A birthday on a class day was not something Astra had enjoyed. She'd entered breakfast with Hermes on her heels in an especially playful mood to meet her brother and a horde of owls. Decem from the Lerians bearing well wishes and candies and promises of an extravagant outing whenever she so desired, Miloslav laden with a very draconic gift of scale necklaces and a whole parcel of moving photos, and Novem from her own mum and dad carrying cards and a brand new book and promises to get her ears pierced! The day had started very nicely.

Roderick had breakfast and lunch with her, and his own gift which was to be presented at dinner, the nature of which she remained frustratingly unaware. In between, classes were alright, though seeming to drag far more than they usually did. All she wanted to do was get out of the classroom and outside. She wanted to play, be it simply with her cat or with other people in a game.

As it turned out, she would play with both, finding immediate respite after her final class with Hermes again on her heels and her pack of Exploding Snap cards in her hand.

Sitting on her folded cloak, sheltered by a pillar, Astra absentmindedly shuffled the deck as she watched the fountain. Hermes wandered round the space, occasionally pouncing at little bugs or approaching pedestrians to gather head scratches and compliments.

One of these persons was a fifth year Ravenclaw whom Astra would recognize as the Hawk. Hermes would twine himself around the Hawk's legs and beg for pets before scampering away then back in an attempt to get the Hawk to follow him to his mistress. He seemed to particularly like the boy, perhaps the Hawk had a cat himself. Hermes was usually partial to fellow cat-friends.
