“Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy-warty Hogwarts.” Cora sang as she walked down the corridors of the fourth floor. There was very little happening today, just friends all catching up but it was the weekend so that made it a good first day back. It was the 2nd of September and Cora's birthday. At least it was a Saturday, she kept telling herself, and there was another full day off until lessons officially started up. She was looking forward to school this year. She was going to do great. She was focused, she was driven, there was nothing standing in her way to a great year.[break][break]

During her fifth year, Cora, like many other students, had to really think about what it was she wanted to do with her life, what she wanted as a career. She’d thought of everything possible, she thought of simply just letting things flow, seeing where she ended up but the she decided to look into becoming an Auror. Well that was it. It was all basically decided from that point on for the young Witch.[break][break]

A chill ran through the corridor and Cora folded her arms. She wasn’t wearing her cloak, only her muggle clothes that the wizarding world really seemed to have taken a liking to. Cora had to admit it was far comfier than robes all the time and she loved jeans! She only had a small range of clothes but she needed more jumpers. Winter was creeping ever closer and she needed to be warmer. [break][break]

Quietly she headed away from where she'd been walking, roaming aimlessly around the floors of the castle. She’d spent a bit of time in a far corner of the library, reading up on some complicated potions she had a feeling were making their way into the school syllabus this year. She guessed she should probably go visit her dad, he’d want to see her but it was only late morning, lunch would be happening soon and she could see him after that. Potions was going to be a challenge this year but one she was eager to take on. She was looking forward to Transfiguration also and Charms was just a breeze. She and her wand worked well in Charms, it was like a natural gift she had with a complimenting wand. Subjects she sucked at included Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures. Anything that required nurturing was too hard. Astrology she hated and dropped that as soon as she could, though looking at the night sky through a telescope was pretty nice, it was the making and charity of all the moments of the planets and the stars that was the downer.[break][break]

Still Cora looked forward to the school year. She’d be home at Christmas and then again at Summer and that would be it. No more school. She’d be applying to the ministry next year in about February or March year to train as an Auror and then she’d be, hopefully, living with her boyfriend. Life would be weird. She’d be an actual grown-up. She was technically a legal adult now by wizarding world standards but it didn’t feel that way, not yet. She was still at school and … and … the thought filled her with both excitement and dread but thankfully she had loved ones that would make her transition so much easier.[break][break]

Cora stepped onto the stairs she’d been heading towards. She intended to make her way down to the great hall, get an early start on lunch but the castle seemed to have a mind of its own today, the castle seemed to think that she needed to go the other way so instead of taking her to the left corridor of the third floor it took her towards the charms classrooms. She smiled a little but this was not where she wanted to go, but she supposed Hogwarts had its reasons for sending her this way, perhaps she was going to find a little kitten or a half eaten raven. It wouldn’t be the first time if she did come across a semi-eaten raven.[break][break]
