By The Fire

[Seraphina Albrecht]

@Artemisia Carrow

The chilly atmosphere of the room caused goosebumps to appear across the blonde's pale skin, even though she was a proud Slytherin she sometimes did not enjoy the colder months when in the dungeons. At home she was used to heat whenever she required it, the fires were always being lit by the servants and maintained to make sure they were warm enough. There were certain times when she enjoyed the crisp cool air, but this afternoon was not one of those times as it was bitterly cold in the dungeons.

Sat beside the fire, she watched the blue flame as it crackled and danced around. There were very few people in the common room, and so she had resorted to writing some letters home to her parents. Her father often enjoyed hearing from her, hearing how she was doing at Hogwarts. Seraphina did her best to portray the innocent and kind girl in her letters, which were carefully scented and worded.

A little groan of annoyance escaped her lips as she became fed up with the letter, she placed the piece of parchment upon the table beside the seat she sat on and continued to scan the common room, searching for something better to be doing.

Sorry for the wait D:

Winter had not properly come, but Artemisia already had to wear warmer clothes. She had never done well with the cold. As a child, she’d catch colds easily and sadly that had followed her to recent years as well. It was truly a surprise that she hadn’t caught the plague that summer.

With a charms textbook in her hug, Artemisia walked in the Slytherin common room, intending on reading up on some charms they had been taught during their last class. All intentions of studying melted away when she spotted one of her friends, though.

“Miss Albrecht!” she greeted her friend with a smile. She noticed the look of annoyance on her face. “Is everything alright?”
