Not literally, of course. It was only the beginning of September which meant they still had a few weeks left but they were back at Hogwarts. Which meant lessons. It also - of course - meant Scotland. Had summer ever begun in Scotland? Given by the slight chill in the air, Daisy would have guessed that no, summer always decided not to visit Scotland.
Still, there were a few silver linings.
Maxton really was not following her around and seemed to have hit the ground running in his quest to, she guessed, be the smartest person at Hogwarts ... ever. He actually had been sorted into Slytherin which was slightly surprising to her but, going by the letter she received this morning, not to her Mother.
Also, pears.
It wasn't like Daisy couldn't have pears anywhere else but, as she briskly walked towards the pear tree in the courtyard, she couldn't help but think that there was just something about these particular pears. She shooed away some excitable first years - going by the height - and grinned to herself once she finally found the tree.
At last, old friend!
With the sun shining and the weather so bright and sunny, Noelle was
not staying inside. She had a free period, and she planned on studying. The OWLs were this year and she couldn't take any risks in falling behind. Her schedule was once again packed. She managed to separate times for herself though. But everything was scheduled. If only she was one of those super smart kids that seemed to barely put in any effort. That would be the life.
Instead, Noelle was perched in the pear tree, away from distractions and mouthy first years. Her nose in her Transfiguration book. She heard a voice scattering some of the first years away and looked through the tangled tree branches to look down. Then she saw her. Daisy.
Noelle's mouth turned into a quick grin at the sight of her friend. She closed her book, and stuffed it in her extendable book sack that was perched on another branch. She scurried down the tree and dropped right now in front of her. "
You're here!!" She exclaimed with a grin. Her eyes shining with excitement. Of course she was here though. The school had started back. But Noelle meant...
Here The peach tree.
