Norway is a much colder place, so the coats would definitely be something cozy to be in. And of course, Jonathan loved the fall season.
It may be dark and gloomy but to him it is the most serene season among the four. As much as he doesn't want to do it this term, one of the major reason why he likes fall is that he gets to hibernate. Now, with OWLs and everything in between he can't just hibernate right? That's not the best idea to be doing during fall and don't get him started over winter season. Last term all he did was sleep, he was procrastinating a lot that the only class he manage to complete was Potions.
Fifth year. He's a fifth year already. The least of his worries right now is if his pillow back at the common room is as comfy as it was before. NO. He needs to reassess himself with all this. His father is just expecting too much of him.
Jonathan's thoughts faded as he heard a voice from behind him. He turned his back to see who it was and saw a girl that seemed to be very familiar. New kid that he talked to perhaps, no? Transferred student, no? His expression right now is puzzled. He can't seem to remember her but he does know she is familiar. He has seen of her.... somewhere. Only the name strikes him.
"Uhmm..." he mumbled. he looked in a different direction so that he could at least recall names of people he just met. Think Jonathan... think. He met a lot of people during the feast, unless he met this girl over the summer...
Then that hit him. SUMMER! Yes, he did saw this girl down at Diagon Alley this summer. And she recalled that she stepped on his foot. WHAT? A lot of people has stepped on his lovely foot. Why was that?
Focus. Her name... HER NAME..........
Jonathan is always having one of his pauses everytime he greets a stranger that knows him "--Nora?" he said in slightly confused tone. Now, he can't be sure if that was her real name. Worth a try. Besides, if it was in correct, the girl will just correct him with her exact name.
Ouch. That hurt.
Even if it made her feel better when he actually remembered her, it still hurt that it took him so long to remember Nora. See? The common name was to blame. But... did this mean that her face was common as well? Like... that hard to remember?
Alright. Just because she still felt bad about stepping on his feet some time ago at Madame Malkin's, Nora decided to put on that usual smile, and not act as if she was really hurt. "
Ten points for Slytherin for guessing my name right," she grinned, marking off the green part of his uniform. Yup, a fellow Slytherin, apparently. "
Or make it twelve, so we wouldn't be in the negatives anymore." What happened, anyway? Since she noticed those pretty hourglasses, the Slytherins had minus twelve points. How was that even possible?
