the ancient stone stairways echoed with the dull cracks of scuffed mary janes rapidly hitting the floor, the owner of such shoes now panting slightly from the excursion. she bounded up the steps to the lookout tower two at a time, hands flapping madly in panic before deciding be useful and hitch up her robes so that they wouldn’t obstruct her stride. outside, the rain pounded relentlessly against the tower walls, its muffled roar slowly growing into a crescendo accented every so often by the odd roll of thunder. a small cry passed through her lips at the thought of what it was doing to her potions homework. her potions homework that she had left sitting outside on the balcony in a moment of sheer stupidity.
she cursed her forgetfulness and quickened her pace.
finally reaching the top of the spiraling staircase, she threw open the wooden doors and bolted inside, eyes immediately going towards the last place she had put her assignment.. only to be met with the sight of wet ink forming running black rivers on the remains of her waterlogged paper. her heart sunk low in her chest.
“well there goes five hours of my hard work,” she commented mournfully, facial features crumpling into that of resignation. “i guess i’ll have to copy it all over again” she pinched the bridge of her nose. “--by hand.” just the mere thought of it was enough to make her cringe.
yeri turned around to head back to the common rooms when a slight movement by the tables caught her eye. she turned towards it, and craned her neck to get a better look at the hidden figure. a clap of thunder boomed outside, illuminating the dark room and making yeri jump.
“uh... is anyone there?”
