EYES ON THE PRIZE! FIRST. She wanted to be FIRST. It wasn't too much to ask, really. And dangit, SHE BELIEVED IN HERSELF.
So, because she believed in herself, the tiny Gryffindor could be found out on the grounds....books and wand scattered all around her as she forced herself to learn whatever she could in preparation for this year's dueling club. UGH. WHY THEY COULDN'T DO MAGIC OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL UNTIL THEY WERE SEVENTEEN, Liv would never understand. Man, she could've gotten so much practice in. WITH HER MUM, TOO. GRR!
Mmmmmmm. What she needed. TRULY NEEDED *DRAMATIC PAUSE*.....was a guinea pig. There was only so many spells she could practice on the flowers....and SHE ABSOLUTELY REFUSED TO CAST ON GUS.........who could be found a short distance away, stretched out among the grass. Every now and again, he'd flick a lazy glance her way.
With an exaggerated sigh, she flopped back on the grass herself, staring up at the sky.
I NEED A HEEEEEEERO! 
Bentley needed air and he needed a good muse. The third year knew he wouldn't get that by sitting in his common room so he made his way down to the courtyard. This wasn't before getting lost at least twice on his way down because the staircase decided to change on him which led to him ending up on a wing of the castle that he had never before been on.
Sigh...you just never knew what you'd get with this castle, which really wasn't a bad thing if you looked at it.
With camera slung over his shoulder he stepped out into the courtyard. HIs eyes immediately fell on a little blonde who was sprawled on the grass. He walked over and stopped just by her head.
"Fancy finding you here Livvy."
