It was early on a cold Saturday morning and the great hall was still pretty empty at this time, a great opportunity for Briar to get her sketch pad out and secretly sketch the other students on the neighbouring tables. Sketching was something that Briar did quite a lot as an escape from the stress of hiding her secret from the other students. On this particular morning Briar was drawing a Slytherin male sat over on the Slytherin table, he was eating an apple which Briar was currently adding detail onto her sketch for. She stopped sketching to take a bite out of her own apple before placing it down on her plate and picking up her pencil once more.
Fifteen minutes later the hall began to fill up with students arriving to eat their breakfasts before going out and doing whatever they fancied on their day off. Briar however was still sat there sketching when she heard the morning owls arriving and looked up to see if she could spot her own snowy owl named Marnie. When she finally spotter Marnie she noticed that her owl had a rather large looking package in her claws that was also being carried by another students owl. It looked pretty heavy even then.
Marnie and the other owl set the package down infront of Briar and she smiled softly. "Hey guys... thank you very much for my package, is it from dad mar?" she asked her owl, as she often did. The owl gave a cheerful hoot and then tapped her beak on the box, signalling that she wanted a treat for her work. Briar tore a slice of toast into small pieces and gave a few to the owls before untying the blue ribbon that was wrapped around the box.
Briars father had sent her a package every month since the start of Hogwarts with treats and other things from home that she enjoyed. She pulled the top off the box and a wide smile showed on her features, her father had sent her a new box of artist pencils and many little tubes of acrylic paints. He'd even sent her some new clothes with a note from her step mum saying she'd seen them and thought of Briar, including a new pair of dr marten boots.
When Briar had finished looking through her things she picked up the box and her sketch pad and began to walk towards the exit. It was then that someone walked right into her and knocked the box out of her arms, spilling one of the blue tubes of paint that ran onto her sketch pad, ruining her mornings work. She struggled to contain her growl from the person as she looked up at them square in the face. "Watch where the hell you are going.... look what you did to my picture...." she snapped, not managing to contain the colour change in her eyes as they turned more wolf like as her anger surfaced.
