|Potions| Abandoned

She nodded as the girl asked if she was in Slytherin. In a quiet voice, she said "My parents are muggles." She wanted to reply to Adohiro but didn't wasn't going to let herself get carried away. "I am. It's a bit too much for me." she said Jo wasn't lazy, but easily discouraged, she could work hard, but she couldn't look at others, otherwise, she would get consumed in her own feelings, something she hated. She sighed, now that she thought about it, she does it too much. She had put her name on the parchment, her handwriting was something close to the perfect handwriting of the books, she had to practice HOURS for it, she had poor handwriting as a child, so she had to practice hours, which stuck, but usually it's very messy. She was so tired, she was almost falling asleep, but she woke herself up if she closed her eyes for too long. "Do you think that the O.W.L.'s will be hard?" she asked, if she were to fail them in her 5th year, her parents would be furious. She just hoped to pass, or maybe become a Potions Master, But she just wanted to be a decent witch. She looked around, everybody was still talking and laughing, enjoying themselves. So Jo let herself to enjoy it too.

"Oh, that's cool" Isadora said in response to Jo telling her that her parents were muggles.

"I bet they were surprised to see the magical world for the first time". She looked back to the boy asking about studying.

"Studying is going alright with me, although I feel a little lost on some of it. I'm already dreading going to History of Magic. If I'm already this lost now on a class I think I could enjoy, I can't imagine how bad it'll be for a class I'm already not looking forward to," She said a bit discouraged.

"My name is Isadora, by the way," she said, introducing herself to him. She was getting a bit more comfortable around her new acquaintances and wondered briefly if they shared other classes together. She hoped she could make friends this easily in her other classes if not. She turned back to Jo when she mentioned the O.W.L.s testing they would be taking once they get to 5th year.

"I hope not. But it's a few years off, so I'm doing my best not to worry about it just yet. I figure I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. Although I really hope I've picked up all these classes by then!" Isadora said shrugging her shoulders.

The mention of O.W.L's made her shiver slightly, she had dreaded the thought of not getting any passing grade. "Oh, I'm worried about them RIGHT NOW" she said, she was never the smartest, she could be in the 2nd to 4th place (depending on the subject, she liked History and science, despising math and reading) but with how easily discouraged she got, she would always be put in the corner. "If my mum or dad find out about them, ill never get any sleep" she added jokingly. She also seemed to hate the thought of H.O.M (History of Magic), She just didn't like the idea of a subject she didn't like.
"The moment I get to pick subjects, I'm picking every. They might be useful if the stars line up and I can be an Auror." she smiled, her eyes were fixed on the dark ceiling. Her mind started to wonder but she kept herself awake. She just sighed, this was already making her discouraged, great. More of a fool Jo. she yelled at herself in her brain. Her robes moved as she started getting a restless leg, this happened when she was especially anxious, or just being impatient (which usually was the case).

She couldn't help it anymore, she closed her eyes and started to drift off to sleep with the buzz of talking and occasional laughter.

(To save you from confusion, she likes potions, but thinks Auror would be a more respectable position in the Wizarding world)

Macie Winkle had been the last to enter the potions classroom this morning it seemed she had overslept a few minutes but made it before the professor so she was okay. Macie slowly had made her way to an empty seat next to a young lady who seemed to be sleeping. given the looks of her uniform, the young lady was a housemate. Macie quickly had taken out her supplies and began copying the lesson on the board however unknown to Macie her sketches had fallen out of her bag, they now lay scattered right in the Aisle where anyone could see them or step on them.

Macie then looked around at the other girls around her and gave a soft smile then in her friendliest voice she softly said" Hi" It was obvious though that young Macie was nervous it was her first time around others like herself it was a big change from having to hide in muggle canterbury to being able to let herself be who she truly is at Hogwarts she was so used to hiding her true self that she was not sure how to open up. Macie hoped these ladies were nice and friendly because if they were mean she was going to feel foolish for even speaking.

The sound of the voice of the girl next to her quickly woke her up, for a moment she almost seemed as if her eyes were scanning the room, looking frantically, when she spotted Macie. "Hey" Jo said her voice was weary, she noticed the art on the floor, she didn't want to examine it too closely, for the fear that it might be rude, so she picked it up, and held it out to the Girl. "This is yours, right?" she said, she was holding the artwork facing down, as to not anybody look at it.

She noticed that the girl was a fellow Housemate, so she smiled slightly, she really didn't like the thought of 'Blood Purity' And by the looks of it, the girl was a Pureblood, so by that, she thought she ought to keep her mouth shut, she didn't really want anybody else knowing about her blood status, she was always afraid of something. Be it Bullying or Just mocking, she didn't like the thought.

There was still the buzzing in the class, But it seemed to gradually get louder, so she leaned back again, she again placed her spare hand behind her head, so to support it, as she leaned back against the wall, her face next to the cabinets. She slowly closed her eyes again, to shake herself awake again, to wait for a response.

Isadora smiled when Jo talked about being an Auror. She hadn't thought much to her future career out of Hogwarts. She was still getting used to being here, but now that she thought about it, she wondered what job she would like to set her goals towards. She loved studying magical creatures and she always thought of becoming a world explorer when she grew up. If she could make a career out of that, she would be set for life.

"I think I would like to be a magizoologist when I finish school," Isadora said after a bit of pondering. She was shaken from her pondering when another student entered the class and made her way over towards them. She almost didn't hear the girl say her greeting amidst the buzzing of other students talking but she smiled back at the girl.

"Hello, how are you doing this morning?" she asked the girl. She then noticed the writing that had appeared onto the board and picked up her quill to begin taking notes as well. She wondered if the teacher would be in soon now that the board had become filled with instructions on their first lesson. Either way, she was still trying to multitask her priorities as she didn't want to ignore the new girl in the room but also wanted to be prepared for when the teacher made their entrance. She was more focused on her notes however and missed the girl accidentally dropping her sketches, she only tuned back in when she heard Jo offering the pages back to the girl. She didn't see what was on them but was intrigued although she tried not to pry.

She felt some Of The excitement coming from Isadora as she noticed the blackboard starting to fill up. She cursed very quietly and quickly under her breath as she started to write the notes down rapidly, they were barely legible but she could read it. "A Magizoologist?" she asked as she had never heard of such a profession. Auror was one of the only jobs she knew people could have in the Magic world, (Other than ministry official, potion master, professor, and Aurora) She Knew the existed but she didn't know anything about them.

The sketches were still in her hand, but she kept writing, her eyes fixed on the paper. Her hand was getting covered with ink very fast as she didn't let the ink dry, brushing her hand over it as she kept writing. She started to bite the inner of her lip to concentrate. her hand holding Macie's drawings started shaking as she didn't think of holding it, focusing solely on putting down the notes. She has sat bolt right up and started hunching over the parchment, her hair making what seemed to be a curtain around her face, Hurry UP JOSETTE! she screamed at herself in her mind. A strand of Her hair slowly started to submerge itself in the ink bottle she had put on the table, dying that strand black, as her face was so close to the parchment.

Macie was so focused on the lesson she had not heard the other girl until the girl's hand started shaking she looked up and gently took the sketches. After taking all of the sketches Macie softly said: " Thank you, I'm Macie, what is your name?" Macie was trying to be friendly but it felt strange, strange in a good way she was not as nervous as she was before maybe it was the smell of the new parchment around her but Macie had begun to relax.

Macie then sat the sketches down on the table not caring if the others saw her drawings after all most of them were of things she had seen in the castle. Macie was not shy about showing people what she was drawing she did not mind people seeing her sketches as long as they did not ask her to draw them,
Macie was not able to draw on command she just started drawing and whatever happened, happened.
Macie then turned to the other girls and said:"Hello, how are you today?"


Macie smiled her best friendly smile to show the other girls she was friendly and not a stuck up rich girl.
Macie hoped the other girls were as friendly as they looked.

After closing her eyes for a moment she woke up, the class was empty and it was unbearably hot in the dungeons. She shook her head. "Feels like I've been sleeping for what could have been months..." she thought to herself, looking around she noticed that none of her friends was there. Nor the teacher in the crowded classroom. It felt odd, closing her eyes for a second and waking up to the silence of the school day ending.

"Isadora?" she called, her friend's name coming to her mind as the first thing she thought after waking up. She stood up from her chair from the back of the classroom so quickly that she stumbled trying to keep her balance. "Isadora, Adohiro?" she called looking around the classroom which looked to be empty now. She started to shake herself gently. "Wake up!" she said through gritted teeth. She was supposed to be in class now, she was supposed to be waiting for the professor as the class was starting.

Suddenly through a flash of blinding light, she sat up, looking around she saw her friends and the crowded classroom. Still waiting for class to start, in her chair at the back of the classroom. Jo quickly adjusted herself to not be so comfortable so that she doesn't have to go back to that eerie classroom if she falls asleep again. Sleep was her favourite thing in the world, other than her family and her new-made friends. She looked around wide-eyed."D-did I miss anything?" she stammered adjusting to the sudden change of surroundings, and the noise.
