As she spread the essays still in need of grading across the table before her, Melinda was reminded of rather similar afternoons spent in the castle, in the Ravenclaw common room as a girl. As she preferred then to do her homework at least within reach of conversation and companionship, so did she prefer to grade homework now when similar distractions could be had.
This was one of the few remaining assignments between her N.E.W.T. students and their exams, and though she wanted to give it as much attention as she knew they had, she couldn't help but rise and stretch and pace and think, as eager to be out of doors in the May sunshine as her students.
