Happy Monday ((Jasmine))

[Vanessa Baer]

Vanessa was running late. Later than usual. Which, granted, wasn't unlike Vanessa; but she was never really this late. Not like this and certainly not when she had class. She bolted up right in her four poster, the curtains blowing softly with the breeze from the opened window. With one swift motion, Vanessa pushed back the comforter and stood, placing her feet on the cool wood. A yawn escaped her as she made her way to the shower, once showered and dressed, she grabbed her rucksack and hurried out of the room. Normally, she would stop at the Great Hall and get something to eat, but she was running too late to do that at the moment. One look at her watch told her just how late she was. She had already missed two classes./ She was going to be uber late for Astronomy and Professor Miller was never nice with house points if you were late to her class. Shaking just a bit, Vanessa continued to rush toward the Astronomy classroom; stopping just as she reached the door. Vanessa collected herself and opened the door, expecting about twenty heads to turn her way.

But the classroom was empty. The chairs were not occupied and there weren't forty eyes staring at her. Vanessa dropped her bag and stared around the classroom blankly. Oh, no! They're outside, it's worse than I thought! She bent down to retrieve her bag when the door to Professor Miller's office opened and she stepped out, holding papers and a pen. The older woman looked up just as Vanessa stood with her bag back on her shoulder, "Miss Bauer, whatever are you doing here?" She asked. Vanessa looked around once more. Confusion obviously written all over her face. Wasn't she supposed to be here? She waited for the Professor to answer her own question, saying something like she was so late she didn't hear the instructions the students were supposed to be outside as she ran into her office to retrieve some papers. But none came, so Vanessa decided to speak up and ask her own.

"Uhm...aren't I late for class?" Miller smiled as she set the papers down and leaned against the desk. It was something the professor seemed to do often and Vanessa often wondered if it was something she was aware she was doing. Vanessa found herself quite nervous even with Miller's soothing smile, Mill was always rather intimidating even if she was smiling. She was a pretty woman, but scary as well. "Miss Bauer, it's Saturday." Vanessa's jaw dropped and she rifled through her bag, pulled out her planner. Quickly, she found the date, and she suddenly felt rather stupid. She sat down in the nearest chair. Professor Miller smiled again and sat down beside her, "I'm touched that you rushed to my class once you realized you were late, even though you needn't have." Vanessa smiled softly as she palced her planner back into her bag. She felt rather foolish and a bit upset that she had allowed herself to believe it was a school day. How stupid could she be?

Vanessa stood from the table and ran her fingers through her damp hair, "Thanks, Professor. I'm going to get some food now that I am able to." Miller smiled and nodded just as Vanessa left the classroom. She walked down the corridors this time. When she reached the Great Hall, she realized it must be a Hogsmeade weekened with how empty it was. Vanessa sighed and was about to head over to the Hufflepuff table when she spotted a familiar Ravenclaw. She sat down beside Jasmine and reached for her friend's toast she hadn't taken a bite of, "Happy Monday!" she greeted, although it was indeed a Saturday.

((God moding of Professor Miller was approved.))

[Jasmine Anderson]

Jasmine was sleeping peacefully in her bed; the covers were tucked all around her to keep warm. It was finally a Saturday, which meant students could sleep it. The best part of the weekends was that there were no classes and to top it off you could sleep in without being late. If students got two days off from going to school than that meant that professors needed to also pile them up with homework. Sunday's were Jasmine's weekend homework day. She spent the whole day in the student lounge with some friends or even by herself working on homework or just reading. Saturdays were just days spent anywhere in the castle for her. Her dream was soon to an end as something heavy jumped on her. Gasping as she shoot straight upward from the bed, she looked around the room. It was empty and also just a bit messy with sheets all from the floor. Where was everyone? It must have to be Hogsmeade weekend since almost everyone was gone. Noticing Dusty's large blue eyes staring at her, Jasmine glared at the Kneazle. "Now why did you do that?" she asked picking the cat-like creature up and setting it down in her lap. Dusty purred happily as she scratched him behind the ear.

It was a good thing Dusty woke her up when he did. She would have slept in to maybe noon and then her whole day would have almost been wasted. Pulling the covers off from over her, Jasmine swung her legs over the edge of the bed and began to stretch. Looking back behind her she saw Dusty poke his head up from under the covers. Grabbing a robe and some towels from her trunk she made her way toward the showers. Twenty minutes later Jasmine was back in the dorm room looking around for something to wear for the day. She might want to dress warm if she decided to head to Hogsmeade or not, it depended on if she found someone to go with. Pulling on a pair of long jeans she also pulled on a white and purple striped long sleeved shirt. Her hair was dried and was kept down for the day. Grabbing an old shoulder bag she set it down on the bed and began to fill it up. Putting in her notebook of lyrics, mini wireless, and wallet with some money, Jasmine slipped her wand into her pocket. Once ready, she gave Dusty one last pat and left the common room to the Great Hall.

The hallways were empty with the exception of a few first years and some professors. Maybe it was a Hogsmeade weekend. Pushing the doors open to the Great Hall, Jasmine made her way to the Ravenclaw table and took a seat. There was still food out left and quite a lot of it. Pilling her plate with a couple pieces of toast and some scrambled eggs, she poured herself some pumpkin juice and began to drink from the goblet. Hearing a familiar voice greet her with a happy Monday, Jasmine looked back at Vanessa. Her friend took a piece of toast from her plate, but she wasn’t too worried about that but the greeting. Monday? Wasn’t it Saturday? “I thought it was Saturday not Monday,” she began noticing that Vanessa carried her school bag with her. Laughing softly she took a bite of one of the pieces of toast. “You didn’t go to class today did you?” Jasmine smiled biting her lip from laughing out loud. “What do you want to do today Ms. Bauer?”

Vanessa nodded enthusiastically, "You bet I did. C'mon, didn't you hear? It's all the rage in London to be in class on Saturday mornings. Gosh, Jazz, get with the fashion." She fluffed her hair a bit and laughed as she finished off the toast and took a sip of her best friends juice. If Jasmine was offended by it, Vanessa knew she would let her know - but she really didn't think Jasmine cared all that much. After all, they were almost like sisters. They did nearly everything together, and Vanessa never took it for granted. She loved Jasmine dearly, and would be devastated if she ever had to leave her or something happend to her. Vanessa shook her head, determined to not think about bad things. Bad things equaled pessismistic ideas and Vanessa hated being pessimistic almot as much as she hated Slytherins, if not more. When Jasmine asked what she wanted to do today, Vanessa thought it over.

It was obviously too late to go to Hogsmeade. And she was actually too tired to be walking around everywhere anyway. "Well, first, I want to have an actual breakfast." She Swung her legs so they were under the table and started piling food on the empty plate in front of her. When she had gotten all she wanted, she started to eat. She was rather hungry and she knew Jasmine would be laughing at her any moment. But she really didn't care. They were close enough friends, they could laugh at each other all they wanted. As long as they didn't mean any real harm by it.

Jasmine continued to bite the side of her check to keep from laughing. Things such as that happened but normally people always remembered about the weekend. Though there were days when Jasmine would take a nape during the day and wake up late thinking she was late for class. Whenever she did that she would get dressed than look at the clock and it would say PM not AM. "You know Vanessa, normal people remember the weekend. I guess what I'm saying is that you’re just flat out weird," Jasmine teased moving the eggs around on the plate. Looking up to see Vanessa fluff her hair Jasmine laughed. "I'm too cool for fashion and keeping up with the latest raves in England." Smiling at her brightly she took a sip of pumpkin juice from the goblet. This was a normal day for them. Their friendship was mostly based on teasing and sharing of many things. There were days when Jasmine didn't feel like teasing around with Vanessa. That was only when she was annoyed or angry with something.

Watching as Vanessa pondered over what they should do this weekend, it was defiantly to late to go to Hogsmeade and Jasmine had to work there tomorrow. Staying in the castle and doing nothing sounded better. Pushing some eggs on to a piece of toast she folded it in half. Jasmine brought the sandwich up halfway when she saw Vanessa's arm speed out toward the food like lighting bolts. Watching as her friend piled the plate up high and dig in. Jasmine laughed, "I think any physical activity won't do today," she said crossing out going out to play Quidditch out of her mind. "You’re such a pig! You know that right?" Taking a bite of the toast-egg sandwich she finished it off and began to make another one. "These are really good. Try one." Setting the toast on her friend’s plate she drank some pumpkin juice.
