While it was true that Hogwarts wasn't too different to Durmstrang, Mellony Abendroth still hated the place and wished very much to be shipped back overseas, but given current circumstances at home it was very unlikely she'd be allowed back anytime soon. So, for the time being, she was stuck in Potions beside her self proclaimed 'guide' who seemed to insist on telling her the entire schools history before the very first lesson of term started. Narrowed olive eyes stared at the front of the class, waiting for the professor to enter and start the lesson to put her out of her misery.
Up until she first slipped into her uniform, Mellony could quite easily have passed for a male. Chocolate brown hair had been cut short, just barely reaching her shoulders and brushed neatly into place. Years of training at Durmstrang had given her a toned physique and a strong sense of discipline. The female could wake in the early hours of the morning and run miles before breakfast, she could trek through woods in the middle of the night and not twitch at each and every sound around her, she could give the boys a run for their money and yet.. wearing the Hogwarts uniform made her uncomfortable. Why did they insist on wearing skirts? Shifting uneasily on her seat, Mellony once again started to pull at her skirt, trying to cover her knees and get comfortable.. with little success.
"... and thats why we aren't allowed in the library over night." The male sat beside Mellony finally paused for breath, but only for a split second. "Oh, you should watch out for Peeves too, he's a poltergeist and likes to cause trouble. Last week he put itching powder on each of the toilet seats in the girls toilets. You should have heard the screams! Myrtle wasn't pleased." Christian chuckled as he reclined back in his seat and looked around the classroom, noting it was slowly starting to fill up. With a smile that seemed to be glued to his lips, his blue gaze fell upon the the new girl beside him who seemed less than interested in what he had to say, but that wasn't going to stop him.
Running a hand through short, sandy blonde the Ravenclaw paused for a moment, thinking over everything he'd said and trying to think of something interesting that might amuse her. To be honest, if she hadn't found the toilet seat stunt funny, it was unlikely he was going to be able to think of anything else to make her smile. "We have a room of requirement too. It shows up when you need it most and contains everything you need." The male cocked his head as he spoke. "I found it last year, I'd gotten so stressed with my work load that I needed somewhere to relax. I'd never have imagined the room of requirement could conjure up a.." Chris was cut short as the professor entered the room and hushed the class into silence so he could begin.
