Adelie felt a staircase lurch as a familiar voice called out to her, turning around, she smiled as she saw her friend Evanora behind her. [b]”Allo der!”[/b] she said brightly, holding onto the railing until the stairs stopped. She waved for her friend to come with her. [b]”Come on then, E. We got breakfast!”[/b] she said, hopping off the steps with a bound and heading for the Great Hall. Addy found Gryffindor’s table and the general area where she usually sat, plopping down and reaching out for a bagel and smearing cream cheese on it before thinking aloud. [b]”I wonder where Jimmy’s gone off ta. Prolly getting’ in trouble,”[/b] she said absentmindedly about her other Gryffindor friend. She looked up to Evanora and smiled. [b]”I got a letter from me mum yesterday. Said she and me dad are headin’ on a cruise over Christmas, so I get ta stay ‘ere over break. Adrienne prolly threw a fit when she got hers, but oh well,”[/b] she shrugged. Addy was used to going back home during Christmas break, but honestly the thought of being at Hogwarts, around her friends, books, classes, etc. Sounded much more appealing. She would get a head start on the second half of the year after all. Not to mention continue practicing her animagus abilities, which she had yet to reveal to anyone that she was even attempting. [b]”What aboot you? Goin’ ‘ome er do ya know yet?”[/b] she asked, knowing the subject was far off, but Adelie was a planner after all. She took a bit of her bagel and glanced at the other tables and some others at their own for a moment as well, finding it hard to stay eyes locked on to one thing for a long period of time, though she saw and heard everything near her and retained it.
