#mariah open

“I don’t know how I keep getting points deducted from my House.” Mariah mused as she exhaled. She was looking over the viaducts, it was one part of the castle the caretaker forgot about. So it was mostly empty, save the few that knew the secret passage the led here. 

The moon was waning, and the sky was clear. The pale moonlight shone of the pale castle walls give just enough light to see the faces of those that came her to smoke or snog.

Mariah turned on her heals. Merlin’s tits, she could have heard someone following her.

She turned back down Knockturn towards Diagon Alley. She was coming out of Mr Mulpepper's Apothecary. The shopkeeper was holding a new cookbook for her. It cost her a month’s worth of gallons but it was worth it. Love potions, wolfsbane + many more she’ll be brewing soon.

She steeped onto the cobblestone maze streets still bustling with shopping activities. A small smile curled at the corners of her mouth, and she turned towards The Leaky Cauldron at the head of the street. 

Tom, the bar keep, greeted her with his jolly welcome. She gave him the same in reply + asked for a Dragon Ale. The summer head was blistering. But Tom always managed to keep his inn cool in the sweltering summers and cozy in the frozen hiems months.

She knew she could get detention for this, but she had to get a clipping of the tree before classes let out. She climbed the tree in the Transfiguration courtyard and pulled out her clippers. “Just a bit closer...” She hummed out loud.
