 open!! Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE!
Daisy wasn't sure why she had decided to tag along to Diagon Alley today. Since she was forgoing her final year at Hogwarts in favor of music school, she didn't have any supply shopping to do. She didn't like the hustle and bustle of so many raucous children and teenagers. And now that she had passed her apparation test, it wasn't like she needed a ride. She could have chosen any day (even a day after all the Hogwarts kids were gone!) to visit.
But either nostalgia or restlessness had driven her out of the house, and a need for quiet had driven her to this garden. The seventeen-year-old wandered, pausing every now and again to admire the flowers and greenness of the garden. The stillness of it would have prompted thoughtful contemplation if Daisy didn't already spend nearly every waking moment, well those that weren't spent practicing, thinking or planning or trying to solve a problem that didn't exist.
She found a nice grassy area and sat down cross-legged. Meditation was good for musicians, she'd heard, something about it helping them be more present in the moment. So she closed her eyes and tried to meditate. |
