[Gryf C. Room] Lazy Evening

[ayiraw]

Ayira was really very bored and feeling quite lazy as she sat on a plush, maroon armchair before the fire. The air that was wafting in through one of the small tower windows did little to rouse her from her spot; the breeze was much to warm. She pondered for a moment why the fire in the fireplace was still lit with the temperature and humidity as high as it was. The thought didn't keep her interest for long though. She thought that perhaps she should get a head start on some of the homework she was going to have the following week. No, she thought. Her next thought was about drawing. That didn't take much effort at all. Where's my parchment? she asked herself internally. It was upstairs, she remembered. Bugger it, she thought.

She sighed and turned her head to stare into the flames of the fire she wanted so much to douse. The common room was much too quiet. She could make out the sounds of crickets chirping and frogs croaking far below the open window, but didn't much care for it. She longed for someone to enter and rouse her from her lazy state of mind. She didn't think she could stand being the way she was for much longer.

Lizzie yawned and sat up in her bed. She was feeling quite refreshed after her long nap and decided to go down to the Common Room to finish some homework. She stood up, straightened out her skirt and picked out a piece of parchment and a quill. There was no one else in the room. Lizzie skipped out of the room and down the stairs. The flames of the fire flickered as a gust of wind rushed from an open window. The common room was also empty. She sat down on one of the chairs and laid down her parchment on the table.

Suddenly, she looked up and saw a girl sitting on one of the sofas near the fire. She was very pretty. Lizzie didn't recall seeing her before but that wasn't much of a surprise as Lizzie was new to the school. The girl looked bored out of her wits as she looked at Lizzie with great interest. Lizzie smiled and decided to talk to her.

"Hullo! I'm Elizabeth McKinnon! I'm new to Hogwarts and I'm in 6th year. You can call me Lizzie though. What's your name?" she introduced herself to the girl politely.
