There was only so long someone could manage to keep a smile or a smirk in proper form without their face starting to ache. Marlene was reaching that point, or rather had already reached it. Between the attack on the Owlery, a cat being killed in her dorm, Meadowes being an insipid slag, and the ever present misdirection in regards to her housemates and friends about her family, she just needed to be away. Her head had been aching for almost two straight days and Marlene knew one way to ease that and it certainly was not hiding out in the library doing Charms. Instead she headed towards the Astronomy tower, being careful to look at aimless as possible when passing people in the halls.
The lovely thing about the astronomy tower was that it was empty for the most part except for classes, which would be far later in the evening. Sure there were the occasional people with amorous intent but generally Marlene could be alone. And alone she was when she reached the top. That was its own relief as she pulled out her pack, slipping a cigarette out and pocketing it back in her robes. A quick light from her wand and Marlene took a shaky inhale of smoke. Closing her eyes she let every mask peel off, drifting away with the smoke into the darkening evening.
