Marki sat in the Study Room, surrounded by others who were either reading, working on homework, or futzing around. Marki was doing none of the above. She had her bullfrog Jeremiah sitting out on the table in front of her and was changing him colors with his wand and trying to see what she could do to his croak.
She stopped once she changed him to white, thin golden circles spiraling around him and blue stars everywhere. She smiled down at Jeremiah and nodded her approval, finding it incredibly satisfactory. The blue stars reminded her of her dress for the Yule Ball, which had been the best success of all of the social events she had attended. She had not been teased, taunted, bullied, or picked on. The best dance yet. So, yes, she had been the DJ which put her at the top of the list of socially awkward people that were never to be approached unless in case of emergency, but she was perfectly fine with that. She had had her fun.
She stared down at Jeremiah and said, "Jeremiah, you look a lot better white... No, that was not a racist comment! You were a brownish green before." she shook her head. "Cheeky," she muttered and then tapped him with her wand. He let out a loud, screaming whistle instead of a croak and she and several others had to clap their hands over their ears. "Whoops," she muttered, tapping him again so he let out a croak.
