Trouble Brewing PV Katie Palsorette Abandoned

@Katie Palsorette

Calypso Starling walked swiftly down the dungeon corridor toward her Potions

classroom. Left at this turn, right at the next. Why must Hogwarts be so maze-like? Cal wondered as she passed under an ornately-carved archway. Today was a double class with Slytherin. It wasn't her favorite subject, though she was certainly competent at it. It was just hard to forget, while she was grinding ingredients and mixing her brew, that this was the very thing that had claimed her sister. At any rate, she was slightly late, as there had been a bottleneck at the Gryffindor portrait hole that morning. Cursing herself for her tardiness -though she really couldn't have done anything about it- the twelve-year-old came at last to the doorway to her potions classroom. Stepping into the classroom, she found that there was only one seat left. One in a middle row, next to a lanky Slytherin girl with a pointed nose and two medium-brown ponytails sticking out from the side of her head. A chance to meet someone new, I suppose, the young Gryffindor thought. At a sharp look from her professor, Calypso hurriedly took her seat. The professor began to talk about the potion the students would be learning how to make that class, and Cal turned to her desk partner, sticking out her hand. "Hello. I'm Calypso."
