Pumpkins Everywhere! Solo Closed

Avery walked out of the portrait that led to the Gryffindor Common Room. Eagerly awaiting what the day would bring. Before making her way to the Great Hall to eat breakfast before classes, she breathed in the sweet scent of fall. Remembering the smell of her mother's famous pumpkin pie. Avery sighed at the thought. Saddened that she wouldn't be able to taste the rich pumpkin pie that was always her favorite.

Avery shook off the feeling. Not wanting a simple thought of missing home ruin her mood. Avery quickened her pace when she realized it was the end of the week. Finally she would have time to write a letter to her family about how her first month at Hogwarts had been so far. She didn't know what to say though. She didn't even know if they would read it with their lives being so busy around this time.

As Avery approached the Great Hall, she was overwhelmed with the scents of fall. A familiar scent to her. It was then that she realized what the smell actually was. It was the smell of pumpkin pie! Avery burst through the doors of the Great Hall to stopped short in making her way to the Gryffindor table.

Pumpkins surrounded the entire hall. Some were plain, but some had small faces carved into their rough surfaces. Avery smiled and was reminded of home. She used to make jack-o-lanterns with her old muggle friend before she got her acceptance letter. She missed the days when they used to run outside all day without a care in the world, and when they used to stay up as late as possible watching their favorite movies.

That was the past. Now was the time for the future where Avery would work her hardest to learn everything she could. She desperately wanted to be an auror like her dad. The thrill of hunting down dark wizards enchanted her. She wanted to help save people, so from a young age she decided that she would strive to become an auror.

Avery finally snapped out of her daydream and headed to the Gryffindor table before sitting down. She glanced at the food set before her. She was excited to see the exact food she had been craving. Pumpkin Pie! Avery quickly grabbed a piece, and ate it gratefully. Thinking back to the times when she ate pie with her family.
