Early morning lessons were easy peasy! Dahlia was no stranger to raising early and was wide awake when she met Tadhg outside for their morning run together. Then it was back inside together to the great hall for a hearty breakfast of a little oatmeal, toast and some strawberries with orange juice. Afterwards she had parted ways to go back to her dorm to shower and get ready for their first lesson of the term.

Really it was all about timing. That's how she was wide awake and perfectly on time as she reached the DADA room with a bounce in her step. Stepping through the doorway there was an immediate difference from the bright corridor she had just been in, to the now darkened evening sky in that of the Forbidden Forest.

Bright blue eyes swung from dark shadowy clumps of trees and surrounding students to the doorway behind her. After what was said during the feast the night before was this meant to be some sort of scare tactic? Cause if so, it was already somewhat unsettling. This was definitely not like the forests where she went camping with her family or Tadhg's during the summer. Speaking of Tadhg.. it only took a moment for her to spot him and make her way towards him.

"Good day, Headmaster," Dahlia greeted softly. Standing side-by-side with Tadhg, her arm brushing up against his, she intertwined her pinkie around his giving it a gentle squeeze. Her free hand now holding her wand.. just in case. One could never be to prepared.
