her, a tone of assertiveness in her voice. She didn't mean to sound rude but something told her that this girl was up to some mischief and Ana couldn't help but think it was her who stole it.

Sara nearly jumped when she heard a voice behind her, but she turned anyway, and smiled as she saw a younger girl. However when her words registered Sara frowned, shaking her head. "I'm sorry, I don't know what textbook you're talking about?" The girl was vaguely familiar, and only then did Sara realise why. Without much second thought she whipped out her wand, lighting the tip, before she attempted to touch the other girl with her lit wand on her arm.

Ana didn't like the girl's demeanour, especially with the way she denied knowing anything about Ana's textbook like Ana was stupid or something. The first year did not appreciate this and was just about to retaliate before the girl took out her wand. For a moment Ana thought she was going to send some unknown spell towards her and her face turned to a look of panic, not really sure what to do. But when the tip of the girl's wand began to light up, Ana quickly stepped to the side to dodge it once she realised she was playing the assassin game. "How dare you!" she exclaimed, putting her hands on her hips. She was already fired up about losing her textbook and the girl trying to assassinate her just made her even more angry. "I will report you and you will buy me a new textbook." she spat, turning around and walking away from her, continuing her walk to the library.

 

[Isaac Kain]

Isaac had started to realise over the last couple of weeks just how much time hed been spending with Sophie recently. She was by far one of his closest friends at the school, but when she wasn't around to bicker beside him, the third year remained very much by himself. He was wandering the castle, trying to find new sources of inspiration, when a girl nearby started yelling, and without realising he was standing behind her, almost turned to crash into him on her way out. "Hey, watch where you're going!" He shouted back with a frown, angry at how oblivious some of the first years were. Peering over to see who she's been talking to, Isaac nodded at the familiar face. "Hey Sara" he said unsurprised to see her in the dungeons.

Sara was truly bewildered at some people's behaviour. It also made her confused, because she didn't even know the girl. But instead of snapping back at her she let it go, letting the girl walk away, it was better this way anyway. Also, Assassin was just a stupid game so the other girl didn't have to feel so angry about it. When someone greeted her Sara nodded in greeting to the person, sending Isaac a smile. She didn't know whether Isaac considered her a friend, but she did him. Even though they had only spoken like twice. "Hey," she said. "Are you having a good semester?" she asked casually, feeling like conversing with someone today and that someone just happened to be the Ravenclaw.
