It was past midnight when cravings startled her restless wake. Probably all those endless thoughts stirred her need for snacks, for sweets to be exact. She slipped out of bed, careful to not wake any of her dormmates. Then she packed up the pumpkin pasties she sneaked out of the kitchen before, turned into her animagus form -a merlin bird-, and off to the dull night sky with the packed paper bag in her beak.
The destination was nowhere and anywhere. She roamed around, feeling the cold wind brush her feather, mindlessly looking for the perfect quiet spot where she can bury her thoughts with pumpkin pasties, when a familiar figure caught her eyes. It was Talbott Winger, the one she befriended in her third year and helped her become an animagus.
He seems somber, just like the moonlight he was under. Looked like the boy was preoccupied, brooding, probably. She glid over, but then hesitated. what if he doesn't want any company? what if he just wants to sit there alone? But another thought came across her, well some sweets could help the mind.
She then approached the boy cautiously, reading the air. The boy looked confused at first, but after he recognized the peculiar dark blue-shaded bird with a packed paper bag on its beak, he chuckled. "Hi Azula", said the boy smiling as the bird perched down next to him. She answered with a squawk and pushed the packed pumpkin pasties close to his hand.
They don't question what or why, as they both knew the other one was bagged with thoughts that most likely want to be kept private. They just sat together, munching on pumpkin pasties, enjoying the chilly night air.
This was supposed to be for Vaultober: Animagus prompt but uuuhhh i got held back with uni and my drawing pace isn't that quick to begin with so this is it ? 😔👉👈 But it's my first time creating a graphic story, and im glad i got them out even with two weeks difference for page 1 and 2 HAHA *sweating profusely at the art style inconsistency*
