It had taken Sabriel a while to reestablish himself with Hogwarts, or -- with more specification -- the Ravenclaw community. His housemates were pleasant enough. Most generally left him alone. Classes were already in full swing, but Sabriel was a dutiful student. He didn't fall very much behind after the first few weeks. He supposed, compared to other students, he was 'smooth-sailing'. However, to Sabriel, each mark off. Anything less than 100%, were failures on his part.
And this was why he currently resided in Hogwart's library, perched beside a peculiarly glassless window.
Sabriel was a slight youth. No more than 5'5. His eyes, as gray as a winter sky, were framed by long lashes. His eyes, however, were not fully responsible for his utterly feminine appearance. The main culprits were his smooth jawline, high cheekbones, and long, platinum blonde hair, or, in short, his Veela blood.
The library was rather nice. Sabriel was curled up on a single chair, nibbling on a bagel he smuggled from lunch. The volume he currently possessed was thick. It was saturated with information regarding magical plants. Rows upon rows upon rows of shelves were lined with similar books, varying from purely informational to purely entertaining. The genres, of course, were marked off and assorted. Each book was divided by author. Often times, Sabriel would allow himself the pleasure of various novels. Greek mythologies. Shakespearean tales. Tall tales. And, amusingly enough, fairy tales.
Sabriel exhaled. A slight, tepid breeze passed from the window and into the library, and he gazed out over the courtyard. Students milled about down below, but the atmosphere was completely different. Their steps were swift and tense. Their eyes did not move from their feet. Sabriel soon located each villain: dark robed Death Eaters with hate in their eyes. Death Eaters. However did they get here? Whenever was Hogwarts, his only sanctuary, teeming with these monsters?
Sabriel turned back to his novel, a note of apprehension in his heart.
