Despite the large amount of homework that had been given for the weekend, Mandy actually found herself with a bit of free time on her hands. She wouldn't say the work had been simple, exactly, but she'd managed to use her time wisely and finish everything that would need to be turned in on Monday. That meant her Sunday was hers to do whatever she wanted with. After spending part of the morning straightening up her section of the dorm, she'd made her way to the kitchens and somehow talked the house elves into letting her use the facilities there (not to mention the ingredients!) to whip up a batch of fresh chocolate chip cookies. Honestly, she could have spent quite a bit more time baking, but she didn't want to stay too long and risk getting into trouble, so she took her cooling cookies, grabbed a blanket and one of her mum's romance novels and made her way outside. It didn't take long for Mandy to spread out the blanket and get herself settled on it. With the container of cookies sitting next to her, she flipped her book open to the first page. Her hand absently picked up a cookie to nibble on as she read and Mandy was soon absorbed in the novel, enjoying the luxury of reading for pleasure rather than being too buried in work to find the time. |
