Ashley materialized back in her dorm with the aftereffects of using a portkey fortunately minimal. She levitated her carnation over to the windowsill supporting her rose before promptly collapsing on her bed, settling in for a nice, long nap. Facing her emotions was a tiring thing to do. She needed the rest, and anyway, the afternoon meal wasn’t for another hour or so. She had the time. However, something was preventing her from finding a comfortable position to sleep in. She shuffled through her pocket and found a shrunken book. Sitting up, she enlarged it and discovered it to be a book about Parselmagic, a topic she had been dying to learn for quite some time. Grinning, she hurriedly opened the book and flicked through the pages, sleep suddenly far from her mind.
