Why didnât anyone tell me we had a school uniform I needed to follow?! Oh dear me, everyone just gawks at me, like I am some kind of wild or feral animal. I was told to dress formally! So formal I did! Oh dear me, I think I misread the information I was given. We speak English back home, sure, but it isnât the ONLY language we speak either. Dear me dear me. Was wondering why the teachers were expecting me to wear such hot clothes in autumn of all season. Oh how embarrassing! Everyone must think I am such a blundering fool.
Well to be honest, you are. Donât you have any other formal clothes you could wear that isnât your Durmstrang uniform? Madam Malkinâs shop in Diagon Alley has plenty of clothes for you to buy if you donât.
Hey! And wellâŠ..Not exactly. Nothing that would be similar to what you wear. I have a uniform in brown, and honestly mostly warm clothes. Very very VERY warm clothes. I was informed Scotland gets very cold, so I naturally assumed to think that I should bring things meant for such. Either that person was lying, or has very thin skin. Itâs far from cold here. I have plans to head to her shop soon. I need more weather appropriate clothes anyway. Thinner and not made of furs or dense material.
Hmm⊠well, Scotland can get cold especially during the winter, but itâs still not comparable to mountain temperatures. Yes, you really should go to her shop when you have the time unless you want to carry on looking like fool that is. Sheâll have something much more appropriate for you to wear even for the colder months.
I shall I shall. I just need to stop at Gringotts first, as to have my money transferred to proper coins to that of London. Iâve been told you have good fashion sense. Would you care to offer some advice? I am doubtful my Scandinavian perspective will meet the same as those of Gaelic nature here. I would love for some advice from someone who knows what they are doing after all. You seem to hold yourself high. I have confidence that if anyone would know, it would be you.
Oh well, thank you. Honestly your uniform suits you but obviously you canât go around wearing that still so maybe you should go with something similar. Youâll get a better idea once you see the kind of outfits she has available, hopefully youâll make a good choice unlike those fools going around wearing some of the worst clothes Iâve had the misfortune to ever lay my eyes upon. I hope you wonât make the same mistake. Itâs easy to have confidence when youâre me, I always make the right decisions especially when it comes to fashion.
I think I understand what you are saying. Iâve been told I look the best in red. That it helps bring out my eyes. I think Iâve got a idea on what to go with now! Reds and dark colors! Thank you very much for your advice! I am certain that I will not disappoint your vision. Thank you very kindly for your help. If you ever need any help with anything, such as Dark Arts or Magical Beasts, I am beyond certain I will not leave you to shame on such classes! Friends help friends after all!
Well Iâm glad to hear it, Iâll take your word for it and hope you donât embarrass yourself later on. But you sound confident enough so I suppose thatâs reassuring. Youâre welcome, I look forward to seeing what you choose. And really, do you actually consider us friends? I⊠wasnât expecting that.
Yes! Why not? You were kind enough to actually give me advice! I asked for help, and you helped me. Thatâs something friends do, right? Help each other? So yes. We are friends! When you need help, Iâll be there! Whatever you need. Anyone messing with you? You can count on me to put a stop to it fast. You need help with spells? Iâm there. We have a beast problem? Hook me up! Friends help friends. So when you need help, Iâm there for you! You can count on me!
Oh, well thank you. That is rather kind of you. I had to do something to stop yourself from embarrassing yourself any further but Iâm glad you found it useful. Itâs really respectable that you took my advice instead of getting defensive or ignoring what I had to say. And thank you for the offers, I do appreciate it. If you ever need any more fashion advice then you know who to come to. Also if you need any help with anything related to herbology then let me know, Iâm rather skilled at it, Iâm the best in the class so I know what Iâm talking about.
Really? Oh that sounds like such a wonderful skill to have. Iâm sure Herbology here is different from back home. We learn mostly about plants to avoid, and what toxins they are. Wait, I think Iâm getting Herbology mixed up with Toxicology. Or was that Healing Magic Class-? Potions-? Alchemy? Think the heat is starting to get to me. Jumbling my words! Pardon me. I better hurry off to go and change my attire. Thank you again! Iâll most certainly come to you with questions, and know that you can come to me with yours. Thank you again, Miss Vole! Oh! Pardon me. Cherry! Cherry Cherry-Wood! But Cherry is fine.
Oh, uhh well youâre welcome. Hopefully a change of outfit will help your mind be less jumbled up. And thank you again, Iâll keep that in mind. My nameâs Cassandra by the way, itâs good to formally meet you.
It was wonderful to properly meet you as well, and thank you again for your help. Iâll see you in class! If you ever need to contact me, Iâll more than likely be in the court yard or by Hagrids. If all else fails, head over to Weasleyâs Wizard Wheezes! Take care, Miss Cassandra Vole!
Yes, I suppose Iâll see you around. Thank you for the information, Iâll make sure to keep that in mind. Although I canât say I like pranks so I donât go to that shop very often but I suppose Iâll make an exception if thereâs ever an emergency or something else.If you ever need to find me Iâll probably be in the Herbology classroom or at Madam Malkinâs. Also just Cassandraâs fine. Good day to you Cherry.
