[Who: Poppy and Open]
[What: Skipping class, :o]
[When: Tueday, October 9, after lunch]
[Where: A window nook in a hallway, somewhere in the castle.]
Charms was so stupid, especially now they were doing stupid knitting charms, which was probably a stupid skill they should have mastered years ago, and on top of that, was not something Poppy saw as necessary to learning. So when Professor Kiyan had made the mistake of announcing the lesson before that they'd be spending the entire next lesson perfecting their knitting charms, Poppy had snorted softly and started planning everything she'd rather be doing than trying not to drop stitches. At the top of her list was sleep, glorious, delicious, sleep that she needed to catch up on, because her terrible habit of staying up late to talk and read magazines and just do whatever had caught up with her.
Then she'd gone to lunch with her friends, with a big, milky mug of tea just to help along the sleepiness. The only problem was, on the way back to her dorm she'd started listening to the two people in front of her talking. She couldn't help it! They'd been talking about the gender swap, and how hormones had been running rampant ever since. People Poppy had never even thought of were hooking up, just to try out how their new parts worked. It was fascinating, and Poppy was hoping that she could remember all of the names, just because it was going to be great to pass on to the others. Only, the next time she looked up, she was in a part of the castle she'd never seen before, the two gossipers nowhere to be seen. Poppy turned around and around, but there was no one around, no class rooms, all the doors were shut, locked and imposing.
Well that was just great. Poppy sighed and was grateful there was at least a window nook she could pull herself into, and at least she had her bag, and her journal with her, meaning she plead for help, if she needed.
