Su had hardly forgotten that there were a lot of things to be upset about at the moment.  Yet with the prospect of classes getting under way again, the continuation of the Quidditch season (less than three weeks until the match against Slytherin), and her friends all finally at easy access, she was finding it much easier to be optimistic.  She had spent much of the day in the library, preparing herself for tomorrow, and now she was fully ready to relax.  Supper had been much better than it had over the past few weeks, probably because it was the first feast with the full student body in attendence, and Su had probably eaten a bit more than she should have.

Having comandeered a corner of the Ravenclaw common room for herself, Su was sitting on the floor, back against the side of an armchair, the new broom polishing kit Lisa had given her for Christmas spread out before her.  Her Cleansweep was balanced on her lap, and Su was struggling to open one of the bottles.  Brow knitted and the tip of her tongue just sticking out of her mouth, Su seemed to be somewhere between determined and frustrated. 

The bottle cap unexpectedly gave way, causing Su's hands to slip, dropping the bottle onto the right leg of her jeans and causing an impressivley sized stain to appear.

 "Agh, bugger all!" she said loudly, groping for her wand and beginning to clean up the mess, coaxing the liquid back into its container.
