Happy and content. Way more than any potion could do.

Throwing her book onto the grass, the third year sat down next to her stuff and watched people move in the courtyard. This was oddly peaceful, and kind of relaxing. To be honest, the thirteen year old had never really relaxed before, being much more of an on the go person, but she could see why her mom kept endorsing it. It wasn't anything awful. Actually, it was quite fun. Especially watching first years go about and explore or watching friends talk to each other.

And the friends thing reminded Ophelia that she hadn't seen much of Austin lately. Which was strange, because they were fake-hashing out that whole plan to buy a train at the feast and discussing potions. Which also reminded her that she needed to see him about something. Sooner rather than later. But sooner was so soon, and it meant that she would have to get uupppppp! Later. Later was good too.

Reclining into a laying down position, Ophelia smiled and shielded her eyes from the sun, hoping this would make her gorgeously tanned. Probably not, as napping out in the grass usually just made her itchy and groggy, but still. It was worth the effort. Or lack of effort. Whatever, just let her sleep.
