Draven was awake before his alarm went off at six o’clock and was already dressed in his black robes with his nose buried in a book. When his alarm went off, he decided to go talk to Professor Gurgenheim. He got up from the armchair he had been sitting in, set his book down on the table next to it, and stretched his arms toward the ceiling with a yawn. He left his quarters and flicked his wand at the door as he exited, magically locking it to prevent anyone but him from gaining access.

Stowing his wand back in his robe pocket, Draven made his way down the hall in the general direction of the Headmaster’s office. His thoughts drifted to the lesson he and the Headmaster were going to attend today to observe Hagrid, who of course had no clue the Headmaster and Deputy Headmaster were attending. He apparently had some sort of new animal to show off to the students and therefore made it an open lesson to students of any year to come by and watch. It was a good idea, as it would give the First and Second Years a chance to see if they would be interested in taking the class when they got to Third Year.

As he walked, Draven noticed a few students already out of bed and wandering toward the Great Hall for an early breakfast. He rounded a corner and noticed a female student with her nose in a book and wandering blindly down the hall in his direction. As she neared, Draven gave a fake cough to gain her attention. He recognized her from his own House: Ravenclaw. If he recalled correctly, her name was Jordan Latner-Mason and she was in her Seventh Year.

“Good morning, Miss Latner-Mason.”
