[/color] she left them with a small wave and exited the hall.
the great hall was full of chatter as hogwarts students were digging into the food that had appeared. briseis wasn't socializing as much as she usually did at dinner time. she had already gotten her full and was ready to leave, but her friends were still eating. everyone around her seemed to be in a better mood than she was which was quite funny considering it was normally the other way around. brushing a strand of her currently dark hair back with her fingertips, she folded her arms and continued to listen to the many conversations around her. someone a few people down from her mentioned a charms essay that was due soon, a light bulb went off in her head as she remembered she had the same essay due and she had yet to start it. procrastination did land her in these situations frequently. rising from her seat, bri sent her friends a simple smile.
"i'll see you guys later. i have that charms essay."
certainly you would think one would be scared to roam the corridors of the giant castle alone, not briseis. the halls were so familiar since she had been walking the same ones for seven years. she still couldn't grasp the fact that this would be her last year as a student in the magnificent school. she would be out into the real world, on her own. she still hadn't even decided on what profession to go into. perhaps she could be like her mother - sit around all day, sipping wine, and be covered in jewels. what a wonderful life, don't you think? briseis suppressed an eyeroll at the thought. she would be miserable.
briseis grew closer to her destination - the library. hopefully, she could get her assignment finished before the library closed at eight. she sighed at the thought of homework since she felt so drained from a long day of classes. her appearance didn't give any hint that she was tired. she was still dressed in her uniform though it did have a few adjustments. her tie was loosen and her skirt pulled up a little higher and her robes undone so that they were bellowing behind her. her feet were aching terribly from her black heels, she was about to kick them off right there but merlin knows what could be on the floor and she quite frankly wasn't about to run around barefoot.
a sound came from around a corner and the brunette slowly came to a halt. her footsteps were echoing, but it sounded like there was another body in the hall. it was possible that someone was just on their way to the library just like she, or she was just hearing her own footsteps. listening closely for any other sounds, she decided that it was her imagination and continued on her way. hearing movement, briseis knitted her brow and stopped once more. "hello?"[/color] she asked with humor in her voice. why was she being so paranoid? it was nothing, really. of course, there was always the thought in her mind that it could be someone hiding out to mug or beat her.
