It was booooring..Very boring. The professor was talking about runes? Or asking about them. Though it was better than last year as Cassia was able to understand the words. But still it was too early and the Snake could barely get herself to think and even if she did she wouldn't have been able to gather her strength and raise her hand and speak out the answer. And considering she was sitting at the back she needed to fully raise her arm. How much effort would that require, tons!

And the students were answering..so many of them but their voices were like a soothing rhythm for the third year's ears. She was being lolled to sleep. Why couldn't they speak loudly so that she would wake up .And what made it worse was the Professor's old look. He reminded Cassia of her grandmother and naturally that made her sleepy. Of course he was a man but still.

So with all that, the thirteen years old felt her eyelids automatically close. She tried willing them to stay open but they felt very heavy that she failed at that. With her eyes closed and her hand supporting her head the snake sat listening to students murmuring answers.
