Mod Babysitter | be curious, not judgmental Sophie Brown needed a break.
She'd considered her various options for places of refuge - the treehouse, the butterfly garden, Flamsteed's lounge with the piano, Culloden's office, the trophy room, the armor gallery, which were all places that held great value to her... but ultimately, Professor Dakest's seating area was the most appealing. She assumed that the heat of the fire and the out-of-the-ordinary, outside setting would deter the cobweb-makers from completely covering this part of the castle. And, at the very least, she assumed Dakest would upkeep this area as best as he could whenever he went in and out. Who wouldn't, really?
As the Ravenclaw approached the seating area, she flicked her wand at any cobwebs as she went and vanished them the whole way to the office. She very much adored Dakest, and perhaps it might have been most polite to knock on the door and invite him out to join her, if he was in there - but for now, she simply resigned to sitting in the chair, pulling it as close to the fire as she could without the dancing flames catching her trousers, then picked up the bag of marshmallows and began stuffing one into her mouth after another.
Comfort food. She didn't have the patience to make a s'more. How many could she fit? Who knew. They'd find out, though.
