 Foreign Intrigue
"Thank you!" Ally squealed, eagerly jumping out of bed and grabbing her wand. She had just enough time to go back to her dorm and dress herself decently without being late for anything. Ally loved Hogwarts just that much, plus she was on a tight schedule, not wishing to miss a single thing of her soon-to-be ended magical education. Dashing out of the Hospital Wing, Ally ran down the corridor like a mad-woman, trying to get back to her common room. She had to admit, she had become a touch neurotic over the summer. Dodging several students, who eyed her in confusion, she darted efficiently between the obstacles with an almost gazelle-like grace.
Ally very nearly screamed the password at the Fat Lady upon reaching the landing where her portrait was regally perched on the wall. Ignoring the disdainful glare the portrait gave her, Ally zoomed through the common room to the dormitory. She didn't have time to notice that some of her friends were already down there. She was too focused on looking her best for the first day of school.
Once safely in her dorm room, Ally scampered over to her un-opened trunk and quickly made a giant mess of things, scattering clothing item after clothing item on the bed and floor. Finally removing a clean set of robes, Ally hurriedly showered, brushed her teeth, and dressed. A white rose was pinned in her hair and she wore the diamond earrings that her mother gave her when she finally entered the Common Room again. There was a slight smirk on her angelic face. Ally had actually put a charm on herself to speed up getting ready. It had taken her less than five minutes what she could have accomplished in an hour.
