Finally a weekend off ((anyone))

Alarice shifted the weight of her incredibly heavy side backback to her opposite shoulder, inwardly cursing her potions professor. Why did he have to assign so much damn homework every damn night?? And same with charms. Practice this practice that. And dont even get me started with Transfiguration. "Write me a foot and a half inch essay on transfiguring an mouse into a tea cozy." Yeah dont think I will Professor Mcgonnigal. Thought Alarice sarcastically. It wasnt that she didnt like her professors or classes. It was just that she had a lot of better things to be doing besides homework.
Oh well, at least its the weekend. Alarice thought smiling slightly as she made her way down the street. It was Friday night and she was on her way into Hogsmeade alone. All of her friends were busy with other stuff that evening and couldnt accompany her. Since Alarice had A LOT of work to get done, she decided that she would take it into Hogsmeade and if she got the chance she would sit down with a butterbeer and do it. But that 'chance' wasnt likely to come. She was in the mood to have some fun that night, and homework just wasnt her idea of a good time. But for some reason it made her feel less guilty if she just took the homework along when her best friend Kelley interrigated her every Sunday about why she did not start her homework sooner.
"I did make an effort. I took it into Hogsmeade with me." Was Alarice's ready made excuse, and then Kelley would let her copy her own work insisting that she get it done sooner next time.
Alarice pulled her long blonde hair up into a ponytail and zipped up her black jumper as she entered the Hogshead to grab a butter beer and find someone to hang out with.

Caiya skipped out of her commonroom. She had finished all her homework in record time and was ready to party. Of course she hadn't bothered to check and make sure the essays where entirely correct but they would suffice. Caiya pushed the thoughts of homework out of her mind. What fun was having a weekend off if all you thought about was whether or not you should have put more effort into a rediculously long essay assigned by a completely mad potions professor. No she fully intended to enjoy herself. After all she could always go back and re do it on Sunday if she felt the need to.

Once outside Caiya adjusted her cloak it was fairly chilly out and the last thing she needed was to catch a cold. Making her way into Hogsmeade Caiya tried to decide the best place to go to find someone cool to hang out with. A sudden blast of icy wind made her decision for her she'd go get butterbeer. Once inside Caiya scanned the crowd for anyone interesting. One girl caught her eye. She had a black jumper on, her hair in a pony tail and she was carrying her backpack with her. "Homework on a friday night?" She asked walking up to the girl. Then she extended her hand. "Hi I'm Caiya what's your name?"

Alarice made her way through the hord of students packed into the Hogshead, their laughter and loud voices ringing in her ears as she meandered up to the bar and ordered a butterbeer. It was ready within minutes and its sweet aroma pleasantly filled nose as she brought the mug along with her to a table in the center of the room. Before she could take her first sip of the delicious drink infront of her, another student, a girl a few years older, joined her.

Alarice let out a laugh at the girls comment. "Yeah, I just couldnt resist getting right on this ridiculously long potions essay I have to do this weekend." She joked sarcastically, to the girl who had introduced herself as Caiya. "Actually, I just brought this stuff along to show my best friend Kelley I spend at least some time on my homework. Did I say show? I meant convince. She smiled at Caiya and took a long swig of the warm butterbeer she had been longing for all day. "Why don't you sit down? I'm not really gonna work on any of this stuff. My name's Alarice by the way." She said shaking Caiya's outstretched hand.
