& I WAKE UP EVERY EVENING
WITH A BIG SMILE ON MY FACE
( and it never seems out of place )
The holidays were always pretty busy around Hogwarts, and after being here for a little over six years Penelope had gotten use to the routines. Penny picked up her large suitcase, and plopped it down on her bed, and opened the silver locks. Swinging open the top the girl looked down at all her clothes neatly folded and all in their respective places. She liked going home because she liked seeing her family. Still it was always a relief to come back to school where her friends were. Every year there were new kids to meet, and new people that she knew were going to hate her. She didn’t mind though because Penelope didn’t care what others thought of her. The chill from the freezing weather was always lingering in the school she thought it was because most of the rooms if not all of them were stone inside and out. The only warm room that she had encountered was the common room where the fireplaces were constantly going in the winter time. Penny started going through her clothes, and putting them all in different piles. She put her jeans with the other jeans and t-shirts with the other t-shirts, and so on. Growing up penny hadn’t really been a neat freak, but after being in the school, and seeing how people keep their rooms it was kind of a reassuring thing. At least she knew she was living neater than some of the other girls here.
After taking everything out of the suitcase she put everything away where it went. In the drawers, and hanging up in the closet every piece of clothing she owned was now clean except for the clothes on her back. Penelope pushed the leather trunk to the floor and sat down on the edge of her bed. She was pretty exhausted from her trip back to school, but since classes were starting back up soon she had to make sure she was prepared, and when the thought entered her head she remembered that one of the professors had given them a paper to write over break. As much as she didn’t want to write a paper right now or even over break she knew she had to at least start on it now. Penny slipped on a pair of slippers, and grabbed a light jacket. She needed to go to the library to do some research on the topic but she nor anyone else wanted to walk through the school without a light jacket on because it was very easy to catch a cold wearing only a short sleeved t-shirt and walking through the school. Penny ran a brush through her curly blond hair, and exited the dorm room.
It didn’t take the girl long to make it to the library, and just like usual there weren’t that many people in there. Penny’s eyes moved over the many book shelves that the room held, and a smile covered her face. Her favorite place in the school was the library because every time she opened one of the book in there she learned something new, and she loved learning new things. Penelope moved to the section with muggle books, and book about muggle in it, and walked down the aisle. She ran her hand along the books, and felt the spines of the book underneath her fingertips. The library always had that book smell. It was hard for her to describe, but it was a distinctive library smell, and she loved it it was one of her favorite smells. Penelope didn’t talk to many people about her love of books and reading because she didn’t want them to say anything bad about it. Not about her in general since she didn’t care what people think about her, but she didn’t know what she would do if someone she was talking to said reading was stupid or something of the like. That was one thing that would probably take little Penny over the edge.
Finally the girl came to the book that she was wanting. It was a book on muggle inventions. Muggle technology was always an interesting topic to her. Penelope had her favorite pieces of muggle technology, but the topic as a whole was what interested her. Flipping through the pages of the book Penny nodded and held the book underneath her right arm as she walked towards one of the many wooden tables that sat in the middle of the room. Penny sat down, and began to thumb through the book. She read so much that it didn’t take her very long to read a couple pages. After reading through a few pages she pulled out a large piece of parchment, and grabbed one of the quills on the table, and began to take notes. Penelope knew that she didn’t have to study to write the paper, but she wanted to be prepared. She was a smart girl, and had a lot of faith in herself, but if there was just one thing that she could learn about anything than she was going to take the time to read about it. After getting through most of the book Penny realized that she already knew half of the stuff that she had taken notes on, but she was going to finish the book hopefully there would be something that she didn’t know in there somewhere.
