Better and better (open) « Thread Started on Jun 24, 2008, 5:59am »
Another potion class was ended, another disaster was avoided or so it seemed. As in Amy managed by miracle to not blow up her potion, again, to actually finish, sort of, the assignment for the day, who cared if it was orange instead of purple, orange was such an old fashion color, too bright for her liking, even though it was close to her house colors, hm... oh well, purple was much better, although maybe it still did the things that it supposed to do...but what were they, she was positive that potion had a purpose, they all have, erm... So the girl began to look between the many pieces of parchments scattered in front of her. Of course they weren't all with writings, actually few were, most of them were with drawings she made during the class, they had no meaning but curves and lines going back and forth on the soft paper, but they were far more interesting then that draught or what they were supposed to make that day.
,,Class is dismissed'' the professor said in a scolding tone making Amy's head to jolt up form the papers. She gave him a sort of silly smile and a nod and got up. She began to gather all her things putting him randomly in her bag. She didn’t bother to close it down since her next class was on the first floor and probably won't be a big deal to reach it without spilling something.
WRONG! When the girl threw her school bag on her shoulder half of its content flew up into the air and crashing down on the floor ,,Urgh'' she said frustrated as she put the bag back down and bent to pick up her scattered things ,,this day is getting better and better'' she muttered under her breath as she was reaching for her stuff, one by one.

What a day. Casey had barely managed to get herself out of bed that morning and go to her first class. Now she had to slog all the way down to potions? She felt loved, adored. Actually, no, she felt put upon and dejected as she shambled down a number of flights of stairs so high that she did not care to even think about the sheer amount of stone in them. She wasn't quite awake yet, that was her main problem at the moment. Just that, anything else and she would have been fine.
Of course, being tired and being absent minded at the same moment are not good things. Especially when they were is tandem. And this absenteeism of her higher cognitive powers is what led her to her amazing slip, skid, and crash across the floor as she happened to step on a peice of parchement that was on the ground in front of her.
Due to the rapid transition between standing and sitting on a hard stone floor in conjunction with the speed of the entire thing, Casey's bum hurt, something that was completely to be expected from something such as this. She looked down at her shoe and extricated the peice of paper that was hiding below it. She looked around."Does this belong to anyone?" she asked, still in a bit of a daze.

Ok, now how did this happen, I'm sure this things have plotted to fly as far as they could when they first got the chance the girl thought as she was putting another picked up quill from the floor. Not fair, why are all this things happening to me she continued her thoughts, her complaining thoughts as she bent down to pick up a piece of parchment that flew right under a desk. She couldn't reach it and this was even more frustrating. She got up and frowned at the wooden table as if it was its fault she couldn't reach the object. Although if you think a little it was its fault, how rude to cover up the fleeting little paper.
Amy got an idea, not a very good one according to the rules of the school, but a practical one that will spare her of all the troubles. So the girl turned and looked to see if the professor was still in the classroom and much to her delight he wasn't there. A wide grin began to spread on her face. She reached for her pocket and took her wand out. With a small flick she made the desk levitate as to pick up the piece of parchment. Why didn't she just summon the little thing she didn't know for sure, but she just felt that eliminating the obstacle was a better idea then calling up for the desired object. Of course this again wasn't her best idea since out of nowhere she heard a voice that caught her out of guard. This resulted into a nervous unconscious move of her hand that made the levitating desk flew right into the left wall with loud thumb.
,,Don't do that'' Amy whined as she turned her head to see the cause of her yet another accident. She noticed a girl whom she couldn't remember meeting until now, after all even if she was in her 6th year now, it didn't mean she supposed to know everybody, right? Hogwarts was a big school, with lots of students. She put her wand a side not wanting to cause another problem for now and said with a small sight as she looked at the piece of paper the ravenclaw girl was holding ,,yeah, its mine''

Pain. What a wonderful sensation. Reminds you that you are alive. Or at least that was what Casey had been told by various people through out her life. The reality was quite a different one. Instead of being reminded that she was alive, she was reminded that she had a bony butt as she sat on the floor cringing from the impact between the two. There was nothing else that she could really do at the moment.
"Here you go,"she said as she handed the paper to the girl who had claimed it. By all appearances, it was a member of the Gryffindor house, but Casey couldn't be sure with the fact that she still had her eyes squeezed tight as she tried to decentralize from the pain that was currently taking over her rear. There were things that she wasn't good at handling, and pain was one of them.
She slowly stood up, cringing as the injured muscles contracted to bring her up. She stretched a bit, trying to maintain an air of dignity as her arms reached above her head in the stretch. It hurt, but this was probably the best thing that she could do at the moment. Her balance, as ever, was quite iffy and she was wondering if she could stay upright as she wobbled slightly. She did, but barely.

Amy walked over to the desk she just smashed in the wall and move her hand on the edge. It was kind of ruined, but not that visible, was it? She debated awhile if maybe she should try a repairing charm as well but she was better at breaking things then fixing them. It felt terrible, she had messed up the wooden surface quite badly, but wasn't entirely her fault or was it? Hm, lets see, the spell was alright before she was interrupted and then she lost focus making this happen. Hm, she'll have to go with 50-50. Oh well, what's done is done, can't turn back the time since she doesn't have one of those lovely time turners or anything of that sort.
Just as the girl she was so focused on her own thoughts she heard the voice again. She looked again and for the first time she realized that the girl was on the floor. She probably stumbled on something, could it be her own spread things. Oh, no! It couldn't be, she would have hated herself so much if she was the actual cause to what seem pain or at least that was what it was wrote on the Ravenclaw’s face.
,,Oh, I'm sorry'' Amy said truthfully and rushed to the girl's aid. She was standing by her side as she seemed to be able to get up and stretch a while, even though her balance what a bit wobbled. ,,Do you need nay help, is there anything I can do for you?'' she asked quickly, concern being more then noticeable in her tone.
