Sleepwalking. Something that was caused due to a person being sleep deprived and/or stressed. Something that Fawkes was right now. Having being both sleep deprived and highly stressed due to her nightmares. Her sleepwalking had barely started a few days prior to the start of the year. Meaning she had no idea the extent of her sleepwalking self.
Tonight she had walked out of her common room at around 2am. The path she had taken after that was a strange one indeed. First she had gone up to the Astronomy tower which wasn't the most unusual. She normally did that when she was awake anyways. But after the tower her next course of action was to start walking towards the forest. She began to walk through the corridors, going down one floor at a time.
On her way down she stopped in one of them and turned to stare at a portrait. Her eyes were open but the weren't clear at all. She was still asleep, just staring at the poor portrait. After a few more minutes she turned away and continued walking while mumbling something about spiders and the forest, as she had been doing the last few times this had happened. She walked down another floor while she was at is before suddenly stopping again.
