September is always a busy month for all involved in the world of Education whether it be attending education for personal development or for employment adults, children and teens alike always seemed to be busier than ever throughout the month of September and that was certainly no different from the young Irish lass that was commonly known as Alora Shendrow. Arriving at the famous wizarding school of Hogwarts just eleven days prior the young blonde had been dealing with countless adjustments and new experiences within her young life.

Leaving her beloved home and family behind for the very first time and travelling to the Scottish countryside to reside at the school, Alora had only recently learned within the previous three months the fact that she herself happened to be a witch of muggle-born blood and the fact that magic existed altogether. Although the blonde had been attending muggle school up until this point in time the transition between the school environment had become somewhat overwhelming and exceeded her personal expectations.

Originally expecting the subjects taught at the school to be similar to those she’d been used to such as Maths, Science, English and much more the young girl had come to learn that all eight classes that she would be studying throughout her very first year as a student of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry were anything from what she was used to with the exception of astronomy class which she herself had briefly studied during her primary school years back in Ireland. With classes ended for the week and her homework that was due in on Monday completed the previous day, Alora had decided to take some time to explore the castle grounds to familiarise herself more with her surroundings.

Waking up a little later than usual with it being the weekend, Alora went about her usual morning routine writing in her journal to plan out the day ahead before heading to get herself washed and changed for the day ahead for once the day would be slightly different much to her appreciation. Since her arrival the majority of her time had been spent either in class, eating in the great hall or studying in the school library or her house common room. However, today she would take the time to take care of herself something she’d not had much time to do with the recent adjustments that were far from over.

Heading towards the direction of the student bathrooms to get herself washed for the morning which was usual, Alora dressed in a light cream jumper and a thick pair of black leggings. Her hair was tied up in her usual ponytail as she slipped her ankle-high boots upon her feet grabbing her bag for the day ahead before descending down to the lower floors where breakfast would be held inside the grandiose hall known as the Great Hall. Only ten days ago had she been seated in the room for the first time being sorted into the house of Ravenclaw and to think now how the school year seemed to be well underway was a welcomed distraction.

Taking a seat at the Ravenclaw table as usual the young blonde grabbed herself a large plate of bacon, sausage, eggs and potatoes with a side of baked beans alongside a large goblet of freshly pressed pumpkin juice, a hearty breakfast had begun. Taking out her journal and checking the boxes off for the tasks that she had already completed that morning there were still a few to complete including grabbing herself a nice large mug of hot chocolate to take with her as she would explore the grounds of Hogwarts that very morning to reflect on the happenings of recent events throughout the muggle and wizarding world that she’d been made aware of through school announcements and owls from home.

Making her way outside of the hall once she had finished her breakfast and drink grabbing herself another to keep warm, the young Irish girl left the school for the first time making her way into the school grounds outside of scheduled classes. Entering the courtyard and inhaling deeply a breath of brisk and cooling fresh air it wouldn’t be long till she would notice she was not alone in her decisions made that morning. For sat upon one of the lower walls facing outwardly with their back towards the ancient castle sat a small brunette male.

Gently making her presence known in the hope she would not startle him in any way, Alora smiled gently in his direction as their eyes met for the first time. Taking a deep steady breath the girl begins to speak in her usual Irish twang. “Good morning, Nice day out all things considered eh?” she greeted him before looking up at the brightened sky wrapping her arms securely around her chest almost folding them to keep some of the heat in. Although it wasn’t exactly cold, it was certainly cooler than the heatwave they’d been experiencing throughout the entire United Kingdom throughout the previous months.
