Daylight saving was always one of life's double-edged swords. Claire didn't know whether she was thankful for it or not. At the moment she was leaning towards being rather grateful for the extended days, the stretch of light that lingered after she was used to it disappearing behind the surrounding mountains. Having to wake up an hour earlier than she deemed necessary was not a positive. But you take the good with the bad, she reasoned, even if it meant having to leave the safe haven of a warm bed and a sleepy embrace.
Unable to hold back a smile at the though, Claire looked up for a moment, distracted. The sky was an icy blue, but everything was still. With the lowering temperature, Claire had come prepared, bound and wrapped in a scarf and gloves, forgoing her robes in favour of a thick jacket. Perched in her lap, a book detailing the effects of transfiguration on the human form sat heavily while her right hand scribbled down notes she deemed necessary for later study and the essay she needed to write. They hadn't done much on human transfiguration, but they were post-O.W.L level and this was the next step up. It was all sounding rather complicated.
Frowning, she passed a hand over a diagram pointing out the differences in bone structure (or lack thereof) between humans and invertebrates; not that she knew why would you ever want to experience that yourself. She could see how a transfiguration like that might come in handy to use against annoying classmates or foes in general.
She glanced up. The light was beginning to fade and she was finding herself squinting at the pages in front of her. Propping the book up on her banded knees made it a bit easier, but it wouldn't be long before she'd have to head inside to finish this off, and to eat.
