Charlie wandered through the halls of Hogwarts, just soaking in everything around her. Even after being here five years, she still hadn’t seen all of the castle. The fact that it was just magic awed her, even to this day. Her, a muggleborn… Here at Hogwarts. It felt like a dream. She knew it wasn’t though. She was ever so grateful to be here. She smiled softly to herself, and bent to retie her shoe, which had come loose.[/size]
When she looked up, she blinked in surprise. The staircases must have moved again, the bloody things. She wasn’t even sure where she was but set off anyway. Exploring was fun, in Charlie’s opinion. Plus… if she was correct, she had never seen that painting before… She stopped, studying it carefully. Odd things, the paintings at Hogwarts were. She still was put off by the fact that they moved. It was so odd.
She continued walking along the corridor, just humming quietly to herself, lost in her thoughts. Classes this school year were getting harder as she was approaching her OWLS, and she had difficulty with her anxiety. She eventually had to up the dosage so she wasn’t as shaky. Of course, as a result of all that, her tourette’s was acting up. As if on cue, her shoulder jumped involuntarily. She scowled, though she knew there was nothing she could do about it. And that was the worst thing about the damn disorder. She didn’t want to be a slave to it, and with kids teasing her, she felt very scared and alone, though she tried her hardest to keep a positive attitude. She didn’t want something like that to mess with her focus.
Sighing softly, she sat on a stone windowsill in the corridor, just glancing around. She turned to her left, and right as she did, he shoulder jumped and her left foot slammed down onto the stone floor. Charlie mumbled angrily under her breath. That hurt… Usually it didn’t hurt her, but her foot did jerk down to the floor quickly from where she was sitting. She was so preoccupied with muttering dark words under her breath that she didn’t notice a figure approaching.
