Rules and reading (Open)

Nora sat up straight. She was forced too on a daily basis or else she would get a slap on the wrist and forced to walk around with three books on her head. And if one fell, she would be forced to do something more severe. Nora was trusted that she would keep up with the strict rules during Hogwarts. And Nora did so. She sat up, her back painful, but she was used to it. She had a single book sat on the table. Potions. Her favorite subject. She smiled as she read about the potions homework. It was easy for her of course. She had bought the book the first day of summer vacation and had already read and performed most of the potions. She was a regular at the apothecary.

She smiled. She would have to write the store owner and let him know that everything was going swell with her studies. And that she would share with him her creations that she had made. Nora turned another page. Some would laugh. A typical Ravenclaw she was spending Saturday in the library doing homework. It was empty, she wouldn't be there if it wasn't. Most were out enjoying the nice crispy fall weather, or stuffing their faces in the kitchens because they had skipped breakfast. Nora had a strict schedule that she liked to abide by. That involved getting up at 7:30 every morning even on the weekends. Why? She didn't know. But it was something she had always done.

Today she wore just simple sweats and a black shirt with her hair in wild braids. Her favorite style. She didn't care about the looks she got with her hair being as obnoxious as it was, but it was the one thing about her she didn't have a rule about. She put a strand in her mouth, a habit she got herself into when she was in a good part in her book. She sat up even straighter if that was possible. She didn't understand it herself, but Nora loved reading her potions book. This would be the second time she read it. It was a good read!
